Vanity Fair has taken time out from covering the Oscar flavors of the month in their Hollywood Issue to profile the 77-year-old bombshells, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren –– two strong-willed women who went onto live productive lives far from the bright lights of Hollywood.
If you want to check out the rest of these legendary ladies’ beautiful one-sheets, be sure to check out Eatbrie’s impressive collection (scroll down the left side). (EMoviePoster)
Today in the USA is Presidents Day (aka first President George Washington’s birthday), a federal holiday for Americans to celebrate their Presidential history, as well as a much-welcomed Monday off for some offices and their worker bees…(ImpAwards)
Here’s a few new takes on ol’ Honest Abe Lincoln…
And if you’re feeling nostalgic about the Bush years, look back at this set of clever character posters…
With awards season in full swing, I think We Need To Talk About Kevin has won the Oscar for Most Variations of One-Sheet Designs.
And the marketing dept might be running out of ideas since this latest poster bears a striking resonance to Polanski’s baby Rosemary’s Baby. (ImpAwards)
A reader commented that it was American Civil War artist, Mort Künstler — not John (“King Kong“) Berkey — who created the key art for The Hindenburg. This, of course, led me to uncover the full arsenal of Künstler’s explosive, action-packed 1970s one-sheets.
The new Spanish-language Will Ferrell film, Casa Mi Padre, reminds me of this old Burt Reynolds classic hombre flick. (ImpAwards)

Jan Lenica, the Polish poster wunderkind, had a unique relationship with fellow Pole, Roman Polanski, during the film director’s burgeoning career in the 1960s.
Although chiefly famous for his luscious theatrical/opera designs, Lenica added some blotchy-but-beautiful touches to many of Polanski’s eerie early films.
In a world gone Mad, Jack Davis & Co. had a reunion to talk about the good ol’ crazy days of Mad Magazine. “The usual gang of idiots”, as the writers/illustrators called themselves, have been humoring and horrifying readers with their colorful and off-color comic spoofs since 1952.
…yeah, you know me! The wonderful Spanish movie poster trifecta dubbed Estudio MCP (not to be mixed up with The BCM Studio of Italy) — specifically, Ramon Marti, Josep Clave, and Hernan Pico — first appeared on my radar when they were featured in the coffeetable classic, Art of the Modern Movie Poster, by Dave Kehr and Sam Sarowitz, aka Mr. Posteritati.
Sticking to their specialty of film noir and action dramas, the MCP set Español cinemas on fire from the 1950s into the early 1970s with their red hot-blooded designs.
