Presidents’ Day Poster Bash!

February 20, 2012

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…

Real Scary Women Wear Black!

February 2, 2012

They say real men wear black, but I beg to differ as Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe gets a little dark in this weekend’s Woman In Black

A Trip To Bounty-ful

January 26, 2012

This weekend’s new release, One For The Money, is yet another cinematic take on the Bounty Hunter — prominently featuring that ol’ movie poster prop favorite, handcuffs.

In a development that is sure to make most movie poster fans cringe and shrivel up, a company called Weitzner has created a new wallpaper called Cinema Posters that is made from recycled movie posters.

Meansheets thanks you for visiting the site and wishes all you movie poster turkeys a Happy Thanksgiving — with some help from one of my holiday favorites, Planes Trains and Automobiles

F-BOMB WARNING BELOW : Hey, but who doesn’t throw an F-bomb when you’re traveling for the holidays?

Return of The Mad Men

November 21, 2011

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.
