History of the Meansheets

Meansheets was originally created to spoof movies, movie stars, and all of the various pop culture references that saturate our snarky, celebrity-obsessed society. But after a while, I felt kinda sleazy trying to catch up on all of the Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian gossip…

So, back in December 2009, Meansheets was rejuven-amped!

Meansheets now focuses on the art of the movie poster and the many incredibly talented and largely unknown movie poster artists and designers of the 20th Century. So consider Meansheets like an online museum — where we pay tribute to the Picassos, Monets, and Matisses of the movie poster world…and we were also recently featured in the British national newspaper, The Guardian.

But for those of you who still miss the Megan Fox pics, there’s always the archives!

BTW, the site is named Meansheets because, as I’m sure all of you movie buffs already know, this is a spoof of the early 70′s Martin Scorsese film, Mean Streets, starring a young Robert DeNiro and Harvey Keitel.

And if that isn’t enough to bore you, the official entertainment industry term for movie posters is one sheets.
