Flirting With Disasters!
Prior to director David O. Russell’s Oscar nom this week for The Fighter, the former Flirting With Disaster filmmaker was tragically becoming known more for fighting with Lily Tomlin than making films. But with the passage of time comes wisdom…so who says we all can’t learn something from such disasters?
Cute Couples!

Peak Show
And the Oscar goes to…Bob Peak (1927-1992)!
That’s right, the fourth floor gallery at AMPAS (i.e., The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences) in Beverly Hills, CA is having an exhibition now until mid-April of the greatest one-sheets drawn by the 1960’s and 70’s poster king. So if you’re not impressed by this year’s nominees, you will certainly find a few winners from Mr. Peak’s best pictures.
The Polish Matisse
Ever hear the one about the Polish actress who wanted to be a movie star? Yeah, she slept with the screenwriter!
Okay, so maybe that kind of old school Hollywood humor isn’t for everybody — but yesterday I mentioned the Polish poster artist, Jan Mlodozeniec (1929-2000), and he is definitely no joke. From the early 1950’s through the 80’s, Mr. Mlodozeniec designed a good majority of the movie posters for the most popular Polish and American films that played in his homeland. From Barbarella to Gremlins, Mlodozeniec’s vivid understanding of color once even compared him to Matisse. So even if you don’t like off-color jokes, at least we all can enjoy the bright, beautiful world of Jan Mlodozeniec…
Symeoni Says
If you’re into Italian movie posters, then surely you’ve seen the work of Sandro Symeoni. He might not have gotten the A-list jobs like the infamous BCM Studio, but his work was in many cases just as memorable…
