It’s hard to believe that Hollywood hasn’t made a big budget biopic on civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Jr. (not counting the little-seen 1978 TV miniseries with Paul Winfield). You would think if they can make movies about Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, and even Notorious B.I.G., then surely MLK is more than ready for his close-up.

British director, Peter Yates, has died at 81. Although not a household name, Yates built a solid career for himself, helming more than a few classics…

Ah, today’s a sad day. I’ve come to the realization (or at least my significant other has) that I have too many posters, and not enough wall space…
So I’ve decided to put up a few of my “extra” vintage one sheets and French posters up for sale at the brand-spankin’ new Meansheets Poster Shop on Etsy for all those artsy craftsy design folks out there!
So if you have the wall space, my loss could be your gain…as well as my wife’s!
