This new dramatic poster for The Paperboy takes me back to that less serious 80s teenage sex pic, Mischief…

Old Love.
Most Hollywood movies are all about young love (or anything else they think will score at the box office) — but I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for these ageless romantics.
And don’t forget the timeless Cocoon posters by the legendary illustrator, John Alvin.
Flash-Rock of Ages?
Flashdance fans should be flattered. First, Coyote Ugly borrowed its plot — and now the new Tom Cruise hair metal band flick, Rock of Ages, is taking a cue from its key art.
Oh well. The trailer does look pretty good!
Movie Poster Wallpaper?
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.
Now I guess we know where all those cheesy Trimark and New World 1980s home video posters went!
Thanks A Lot!
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?
SPOILER ENDING BELOW: If you haven’t since this film by now (since it was originally released in 1987), I figure the statute of limitations gets me off the hook.
Return of The Mad Men
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.
The Goon Squad
Move over, Drew Struzan — here comes something a little bloodier. The Goonies + Slap Shot = GOON !
By the way, the artist that did the 1970s Slap Shot poster is Craig Nelson (not Craig T. Nelson of Coach) and he also created John Wayne and The Cowboys — and unfortunately got caught up in the notorious Moscow On The Hudson-Saul Steinberg one-sheet scandal.
Nun Show!
While perusing the IMP, I came across a new release this weekend called The Mighty Macs — and I can hear the pitch now: “Sister Act meets Hoosiers…It’s a slam dunk!”
Jagged Edges…
The new Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher one-sheet for the upcoming biopic, The Iron Lady, looks like it was ripped off the pages of late 20th Century movie poster history…
