Yahoo released its Best and Worst movie posters of 2011. Do you agree or it just a bunch of pay-per-click hooey?

Happy Holidays!
Meansheets wishes all you poster appreciators a safe, enjoyable holiday season (not to be confused with the Internationally-known Holiday of APF whose worldly collection of Japanese B1s and B2s is out of this world)!
Zoo Story
I’m liking the new teaser posters for Cameron Crowe’s We Bought A Zoo — even if the tree motif has been well documented over the years. (ImpAwards)
Ready For Their Chuck Close-Up?
The trendy new Men In Black posters were undoubtedly inspired from old school modernist painter, Chuck Close’s old school methods of Pointillism…(ImpAwards)
And let’s not forget everybody’s all-time favorite pointillist, Georges Seurat.
The Dude Designs…
Tom Hodge aka The Dude Designs — not to be confused with that other dude from The Big Lebowski (although Hodges’ artwork does show off a certain original charm and character) — is doing his darnedest to elevate the art of the B-movie horror poster and DVD artwork to a B+ level and beyond!
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!
Plays Like A Steinweiss…
There’s a new art/design book out about Alex Steinweiss, one of the classy forefathers of the album cover, that Saul Bass fans will be sure to get their hands on…
Also mentioned in the NYT story is the book release of R. Crumb’s original record cover collection…
Hello Young Adult!
It appears that Young Adult is not afraid to engage the Hello Kitty crowd…
Inception-ing the Tree of Life
Two recent movies that I wanted to love — but, honestly, didn’t quite totally understand (although the visuals were stunning) were Inception and The Tree of Life. Luckily, my cognitive limitations didn’t prevent me from enjoying their maze-terful movie posters/marketing campaigns!
