Is It Art or Just A Movie Poster?
You don’t have to be a Van Gogh to have a movie about you, but sometimes the finer arts just don’t translate well onto the silver screen as you can see below with some of these recent famous artist biopics…
Woody Van Gogh!
Just caught the new Woody Allen romancer, Midnight In Paris — and while admiring the Van Gogh Starry Night inspiration for the movie poster, I couldn’t help but wonder if Van Gogh were alive today, what kind of one sheets would he create?
Considering his legendary slicing off the ear incident, I certainly hope he wouldn’t choose the blood-and-gore route like all of those horribly graphic Saw posters.
Super Spielberg!
It was a super duper weekend at the box office for Super 8, the new J.J. Abrams/Steven Spielberg-produced film that’s been described as a 21st Century mix of E.T. (by John Alvin) and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
And, as you can see below, even the movie posters bare an eerily striking resemblance. (ImpAwards)
Remember The Alamo…No texting, please!
Last Friday, Alamo Drafthouse touted the return of The Rolling Roadshow Tour…well, during one of those screenings, they also discovered a new way of dealing with rude, too-texty customers!
Let The Good Times Rolling Roadshow!
The Rolling Roadshow Tour — brought to you by the movie-loving mavens at Alamo Drafthouse — starts tonight, and the schedule features a big platter of Texas-themed classics. And the posters by indie rock fave, Jason Munn, look pretty sweet, too. (If you recall, British artist, Olly Moss, did the sheets for last year’s show).
Crown of Lichtenstein?
Do you think Harry Crown (99 and 44/100% Dead) and Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) are somehow cinematically related? Doubtful probably, but the unmistakable Roy Lichtenstein-esque pop art touch is clearly seen in both the vintage Get Carter and Happy Tears movie posters below, the latter of which was directed by Lichtenstein’s son, Mitchell Lichtenstein…
New Twilight
The new teaser poster for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 is up and it has a minimalist ethereal E.T. quality, don’t you think?
Movie Poster Friends?
Just because two movies share the same title…Does that make them pals? Alrighty then!
