Fock This
ImpAwards has up the new character posters for Little Fockers…
Remake Monday: Solarises
It sounds like psoriasis — but Solaris was a fairly popular sci-fi pic made in 1972. I first came upon the splendid Russian poster below on the cover of The Art of the Modern Movie Poster (second from left). The film was later relaunched in 2002 (or, some might say had a failure to launch) with George Clooney.
Remake Monday: Heartbreak Kids
It’s Charles Grodin’s The Heartbreak Kid (1972) vs. Heartbreak Kid (2007) with Ben Stiller…
Jackass Movie Posters
Courtesy of ImpAwards and BLT & Associates, here’s a slew of new movie posters for the upcoming launch of Jackass 3D.
In this day in age of self-proclaimed auteurs and creative geniuses, it’s nice to know that some guys just don’t give a sh*t.
Architecturally Significant Posters
They say talking about music is like dancing about architecture. If so, then that means that talking about movie posters that talk about architecture is like…really, really confusing.
In any event, I’m not sure if any of these qualify as great movies, except for Playtime and Metropolis — but they are pretty to look at!
Remake Monday: Bob the Thief
Bob le Flambeur (1955) was given a makeover with Nick Nolte in The Good Thief (2002).
Stolen Art?
This weekend, I got a chance to see the captivating doc, The Art of The Steal, which details the “transfer” of the art collection of The Barnes Foundation, which houses some of the most valuable 19th and 20th Century Impressionist artworks in America (lots of Renoirs, Cézannes, and Matisses) from a small educational institution in Pennsylvania to The Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The film brings up many interesting questions about the big business of culture, so whether you view the film as a non-profit corporate takeover (which the filmmakers obviously do) or just a conspiracy theory, it’s definitely worth adding to your Netflix list.
Plus, for all you mighty poster collectors out there, the film advises the importance of drawing up an iron-clad will to protect your wishes and those of the future owners of your most prized pieces!
Boobs’n Butts!
To get you through the long Labor Day weekend (and officially take Meansheets to a new all-time low), I’m going to top off “Body Parts Theme Week” by busting out with some of the most obvious overtly sexual movie posters!
And okay, to be fair to the opposite sex, I wanted to come up with a post called “Cocks!” — but there just weren’t enough one-sheets exposing that territory. At least none that weren’t X-Rated.
Btw, if sex truly sells — how come I haven’t heard of a lot of these movies?
