Glee Gets Hung’d!
It appears that the new Hung print campaign looks very much like the old Glee one. (via MonkeyArtAwards)
MOCA Does Hopper…
The LA MoCA now has an exhibition on view commemorating the artwork of Dennis Hopper, and curated by artist/director pal, Julian Schnabel (Basquiat, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly).
Mr. Hopper was a huge collector of Pop Art, but this show focuses on the many paintings and photography pieces that Hopper himself created when he wasn’t in front of the camera.
Double Rainbow Man!
Okay, this video has nothing to do with movie posters, but it really cracked me up and certainly qualifies as a visual miracle. (NOTE: This Double Rainbow Man is unrelated to 70’s and 80’s cult icon, Rollen Stewart, who was featured in the excellent 1997 doc, Rainbow Man John 3:16 by Sam Green.)

RIP: James Gammon (1940-2010)
One of our finest character actors, James Gammon, died last week at the age of 70. Like a poor man’s Sam Elliott or a rich man’s Nick Nolte, the grizzled vet often played whiskey-throated cowboys, ranchers, and alcoholic fathers, as well as starred in a number of Sam Shepard’s Broadway productions, including Buried Child and The Late Henry Moss. Although most filmgoers never knew his name, he had a face you couldn’t forget.
Remake Monday: Bedazzled!
Steinbrenner Dead at 80.
George Steinbrenner ran the New York Yankees more like an old-timey movie studio mogul tyrant than your typical baseball owner — but you can’t argue with success. After buying the Yanks for a mere $10 million back in the early 70’s, he turned the club into the most valuable franchise in professional sports, now estimated to be worth $1.5 billion.
However, aside from the numerous New York Yankees movies that have been made over the years, what most non-baseball fans probably remember most is Larry David’s spoof of him on Seinfeld.
RIP: Harvey Pekar (1939-2010)
Famous crankypants cartoonist, Harvey Pekar, passed away today at the age of 70.
Although he couldn’t sketch his way out of a paperbag, his collaboration with R. Crumb and several more of the industry’s top illustrators brought his comical, curmudgeonly autobiographical stories to life, culminating in the critically-acclaimed American Splendor (2003).
