Remember when the worst thing that teenage gangs did was whistle obnoxiously at girls walking by…or maybe some knucklehead pulled a knife in the park? (IMP)

Golden Gate Bridge Poster Bash!
This weekend marks the 75th Anniversary of the great Golden Gate Bridge — so here’s a movie poster tribute to one of America’s most beautiful landmarks. That said, the glorious International Orange-painted bridge has dealt with its share of troubled waters over the years as 11 men were killed during its original construction — and it was also reported to be America’s #1 suicide destination in The New Yorker, which also inspired the compelling, but controversial documentary, The Bridge.
Regardless of its tragic history though, this iconic monument of early 20th Century manpower is still a stunner — happy birthday, Golden Gate!
Dark Nolan Rising!
You Sank My Battleship!
Hollywood’s recipe for ruining American childhoods, but gaining International box office success: take a lo-fi 1970’s board game like Battleship (the Pong of board games) and Transformers the shit out of it!
Spider Kong!
For some reason, the new Amazing Spiderman one-sheet is giving me a slicker, tinglier King Kong flashback…
French Superhero Remake?
With the box office behemoth that is The Avengers, I’m sure movie studios are scouring the globe for the next big superhero franchise. How ’bout this vintage French Superman — with original poster work done by that evil design genius, Constantin Belinsky?
Gangs of L.A.
There’s more to vintage Los Angeles than just movie stars and beaches — y’know, like transplanted mobsters, prostitution, and dirty cops!
So get out your tommygun because the new L.A. noir-inspired Gangster Squad is ready to plug a few more holes in the Hollywood sign. (IMP)
Spider City!
The Amazing Spider-man has already taken over Broadway, so it’ll only be a matter of time before it weaves its web all over the world’s cineplexes. And Magnificent Mel of MoviePosterCollectors.com has pointed out the new teaser’s clever homage to the original 2002 Spider-man one-sheet (left), each poster respectively reflecting on two of NYC’s greatest landmarks, The World Trade Center and Empire State Building.
Pretty In Pink
Pink is the new black — at least when it comes to the trendy font flavor of the movie poster. Needless to say, the color has been around for a while ever since it got its start on Jack Rickard’s Pink Panther one-sheet back in 1963 and continued its hot streak up through the 1980s with a string of John Hughes movies.
