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).

Absolutely Avedon
After reading that yesterday would’ve been Marilyn Monroe’s 85th birthday, I also learned that Bill Gold hired Richard Avedon, the late world reknown fashion photographer, to do the photography for one of her most famous movie posters, The Prince and The Showgirl.
On top of that, Avedon also designed the stylish opening title sequence for Stanley Donen’s Funny Face, starring Audrey Hepburn.
Movie Poster Friends?
Just because two movies share the same title…Does that make them pals? Alrighty then!
Spielberg Does Tintin
Steven Spielberg is producing a reboot of the classic French comic strip series, The Adventures of Tintin, originally conceived by Belgian artist, Jacques Remi aka Hergé (not to be confused with the similarly comic-influenced French illustrator, Hervé Morvan).

Hardbodies 2011!
It appears that Pam Grier and company are taking it off in Cannes for their new flick, Skinny Dip — and their movie poster cheesily resembles that barely memorable 80’s comedy, Hardbodies…
Truman of Life?
Looking forward to seeing Terence Malick’s soon-to-be-released Tree of Life, but the movie poster does kinda remind me of that 90’s classic, The Truman Show.
Best and Worst Movie Posters?
Yahoo just came out with their list of the Best and Worst Movie Posters for the upcoming summer movie season. And though I don’t agree with some of their choices (in either category) — I did like this set of international travel posters for Cars 2.
Star Wars Sale!
CineMasterpieces has a big sale this weekend on eBay — featuring, most interestingly, a trio of Russian and Polish Star Wars movie posters…
The Conformist!
Nobody likes a conformist…except for these movie posters, especially the Polish one by Mlodozeniec (bottom left)!
