As Peaches & Herb used to croon, “Re-united and it feels so gooooood…” Or excruciatingly painful, depending on your high school/college experience. But with the big American Pie reunion happening this weekend, I thought it time to check back in with some old movie friends to watch good times and funny awkward conversations…

The Movie Poster Thief
As if Hollywood and the MPAA didn’t already have their hands full chasing video pirates, they just nabbed a Southern California man who was ripping off bus shelter posters — and his haul was no cheap fare: nearly 3,000 posters estimated to be worth over $450,000 (although I’m sure that number is inflated).
Smackdown of the Titans!
Whether or not you feel the Wrath or the Clash — you must always, always Remember The Titans. (ImpAwards)
Dark Shadow-juice!
Here’s some eye-poppin’ new character posters from Tim Burton’s new film, Dark Shadows — or, as some have called it, Sleepy Shadow Hollow, or Beetlejuice 2012, compliments of our good friends at ImpAwards.
Spiked Movie Posters!
Ever since Spike Lee blasted out of NYU film school with She’s Gotta Have It, he’s always had a clever head for marketing — starting with his Mars Blackmon-flavored Nike ads that helped launch Michael Jordan to mainstream popularity as well as being one of the first filmmakers to open his own movie memorabilia shop back in the day, the now-defunct Spike’s Joint.
So while Mr. Lee’s had his share of hits and misses over the years, you cannot deny his big play potential! (ImpAwards)
Jumpin’ the Shark?

The Wonderful World of Walt Disney…
Yesterday, the MOPO had a sighting of this Goofy spoofy one-sheet for a Walt Disney biopic starring Ryan Gosling. (Posteropolis)
Baby Boom 2?
A Starlet Is Born
Move over Papa Ernie, there’s a new Hemingway hitting the silver screen — Dree Hemingway, the daughter of Mariel Hemingway, who will be making her big starring debut in Starlet at this year’s SXSW Film Festival, March 9-17 — and the one-sheet bears a striking resemblance to her mother’s star turn in Star 80 as well as her late Aunt Margaux’s flick, Lipstick.
