Movie Poster Wallpaper?

In a development that is sure to make most movie poster fans cringe and shrivel up, a company called Weitzner has created a new wallpaper called Cinema Posters that is made from recycled movie posters.

Now I guess we know where all those cheesy Trimark and New World 1980s home video posters went!

Thanks A Lot!

Meansheets thanks you for visiting the site and wishes all you movie poster turkeys a Happy Thanksgiving — with some help from one of my holiday favorites, Planes Trains and Automobiles

F-BOMB WARNING BELOW : Hey, but who doesn’t throw an F-bomb when you’re traveling for the holidays?

Madoff Ripoff!

With this weekend’s release of the Bernie Madoff scandal-inspired caper comedy, Tower Heist, I’d love to see Amy Poehler return to SNL to do her best Ruth Madoff impression since Madam Madoff’s recent appearance on 60 Minutes

Bad Dads.

From now until November 22, the Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco is presenting an art show-based-on-a-film(s) called Bad Dads: A Tribute to the Films of Wes Anderson, featuring one of my personal faves, The Royal Tenenbaums
