The Goon Squad

Move over, Drew Struzan — here comes something a little bloodier. The Goonies + Slap Shot = GOON !

By the way, the artist that did the 1970s Slap Shot poster is Craig Nelson (not Craig T. Nelson of Coach) and he also created John Wayne and The Cowboys — and unfortunately got caught up in the notorious Moscow On The Hudson-Saul Steinberg one-sheet scandal.

In the Shadow of Stooges

The new teaser poster for The Three Stooges just came out and it looks a little shady!

More Marilyn!

Judging from the trailer, it looks like Marilyn Monroe is getting the Notting Hill treatment in the new movie, My Week With Marilyn.

Oh yeah, and check out the new flip-throughable MM book by photographer Bert Stern (and Norman Mailer) from Taschen!

Prohibition Is Prohibited.

I didn’t get a chance to see all of the new Ken Burns PBS doc, Prohibition — but what I did see definitely quenched my thirst as Hollywood’s favorite mobster, Al Capone, played a huge role…

Do It David O’Daniel Style!

Much like his predecessors — and contemporaries — Peter Strausfeld, Olly Moss, and Jason Munn who all supplied their original movie poster visions to the UK’s Academy Cinema and Alamo Drafthouse, respectively — now comes along David O’Daniel and his wonderful limited edition silkscreens for The Castro Theatre in San Francisco.

Jagged Edges…

The new Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher one-sheet for the upcoming biopic, The Iron Lady, looks like it was ripped off the pages of late 20th Century movie poster history…

Crafty Cowboys Get Craftsy

From Richard Amsel (The Shootist, McCabe and Mrs. Miller) and Ron Lesser (Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid) comes this badass foursome of 70s western movie posters that could just as easily fit into any of today’s hipster general stores…

Nirvana Goes Deep

This past weekend, rock music fans were in a deep state of Nirvana (not to be confused with the one-sheet rockin’ PosterNirvana), celebrating the 20th anniversary of Nevermind.

The famous swimming baby on the album cover reminded me of another similar underwater-themed movie poster, starring a legend in her own era, Jane Russell.

The Rum Diary Drinks Up Eat Pray Love?

It appears that the studio behind Johnny Depp’s new Hunter S. Thompson biopic, The Rum Diary, was inspired by the Eat Pray Love print marketing campaign…or maybe they just had too much to drink! (ImpAwards)
