Sunday Night Shapton
Leanne Shapton has an eye-opening illustration essay on black-and-white movie rentals in today’s The New York Times…
Your Friends and Moderns?
Pop artist, Alex Katz, did this 1990’s movie poster for Neil LaBute’s urban-angst flick, Your Friends & Neighbors — which looks nicely paired with the 1988 one-sheet for The Moderns, a film that loosely covers that same territory of Woody Allen’s recent Midnight In Paris — proving once again that some posters are indeed timeless.
Badass Belinsky!
Are you ready to get your eyes blown out from an explosion of colors and movie poster passion? Well, you’ve come to the right place because today we are celebrating the work of 1950’s French artist, Constantin Belinsky, who dazzled the pupils of many International movie patrons for years!
Although he wasn’t assigned the best titles — mostly B-movies and genre films — it’s visually apparent that he did the best with what he got! (MoviePosterDB)

The Future Is Back!
Heads up: Miranda July’s new critically-acclaimed film, The Future, is going wider this week and it looks like the indie darling director/performance artist is getting ready for her close-up — even if her cerebral style is sometimes a little upside down!

Rojac’d!
Before J-Lo and Ray-J, there was Rojac — aka Roger Jacquier, an elegant early 20th Century French movie poster designer whose work no doubt must’ve inspired his contemporaries, René Peron and Hervé Morvan.
Anyway, if you’re interested to learn more about this artist, check out Adrian Curry’s excellent post on The Auteurs website right here…
