The Gun Show

That lovable peacenik, Al Capone, once said in The Untouchables, “They say you can get further with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word.” Well, you wouldn’t know it by this post, but I’m actually an anti-gun advocate — except, of course, when it comes to the movies! Hypocritical? Definitely. But the (phallic?) symbol of the gun seems to be a universal theme everywhere in the world of movie posters.

So if you like these mean machine sheets, then you might like my other pals, Django, Dillinger, and the Twins.

Golden.

The New York Times had a nice little write-up this weekend about Bill Gold’s new poster book from Reel Art. (via MovieArt)
