Movie Poster Friends?

Just because two movies share the same title…Does that make them pals? Alrighty then!

The Muppets Meet Marshall!

The Muppets are coming back for Thanksgiving with a new movie from the Forgetting Sarah Marshall guy, Jason Segel — who, if you recall in the film, performed a funny/touching song by his character who was purportedly writing a Dracula puppet musical.

Below is the new teaser poster, along with some vintage one-sheets by Drew Struzan from the 1979 Muppet movie…plus the Dracula song clip!

Star Wars Sale!

CineMasterpieces has a big sale this weekend on eBay — featuring, most interestingly, a trio of Russian and Polish Star Wars movie posters…

The Conformist!

Nobody likes a conformist…except for these movie posters, especially the Polish one by Mlodozeniec (bottom left)!

Bring Me The Head Of…?

Upon hearing news last night of the death of Osama Bin Laden, I couldn’t help but think of this movie poster from the 1970s Sam Peckinpah film…

Also — and this is no joke — did you hear about the “neighbor” who unwittingly Tweeted about the raid? Apparently, he was kept up late by all those noisy helicopters!

Tarantino Meets Django!

What do you know? Just last week, we featured the beautiful Italian movie posters by Symeoni and Gasparri from the 1960s spaghetti western, Django — and now comes word that Quentin Tarantino has just finished his latest script, Django Unchained, which will surely be a bloody, modern Southern-ized update on the much-heralded, though little-seen classic

Brain Drain

Here’s your brain…on movie posters! Come to think of it, how come most brain-driven movies are horror/sci-fi stories (with the exception of Steve Martin’s brilliant comedy, The Man With Two Brains)? Aren’t big brains a good thing? We should be celebrating the mind — not running away in terror from them!

Used Cars Posters

That vintage movie poster purveyor, EatBrie, has picked himself up some sweet lemons with these delightful door panels from the 1980 auto-comedy, Used Cars…which will nicely complement his already burgeoning Zemeckis Collection.

Btw, the one-sheet on the lower left was designed by Roger Huyssen and the International caricature version on the lower right is credited to Sandy Kossin.

Blow Up Ripoff?

It just occurred to me that maybe The Girlfriend Experience (2009) might have been a bit influenced by Waldemar Swierzy’s Polish version of Blow Up (1967) — which proves once again that good design is indeed timeless.
