Look up...

I went to an advance screening of Superman Returns this evening. While I was never thrilled with the advance teaser poster (just that "S") when I saw the final poster I was really impressed with the image that was chosen as it never seemed the way Supes had been depicted in the posters for the prior films. Apparently it was influenced by an Alex Ross painting and in the film, I was glad to see these images being used frequently. I think it shows Superman at peace (at least for a while) and contemplating his next moves. I picked up the final version of the poster (2-sided) at Chiller a few weeks back. A great purchase I think..

My art... keeps me sane.

Early Cronenberg posters are difficult to come by. Just by chance I found it somewhat cheap.. I am assuming this one-sheet is the release version of Scanners. I've seen another with a bizarre design that I don't like. I think it was the old laserdisc cover too. THIS ONE, however, is classic. Watch this movie and you'll know that Michael Ironside was destined for cult stardom as Revok.

Can you cure me?

Today I got the one-sheet of The Elephant Man. Anyone who doesn't love this movie just doesn't have a heart.. ALTHO...... I love his one-eyed hood.. and it's so much like young Jason's in Friday the 13th Part 2. In any case, seek out the film if you haven't seen it.
