Spoiling the Story
There’s a great article on one of my new favorite sites, Grantland, today. It’s called “Are Spoilers Flipping the Script?” and it’s by pop culture analyst, Chuck Klosterman. In the article, Klosterman ponders whether or not today’s wildfire social media causes screenwriters to approach their work differently from the very beginning of a project: Are [...]
Holy Crap
This is awesome. I’d love to do something like this sometime. (via John Gall’s blog) Tags: 30 Posters 30 Days, movie posters, Office of Letters and Light
Cover That Mug!
Has anyone else noticed a trend in type-over-the-face movie posters recently? Seeing the new one-sheet for Thor over the weekend got me to thinking about it a bit. I can remember seeing a poster for Michael Clayton back in 2007 and actually liking the way it looked with the “The Truth Can Be Adjusted” [...]
Earth Month Movies
There have been a lot of really compelling documentaries about environmental and social concerns over the past few years–some of them even getting Oscar nominations and wins (The Cove, Gasland, An Inconvenient Truth). It seems like as time goes on, more and more of these films are helping to raise awareness about threats to the [...]
And the Oscar Goes To…
I’m not much of a sports fan. I liked the NBA until the Sonics left Seattle and then I vowed to never watch a game again. Plus, it just seems like a selfish, egotistical league now. I do enjoy baseball, but I don’t really follow it too closely. Maybe in spurts, but almost never for [...]
My Best Movies of 2010 List: Like You Needed Another One
For no reason at all, other than because I’m curious to see what I’ll write, I’d like to tell you the top ten films I saw in 2010. It’s tough because I saw a zillion movies last year. But I’ll do my best. Maybe because I saw so many, I’ll do ten that were actually [...]
Movie Posters Until I Can Make Movie Posters
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m obsessed with cinema. I’ve spent just about all of my life–I can remember seeing Star Wars in the theater with my dad and brother when I was four–watching films, dissecting them, and learning as much as I can about everything that goes into making them. I’ve even started [...]
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!
It’s not too often that I have my Sundays free–I’m usually either working on something for my job, trying to drum up some freelance income, or doing something around the new apartment. But on the rare occasion when I can spend my day of rest actually resting, there is always a lovely present waiting for [...]
I Know Where America Will Be Next Weekend
It’s early in the sales cycle, but I just read that Iron Man 2 has already sold five times the amount of tickets that the first film did at this point. That movie earned $98 million in its domestic opening weekend. At this rate, it could be on track for almost $500 million, which far [...]
