Blistering Barnacles! Tintin is looking more awesome by the second.


I have said openly in the past that I don’t know what to think about this Tintin movie. These big studio execs are taking my beloved Tintin and possibly destroying everything my childhood stood for. This fear resulted solely from the first Tintin trailer that was shown earlier this year. Just today, however, a new trailer has come out of nowhere that is changing my old, curmudgeony mind. Set your calendar for Dec. 21.

Polish movie posters up for interpretation


Are you tired of lame American film posters? You know, the ones that just have the romantic couple back to back in a fun way as though they weren’t going to get together, or the ones that have the lead actor and he’s holding a gun to let you know it’s going to be all actiony? Basically what I am saying is that American films generally don’t try too hard on the poster side of things. In Poland, however, until about 1989 it was apparently more common to see artists take a stab at poster creation. The end results are very interesting.

Netflix changes positions once again, John Kerry nods in approval [flip-floppin]


I really hope this is the last time we have to write about this damn Netflix saga (although it was rather fun to complain a bit, but that’s beside the point), but it turns out that that the overwhelming negative opinion of splitting Netflix in to two separate entities has made the company sit back and say, “Yeah, that was kind of a dumb idea for our customers.”

Netflix splits own service, creates Qwikster, hassle

What the who what‽ In a Sunday blog post, the CEO of Netflix has announced and confirmed that the streaming and DVD services from Netflix will forever hence be split into two entities. The streaming will continue to be called “Netflix,” while DVDs by mail will be sent from a new place called Qwikster. Yep, because when my mom wants to get a DVD online, having her learn the name of a new service and website is exactly what Netflix needs right now to build confidence among the masses.

I need you to look at this The Usual Suspects poster

Hopefully this poster will not spoil anything regarding the film, but if you haven’t seen The Usual Suspects by now, then I don’t know what to say. Also, you probably don’t get the reference that Moe’s steals for one of their salsas.

Anyhow, I implore you to check out this minimalist poster for the film by Matt Owen. It makes me like the film even more.

BONUS: This There Will be Blood poster. Man, that is great. Take a few minutes to look at all his work. It’s great.
