Movies In Another Universe
Okay, sure they will be the same films, but looking at these posters for Hollywood films of 20 & 30 years ago, all redone by Polish artists for then Soviet-controlled Poland, makes me want to see all of them! They look so much better this way.
How great would it be if our posters could look this good! Wellmedicated has put together a great list of 50 Incredible Film Posters From Poland.
Can you name the film by the poster? The Hollywood Studios would say it’s a problem if you can’t, but to me that’s the joy.

People Power
So many positive things have come out of this election.
Certainly one of them is my renewed love for email. It’s been a total thrill to watch different videos go viral. Whether it’s comics or photos, it’s been a delight to open my email box and see the different expressions people have found to express their delight in the outcome. I have never seen anything like it and it feels like each one brings us closer together.
I had the pleasure of receiving Charles Stone’s preparation email thoughts as he got ready to shoot and post Wassup 2008, and thus share in the thrill as it became the top viral video of the week. I loved getting and seeing all the BattlegroundPostcards that Gus Van Sant and other filmmakers shot and posted. Another friend sent me each video that Lee Hirsch made on Local Voices in Joplin, MO , and when they then got the news that Obama would visit, I felt a wave rush through my body. Time and time again you saw the people take the media into their own hands and bring change. Each time I knew the world had changed for the better.
I didn’t see this video until after the victory. It may not be by a professional filmmaker, but it captures how fresh this campaign was due to folks doing what they loved and sharing it. And it proves that everything is always better when delivered with a good sense of humor.

Quintuplets Nightmare
Lottie Davies photo won London’s National Portrait Gallery’s top photo prize. I admit it: I love things that give me the creeps and this does. Referencing Caravaggio in a modern horror tale captures both the miracle and the nightmare, reminding us what a strange animal we are. It sets my mind a wandering — which is what my favorite work does.

Jordan Crane
I have often dreamed of having a house full of disasters. Not real ones mind you, but drawings and paintings and the such, and all of them of situations going horribly wrong. C’mon, everyone enjoys watching a house burn, don’t they?
Dean Haspiel turned me on to Jordan’s THE LAST LONELY SATURDAY and if it doesn’t break your heart, then you must already be dead. That lead me to Jordan’s website and now I have a couple prints and dream of having more. But lately I have been dreaming of having a house where everything just goes perfectly right, so I am not sure if they will go with the changing decor. But his work is beautiful and worth the trip. Red ink like blood.
