More movie posters spotted around London these last ten days. (Part 1 is here.) Very different from the ads I’ve seen at home for Push, and also: did they make Dakota Fanning’s head freakishly large, or what: Not a movie, of course, but what the hell. I get the sense that this is part of … more…
Movie posters spotted around London these last ten days. Some are exactly the same as those in New York; some are very different. I love seeing how movies are sold in different ways in different places. The U.K. Bride Wars poster is way worse than the U.S. one: The tagline is: “Before the rings go … more…

Which, it turns out, it is. Finally seeing the trailer lessens my curiosity somewhat, however. … more…

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Ah god, I’m gonna be a basket case. Elephant families? Polar bears swimming for their lives? Oh man… Earth opens in the U.S. on April 22; it played in U.K. cinemas in 2007 (perhaps in a slightly different version?).
