@criterion.bsky.social releasing BIRTH is big news. Been teaching it from a shitty DVD for years. Finally. A masterpiece gets its physical media due.

Drew Struzan (b. 1947 - d. October 13, 2025, age 78) was best known for creating over 150 iconic, hand-painted movie posters during the 1980s and '90s. His distinctive airbrushed-style illustrations defined the look of major movie franchises. Here's a few lesser-known images he did (more: alt text)

Return to Macon County (1975; d. Richard Compton)

A sequel, a small town, and young Nick Nolte, Don Johnson, and Robin Mattson.

A Small Town in Texas (1976; d. Jack Starrett)

Timothy Bottoms, Susan George, and Bo Hopkins sweat it out in another small town.

Harry and Walter Go to New York (1977; d. Mark Rydell)

James Caan and Elliott Gould star in a 19th century bank heist picture.

Meatballs III: Summer Job (1987; d. George Menduluk)

Patrick Dempsey goes to summer camp. "This will be his year to score!"

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

I don't think it would happen here for the same reason but it's funny to remember how economic mismanagement leading to chronic shortages of cooking oil is one of the major factors that sparked the massive protests that doomed Ceausescu.

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.

@realDonaldTrump

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.

…the hours I spent looking at this VHS art. The richness, the light, the realism. It wasn’t until decades later that I realized the same artist was responsible for so much of the imagery of my childhood. Drew Struzan was singular. I’m grateful for the work he left us.

This is no more lawful than if Iran / North Korea / whoever blew up a couple American yachts in the Mediterranean for suspected drug trafficking. On the legal spectrum it sits in the middle of a Venn diagram between overt acts of military aggression, state-sponsored terrorism, and simple murder.
