I loved this movie as teen. Classic screwball comedy gold.
Poster for Frank Capra's "It Happened One Night", starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. It depicts its stars in a color illustration, though the movie is in black and white.

Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd in pure sci fi cheese with a bit more heart and point than necessary.
The poster for the movie Millennium, with a plane in some sort of blue time vortex.

Directed by Gene Wilder. Starring Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, with Dom DeLuise. It's dumb, it's fun. It is criminally overlooked.
Poster for the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother. Gene Wilder is sitting in a chair with Madeline Kahn draped across his lap and Marty Feldman is hanging on the side of the chair.

Don't really have one, but I'm not going to miss this chance to shout out the Incomparable Madeline Kahn. The "i" is capitalized because that's her full title.
The Incomparable Madeline Kahn from Young Frankenstein, with her hair done up like the Bride of Frankenstein. Looking all sultry and badass, as usual.

Nothing rivets teens struggling through a Russian class more than a movie about the last few days of a man about to be purged by Stalin.
Poster for Burnt By the Sun. A Russian film about a man who will soon be purged by Stalin. It shows a Russian officer with a mustache saluting, his young wife and daughter, some Soviet operatives.

Imagine asshole American teens in a high school Russian class watching a late era Soviet movie about bullying. Still, it made an impression.
Poster for the film Chuchelo or Scarecrow. A late soviet film about bullying. It features the image of a young girl and an older man, as well as the accusing eyes of bully kids.

post something random or you'll have an awful December
Old Superman comic layout for his Fortress of Solitude two page spread entitled "the Secrets of the Fortress of Solitude". It's not that interesting.

Who's your favorite Jedi?(Wrong answers only)
Bob Hoskins as Eddie Valiant from the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? weilding the singing sword. A cartoon weapon that croons Frank Sinatra songs.

I miss REAL jouralists
Margot Kidder as Lois Lane from Superman the Movie, specifically the iconic balcony scene when her and Superman flirted more powerfully than a locomotive.

Poster for the 1978 porn film Debbie Does Dallas, starring Bambi Woods. The title is in a football shaped object. Debbie is in her cowgirl inspired cheerleading uniform, which is skimpy, bent over to show her cleavage. She has white pom-poms and a cowboy hat. She is framed by a star logo. The tag line is "Everyone on the team scores when her pom-poms fly!".

DVD cover for the movie The Great Outdoors, starring Dan Aykroyd and John Candy. It features John Candy caught up in fishing line, lifted off the ground. Looking quite put out by it, as the line is attached to a fishing poll held up by a smarmy looking Dan Aykroyd. They are on the dock with a lake behind them. There are pine trees and hills on the far shore. A raccoon hangs out in the bottom left corner.

I know, technically the servers at the club were only done up as JLI characters. Still, creative license.
Cover to Justice League America #34 featuring the subtitle "Island Life". In the foreground Booster and Beetle lounge on deck chairs in swimwear, while still wearing their masks. They look smug. Fire, or rather a waitress that looks like her, is serving them drinks in a bikini and a flower in her hair. In the back, Batman and Martian Manhunter hold Max Lord back as he looks ready to beath the two relaxing men to death with his briefcase. Major Disaster and Big Sur are also in the back stealing bags full of money with cartoon dollar signs on them. All amid the resort backdrop.

Seems to be a forgotten gem.
Poster for the 1998 film Zero Effect starring Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller as a contemporary offbeat Holmes and Watson type duo, but leaning heavy into the detective character being a total creep. The tagline for the movie is "The World's Most Private Detective".

Post something random, or you'll have an AWFUL October!
Random Talk from Austin Powers, brandishing his signature weapon. A shoe. Random fact, the actor Joe Son was convicted of sexual assault in 2011, then later beat his cell mate to death, tacking 27 years onto his already 7 year sentence.

Map of the United States with the words "tell me where you are from" written over it, above a map of the world with the words "using only 2 words" written over it.

Poster for Monty Python's Life of Brian. Big crazy crowd of people and the title in big letters. The words Honk if you love Brian are in the corner.

Leather daddy version of Bookworm incoming.
A very young Roddy Mcdowall in a really uncomfortable leather suit coat and hat. He has glasses and reading lamp strapped to his fedora. Behind him are books and a hanging light. That gold tie he's wearing is pretty sweet though. I'd rock that badboy. Otherwise the suit makes me sympathetic sweat.

announcing my new think tank
The villainous Brain from the Doom Patrol. Literally a human brain under a dome atop a skull like robot transport device. Get it, think tank...get it?

If you rule out the Indie movies I have a real soft spot for this one.
