New Movie Posters: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Here’s another collection of newly released movie posters, and I’m dividing them up into three galleries. Roll over each image for my comments.

The Good:

Okay, I’m leaving the lights on tonight!

Looks like cute kiddie fun

Kermit vs. an impersonator? I’m in!

So ’80s! Made of win!

The bird is lifting off, promising good things…

The Bad:

Looks like a dull legal “thriller”

These prints appear to be (correctly) fleeing the name “Ryan Reynolds”

Which one is the prettier one?

Goofball font + goofball photos = Bad movie

Doesn’t look like a comedy

A great cast, but this image promises a strictly by-the-numbers romcom

The Ugly:

Ewww… who wants a close-up like this?

I need a map to figure out what I’m looking at.

Too busy… where am I supposed to look?

Remembering the ‘Excitable Boy,’ Warren Zevon

Yesterday would have been the 67th birthday of  singer/songwriter Warren Zevon, one of my favorite musicians. He passed away on Sept. 7, 2003, at the age of 56, a victim of cancer of the abdominal lining. You hear it said a lot that certain people “died too young”; well, Zevon was one of those people.

In this terrific clip from Sept. 8, 2003, David Letterman and Paul Schaefer announced the passing of their good friend Zevon, who had appeared on Letterman’s various shows for over 20 years. This clip includes Zevon performing an absolutely heartbreaking rendition of “The Mutineer” on the Oct. 30, 2002, LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, which was devoted entirely to Zevon.
