Friday Harvest: Iron Man 2, The Lovely Bones, and more!

Picture Gallery of the Week:
The John Hughes retrospective

While this gallery does nothing for me (never a fan of his work), I know many will find some solace in these photos; it’s a sweet reminder of a life lived in pictures, one that created the greatest monument to the romance of youth. So if you’re one of his fans (honestly, even if you’re not), next read this blogger’s account of her personal relationship with Hughes. Probably the most sobering and insightful thing ever revealed about him. Browse the gallery.

Poster of the Week:

I Can Do Bad All By Myself

I promote a lot of Lionsgate art because, even for their trashiest
movies, they design the awesomest posters. Tyler Perry movies especially get
the bold and weird ones, fitting perhaps as his movies are ramshackle to the
max. Take a look at the newest I Can Do Bad All By Myself poster for an
example. This fizzy diffusion of neon looks less like a movie advertisement
than a cardstock promotion for electro DJ night in West Hollywood. Just
perfect.

Video of the Week:


Fantastic Mr. Fox trailer

Roald Dahl meets Wes Anderson meets stop-motion animation. In
Williamsburg, several young hipsters pass out from excitement. Story at 11.
Until then, watch the video.
