There’s so much cool stuff going on in this seemingly simple poster for HEIL JUPITER from designer Sam Smith. Love his work so much.

Got to see director Joseph Scrimshaw’s DEAD MEDIA at Kevin Smith’s Smodcastle Cinema tonight. For a film about physical media, it plays really well on the big screen. Catch it if you can. Here’s a photo of me being a dork in front of the key art I created for the film.

I've actively waited for Paul Thomas Anderson to win an Oscar, ever since being blown away by Boogie Nights on the big screen in 1997. But for as exciting as his night was last night, this was the win that moved me the most.

24 years ago I was living in Seattle, and the city’s enthusiasm around the #Mariners and their division championship made me a lifelong fan. Tonight I’m celebrating alone in my living room in New Jersey, but my heart is fully in the PNW right now. Postseason. Let’s go!

I'm not that jazzed about this film based on the trailer, but I do appreciate the Beatles homage in it.
Fantastic Four trailer shot paired with Beatles concert shot to show how the former pays homage to the latter.

Ever since I saw @thejoedante.bsky.social’s MATINEE and learned who William Castle was I’ve been obsessed. Thought I’d redesign the posters from some of his biggest films for fun, starting with 1959’s THE TINGLER.
