A little love and joy from Blazing Saddles to kick start your week!

This was such a fantastic image from Blazing Saddles to preserve that I felt it deserved the extra large treatment of 2000 pixels width and then promptly decided why not go even larger with a near 3000 pixel width and 2000 pixel height large version.

If you love this image be sure to tweet it out, Facebook status it and spread the word!

New Cinema Wallpaper of the Day

A recap of various reviews for this is available over at The Daily (read here). For the reviews that said the film ran out of gas basically the more it goes on… I would have to completely disagree. This was my one real big fear going into seeing this and it pleasantly never slowed down or felt aimless, throughout its run time it was a completely enchanting sugar high that left me wanting more.

If you’re interested in learning more about Lee Marvin, I highly recommend the following Cinema is Dope book pick for February 2009, MARVIN – The Story of Lee Marvin by Donald Zec.

Additionally fans of Lee Marvin cinema will want to pick up this amazing Point Blank poster from Mondo Tees!

As always when in Austin, Texas, be sure to check out Weird Wednesday (January/February 2009 lineup). Previous titles screened include Point Blank.

My current favorite restaurant in Austin is Kyoto Japanese Restaurant. Sushi rolls recommended are their Longhorn and Godzilla rolls. If you’re in a hurry sitting at the sushi bar is recommended. Be sure to tell them CinemaisDope.com sent you if you visit.

I’m not sure if this is the original illustration or reworking of it for poster artwork for this movie, either way I think it’s by far the best poster for it out there!
