I’m surprised at the popularity of this film here at Cinema is Dope. Previous wallpaper I’ve posted from this film has been in the top 10 for months now (view here) with no signs of letting up. I’m glad now to post this great artwork from its Japanese poster for the surging cult status this film seems to be rolling up.

Funny and creative poster artwork for Flying Rabbits. I really like the spin and mesh between stewardess and basketball exhibited here.

During the time it took me to post this, there were 8,000,026 birthday cakes flushed around the world down hotel toilets.

I don’t know what your favorite poster artwork is for the great film Hot Fuzz… my favorite by far is this exciting and fleshed out with several small cool detailed touches Japanese poster artwork. Is this not some terrifically inspired and well done poster artwork? I love it!!!

Can’t wait to see this anthology film with Tadanobu Asano even directing a segement. Jason Gray (read here) mentions: “Asano is an alien named 246 that needs his drum kit or he’ll die” in R246 Story.

At NIFFF, Merde played the strongest of the three segments in Tokyo! with audiences. At the recent Fantastic Fest 2008, Merde played the weakest of the three… go figure. Most people seemed to have a problem with it being a farce… which ironically enough is what Merde completely is! Regardless it was good to see audiences warm up to Interior Design and Shaking Tokyo! I like every part of this film and overall rate it as one of my favorites of 2008.
