Japanese Poster Appreciation Month – January 2009

The question to ask is this… 30 years from now will this film play at Terror Tuesday with Zack Carslon singing its praises? Word on how this movie turns out will start hitting the streets of Austin on Monday night after it screens for the press.

Last Day of the Japanese Poster Appreciation Month and be sure to check back in throughout the day as I will be posting one last flurry of posters!

About Japanese Poster Artwork Celebration Month:
To kick off 2009, I can think of no better way of doing so than celebrating Japanese poster artwork. The emphasis will be more of western films through the lens of Japanese poster artwork and of course some of my own personal all-time favorites. At a future date I’ll probably have a month devoted to solely Japanese films and their poster artwork. So be sure to tune in each day during the month of January as I have an incredible amount of incredible Japanese posters that will be on display. Hopefully at the end of this I can convert many of you into life long fans of Japanese posters!

Please help and spread the word on the January 2009 themed Japanese Poster Celebration Month here at Cinema is Dope. Tweet your friends. Mention it in your Facebook status or Friendfeed. Link to it on your blog. Any support is greatly appreciated!!!!!

If you’re interested in Japanese cinema, I highly recommend the following Cinema is Dope picks for January 2009. For this months book selection we have Behind the Pink Curtain by Jasper Sharp. For video recommendation this month we have Linda Linda Linda.

Additionally fans of Japanese cinema will want to pick up this amazing Yasujiro Ozu tribute shirt from Mondo Tees!

As always when in Austin, Texas, be sure to check out Weird Wednesday (January/February 2009 lineup) or Terror Tuesday (January/February 2009 lineup) and of course Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.

My current favorite restaurants in Austin that are an absolute must visit are Clay Pit (be sure to place an order of naan bread) and Uchi. Be sure to tell them CinemaisDope.com sent you if you visit.

Coming Soon – February 2009 @ Cinema is Dope is Lee Marvin Month!!!

This still certainly gives pause that this new re-imagining might work. I’m always initially skeptical anytime any film gets remade or reworked. When it comes to horror remixes, they often are all stylish fizz that offer up noise scares and zero tension. Hopefully, this Jason remix won’t fall into that trap!
