Note Martin Scorsese’s latest film Shutter Island opens this Friday (official site)!

Over at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin you will find the image from this still on display in their Making Movies (more info) exhibit. Great to see that someone else has this great still also in their collection and are proudly displaying it in their exhibit. Their exhibit is highly recommended and runs through August 1st. Makes me think of one day taking everything from my collection and doing an exhibit.

The lone image from Taxi Driver (link) that preceded this one has been one of the most wildly popular ones on Cinema is Dope to date, so it seemed fitting to track down some Japanese Poster artwork for fans! At last, here you go!

As of this post Taxi Driver ranks #38 on IMDB’s top 250 (link).

What a odd and ironic publicity still from the gritty mafia crime film Mean Streets from filmmaker Martin Scorsese. It’s like Christmas card done mafia style! I can just imagine if it were a Hallmark card and this image was on the front and on the inside it would read, “Yule tide greetings from Johnny Boy’s clan! We hope you see your boy Tommy has been beaten and gift wrapped with extra love and care! Don’t worry he will recover, well probably not, but happy holiday anyway.”

Happy Holidays to everyone out there from Cinema is Dope! Hope you have a great holiday time and get some great new films to watch. For those in Austin, I highly recommend checking out the LET THE RIGHT ONE IN when it starts playing in limited time slots at the Ritz this weekend (currently playing at their South Lamar location).
