We're not flying BA, don't worry, just drink your milk...


Whilst I was debating which flavor biscuit to have this morning - chicken or liver - I stumbled across the coolest looking website. Amazingly for milk. Or more precisely for the American ad campaign Got Milk?

I found it after reading an article on Posterwire about the Movie Poster of the Year 2007 awards. Looking back at 2006's awards it seems that Lionsgate marketing and Art Machine film ad agency have done very well in recent years with their quirky, seemingly independent films and poster designs. I followed links to the Lord of War article (also Lionsgate and Art Machine) and the teaser banner - Got Guns?

The best movie poster of 2007 turns up to be an interesting choice - rejecting some of the more obvious summer blockbusters - Transformers and 300. There is also a link to a good interview with Blade Runner poster illustrator John Alvin and the thought behind the 2000 re-hash/re-envisioning of one of the most iconic posters in Sci-fi movie history. The changes are so subtle that I hadn't even noticed the difference when my Blade Runner re-butcher DVD turned up earlier this year. Think I was just too excited to see it again, rather than study the box. Plus not being able to distinguish colors doesn't help.
Bark.
