Nice and New: Saul Bass Posters at MoMA Store
I always struggle when faced with filling out personal questionnaires (they're lame), except when it comes to the "who I'd like to meet" field. My response to this question is always Saul Bass, undisputedly one of the greatest graphic designers of the mid-20th century. Bass's vision has given a face to long-standing brands like Minolta, AT&T, and United Airlines, and he was also a master of film title sequence and poster design, collaborating with the likes of Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, and Martin Scorsese.

Crave Worthy: French Blow-Up Poster
OK, I may have had an irrational love for the 1966 Michelangelo Antonioni film Blow-Up (starring Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, and David Hemmings) since I was in the womb, but I am not alone in my love for the mod Brit film's killer poster. It often tops lists of the world's greatest and most iconic posters (see here and here), written by cinephiles and design fiends alike, and for good reason. The original 1966 Italian design is the one most fawned over, but there are actually several variations, almost all featuring a sexy model and her photographer.
Terry Gilliam Talks About Heath Ledger's Last Role
A new poster for The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus has been released and director Terry Gilliam has also revealed more details about Heath's state of mind during filming, saying:
"Heath was just so full of ideas and fresh dialogue and so unbelievably fast and inventive. He was still, in some sense, speeding from playing The Joker, which had liberated him in a way that he had never experienced before. He was always telling me 'I am doing things in scenes that I didn't know was inside me.
Dakota Takes a Break From Work on Eclipse
Dakota Fanning was on the go earlier today as she caught a flight out of the Vancouver airport. She's been up in Canada for the past few weeks working hard on Eclipse, though she's had time to take breaks and explore the city. There are only about 50 days until we get to see her in action when New Moon hits theaters, but for now we'll have to be content with the new posters for the film and our sneak peek at Dakota as the vampire Jane.
Jennifer Aniston's Honest Interview — Refreshing or Irritating?
Jennifer Aniston turned heads in her white dress today on the NYC set of The Bounty, and she's also attracting attention with her new Elle interview, in which she admits to having no problem being the poster "lonely girl." Her recent film choices reflect that sentiment — movies like The Baster and Pumas appear to celebrate the choices of single women. While it's great to see Jen embracing her critics, it also can seem like she's asking for all the attention on her love life.
Get the Look: Zooey Deschanel's Bedroom in 500 Days of Summer
After much anticipation, I finally saw 500 Days of Summer and loved it! Aside from the easy, romantic soundtrack, hip wardrobes, and counterintuitively hopeful plot, I fell for the movie's interiors, which are charming, inspiring, and easy to reproduce. In the film, Summer (Zooey Deschanel) is a recent transplant, and still has a few boxes sitting unpacked in her apartment.

Robert Pattinson Brings New Moon To Sunny Cannes
Robert Pattinson arrived at Nice airport for the Cannes Film Festival yesterday, and was mobbed by fans and photographers as he walked through the airport. He got to enjoy a much more leisurely time during lunch at a hotel after he'd escaped the airport, keeping his sexy shades on. Last night he spent the night out on the town, looking dashing as always in a black suit and grey t-shirt, with his ever present security escorting him from the party he attended.
