Just finished reading Frank Darabont's foreword in the latest collection of Drew Struzan's movie poster paintings, and although he comes off sounding like a grumpy old git - which he freely admits - he is dead right about one thing. Film posters these days, or should I say composites, well and truly SUCK!!! They are soooo boring and unimaginative. I really miss the works of art by Amsel, Struzan, Peak etc. Now we just get photoshop paste-it's from some zero in marketing! I think the last one I saw, in the current day standards, that looked half decent was the Dark Knight poster, with the bat sign in flames on the building behind Batman. What do others think?

I agree with him wholeheartedly. I really miss the 60's & 70's artwork and designs for movie posters by artists like Saul Bass, Frank McCarthy, Frank Frazetta, Bob Peak and many, many more. But then, I miss almost everything about movies from those two decades. Den
