My new favorite web site: MoviePosterDB.com

I found this site in the process of updating my trivia slides for this year's Oscar Party, and am now wasting a whole lot of time browsing through the designs for different countries. It's fun to see what kind of marketing the studios thought would be most appropriate in other places.

And where else (outside of Hong Kong) are you going to see this poster for Milk?



Sorry, Engrish fans, the Chinese title is a pretty straight translation: "The Life and Times of Harvey Milk" (with the first four characters being a rough phonetic approximation of Xia-Fei Mi-Ke). If you want more interesting translations, you'll have to go find some bootleg Star Wars DVDs.
