"Mad Men" returning for 2 more seasons

Great news for all MAD MEN fans out there - including myself! Mad Men executive producer Matt Weiner has finally struck a deal with AMC and production company Lionsgate to renew the show for seasons 5 and 6, and, possibly, 7. Weiner also pointed out that seventh season (if it is to happen) would also be the end of Mad Men - as that's "how long the story is." The only sad part is that we have 17 months to wait for next season, which won't be airing until MARCH 2012. In the meantime I leave you with some cool poster and magazine art for the fabulous and admittedly most stylish show on TV today...

Can't wait to "Sucker Punch"!

I know I posted about this film already, but all those teaser-promotions - featurettes, new stills and other news bits that keep coming up - make me seriously look forward to this! Anyway"SUCKER PUNCH" is opening in just a week in the U.S. which means we're about to get some proper reviews. Of course there is every chance that the film's gonna suck despite awesome pics and trailers, but I sure hope it won't or if it does - not completely. I love girl power films, and a movie starring a character that looks like a porn-schoolgirl-meets-Black-Mamba plus a gang of S&M fetishist's wet dreams/killer warrior chicks, altogether doing an incredible amount of ass kicking - can't be all bad! In the worst case it should make an awesome piece of cyberpunk trash.

And they have JON HAMM in it too! Definitely, can't be bad...

Johnny on Stranger Tides

So I finally came to terms with the fact that there is going to be another "PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN" movie (loved the first one, disappointed with the rest) and will stop ranting about how DEPP is wasting time and talent while he could be doing something new and how Hollywood can never just "live it alone" and turns every successful flick into a saga with usually lame sequels. I read an interview with the film's creators in EMPIRE, and I know it's supposed to be a proper pirate adventure with JACK SPARROW as central figure and its actually based on a BOOK. Fine. Looking at Johnny staring boldly at the horizon in this latest poster gives me hope it can actually Be good. Well, Johnny, it better be...

Great minimalist film posters

My discovery of the day: minimalist posters by Matt Needle. I'm a big fan of quirky minimalist film posters in general, and Mr Needle is doing a pretty awesome job with them. If you'd love to hang one of those on your wall (I certainly would), you may find his full collection available for sale at http://www.mattneedle.co.uk.
