FrankGrimes Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Let's see, yet ANOTHER John Ford poster and still ANOTHER Gary Cooper poster. Something is wrong here. I'm starting to believe that Kyle has been kidnapped by someone who likes both Ford and Cooper. Those posters were merely okay, "Kyle". Link to post Share on other sites
hlywdkjk Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Ya know, I'm looking at my plans for the last third of the "31 Days.." event and I am thinking I may need to make a few changes - particularly around the 22nd to the 26th. I don't think L'Ombre d'un Doute and Les Enchaines are worthy of being placed in this thread. Or maybe some viewers of this thread aren't worthy. Hmmm.....

hlywdkjk Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Did you say "C'est derrierre?" Are you calling me what I think you are calling me? Harrumph! So what exactly is the translation of "Les Enchaines"? I haven't a clue. Never took French. Kyle In Hollywood Link to post Share on other sites

So what exactly is the translation of "Les Enchaines"? I haven't a clue. Never took French. That one threw me for a loop, too. It looks to mean "The Dissolved" or "The Dissolvers," but I don't know how it correlates with Notorious. Link to post Share on other sites
hlywdkjk Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 "...I don't know how it correlates with Notorious." How did you determine that "Les Enchaines" referred to Notorious? Are you collecting all the foreign language versions of your favorite films too? kjk Link to post Share on other sites

The Internet makes many of us appear to be smarter than we truly are. Are you collecting all the foreign language versions of your favorite films too? I'm not that diseased... yet.

hlywdkjk Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Taking a quick break from the "31 Days Of Oscar Posters" - A news story appropriate to this thread. From The New York Times 11February 2008 John Alvin, Designer of Memorable Film Posters, Is Dead at 59 By DENNIS HEVESI John Alvin, who created memorable images for movie posters, billboards and advertisements, including the two fingers touching above the Earth’s surface for “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial,” died on Wednesday at his home in Rhinebeck, N.Y. He was 59. The cause was a heart attack, his daughter, Farah Alvin, said. Mr. Alvin painted striking images for more than 135 films in a 35-year career, working on projects for directors like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Blake Edwards, Mel Brooks and Ridley Scott. “He captured the heart of whatever the assignment was,” Federico Tio, executive vice president of marketing for Walt Disney Studios from 1990 to 2005, said in an interview on Friday. “John became synonymous with almost all of the recent posters for Disney” — for films including “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin,” “The Little Mermaid” and rereleases of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and “Pinocchio.” “We actually started using him as an adjective,” Mr. Tio said. “We called his work Alvinized.” For the 1974 horror spoof “Young Frankenstein,” Mr. Alvin painted looming stonelike title letters rising from a castle that is superimposed over a full moon, with a crazed Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle as the Frankenstein monster tipping his top hat. For “Blade Runner” in 1982, he used a large composite of Harrison Ford’s face over a futuristic city. His 1994 poster for “The Lion King” shows animals of many kinds surrounding a rock to view the newborn monarch. More recently Mr. Alvin painted posters for the “Star Wars,” “Harry Potter,” “Lord of the Rings” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” series. John Henry Alvin was born in Hyannis, Mass., on Nov. 24, 1948, the son of Albert and Rena Troutman Alvin, both career Army officers. His daughter said that as a child Mr. Alvin was awe-struck by big-budget movies like “The Vikings” and “The Time Machine” and began sketching his recollections of scenes. In 1971 he graduated from the Art Center College of Design, which was then in Los Angeles and is now in Pasadena. In addition to his daughter, an actress, who lives in Manhattan, Mr. Alvin is survived by his wife, the former Andrea Brown, whom he met in art school and with whom he later worked on several projects; and a sister, Suzanne Alvin of Seaside, Calif. In college, Mr. Alvin did some freelance work for Anthony Goldschmidt, an art director in Hollywood. It led to his big break, when he was asked to paint a poster for Mel Brooks’s comic western “Blazing Saddles.” Mr. Alvin’s poster showed Mr. Brooks wearing an Indian headdress with a headband in Hebrew reading, “Kosher for Passover”; superimposed was an image of Cleavon Little on horseback in sunglasses with a Gucci saddlebag. =================== Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 That was very apropos, Kyle. I'm sorry to learn of Mr. Alvin's but I'm glad to learn of his name. I thank you for that. I've become a great admirer of posterwork since I have found classic film and this board and your thread have greatly enhanced my appreciation of such art. It's why I often thank you for the thread. And, to be honest, I'm far more familiar with Mel Brooks and E.T. than classic film, but that has been changing in recent years. Link to post Share on other sites

hlywdkjk Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 "What Best Picture winner?" Oops. My error. And I'll avoid mentioning anyone's "Pappy". So, whaddya got against the Irish? kjk Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 So, whaddya got against the Irish? Nothing. I've got problems with kiss-ups from Kalifornia. You wouldn't catch me doing anything of the kind around here. Not once. But I should give you a pass on this day of kissing (my time zone). So go ahead and post all the John Ford and Gary Cooper posters you wish. Although, you have to be running low since you post at least one every single day. Link to post Share on other sites
