The Big Lebowski (1998) - (Jeff Bridges) US DS one-sheet

This is a double-sided US poster designed by New Wave Creative for the 1998 classic comedy The Big Lebowski written and directed by the Cohen Brothers and starring Jeff Bridges as The Dude. Plot summary: The Dude is a member of the Lebowski family who is mistaken for "The Big Lebowski," [David Huddleston] another wealthy Lebowski family member, and attacked by two thugs trying to collect a debt. One of the thugs urinates on his rug and The Dude thinks his wealthy relative should pay for the damage. The connection is illogical, but so are most of the movie's other narrative links. This teaches us, just in case we did not already know, that a watertight story line is not necessary to make a good movie.

Cast and crew: Joel Cohen, Ethan Cohen, Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tara Reid, Philip Moon, Mark Pellegrino, Peter Stormare, Flea, Torsten Voges, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Jack Kehler, John Turturro

The Yin and Yang of Mr. Go (1970) - (James Mason) Egyptian one-sheet

The Yin and Yang of Mr. Go (1970) - (James Mason) Egyptian one-sheet poster

I get a lot of ideas what films to watch from these old Egyptian posters. This film (AKA The Third Eye) can still be had on DVD at very cheap prices because it seems to be considered virtually worthless by the people who have it for sale. There are some interesting things. It was the acting debut for Jeff Bridges and the first and only directing attempt by Burgess Meredith. The combination of extreme badness in plot, music and direction plus an outstanding cast (also including Broderick Crawford and James Mason) inspired over 20 people to write reviews of it on IMDB. The premise is that there is a living Buddha out there somewhere (the Buddha is also the film's narrator) who decides to enlighten the evil Mr. Go (played by James Mason) with a beam of light from his belly. This benevolent act is something the Buddha is able to do once every 50 years in the 5th month. Once this has been done, the evil Mr. Go is infused with the virtues of enlightenment and decides to make available to suffering humanity a miracle laser beam that neutralizes all nuclear weapons and makes nuclear war impossible! The poster art was by Ahmed Fouad, printing by Anwar printers.

Cast and crew: Burgess Meredith, James Mason, Jack MacGowan, Irene Tsu, Jeff Bridges, Peter Lind Hayes, Clarissa Kaye-Mason, Alvin Osteroff, Gigo Tevzadze, King Hu, Broderick Crawford, Jay Adler, June Sampson, Robert Cabot, Live Lindeland
