Posterwire.com is a movie poster weblog. From images of the latest Hollywood one-sheets to vintage movie posters, this film poster weblog hopes to offer a bit of insight into film key art.
Matthew Baldwin of the weblog Defective Yeti was a guest on the July 11th episode of the KUOW (the Seattle NPR affiliate) radio program The Works, talking about movie related weblogs. (You can listen to the show via an MP3 stream or Podcast.).
Matthew was kind enough to mention Posterwire.com as one of his favorite movie weblogs, which we certainly appreciate. We would also like to echo his pick of GreenCine Daily, a great film related weblog.
We have been tweaking the look and the layout of the web site just a bit. Moving ads around, chasing “browser bugs” and what not. (If you see any site problems or browser bugs, drop us a comment in this weblog entry. Bottom line: Internet Explorer is not your friend. This weblog looks best in Firefox.) We have also added a few site banners and updated the Posterwire.com logo in the site’s mastehead at the top of the page — although the depiction of Rick Deckard from the original Blade Runner poster (as illustrated by one of our favorite movie poster artists, John Alvin) is still featured.
Speaking of updates, since we sometimes get requests to advertise on this site, we also thought we would try experimenting with blog ads to help support the site. Hosting all those large high resolution images of movie posters costs money. So if you’d like to promote your site, project, or other content that you think is appropriate to our readers, please consider running an ad on Posterwire. Don’t worry, this ad pitch doesn’t change our policy of welcoming any email with link suggestions, story ideas, questions, comments, criticisms, and so on. If you would like to get in touch, drop us a line by using the Contact: Email link at the bottom of any page on the site.
The annual 2006 Weblog Awards (the “Bloggies”) have opened up for blog nominations by the public. Since every other weblog likes to mention this fact, we thought we’d beg for vote nominations too. ;) So if you’ve enjoyed all the pithy commentary about gay cowboys, mentions of “Big Heads Floating the Sky”, high resolution movie poster images, and other film ad industry information, we’d certainly appreciate nominations for Posterwire.com in any of the Weblog Awards categories. (We’d probably be most appropriate in the Best Topical Weblog and Best New Weblog categories.) Regardless of how you feel about our vote whoring, stop by the awards site to vote for your favorite weblogs in a wide range of categories.
Unfortunately, we are in the middle of a move which will affect our regular schedule of weblog postings for the next few weeks. Meanwhile, head on over to Latino Review to see a round-up of new teaser movie poster one-sheets, including for the film Basic Instinct 2 (?).
Welcome to Posterwire.com! I created this movie poster weblog to host movie poster images, news, and other film poster related information that may (or may not) be useful. Whether you are interested in being a movie poster designer or looking to buy the latest one-sheets, you have come to the right place. At the very least this blog can serve as a starting point for other movie sites from around the web.
