Happy Stranger Things day! Today is November 6th, the day Will Byers went missing in the show’s first season and a good opportunity for me to head back into the upside-down. A few years ago, I had published a really extensive collection of tribute covers for the first two seasons, mainly based on movies from the 80s. After weeks and weeks of creative labor I thought that I was more or less done with Stranger Things. I’ve made just too many covers back then and there were not enough 80s cult hits left for me to tackle. But when I…

There are days when I feel like Kill Bill was the absolute best Quentin Tarantino has ever been. It’s been sitting super high on my personal Tarantino shortlist for a long time and there are indeed a lot of highlights to be found in these films. Overall it’s a tremendously enjoyable pop culture round trip. A true 60s and 70s blaxploitation galore with QT behind the lens in full force and effect. And it for sure stands as a staple in Quentin Tarantino’s career as being a distinctive turning point from rather realistic auteur films to sprawling cinephile extravaganzas. Virtually…

Inever thought I’d take a stab at this score, but it’s just so good (even the songs!), and the version of the official cover I had been using so far, was just a bit dull in terms of colours and vibrancy. That’s why I recently looked for a few high-resolution source images, enhanced some of them with Adobe’s AI tool and created a few variants. For #1, I based it on the vinyl sleeve of the Walmart exclusive “Ocean Blue” and “Clear” variant, which uses the same image as the official soundtrack CD, but ever so slightly tilted to the…

Christopher Nolan, renowned for his high-concept and visually captivating films, continues to push the boundaries of cinematic storytelling with his latest effort Oppenheimer, a film about the life and work of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American physicist who played a pivotal role in the development of the atomic bomb. Beyond a mere biographical exploration, Nolan examines profound themes of ambition, moral dilemmas, and the far-reaching consequences of scientific advancements. His penchant for nonlinear storytelling allows him to explore Oppenheimer’s inner turmoil, his intellectual brilliance, and the weight of responsibility he carried as the “father of the atomic bomb”. This multi-dimensional…

I don’t really have an awful lot to say about this blog post or its custom covers. And I also don’t feel like adding my opinion on the Avatar movies to the thousands of reviews and essays already out there. So instead I thought I’d just share some random trivia that I’ve picked up over the last few days while researching James Cameron and his filmography. Welcome to watchmojo dot com, I’m heidl and here are ten incredible facts you didn’t know about director mastermind James Cameron. (No.6 will make you cry!) ALIEN$ This is a rather popular story, but…
