Let me just say that I could not be happier for Mama Erin and Papa Erin (sorry, don't remember your husband's name right now) and their new babe-to-be. He is sure to be adorable, full of style, spunk and have a fantastic sense of humor from the get-go, and that is just from his Mom, I'm sure his dad is pretty rockin' too. As the mama of two young boys I can tell you firsthand, having a son is awesome, and you will know this very soon - congratulations! A call was put out by Karly and Erin for guest bloggers to help out while Erin is busy oohing and ahhing over the new tiny man in her life and I, The Claw, answered that call without reservation. Let me first say, I am endlessly entertained by Design Crisis and by Erin and Karly's abilities to post quality and quantity. Please, Erin, once you have your son, post shorter, less awesome posts, or I will feel even more inadequate as a parent and blogger.

So I don't know what my blog is about, and I know very little about interior design except for what I like. But, I know a lot about rock and roll and movies. Erin and I discussed that I might do set design for a topic for my guest post, but I think I would be too overwhelmed. I immediately thought of her awesome space capsule/Kubrick post and how I could bookend that with a Clockwork Orange set design post, but alas, not enough of the images I wanted easy to find on the web and I'm sort of lazy (read: just thinking of all that scanning of my Kubrick book made me yawn). Check out that book though, if you are a Kubrick fan, it's pretty fantastic.

Soooo...hey - Movie posters as art is a good idea! Provided you pick the right poster. One that no one has heard of is great, or better yet, one that people had heard of, but choose the foreign version of the poster and it is sure to be way cooler.

We've done just that in our home with a few Cuban movie posters. We have these two and a few others and I dig 'em. I don't know what the movies are, but I like these guys. Don't think we are too arty, we also have this movie poster in our house. It is, in fact, the first thing you see if you enter our house from the side door. Welcome, and pay no attention to the exploding Winnebago.

I found this Spanish Truffaut poster for his film, Stolen Kisses and I may have to buy it, I love it so. Here are just a few more foreign film movie posters I found and loved...

Once Upon A Time In The West- in Italian, I beleive - great movie, soundtrack and great poster.

A movie you love doesn't necessarily have the poster you love, here is one of my favorite (among many) films, An Angel at My Table, directed by Jane Campion. Wonderful film, okay poster, Even in French it isn't making me want to hang this on up.
