A neon poster for HELP!
The semaphore actually spells NUJV! According to cover photographer Robert Freeman, “I had the idea of semaphore spelling out the letters HELP, but when we came to do the shot the arrangement of arms with those letters didn’t look good, so we decided to improvise and ended up with the best graphic positioning of the arms.”

Happy Independence Day! Here’s a neon poster for Captain America.
This is similar to my previous Batman neon sign - the villian appropriating the hero’s logo - http://mrwhaite.tumblr.com/post/6490963767/neonbatman

It’s the Wimbledon finals this weekend, so I thought this would be a suitable neon poster to mark the occasion. It’s the creepy scene from Strangers on a Train where Guy Haines (Farley Granger) is being stalked by Robert Walker’s murderous Bruno.
At a tennis match the crowd watch the ball play back and forth while Bruno remains motionless, staring menacingly across the court at Guy.
A classic Hitchcock moment - can you spot him in the crowd?

Another Jack for my pack of movie themed playing cards - ’walking meat loaf’ Jack from An American Werewolf in London.
I didn’t mean to call you a meat loaf, Jack.

Simon Pegg - a portrait combining props and costumes from:
Shaun of the Dead (Shaun) beard, cricket bat & tie-bandana
Hot Fuzz (Nicholas Angel) shades, guns & ammo
Star Trek (Scotty) shirt & badge
Run Fatboy Run (Dennis) shorts & trainers
Burke and Hare (William Burke) sideburns
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (Inspector Thompson) bowler hat
Simon Pegg is one of the UK’s most successful exports, effortlessly juggling action and comedy roles. In this portrait, the guns and Trek shirt convey his love for cool/geeky American pop culture, whilst the bowler hat and cricket bat maintain his quintessential Britishness. The lack of trousers just make him look silly.

Movie tie-in games are commonplace these days, but back in the early ’80s when video games were still in their infancy, they were few and far between.
On 22nd May 1980, Pac-man was launched - the next day, Kubrick’s The Shining was released. Both contain mazes, ghosts and chasing. If Warner Brothers had licensed Midway to make a movie tie-in game at the time, the advert may have looked like this…
