Fall movie preview: Subway platform ads

Y'all there is something about the ads on subway platforms that I am kind of obsessed with. While you are waiting for your train to arrive you are sort of forced to stare at these posters over and over again, and you can see the details better than when you drive by a billboard on the interstate. There is even an art to defacing these posters, with some people having a special knack for peeling off parts of posters beneath the current one to reveal new (though unintentional) messages.

This poster for The Town is creepy yet intriguing. I think the first time I saw it I gasped a little. The cast looks very interesting as well. I will be curious how Jon Hamm does in a non Don Draper role. 

Well someone has scratched poor Jesse Eisenberg's eyes out on this one and given him red eyeliner, but like the trailer, I think this ad is just brilliant. If you haven't seen the trailer, it features a great version of Creep, sung by some kind of boys choir or something. Director David Fincher may have knocked this one out of the park. I tend to heart everything he does.

I am still shaking my fists at the heaven's that I wasn't able to work a day on this glorious production (I blame my lack of period haircut) which was shot all locally and seemingly took five years to shoot (I think it was more like a little over a year, a long time for one season of tv). I can only imagine what the budget was on this little piece of prohibition era eye candy. Let's cross our fingers for a second season and longer hair for me.
