Craig Atkinson just sent me over a whole bunch of wicked zines from his wonderful publishing company Café Royal. Included are his books Reward, and Zero Gravity, Café Royal 4, Photodiaries by Paul Paper, Welcome to Prison by Zeroten, and The Shaved Guy by Lin Yi-Hsuan. If you’re into zines Café Royal may give you a heart attack.
I often wake up in the morning to the sound of banging on my front door. When I say “morning” that is self-employed talk for 10:30 AM and when I say “wake up” I mean “continue to sleep”.
The banging is usually Purolator, DHL, or Canada Post trying to deliver a package. Packages often arrive at my door from gracious friends who like to send me things or from people who just believe my friendship can be bought (It can). This time a package came from my good friend, “Amazon”.
I need this book. Translating Hollywood is a new book coming out by Sam Sarowitz. The book focuses on interesting and downright bizarre foreign movie posters for American films. I found this superb Japanese poster for Army of Darkness from the book, over at Posterwire. Only some crazy Japanese person would add those soup cans in there, a pun so bad that it borders on genius.

The Aqua Teen Hunger Force version of the same poster as well as a comparison of the U.S. and Polish versions of a poster for Tootsie after the jump… MORE…
