They're Remaking Arthur. Hmm...


Arthur, the classic 80's comedy with the late, greats Sir Dudley Moore and Sir John Gielgud, is being remade by Warner Bros. Instead of Moore playing a drunk, it's Russel Brand playing an idiot. In place of Gielgud, it's Helen Mirren - actually, I quite like her. Now, this is one of my all-time favourite films. Everything about the original is basically perfect. So I really want to hate this remake, but maybe, just maybe, it'll be funny. Still not sure why it has to be remade at all... oh, right. Money. Of course. Hollywood, you're a slutty bastard. Thank you. 

Levi's Goes Waterless. Hmm...

Hmm... Of The Day

They say love gives you a funny feeling in your stomach. Good thing this has just come out. See, it appears that not everyone in the UK is looking forward to the upcoming nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton. So much so, Lydia Leith, an illustrator over there, has brought out un-official souvenir sick bags to mark the occasion. They're available from her website at £3 each. Sick!

Typography Brings To Life Four Great Cities. Hmm...









Commissioned by language-teaching company EF, these super rad promos use kinetic typography to capture the pure beauty of speaking mother tongues in Paris, London, Beijing, and Barcelona. Created by cinematographer Niklas Johansson, and type guru Albin Holmqvist.

Museum In Ruins. Hmm...


The Museum of Contemporary Arts of Elvas (MACE) has invited several artists to take part on the exhibition “Museum in ruins.” Vhils and ±MaisMenos are two of the selected artists to be part of the collection. This is their work. Pretty flippen rad!

KLM's Personal Space Experiment. Hmm...

Get Your Best Picture Oscar Posters Here. Hmm...

Hit the jump to see his colorful yet minimalistic creations for Black Swan, The Social Network, The King’s Speech, True Grit, and The Fighter. Walton is also selling a limited edition run of 100 prints of every poster, individually signed and numbered.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - The Board Game. Hmm...



































If you’ve ever dreamed of stealing a Ferrari, going to a Cubs game, an art museum and singing in a parade all from the comfort of your own home, artist Max Dalton has made it possible. He created The Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Board Game to be included in the upcoming Gallery 1988 showThe Road to Shermer: A Tribute to John Hughes, which opens February 11 at their new Venice, CA location. The original version comes with dice, playing pieces and rules but there will also be a limited amount of prints available at the show. That said, if anyone in LA is reading this... SEND ME ONE, PLEASE!!!!!
