If you happen to be in Aurora, Illinois any time over the next six months, be sure to stop by the pop-up replica of Stan Mikita's Donuts. Feel free to take a selfie in a Wayne or Garth wig at the public library, or check out a replica of the Campbell family basement at the community college. Or maybe just enjoy any of the dozens of contests, events and celebrations the town is hosting in honor of the 25th anniversary of the movie Wayne's World.

The image we've seen most of, to date, is actually a piece of fan art. Then there were some official stills from EW, but now, finally, here's a proper officially sanctioned "international" poster for Carrie, Kimberly Peirce's new version of Stephen King's infamous horror tome. Chloe Moretz is under the blood.Yup, it's a new entry into the big-face-with-writing poster genre. Extreme close-up then, and gore that once again conjures up memories of the climactic scene where Carrie is humiliated at her high-school prom. The marketing for this film so far is very much concentrating on what's familiar about this Carrie, rather then what might separate it from Brian De Palma's. "You will know her name," trumpets the text. Arm yourself because no one else here will save you, the next one will presumably continue.Peirce (Boys Don't Cry) says she has, reasonably enough, gone back to...

We never realized how many movie posters are actually alike.
Apparently, there are only about a baker's dozen's worth of templates when it comes to movie posters. You've most likely seen them all: the Between the Legs Shot; the Lone Armed Figure Viewed From Behind; Two (or More) People in Bed; Extreme Close-Up of a Single Eye...
Sometimes, the movies that share these designs have a lot in common, and sometimes they couldn't be more different. One thing's for sure across the board, though: We could use some new graphic artists with bold new ideas in Hollywood's various marketing teams.
Check out some of the montages below, and see them all (with commentary) at Uproxx.

Back in 2004, Adam McKay and Will Ferrell struck comedy oil when they teamed up to make Anchorman, inspiring a million people to endlessly quote the script and also launching a film-making relationship that would take in the comparatively poor Talladega Nights and the slightly better, if not excellent Step Brothers. Now six years later, the pair have reunited for buddy cop parody The Other Guys, which is available to buy on Blu-ray in the U.K. from January 24th.
Here’s an early review;
The mismatched cop movie is already based on the comic conceit of an odd couple having to pull together, despite their differences, with leads to a lot of situational comedy, which is why Lethal Weapon, 48 Hours, Die Hard With A Vengeance and Stake Out will always be infinitely funnier than Cop Out and The Other Guys. And they don’t all overtly try for laughs. That...

The brand battle for logo exposure on Nascar tracks kicks into fourth gear.
Think the Average Nascar track gets crowded? Check out those paint jobs. There were about 800 different logos festooning America's super-speedsters last season. "Things start to look indistinguishable when they're going 180 miles per hour," says Eric Wright, VP of R&D at media sponsorship expert Joyce Julius & Associates. To measure the impact of each billboard-on-wheels, Jj&A revved up a new system of "recognition grading" for the 2010 season. It uses logo-recognition software and an algorithm that crunches size, clarity, screen time, placement, and clutter to create a media value for the time each brand is displayed. As seen during this year's Daytona 500, companies are jostling hard for position at every turn.

By dumping spell-it-out name recognition in favor of its universally recognizable red-and-white bull's-eye logo, Juan Montoya's Target car (No. 42) telegraphs its presence virtually anywhere on the track.

A little known television score by James Horner, Extreme Close-Up from 1990, is being released on CD by Intrada Records this week. It’s a limited edition of 1500 copies in their ‘Signature Editions’ and features what the label describes as “one of the most restrained and intimate” of James Horner’s career, approached “almost minimalist” with the predominant element being “piano, with a handful of carefully selected synth instruments and subtle, ...

Chicago – Paramount Home Video is unleashing waves of catalog titles this month, starting with an interesting quintet of laugh-fests that range wildly in subject matter and quality.
What do they have in common? Well, three are from the “Saturday Night Live” factory - “Wayne’s World,” “Wayne’s World 2,” and “Black Sheep,” but the other two are not. Those three are also from the ’90s, another tempting way to bunch these random titles together, but “Major League” is an ’80s comedy and “Without a Paddle” is from the ’00s.
Even quality levels seem like an inappropriate way to lump these titles together as even diehard fans couldn’t claim that Chris Farley’s “Black Sheep” or the silly “Paddle” should stand next to “Wayne’s World” or the beloved “Major League”.
Why even try and lump them together? They’re all comedies. They’re all Paramount. Anyone can find at...
