For you Londoners, today's Metro, pages 20-21.

I can spot:
Superman
The Commitments
Arlington Road
Withnail and I
The Italian Job
Taxi Driver
A Clockwork Orange
If...
North by Northwest
Magnolia
Ghostbusters
(?)

I don't have a scanner, but obviously it would be easier for those not within the M25 if someone could scan it in...

we have this in our magazine this week: a colleague and i spent a happy ten minutes on it the other week.

what's the chicken, what's the "i like myself" graffiti, and what's going on in the window at the very top right?

we think the "woman" at the next window is a psycho reference; and is the VW beetle herbie?

thecracked ground could be ghostbusters, godzilla, anything ... is the chicken related to it?

I think "I Like Myself" is from Safe. Creepy ending. It wasn't graffiti, though, whereas everything else referenced actually is more or less cut and pasted from their respective films...so maybe I'm wrong.

Scan plz, or linky.

i'm toying with the idea of actually trying to take the page PDFs and put them on a website, but they're [checks] six megs each. hmm, bugger.

i imagine this ad is gonna be everywhere over the next couple of weeks, though. it's in our mag (a newspaper supplement) this saturday and next saturday, so i'm sure you'll be sick of it before very long.

You think I buy the Herald?

surely you get several copies sent down specially?

you do now, heheheh.

seriously: if we're carrying it, then i can guarantee the guardian/indie/times etc will all have it too.

That famous reference-heavy classic Arlington Road?

there's a new one! (we're publishing it on saturday july 2). it's on a beach, and it's much, much harder. i can get seven, maybe eight (the titanic one is genius), but there are loads more with which i'm utterly lost.

i now have 11.

there are many, many more, though.

there's a stella screen website here but it doesn't seem to have the adverts up on it. knobs: they're missing a trick there. mind, i haven't looked very hard.
