I don't give a fuck about your war... or your president

While I escape the winter blues by heading up to the Northern Hemisphere for a week, I'll leave you with this A-number 1 new poster for Escape from New York by Kilian Eng. Lots of cool easter eggs hidden in the graffiti, but the glow-in-the-dark layer takes it to the next level.

Robin Hardy

The director of The Wicker Man has died, aged 86. Despite the fact that he only has a tiny handful of filmmaking credits to his name, Hardy will be remembered as the director of one of the most unique, unsettling and powerful horror movies ever made. In a genre known for recycling ideas until they wear out, The Wicker Man is unlike any film made before or since.

STERILE MIND

OK, enough with the mellow stuff. Oakland's Sterile Mind features Robert Collins on bass (Artimus Pyle, No Statik, Ritual Control), so you pretty much know exactly what to expect. Pummeling, no-nonsense hardcore. Mutant vocal rage. Maximum velocity. Sore neck. Melted face. Just the usual.
