We call them Comix.
You’ve seen them in most of our reviews where we take the studios’ standard garden-variety publicity stills and armed only with an iMac, some Comic Life Magiq software and a serious authority issue, we present them in a way that you can’t get anywhere else. Namely, we take those characters and we put words in their mouths. And really, who doesn’t harbor a secret desire to take famous actors and make them say whatever you want?
Anyway, here’s our complete collection of work from the Academy Award Best Picture nominations. Be warned. We haven’t treated the films with the special reverence that the Academy traditionally serves up. And, because we’re basically film contrarians, we present them in reverse-alphabetical order. So there…
