It’s been a while since I wrote up one of those illustration projects where somebody turns famous brands into something else – it’s kind of a played out idea by this point, but Dexter Maurer has breathed new life into the concept with Brand Knight, a series of illustrations that reimagine various brands as the […]

‘IT: FLOAT’ – A VR Experience Based on the Upcoming Horror Movie (Video)
When Dunkirk came out earlier this summer and was accompanied by a “virtual reality experience” to promote the movie, I admit I was skeptical about the tastefulness of such an enterprise, given the subject matter of the film.

Armando Iannucci is known for his political satires like Veep, In the Loop and The Thick of It, and his latest project appears to be of a piece with those works. One difference, though: The Death of Stalin is set in the Soviet Union in the early 60s, in the period immediately after the death of […]
