As we speak, movie theater chains across the country are debating whether or not teenagers should be allowed to text during movies, and if that doesn’t make you weep for the future, nothing will. But before you start bawling into that handful of Kleenex, be aware that some hope remains: deep in the heart of Texas, Tim League’s Alamo Drafthouse continues to enforce a strict no talking/no texting policy…and now they’ve enlisted Reservoir Dogs’ Michael Madsen to help spread the good word. Wanna see the world premiere of Madsen’s new anti-texting PSA for the Alamo Drafthouse? It’s after the jump, folks.

We love us some minimalist movie posters here at Collider. I dig them because like the t-shirts from Last Exit to Nowhere, you can only appreciate them if you’ve seen the movie. There’s also the simple artistic style that boils a movie down to one iconic image and then finds the right color to compliment it.
Artist Grischa Stanjek has done just that with ten movie posters you can check out after the jump (I particularly like the poster for Once Upon a Time in the West)

More homes would have movie posters on their walls if studios made them as eye-catching as what artist Ibraheem Youssef has done with the films of Quentin Tarantino. They remind me of the “I Can Read Movies” series with their minimal designs that cause fans to grin and make the uninitiated want to get in on the joke. I’ve seen all of Tarantino’s movies, but I can’t seem to grasp the reference Youssef’s making for Inglourious Basterds even though I’ve seen that movie twice and recently. Help me out in our comments section.
Check out all the posters after the jump. You can purchase them as 12×18 prints or 24×36 posters at shop.ibraheemyoussef.com. All prints and posters are limited editions, hand-signed, and numbered.
