If you happen to be in the New York area, you owe it to yourself to jump on the R or 6 trains- (or in that town car that's been idling outside your co-op, if that's your demographic) and visit Posteritati Movie Posters on Centre Street, which will be featuring an exhibition titled "Queer as Film: Classic Gay and Lesbian Movie Posters" through April 30. The collection of original lobby art features classic and contemporary queer film titles from around world, from the original woozy acid-tinged romanticism of "Pink Narcissus"" to the detached cool that advertised "Mysterious Skin". For those of you who don't live in the five boroughs (or are just too lazy for the hike to Chinatown), Proceed at Your Own Risk offers scans of more than a dozen images. Think of it this way: how else are you ever going to get a chance to get this close to Brad Davis' bulge? -RM
