    Looking at film interpretations of the stories in the Bible - past, present and future, as well as preparation for a future work on Straub/Huillet's Moses und Aron and a few bits and pieces on biblical studies.

    Empire's Bible Poster Mash-Ups

    I don't subscribe to many film-news emails, but one I read every week is the one from Empire - as much because of its peripheral items as its main features. One such item is the weekly poster mash-up. Empire gives a theme, and then readers alter famous film posters to fit the theme. Empire themselves describe the mash-ups as follows:
    We asked our readers to mash up classic film posters and a given theme, and they answered in droves.
    See the best of the best here: you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be appalled at the punning...
    Anyway, last week's competition was on the Bible, and there are a number of good entries including the one above. Personally I think some of the weaker entries are those at the start, so I'd recommend carrying on until the end. There are also a few more entries in the Empire forum including my personal favourite shown below. I should warn readers that some of you may be offended by some of these. Hopefully, though, most of you will enjoy them as much as I did.
