If you ever wondered about the motivation behind Brad Pitt’s slick, singular look last year on the red carpet at Cannes (and come on, who hasn’t ), then here’s your answer: It was all for his forthcoming crime flick Cogan’s Trade . Click through for the armed, dangerous evidence. I just wish he’d have struck this pose at The Tree of Life premiere. Now that’s a good time. [via Just Jared ]

A collectible poster debut from the boutique art purveyors over at Mondo is always an event, but this Valentine’s Day Mondo and the Alamo Drafthouse have something in store so special it’s almost… inconceivable ! In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Rob Reiner’s 1987 fantasy classic The Princess Bride , the good folks at the Drafthouse have created a line of Princess Bride -themed wines (“The Bottle of Wits”) to coincide with a series of V-Day Princess Bride Quote-Along Feast events and a new illustrated commemorative poster by artist Drew Millward , which goes on sale today. Get the exclusive first look at Millward’s poster design after the jump! [Ed.: According to Mondo the Princess Bride posters have indeed been printed with the incorrect year and will be sold as planned, warts and all. ] Even 25 years after its debut, The Princess Bride , adapted from William Goldman’s book of the same name, has sustained its place among the best-loved American romances and comedies; you’d be hard pressed to find a self-respecting film lover these days who can’t conjure one of countless iconic lines from Reiner’s film. (See Movieline’s account of LACMA and Film Independent’s magical Princess Bride live-read for further evidence.) So it’s kind of perfect that the Drafthouse will host the Princess Bride Quote-Along Feast events this week at its six theaters in Austin and Houston on Feb. 14, in San Antonio on Feb. 15, and in Winchester, Va. on Feb. 16. What better way is there to spend Valentine’s Day than feasting on seared R.O.U.S. (“NY strip rubbed with telecherry peppercorn, mustard seed and espresso roasted medium rare in a pool of port demi, roast enoki mushrooms with mushroom risotto and grilled rapini”) and MLTs (for which “the mutton is shaved paper thin”) and toasting to “Twue Wuv” along with Westley, Buttercup and little Fred Savage? Millward’s whimsical Mondo poster (on sale at the Austin Quote-Along locations, printed in a limited run of 145) brings together the film’s most iconic elements (the six-fingered man! The R.O.U.Ses!) and its central heroes, from Cary Elwes’ The Man in Black to Robin Wright’s Princess Buttercup, the bouffant-coiffed Spaniard Inigo Montoya, Andre the Giant’s gentle Fezzik and Wallace Shawn’s evil Vizzini, who was last seen laughing maniacally while sloshing a goblet of wine. Speaking of wine… Inconceivable Cab and As You Wish White are the two varietals of Princess Bride wine available for order online ($28) at http://princessbridewine.com and at the Drafthouse locations starting today. The pairing of The Princess Bride with its own wine is an inspired concept that came from a brainstorming session by Drafthouse CEO Tim League and Co.: “At the end of last year, we were thinking about ideas to do something really fun with our wine list at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. To solve that challenge, a group of us got together after work, opened a bottle (a time-honored Alamo tradition) and started to brainstorm our favorite movie scenes involving wine. Quickly The Princess Bride rose to the top. The Princess Bride is one of our all-time favorite films. It stands beside The Big Lebowski as a movie that I will ALWAYS watch and thoroughly enjoy revisiting when it comes on TV. The ‘Battle of Wits’ sequence between Cary Elwes and Wallace Shawn easily stands toe-to-toe with ‘the Sideways Spit Bucket’ and ‘The Silence of the Lambs Chianti slurp’ as wine’s shining moment in film. We contacted the rights-holders and proposed a partnership to launch the product at the Alamo, and they were just as excited as we were. We are thrilled with the collectible bottle that Helms Workshop produced for us and think that fans of the movie will love it too. Although we can’t print it on the label because of legal reasons, we also promise each bottle to most likely be iocane free.” Get more info at the Alamo Drafthouse website .

You might have heard that it’s Valentine’s Day, which means romantic ruminations and reflections and perhaps an irresponsible outlay of cash in the humiliating pursuit of way more than a kiss goodnight. You know who you are. For others, it’s a chance to look on at the utter futility of love in all its heart-shattering horror. We know who we are, and it’s time to represent. To wit: Let’s talk about the most pulverizing break-ups in cinema. I’ll just get right to my pick: Cloris Leachman letting Timothy Bottoms have it at the end of The Last Picture Show . No Valentine’s Day is complete without a good, wracking cry, and I now can say I’ve had mine: Mrs. Popper’s classic “Never you mind” does technically open her relationship status with Sonny up to some ambiguity, but “You shouldn’t have come here; I’m around that corner now” pretty much cements the deal for me every single time . I’d also argue it cemented Leachman’s Oscar win for her performance; alas, that’s a conversation for another time. Your emotional mileage may and likely will vary, of course, so let’s hear about it below. Life is too short for love. Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

Nearly a year on from its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, director Tony Kaye’s ensemble drama Detachment is readying to make its debut on VOD and in theaters. This calls for a poster! Movieline’s got your first look at the one-sheet — featuring leading man Adrien Brody and a high school classroom in desperate need of a janitor — after the break. From this site’s Tribeca review : Detachment follows substitute teacher Henry Barthes (Brody) through his extended stay at a Queens high school, a borderline war zone where students would sooner drop a loogie than an apple on an instructor’s desk, and where city administrators openly link plunging property values to plunging test scores. This is where contemporary education has gone to die, slowly and painfully. Henry swims through an ensemble-cast cosmos of lifers Their banter — about a dead colleague here, a popped pill there — keeps them sane and human enough amid the savagery. They’ve all but given up on the kids, defecting to the private sector when the hopelessness of teaching public school finally becomes one humiliation too many. After a while, in fact, Detachment feels as though Kaye is telling a ghost story — a novel, really, with characters and back stories fluttering through magic-hour prisms and saturated nocturnal light, their yelps and groans and pleas and dins and salutations and whispers hand-stitched into narrative breaths, their memories folded into daydreams and pummeled into nightmares, these fluorescent-lit cathedrals of learning dismantled before their inhabitants’ eyes, finally windblown into oblivion. The film demands being taken seriously even as it testifies to its own futility, like the obituary of some household name you loved as a kid. It’s point-blank blame and benediction of teachers themselves, resolving only to leave you wondering how things got so bad while also wondering why no one told you sooner how bad they’d been getting. Resolving, that is, when it’s not suggesting you never listened in the first place and most definitely aren’t listening now. Bam. Also check out Movieline’s interview with Brody about the film; Tribeca Film will uncork Detachment on Feb. 24 via Movies On Demand, iTunes, Amazon Watch Instantly, VUDU and other platforms before opening it theatrically in select cities beginning March 16.

As noted here last week, James Bond has officially joined the Twitter era with the @007 handle. Which is to say: James Bond marketing has officially joined the Twitter era, with the first picture from the first day of filming — the actual first take, ZOMGGG — published this morning. And it’s kind of filthy.

Sometimes directors with certain strengths try to stretch different muscles and you desperately wish they wouldn’t: Woody Allen getting all serious with Interiors comes to mind. But Roland Emmerich, taking a break from cavorting with woolly mammoths and blowing up the world, is onto something with Anonymous , an intricate — if not terribly convincing — historical thriller positing that a minor Elizabethan poet named Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, and not William Shakespeare, wrote all those plays and sonnets that the world loves so well.
