Poster for Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris Finally Adds Owen Wilson to a Van Gogh Painting
It seems like the city of Paris would offer enough picturesque imagery to draw from when designing the poster for a Woody Allen film shot in the city of light. And that's to say nothing of the art the city inspired. Instead though, we get a little bit of the Seine, an obnoxious shout-out to a Vincent van Gogh painting of a village in the south of France and Owen Wilson donning an "Aw shucks" look. I don't get it. But then again, I would have been happy with a giant image of Carla Bruni carrying a baguette.

I prefer Van Gogh's earlier, funnier paintings.
Don't forget Everybody Says I Love You's brief trip to Paris, especially the last scene where Goldie Hawn and Woody Allen dance by the Seine!
My girlfriend is furious at me for forgetting this too. She loves that movie. There was a thirty film Woody Allen retrospective recently in Paris (where I live) and they literally showed every movie except that one. I forgot it existed!
Anyway, I fixed it.
If it's any consolation, I had the same fleeting thought this morning, but then I thought "Nah, they went to Venice, not Paris..."
