Each week this year (except several of them) I have ranted about something in show bi-ness that irks me. Today I am compelled to rave. About what you ask? The answer: Awesome Marketing. Case in point is the Black Snake Moan billboard campaign. If you live in L.A. you know what I'm talking about. I've yet to see a trailer for Craig Brewer's  (Hustle & Flow) sophomore effort, but I don't have to. Just take a gander at this here poster which bears the same image as the billboards.

Now, all you hetero men out there please take a moment to wipe the drool offf your keyboard and answer these questions: Is this not one of the hottest promos you have seen in the history of movie-dom? Is it wrong that I'm so turned on by a woman in chains? Who is Christina Ricci seeing these days? Is she married? Where does she live? And does Sam Jackson only make movies now with "Snake" in the title?

Stay tuned next weekend when Moan opens- I'll have a full report.

Damn- those Confederate girls are fine.
