Since 2022 seems to have affected my enjoyment of all artistic mediums equally, I will refrain from declaring that it’s been a lackluster year for quantity when it comes to great work in film posters. I simply haven’t loved that much of anything this year—posters, film, music, etc.
While it stinks in terms of feeling good on the day-to-day by what I’m consuming, it’s made shoring up end-of-year lists pretty easy. Maybe not in terms of setting an order of things, but definitely in singling out which ones I need to organize.
I even considered making this list a Top 30 instead of a Top 25 since I only really had 31 posters on my final shortlist, but leaving six off is much less anxiety-inducing than one. In the end, all of those that made the cut are superb. Pretending this specific order isn’t arbitrary is just plain narcissism.

Tyra Banks wasted no time in schooling this Cycle's contestants for the harsh world of modeling in the "America's Next Top Model" Cycle 16 premiere.
The "smizing" queen decided to skip the casting special altogether. Why? Because she can. Of course, that was just a show of her power. The show of her crazy really comes in when she decides to not only impersonate Ashton Kutcher (achieved by simply putting a trucker hat on - we must remember that for Halloween) and punking the girls into thinking they didn't make it. We do have to give the TyTy credit for throwing the girls' bags in a pile on the floor. Nice touch.
If you feel that was mean, what about the girls who were initially told they made it only to have Mr. and Miss J. walk them out to the backyard and tell them not to let the gate hit...

Jim Carrey has snagged himself a "Top Model" wannabe. The funnyman, who has split from longtime girlfriend Jenny McCarthy last year, has been seen holding hands with Anchal Joseph, an "America's Next Top Model" cycle 7 contestant who is 25 years his junior.
49-year-old Carrey and Joseph were spotted leaving the Broadway show "Time Stands Still" together in New York Wednesday night. This is the first time Carrey has been seen with another woman since his split from McCarthy in April.
Joseph is familiar to "Antm" fans. She competed at the Tyra Banks-led show during the seventh season, but she was eliminated during the seventh week. And at only 24, she is just one year older than Carrey's daughter Jane Erin.
Meanwhile, McCarthy has also found a new love. She's dating Paul Krepelka, a Boston sports agent she met on a blind date.

Omigod you guys! Antm is back for its 14th (!) cycle, and despite my inherent skepticism about the whole enterprise, if the premiere is anything to go on, we're in for a pretty decent ride. You know, if you like your rides bony, marginally unstable, and full of outrageous platitudes. And I think you do! The 90-minute episode included two rounds of casting, plus makeovers, fights, and a teaser about next week's challenge. Ye gods, producers: Pace yourselves. Grab your heels, and hang on to yer drama, cause here...we...go... The opening retrospective tragically included scenes from the first majestic season,...

It's the dawn of a new era, Model fans, not just an era of petite-ness, though for the record, previous winner Eva is only 5'6 and change, but an era of -- dare I write it? -- lucidity, credibility or seeming relevance? It was Bloody Eyeball versus the Bull Castrator, and to the episode's credit, it had me believing there was almost a credible contest. But we all knew what would happen tonight, and the best part was that it actually did. Most of the time, the finale of Antm has three women pitted against one another, and surely that...

America's Next Top Model contestant Jennifer An has thanked Tyra Banks for giving petite models the opportunity to appear on the show. The 23-year-old from Philadelphia, who was eliminated from the CW contest alongside Erin Wagner last night, was one of 14 girls under 5ft 7in competing in this season. "Tyra is exactly how she seems - goofy, funny, down to earth," she explained to Digital Spy. "She's like an older sister who wants to help and motivate you.

What happens during the finale of "America's Next Top Model" next week has been previewed by The CW. The final two of cycle 13, Laura Kirkpatrick and Nicole Fox, will have to battle wind and rain when the two elements are brought to the runway. They will also have to be able to pull the final CoverGirl commercial in Hawaii.
Laura and Nicole beat Jennifer An and Erin Wagner during this week's episode when their photo shots in Hawaii were graded well by the judges. One of them will not only be crowned as the winner of cycle 13 but also the first petite model because the show has particularly cast models 5'7" and shorter.
The finale airs on November 18 at 8/7c and right after that a recap of the whole season will be aired. Eddie Murphy is a guest at the final runway show.

The 18-year-old from Wisconsin was eliminated from the show alongside Jennifer An last night, leaving Laura Kirkpatrick and Nicole Fox to vye for the prize. Speaking to Digital Spy, she said: "I think they could both totally take it - at this point it's a pretty close race.

Oops. Did we speak to soon? The identity of the newest Top Model won't be announced publicly until next week's finale, but based on what we've learned from our eliminee interrogations today, we have all but certified that Nicole will be victorious. Ever since the premiere of this season of America's Next Top Model, every sign has pointed to a Nicole victory—and when we spoke to eliminated model Jennifer this morning, she tacitly confirmed that Bloody Eyeball will be the show's 13th winner.

Compared to previous cycles, this season of America's Next Top Model was relatively smooth-sailing in the drama department. It was never boring, of course, but who doesn't love watching a good model cat-fight unfold? Nobody, that's who.
For what little social excitement that came across our screens this cycle, we have contestant Erin Wagner, 18, at least partially to thank. Her wisecracking and brutally honest assessments of fellow models and the show's challenges may have rubbed some the wrong way, but her many stellar photos from throughout the competition showed that she had the modeling talent to back up the attitude. She made it to the final four, after all!
And, as we know about reality TV, not everything is always as it seems.
In other words, as Erin told me this morning: "I'm not a bitch!"

Dudes. If this wasn't straight-up the worst episode of Top Model ever, I don't know what was. Really and truly: I think this was rock bottom. Which is maybe good, because that means next week (and next cycle, I guess? hope?) will have to be better, and that gives us all something to look forward to. But for now, we'll have to do the difficult -- the nearly unthinkable, really -- and look back, back, back into the bleak abyss that was this week's episode. I call it H-to-b recapping: head to barf. On the way back from last week's elimination,...

(S13E10) America's Next Top Model continues to chug along with its petite models. At this point, the girls are pigeon holed into their story lines: Nicole - the awkward one, Laura - the southern belle, Erin - the prissy high schooler, and Jen - the sweet girl with an eye problem. They basically repeat something that fits their storyline.
Though I haven't mentioned this until now, what is up with Jen having these overly loud, sugary interviews? Screaming "Why Me?" followed by her squealing excitement for Laura picking her. It's almost as if she knows that she was stunt-cast and decided to have a fun time before she got eliminated.

And then there were two. "America's Next Top Model" cycle 13 has wilted down the number of contestants from four straight to two this week, something which the show hasn't done since cycle 4. "tonite's top model,2 girls eliminated.1st time just 2 finalists n final episode! shocker to the girls.u gotta see it! ws hard2 choose," host Tyra Banks wrote on Twitter before the show went on air Wednesday, November 11.
Eliminated in the tenth week are Jennifer An and Erin Wagner. Their photo shots as Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes, were not enough to impress the judges. Miss J said that Jennifer's was stiff while Nigel Barker said it wasn't her best. On the other hand Erin was actually praised for her portrayal of Pele with Nigel saying it was gorgeous and sexy.
The girls who enter the final round thus are Laura Kirkpatrick and Nicole Fox. Nigel said Laura...

It's the penultimate episode of America's Next Top Model cycle 13, and the final four will model for their lives tonight, after an all-important competition to see who can dance "Hawaiian hip hop" the best. Did I say "all-important"? I meant none-important. What Is important is that Two models will be eliminated tonight, and their fates will be at least partially decided by their performances in tonight's photo shoot, in which they must "channel Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes."
We already have the final photos from tonight's shoot, so if you're in the mood for a little spoiler while you watch, check them out! Plus: I've got a video of each girl's runway walks so far this cycle, and a pre-episode interview with Erin where she hints, among other things, that she's "not one to take rejection lying down." Don't say I never gave you anything.

It's a little odd that America's Next Top Model cycle 13 contestant Erin Wagner is giving interviews the day of what I can only assume will be her final episode in the competition. I say that because there are four models left, and I can think of three left who have not been on the chopping block three times in a row, and those three are also not Erin.
But Erin's an Illinois native, so it makes sense that the Chicago Sun-Times would get the first crack at asking the 18-year-old student about her "most scandalous moments" on this otherwise fairly scandal-free season of Antm. Despite the outcome of tonight's episode (which could surprise us, given the questionable quality of tonight's final photos And Tyra's penchant for pulling those fast ones on us) or your opinion of Erin, you've got to admit: she's been keeping it interesting!

Model citizens, we are down to the top five. Shouldn't that mean some action, some excitement, some drama? All we got this week was some mention of asthma -- no attack or anything -- and some low-level griping. Maybe I should be relieved that for once, Top Model isn't creating fake problems or blowing minor disputes out of proportion, but instead, I'm just...oh, sorry, I drifted off there for a second. Let's jump off a cliff! No, really, let's. In the car back from elimination, Erin's pale hair and lack of eyebrows seriously made her look like the Crypt Keeper,...

Tonight on America's Next Top Model: The final five models learn the basics of bikini posing from supermodel Marisa Miller, and then use none of those lessons in a cliff-jumping photo shoot challenge. Finally, to complete their metamorphosis from land- to sea-dwellers, Laura, Nicole, Sundai, Erin and Jennifer try for their best mermaid pose in an underwater photo shoot.
But before we get to that, let's take a look back: remember how Erin was in the bottom two for two weeks in a row during elimination? And how each week the judges expressed their faith in her, even though the girl she was up against consistently posted better photos and had a better attitude during the competition?
Yeah. That's not about to end anytime soon.
But Erin tries her best to look on her version of the bright side, taking her two strikes as a sign that the judges have faith in her,...

We're coming down to the wire on this cycle of America's Next Top Model: Short Makeover Edition. We've seen eight photo shoots so far in cycle 13, and just as many challenges meant to test the five remaining under-5'7'' models on their poise, beauty, random skills, and (oh yeah!) modeling talent. So, now that only Jennifer, Nicole, Laura, Erin and Sundai remain, I ask you, O patient and discerning Antm fans:
Who will be eliminated--and who should be eliminated--before the Final 2 face off in the Antm finale two weeks from now?
It's a simple, two-part question, really. But that doesn't mean the answer is. Especially when we've got Tyra calling the shots.
So, as you prepare to watch tonight's episode, "Dive Deeper," or you're here after the episode to react to the latest elimination, check out the final photos once again, assess each girl's strengths and weaknesses, and...

(S13E08) I don't know how America's Next Top Model's photoshoots continue to grow more and more insane. This week, Tyra decided to turn the model hopefuls bi-racial. Surprisingly, the photos didn't turn out bad, just not model-like.
You know it's never good when a boring character gets a character. The mathematician Brittany caught the bitch bug and complained about how immature Erin was for the rest of the episode. Guess what happened at the end of the episode? I would rather have gotten the "fading away" edit that Tyra loves so much.

(S13E07) I love watching episodes of America's Next Top Model where contestants think they are amazing and crash and burn by the end of the show. This week, the challenge for the would-be models was the dreaded CoverGirl commercial.
The past few episodes have really become "Let's root for dorky Nicole, dyslexic Laura, and droopy-eyed Jennifer." They don't get bitch edits and even Rae finally realized how cool Nicole's dork-chic can actually be. Sundai and Erin complain about everything, while Brittany and Rae are forgettable. Since all three are favorites, I doubt that Tyra will pick them to win.

This week's instalment opens with the remaining girls reflecting on the departure of Lulu and their individual places in the competition. A mourning Ashley suggests Lulu was the only person in the house that "really understood" her, while Erin admits that she was happy Brittany ended up in the bottom two. "She has won a million challenges, look how the mighty have fallen," she says. "Now she knows where she stands." Elsewhere, Bianca suggests that the last panel was a "triumph" because she avoided the bottom two and managed to lose the harshness in her face which means she is learning and that is progress. The first Tyra Mail of the week reveals that the girls are going to have a personal make-up lesson with Sam Fine, who teaches them the importance of knowing how to do their own face. He insists that they only need four key products: concealer,...

Last night on America's Next Top Model, a show normally entrenched in mind-numbingly irrelevant issues like "to bleach or not bleach my eyebrows," a rare moment of true moral dilemma graced our screens in an unexpected place (Wal-Mart), during an unexpected challenge for 90-pound humans (a cut-throat relay race through that Wal-Mart).
During said race, Aryan Erin (she's been bleached to the moon, you see) let her inner line-backer come out and play, pushing and shoving and bruising the competition on her way to the Covergirl aisle. Then she proceeded to bruise their feelings too, purposely sabotaging another girl's chance of winning by hiding her golden ticket (her go-see photo), keeping her from crossing the finish line in time.
"Races don't have manners," Erin reasoned later.
Beyond the most obvious question about this situation (That would be, "What does a relay in Wal-Mart have to do with modeling?") another quandary presented itself last night.

Helloooo, model behaviorists! I missed you guys last week, so I thought maybe the Antm gods (demons) would reward me with a doubly-good episode, but, uh, guess not. Instead, we faced their wrath with the oddly dull, lifeless episode that was too busy product-placing itself to death to bother being interesting. I wanted to really learn -- once and for all! -- how to make a damn smokey eye. This and other unmet needs ahead! I spent the first 10 minutes or so trying to figure out who Kara looks like or reminds me of, and it's driving me insane. It's not quite Paulina Porizkova (almost?...

This week was all about standing tall, on the runway and in front of the camera. The girls faced their runway challenge with pride, even after learning they would have to walk with giraffe models. Sundai especially surprised me with her confident take-no-sh*t expression. Overall, they succeeded: no one fell, and everyone worked it, though Ashley didn't have as much attitude as I hoped, and Erin needs a lesson walking in heels. Not all made the cut according to Miss J and the editor of Seventeen, Ann Shocket. Ann chose Brittany as having the best walk,...
