So it seems they decided to make a new poster for Dark Shadows: Still not good.

These ones?   Mmm...maybe. Edit: These probably look much different and better in real life, now that I think about it. Desperado Bones fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Mar 31, 2012 |

Those are godawful. And I cannot believe someone got money for making something that ugly and downright inept. This isn't for someone's high school project. This is for a multi-million dollar Tim Burton movie starring Johnny Depp, amongst several other big celebrities. Those posters are MySpace user quality.

Those character posters could work if they came off as Warholesque but they just look like bad colorization of a black and white photo.

I think Jay Dub said to me that they looked like they wanted to make them like an Warhol painting and then forgot what a Warhol painting looked like. That about sums up the first round of posters. The newer ones are a tad better (They still paled the hell out of Helena despite her character looking fairly normal in the trailer) because they prefer to let the character shine and then do wacky color poo poo to the background instead.

You would have to pay me to watch another film where Johnny Depp plays a pale-faced eccentric. And as monotonous as he is in these roles, he's still the best part of most Tim Burton films.

They're not good posters but it's also pretty clear they're working with some lovely source material.

Tyle Perry did it better. Not so surprising because the posters for his movies are usually well done:

Not so surprising because the posters for his movies are usually well done: Having seen the Warhol work like the Marilyn screenprint up close when my printmaking class toured an exhibit of his work, not only is the effect is ridiculously easy to replicate in Photoshop, but replicating Warhol's technique in actuality isn't that hard to do. Warhol's big "secret" was that painted the colors on canvas before hand, then silkscreened the photo image on top of it. The fact that, like Big Budget Sequel or Jay Dub said, the marketers wanted a Warhol-esque work without actually referencing one is pretty atrocious to me. I mean, that's basic art school poo poo.

If you think a straight faced, closeted Southern Baptist in drag doing a fuckin' Straw Dogs parody isn't funny, I don't know what to tell you.

They're nice posters. You don't have to like the humor, but at least try and appreciate it. The ladies at my work go nutso over Madea, and it's nice that the Tyler Perry movies actually have some decent looking homage posters instead of the standard "Hey, black people!" Let's not turn this into a whole thing. Is there any good articles on the way that movie posters have changed over the years? There's a classroom at my college completely covered with movie posters, and it's interesting to see the different trends.

My local thrift store had a copy of this poster for sale. I didn't buy it because it's atrocious, but I did immediately look it up online when I got home so I could share it with this thread. It's somehow much worse in person, the girl's head literally looks like it was physically pasted on to a picture of someone else.

All I can think is that the designers for this were just being lazy by not doing their homework.And Perry's posters are a nice, and well done parody. That's why I like them.

TheJoker138 posted:Not anymore. They've gotten lazy. Now it's all "This Ain't Star Trek!" and "The Avengers: A XXX Parody" I miss the days when my idea of "Aeon Fux" starring Charlize Hard-On would have gotten made. One of the biggest lost opportunities I can remember is when they made a 30 Rock porn parody. Predictably it was called "THIS AIN'T 30 ROCK: A XXX PARODY" or something lame like that, when it could have been called XXX Rock. I mean think about it. GOD drat.
