Cantskate43 posted:Explain. I don't remember anything of the sort but it sounds really interesting. Whoops, new page. These are spoilers for Hard Candy. I thought the fact that she has access to medical textbooks and tranquilizers strong enough to knock Jeff out within minutes were clues, but looking at the plot summary on Wikipedia, I guess it wasn't as explicit as I remember. I think there was also some dialogue near the end where Jeff accused Hayley of not being named Hayley -- and probably not even being 14?

Cacator posted:I agree wholeheartedly and it disappoints me that more people don't think this. It's incredibly smartly written and superbly acted, and it's what you should show to people who don't like Tarantino. Quoting because you and Spatula City are not alone in this line of thinking.  I need to watch it again, but it takes a full block of your day because Tarantino movies are filling viewing experiences.

Why does there have to be a horse racing movie every year? Is the genre really that popular?

I guess I ment horse movies in general, and your right, just because I'm sick of the genre doesn't mean their target demorgraphic won't keep paying money to see them. Is it sad that I can't name one Bob Hoskins movie since Roger Rabbit or Super Mario Brothers?

drat I loved Hook at the time it came out, though I think Robin William's acting would probably get on my nerves nowadays. But Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) and Smee (Hoskins) was the poo poo in that movie and whoever that kid was who played Rufio.

So after giving that poster for Safe some credit for getting a relevant Chinese character, turns out they thought better of making use of that where people actually speak Chinese. Spot any other differences?  e: Of course the linguistic and cultural difference has to be considered, but the tagline is pretty bad too: "A secret code has put a young girl in danger. Only the most dangerous man in New York can keep her alive." sub supau fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Apr 16, 2012 |

They're really playing up the imagery of Spider-Man being intrinsically linked to New York city in those posters. I like it.

Considering the posters seem to be playing up the voyeuristic nature of him watching the city from on high, him being slightly creepy is fine. The mirrored eyes showing a distorted city skyline in the first poster, and repeating the distorted/fisheye perspective on the city below is quite interesting. Not sure if those elements will be in the movie at all, but I really like those posters.

The one reflected in the eye piece is the Empire State Building, the one behind him is the Chrysler building. That poster has plenty of problems without needing you guys to start making poo poo up about what's in it.
