I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?



I get what they wanted to do (Make the logo in the buildings look like his wings somehow) but it doesn't really work.

Well, it's just their Batman logo, and then they slapped him onto it, trying to get his ears to line up with the logo's. Pretty drat lazy. Wasn't that same poster the first teaser poster for the film, just without the absurd tagline and orange filter and Batman?

I actually liked it the very moment I saw it, but then after half a second I was like, "wait, that is utter poo poo."

He plays Bane, the main villain of the film.

So there's this quirky comedy coming out about an alien invasion. Its standard poster isn't terrible (at least they manually distressed their typography, unlike the "Lawless" posters above), but check out the trailer page for it. Hoooly crap:

Hardy's the main villain, Bane. (e:fb) As to why he's in a bunch of movies now, I guess he's got a hell of an agent and people like working with him.

I was just about to post that new Batman one, because it is a pretty lazy poster design, especially for a series that's had a precedent for some really good (or at least eye-catching) posters. Here's the release poster for the second film:



And the first:

You're right

The previous teaser poster



That new poster is surprisingly lazy (on top of the terrible writing and design) for a AAAA summer blockbuster

Hopefully there's still another proper one to come before release

It's quite astonishing how much the special effects have improved in the 9 years between Philosopher's Stone (gently caress that "Sorcerer's Stone" bullshit) and the 7th one. Even the poster for the first one looks a bit poo poo in comparison.

Going on the previous two, there'll be like five more between now and the opening weekend minimum.

I mean, the Batman Begins one was one of three that they had as a "final": one that evoked the Hunchback of Notre Dame with him carrying Rachel, one where his body turned into a bunch of bats swooping towards the foreground of the poster, and the "he's dropping right down at you" one most people associate with the movie. Dark Knight had the "World Without Rules" one, and then like a dozen other posters in the last month before the movie opened.

It's worth noting also that as the movies went on, the WB studio card before the film got dingier and rustier looking. I thought it was pretty neat.

I hadn't heard of that, but according to google it was on The Wettest County in the World. Shia apparently said during some interview that a joke turned into a fight and afterward Tom Hardy never picked a fight with him again? I can't seriously imagine Shia coming out on top in that scenario. Shia then goes on to talk about how Tom Hardy drives expensive sports cars and is vain, but Shia stays humble even though he has enough money to last, "like 25 lifetimes." What an insufferable little prick.

This quote from Tom Hardy from a few months later is fun though:

Tom Hardy posted:

"I got knocked out by Shia LaBeouf, actually," Hardy said. "In Wettest County, apparently." According to the site, no one could tell whether he was joking, although the following was met with quite a bit of laughter.

"[It was] behind the scenes! No, he did, he knocked me out sparko. Out cold. He's a bad, bad boy. He is. He's quite intimidating as well. He's a scary dude. He just attacked me," Hardy said, reportedly provoking more laughter. "He was drinking moonshine. I was wearing a cardigan, and er, went down. I woke up in Pnut's arms."

Pnut is Hardy's personal trainer, and the actor said the following exchange then took place between the two of them. "He was concerned for me. I was like, ‘What was that? It was lightning fast.'" And he said, ‘That was Shia.' I said, ‘fuckin' hell. Can we go home now?' ‘No, we've still got three weeks to finish.'"

Anyway, it sounds like Shia's just talking out of his rear end. I like Hardy even more for his response though.

Tom Hardy is a total dandy in real life whereas Shia LeBoeuf apparently had a bit of a rough upbringing, doesn't seem unlikely to me. Also why do you keep spelling his name 'Shai'?
