Vagabundo posted:Hardy and Pine had the same body, only flipped on the theatrical poster, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. The part about the legs, I mean. There was a giant billboard in my neighborhood with that poster on it. I got to see a Photoshop nightmare every day on my way to work!

Yeah, my local theater had a giant 3 story banner with that poster. It was super jarring.

That's a very good poster, distinctive, the actors aren't photoshopped, and it tells you what it's about. It's amazing what having the leads actually pose for posters at some point during production can do for you. The perspective on the capital seems odd, but not implausible. And I get why they did the button like that, and I'm sure a lot of people will like it, but I think it obscures the name of the movie. A-

I like the poster. Something about Zach Galifianakis' cheek/neck looks a little off, if I had to guess a single part, but really can't find anything that looks 'obviously' photoshopped.

Also the eyebrows have been touched up both jawlines sharpened. Not too much though. I agree about the button but the filmmakers wanted that political feel.

So, kiimo, why are they emphasizing "Will" and "Zach" instead of "Ferrell" and "Galifinakis"? It seems like those two are more known by their last name instead of their first - its not like Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts. Just wondering what the reasoning was.

Two reasons. One, which is only a small amount of the reason, is everyone in the whole production just calls them Will and Zach and they/we might be a little too deep in it to know that the rest of the country doesn't recognize it that way. Two, and more importantly, it fits on the button better. There was a whole process where all our comps had different title treatments and then the filmmakers and execs finally decided on a button (some buttons had last names) and we had to go back and put that button on all our old comps before we moved forward on a one-sheet decision. I wasn't in the button decision meeting but that's what I heard.

First it was Dogfight. Then it was Southern Rivals. Then it was Rivals. Then we spent months trying to retitle it. Then the director chose The Campaign. *sigh*

Every time I see Galafianakis like that I have to tell myself it's not a prequel to Parks and Recreation featuring a younger Ron Swanson before he became disenfranchised with government.

I like that it is, as you said, minimally photoshopped and that it immediately tells you what it's about instead of two guys standing next to each other staring at the camera in their own goofy way or something.E: I've had to 'de-double-chin' photos before, it's still inherently funny every single time even though everyone will get a double chin in certain poses

The bit with Will saying "I refuse to lose..." over his mouth saying something else is weird. Is the movie actually funny with the lines decompressed? It looks terrible. e: Was there concern about Zach's character being kind of similar to Jack Black in Bernie? Fat, mustache, fey?

Role Play McMurphy posted:good post, I for one agree that The Hangover might have been a truly profound work of genius had they removed the one funny person Ok rear end in a top hat, I'll write more. Nice troll post though with no punctuation. Let's sum up his roles and the type he ALWAYS plays: weirdo bearded man who always plays his shtick deadly serious. Every single role is the same from Hangover to Due Date and even in The Muppets. Maybe Hangover could have been a bit better without his bullshit. He's boring and brings nothing to a film.

More of a sad-sack "straight man" for what was going on the movie Edit: I guess he may have done some wacky things in that movie now that I think about it (I think the was a wacky dream sequence kind of thing), I'm not sure, I barely remember it. In the main plot anyways, his role isn't the same as the Hangover etc. Billy Gnosis fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Jun 6, 2012 |

Oh, I was hoping for something something Anchorman but then I watched the trailer posted.  Teaches me to ever put faith in Will Ferrell just because of one movieSpeaking of which, Anchorman had a bland generic poster.

Have you people never seen a campaign button before? Seriously. That poster looks fine. The movie looks promising. I'm excited to see what unfolds and I don't think I'm alone, even if Will Ferrell is returning to a stock character.

Buying a couple colorful poster prints for my very stark white-walled office. There's a lot of crappy ones out there, so I've searched for a few days to find what I think are the some of the best (work-appropriate) designs. Each of these would be 11"x17" or 12"x18" prints, framed and matted appropriately. Thoughts?
