Mr Wind Up Bird posted:I'm not sure what this other Cedar Rapids movie Ed Helms apparently was in is about. Cedar Rapids was mostly unfunny and kind of depressing at times from what I remember, so that cover has probably led to a lot of people renting it / buying it and being very disappointed.

Cedar Rapids is another in a long line of movies where the only reason to watch it is for John C. Reilly.

I liked Cedar Rapids but that cover in no way conveys anything about the movie, in fact it conveys the exact opposite. It looks like they were trying to make it seem like The 40 Year Old Virgin or something on the cover when it's actually a dark comedy and pretty depressing most of the time.

Hilarious hijinks ensue with the two doing crap to each other. At one point he convinces her he will throw her cat over the board walk. She jumps off as he is throwing the cat over and it reveals the cat is in a mini bungee jumping harness.

Mister Chief posted:If you've seen The Sound of My Voice you will know that this cover is not representative of the movie at all. Wow. That makes it look like a completely generic horror film. The theatrical poster didn't really tell you much about it either, but at least it didn't mislead you.

I like the retro styling of it. It really should have been in black and white, though, since the tv show is where everyone really got into Hitchcock as a personality and the movie is about the filming of Psycho.

Is there an actual reason that Mondo sell next to no posters? They sell out in less than a minute so surely they can afford to make more. It's so frustrating following them on Twitter because stuff is gone almost the moment it's announced. Isn't running a business all about supplying a market? Running like 100 copies of something and leaving the only place to buy them be Ebay is a terrible business practice. I'd even take reprints for a cheaper price.

It's so frustrating following them on Twitter because stuff is gone almost the moment it's announced. It's likely they have very little inventory space, and limited production capacity as well. Small print runs in high quality at premium prices make them exclusive art objects instead of just movie posters, which creates far more demand than supply on average. The high speculative prices on ebay only increases the demand at the very moment they go on sale. Maybe they'll be financially stable enough to do large print runs in coming years, but for now they've found something that seems to work great for them.

I've read interviews where they explain their reasoning but I wouldn't have a clue where I read it. If I want one of their posters I wouldn't really have a problem paying double for one on ebay just after they're gone on sale. Their starting prices are cheap and basically without fail they appreciate in vslue. I always point to my Tyler Stout Robocop that was originally $30 and now goes for around $900.

I guess my only complaint with the Skyfall posters and standees is that they're lazy to the point where they just scream "gently caress you it's James Bond, you're going to watch it anyways". And the sad part is, they're right. I'm going to watch it anyways.

I saw one in my theater last night set up so that he's shooting the dog from Frankenweenie. But the dog in that movie gets reanimated anyway, so I guess it's cool. Or has he already been reanimated in the standee, in which case Bond would be killing him again? Oh well, if the kid in Frankenweenie was able to reanimate his dead dog once, he can do it again.

How many movie posters have Mondo put out? It seems like there's a new one every couple of posts in this thread and it amazes me that there is a seemingly endless market for them. I know they make posters for a wide range of movies so they don't all target the exact same market but I feel like there's a point where there are so many Mondo posters out there that they stop being special. Especially the last few that have been posted; they seem to be looking more generic like the designers have figured out exactly how 'artsy' they need to look and aren't really trying anymore.

Mister Chief posted:Not to be confused with another CG animated feature film series staring African animals. I just automatically assumed this was Dreamworks, but I looked the movie up on imdb and can't even find a company tied to it that I recognize. Is this direct-to-video or what is this? The poster itself is just the most generic mash-up of CGI non-characters. The giraffe, on the "back" of the hawk, is the same size as the other two giraffes who are sticking their heads out of the clouds. So is that a tiny giraffe with a huge head or is it actually just a giraffe's head growing out of the rear end of a hawk?
