I've never done a faster 180 on a movie. This seems... odd and interesting. You see, HOLLYWOOD, what one good poster can do?!

Well, kudos for a poster trying to do something a bit different, but man do I hate that poster so much. It doesn't look like pastels or crayons or whatever it's supposed to be as much as it looks like layers upon layers of photoshop default filters. Bonus hard-to-read tagline.

I saw it too, but then I read the tagline as "The Pie wants what it wants", thinking it was a depiction of an enormous raspberry galette mislabeled as "The Pie." There's even what appears to be a slice taken out of it.

I love the way the island is just kinda plonked randomly in the void. And a skywriter's labelled it just in case anyone was confused as to if it was the titular island.

I am irrationally fond of the classic sci-fi/horror poster cliche of the monster posing while cradling an unconscious woman. Even - or especially - when nothing like that ever happens in the movie. By 1954 I think this was already a cliche, as it's being used misleadingly here:  I know I've seen others, but my memory fails me regarding their titles.

"We'll put him in a gorilla suit but we can't use the head of the gorilla so we'll replace it with a skull, but a human skull on a gorilla body will look weird so let's put it in a space helmet with antennas!" It also has strangely delicate hands.

The only thing connected to Harmony Korine that I've watched was Kids, and I thought it was a bleak, pretentious piece of poo poo. The basic summary of that film was "underage kids gently caress a lot, one of them is a scumbag with aids". The End. That aside, I'm intrigued by James Franco's performance but I don't know if I'm intrigued enough to bother watching the movie. I'm sure it'll be creepy enough that I'd feel ashamed for buying a ticket/watching the movie in public.

You certainly can't lump that plot alongside Kids. edit: And Julien Donkey Boy, for anyone who decided on him after Gummo. I didn't feel Trash Humpers and that Die Antward thing, but I think he's a totally interesting film maker from everything else, and someone I trust raved about Breakers and put it at the top of his films of the year, so I got my ticket for whenever the hell it screens in New Zealand.

Disney OK'd these, then almost immediately went, "Oh gently caress we made a huge mistake" and their retraction became very public: For several decades after that, they tried their damndest to block sales of 16mm prints of "Alice in Wonderland" to college campuses.

Wendell posted:Why is that ugh worthy? Because you were too dopey to get it? I'd ugh too because it makes no sense. All the nonsense words in Jabberwocky have definitions, courtesy of Lewis Carroll. Brillig means "four o'clock in the afternoon — the time when you begin broiling things for dinner." Not exactly the sort of thing I'd think important to advertise on a movie poster.
