Happy Noodle Boy posted:The people who make the calls rarely are the ones in graphic design. I'd prefer more of a WhatIfquel where it's just an hour and a half showing how the movie would've gone down with more of the vicious monsters like the snake or the killer robot.

Robert Denby posted:kiimo, knowing who the 'client' probably is (Stallone), you should never feel bad about those posters. This is the guy who tried to get an author to remove his name from a novel that a movie he starred in was loosely based on, so that he could claim sole credit for the concept. muscles like this? posted:Which one was that?

 Old posters from my country, I bring a bit more from Tin-Tan because I remember that some goons lover the art in it.  "Dona She-devil" (Maria Felix was a sex-symbol of the era,she was still as classy before dying)  "Aye my love, how do you make me feel!" (I can't find a better way to translate the title)  "The Unknown Mariachi" A couple of generic ones. I was forced to watch both movies when I was little, they were ridiculous.  "Lola, the trailer-driver" The tagline says "Movie of the year!"  "The Avenger Warrior 2" And one from El Topo

Cobra is a classic Hollywood schlock-fest, right down to the dialogue. I'll still watch it when I see it on TV randomly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0DmvEepfoU

All I want in the world is a poster for Dredd that looks exactly like the poster for Cobra. You can even keep the same tagline. I want this so very badly.

It depresses me that films like The 400 Blows get into the Criterion Collection but Cobra and RoboCop don't. The system is broken.  vvv Wait a minute, I knew that, the hell was I thinking? I have the drat thing on DVD somewhere. Slim Killington fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Jan 18, 2013 |

kiimo posted:We had a good poster and he saw some European fan art and wanted us to emulate the style. Seriously. Like, going for a hybrid between painted retro 80s art and photography. Yeah, that's how it came off to me. Hey, at least it's something different.

Ez posted:Content: I've always loved the poster for Blazing Saddles. It's such a cool design and I love the little touches that people may miss at first glance like the microphone and "Hi I'm Mel, trust me" The best bit is the writing on the Chief's headband. It says "Kosher for Passover", but there's a deliberate spelling mistake transposing the first letters of the two words.

Lance Streetman posted:This I also like. Not to remove a hypothetical, fictional film credit from Richard Kiel (because Richard Kiel is awesome), but Arnold would still be old enough to have starred in a '70s Terminator. Schwarzenegger was 22 when he starred in Hercules in New York and had become famous before hand by winning the IFBB Mr. Universe championship the year before (and the NABBA version two years consecutively before).

Somewhere, in an alternate universe in an ocean of infinite alternate universes, Christopher Walken was the T-1000 in Terminator 2. I wanna live in that universe.

This one makes me think he teams up with Samurai Jack. Also, saw this over at imgur. Unreleased hand-painted The Incredibles poster that Brad Bird revealed the other day:

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I dunno, it's certainly accurate for the first 2/3rds of that movie. Sort of if we ignore the naked boy opening->abandoning the kid at the monastery. Even then the poster indicates Guns and Women and the last third of the movie is an examination of a heroes journey, religion, cyclical view of history, treatment of the disabled, and romance. It'd be like if Die Hard had all the same posters but kept going after the end credits and we watch a second plot featuring an aged John McClane trying to help his wife die with quiet dignity in the hospice. Then he turns into honey.

Yeah, I guess that's only the middle portion. Anyway, it's not misleading insofar as he does actually look that cool in the movie even while metaphysically tearing down the stoic gunman character, and he does have a foxy sidekick for a little bit. Now I kinda want to watch El Topo again.
