Cacator posted:But they're still supposed to be movie posters representing movies. Maybe the TWBB one is the least like a traditional poster, but why have the title take up so much space if it's completely illegible? Seriously, the letters in the title don't even look like letters. At least, not Latin script anyway.

I like everything about that poster except the title. Is it the same artist whose designs have been posted before and all have that ridiculously ornate and unreadable text?

I really like that Boogie Nights one. I would never hang it on my wall, but it perfectly captures that movies tone.

I agree, usually this guy's typography is unforgivable but whether or not it's coincidental, it actually suits the poster... this time. When do they go on sale?

This sucks. I think I remember Sandler getting punched out, but it's definitely not an evocative image for the movie. The 60's style art has nothing to do with anything. Something could have evoked those strange moving light painting that were plopped about instead of a random inserted look. Even a minimalism poster depicting a wrecked bathroom hand dryer or a pudding cup would be a ton better. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 04:50 on May 14, 2013 |

Teenage Fansub posted:This sucks. I think I remember Sandler getting punched out, but it's definitely not an evocative image for the movie. I've never seen Punch Drunk Love, but that beautiful poster makes me really want to. Are you telling me a hypothetical half-assed minimalist poster depicting an object out of context has more artistic merit and more advertising influence than genuinely good art? Here are my favorite movie posters:  I like this poster because it presents a somewhat scientific illustration of "nature" along with the quote "nature is satan's church" and the title "Antichrist" and expects you to connect the dots. It's smart, good looking, and representative of the movie it advertises.  I like this poster because it's an evocative, striking image. Jodie Foster with a moth symbolically silencing her, and the moth is composed of naked women forming a skull. The colors are good too, it's not just a photograph of Foster with the moth superimposed over it. For those of you who object to the practice of making a poster that's simply an object with some importance to the film's plot, here's another Antichrist poster that pretty much spells out the climax of the movie symbolically.  Close the scissors to connect the faces in a kiss, and the clitoris of the symbolic vagina formed by the blood trail and the scissor blades is severed. scary ghost dog fucked around with this message at 05:02 on May 14, 2013 |

Well it wouldnt be good, but it would be remotely related. I'm just using that to express how non-evocative the tone of this poster is. If it's attracting you, you won't see any of that in the movie. You should see it. My favorite PTA  edit: I've always loved this image.  edit 2: I think this might be the best poster for Antichrist.  Love the rating description right there in the middle with the title. e: Though it'd only ever work as a preview poster. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 05:16 on May 14, 2013 |

Robert Denby posted:That was actually used with the release of the film. I like the more well-known one better though, maybe because the approach is, I guess you'd call it classical, while the above is clearly 70s graphic design. For reference: Oh come on, The Lone Ranger isn't going to be that bad.

Stare-Out posted:I'm pretty sure that's just a publicity photo they slapped the text on to, but it doesn't really seem too creepy to me. Kudos to them for using the actual actors in a poster though and for the lack of floating heads. I guess that's what I'm actually liking, that they managed to get the actors together,and it's not the usual Frankenstein's monsters composed of different body parts...sometimes not even from the real actors.

The guy who did that illustrated Antichrist poster, David D'Andrea, is brilliant. He does incredible posters for a lot of slower metal bands.

Frostwerks posted:Oh come on, The Lone Ranger isn't going to be that bad.  Looks pretty crummy to me. My favourite bit is probably how the brown filter has even turned the blue sky behind the actor's heads into a kinda washed out grey-brown. Its so bland, goddamn. It baffles me that we have an overcrowded design industry and we still get stuff like this.

Because the bad design choices are likely instructed to be made by not designers but studios employing said designers. Johnny Depp as Tonto looks... really bad. And I still like the Pirate movies.

Originally it was going to be mega-budget blockbuster about the Lone Ranger hunting werewolves, then John Carter flopped and they rebooted production to make it more grounded. They only just started filming last year, but they somehow managed to release a teaser last summer.

New trailer made it seem cool, got a revenge/clear out the political corruption vibe, which is what the Lone Ranger should be about imo.

However, I'm fairly certain that Carl Reiner, dressed as a medieval executioner, does hang a horse in that movie.
