Sorry, late to this one, but I think one of them is Eli from Let the Right One In.

And those Capitol propaganda posters are absolutely beautiful.

Just because a topic is important doesn't mean that there isn't times where it's senseless to bring it up and mock those that just get angry at something for no real reason.

They are making fun of someone in such a rush to be offended that s/he didn't notice the other woman.

It's especially weird to complain about the "one" girl being overtly feminine when the other girl not being so is the reason you didn't notice her.

Bring back the possibility of the ET sequel where he comes back and has to rescue Elliot.

http://semajblogeater.blogspot.ca/2011/06/et-ii-nocturnal-fears-sequel-that-never.html

quote:

E.T. II: Nocturnal Fears (Check out the treatment of the story)

While listening to the Hollywood Saloon podcast, they talked about the movies “that never happened”, and E.T. II came up as a project that was talked about and planned in the very early stages by Spielberg.

The concept behind this darker space sequel to the brighter first movie actually originated from an earlier planned sequel to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It was called Night Skies. It had some meaner aliens showing up on Earth after the friendly aliens left. Portions of that dropped story found its way into the ET-II treatment.

After ET became a huge hit, the studio and Spielberg thought about doing a sequel to ET. The treatment from the link above was the basic outline of that story. The story would have been direct sequel to the first movie, being most of the characters would have returned, but the story structure, style and tone were going to be darker. And, the kicker is ET wouldn't have shown up until the third act. That would have been a major issue with the story in its current form. People would have wanted to see ET and Elliot reunite earlier. The focus would be on the evil aliens instead. That would have turned some people off. I'm sure if they there were script rewrites, those changes would haven taken place.

Spielberg changed his mind and stopped the whole ET-II project. With some rewrites, I personally think the movie would have worked on a creepy level. I remember all those creepy moments in Close Encounters that Spielberg conveyed, and he could have carried them over to this project. (Remember the railroad tracks scene or the child being kidnapped?)

However, this follow could have cheapened the last few scenes from the first movie, by having ET show up only to leave again.

I've seen TV ads that have reviewer quotes that praise the film for being exactly that.

So I guess the moral is, if you're going to do it, might as well own it.

The trailer made it look pretty drat entertaining, but if you asked me to guess what the film was based on the poster alone, I would have assumed it was a CGI animated film. That's how completely overproduced that poster seems to me.

This needs to have Paul Rudd in it, because I want to see what clip he will play when he appears on Conan O'Brien's show.

I am surprised no one mentioned that the other woman on that Big Hero 6 poster, Go Go Tomago, turns into a sphere and "Tomago" means "egg". That's loaded with symbolism right there.

Of course, but "the pink girl one!" and "the tomboy Asian one!" are pretty regressive cliches that don't need to be carried over, especially in tribute.

So if a woman is feminine its oppression and if a woman is masculine its regressive? Why are portrayals of women a no-win scenario? Is the only option to exclude them completely?

(I kid, that is also a losing scenario.)

I wonder of the bloom is starting to come off the rose for Mondo. I noticed that two of their latest posters are still available for sale over a day after they were released. Usually anything and everything they released was snapped up in seconds.

I don't believe that's true though. About a year ago when I was interested in some Mondo stuff, I followed their sales for a long time. 99% of anything they put up was sold in seconds, regardless of the artist. There are definitely more popular artists for sure, but it was the difference between popular artists selling out in 10 seconds, versus the least popular artists selling out in 60 seconds.
