Thanks to Sheldrake and the CineD Secret Santa, I now have a framed copy of this hanging in my house.

I think framing is the only option, really.

Here are more posters, the artist is Ernesto "Chango" Garc�a Cabral if anyone wants to look more of his stuff:

I hate you, because now I have to watch all of these movies so that I will have an excuse to own these posters.

Also, IMP has their nominations for its annual poster awards up. There's some impressive stuff-- good and bad.

Can't be a coincidence that it sounds close to 'Dear God'.

I need a movie poster font nerd's help. What's the font on the Tree of Life poster?

Also, to contribute, one of my favorite posters:

For half a second, I thought the dog was Kevin Kline's hand, and maybe it was a film about one man's tragic struggle against having Lassie attached to his wrist.

Holy hell, the blu-ray cover for The Artist is so awful.

Actually, it's not awful. It's just painfully average, and nowhere near as good compared to the other posters. I don't understand why they couldn't have just gone with this:

I like that both tell you absolutely nothing about the movie, but I guess at least the blu-ray cover tells you it's about that goddamn dog that no one shut up about for a full month.

I like dogs. gently caress that dog.

Movie comes out in less than a month and I have not heard of it at all.

I do not predict it will be good.

I've heard of it, so I guess it'll be the greatest loving movie ever made.

Why is that woman shouting "Blam blam"? Is her gun not really loaded?

Every once in a while you come upon an image that makes you want to just end it all. This falls in that category, not because of a bad photoshop, just because I don't want to live in this world anymore because this exists.

If it makes you feel better/worse knowing, it's a pretty terrible movie.

Not getting enough love. Neither of those posters make me care about that character. Who passes that by and says "Man I wanna watch that girl apathetically text."

Okay, I'll defend the second poster with her on the fuzzy blanket. The movie is Cyrus shaking up her image, with the storyline being about her attempts to lose her virginity. The visual arithmetic in that poster is to show her differently than her Hannah Montana character, and to show her as a girl too involved with her cell phone to even realize that she's supposed to pay attention to the audience; she's too drat self absorbed.

I hate self promoting, but I watched it and was part of that 44k, so here's my review of the movie.

So is this film title supposed to be as in "laugh out loud" (which everyone, except your gran who has never seen a phone or a computer in her life, knows LOL means) or "lots of love" (which supposedly only David Cameron here in the UK thinks it is)?

It ends with LOL spelling out 'Lots of Love' on screen, so that may explain where Cameron got it from.

"Live and Let Die" was pretty absurd.

That one where he crawls out to the car and has to use a defibrillator to restart his heart was the goofiest loving thing I ever saw, like Austin Powers level goofy.

Someone's gone to the effort of plotting colour trends in movie posters since 1914.

It's a shame they didn't make any movies in 1924.

I don't really know if the tagline is a "joke" or as a selling point, but the movie is (predictably) terrible.

Why are there two guys in bed in the bottom poster instead of the guy and a girl? Will this movie have those edgy 'homosexual' jokes I've heard so much about?

The international poster for 'Killing Them Softly':

I like it, even with the floating heads. The colour-scheme especially is somehow eye-catching even if it's mostly shades of grey. Kind of Cop Landish.

But I have to ask, what is wrong with Liotta's face? drat, son.

Richard Jenkins is becoming Bryan Cranston. Good career move.

This, on the other hand is the best tagline ever.

This full size poster is hanging on the wall fifteen feet in front of me. One of my favorites, and it always incites some sort of deep discussions about what, exactly, was he going to train those dolphins for.

Lets talk about a Good Poster

Created by David Fincher. He's also directing two of 13 episodes, all of which will go live on Netflix at once on February 1st. I for one am pretty fuckin psyched.

I presume he had bad luck opening a container of barbecue sauce?

I know I can't wait to see Film About Daniel Craig Standing Behind a Car in London. Hopefully it will be as good as Film About Daniel Craig on his Back, Pointing His Gun to the Right In a Vaguely Suggestive Manner.

Nick used to actually do some kind of edgy stuff, but dropped off in the past decade or so. This is probably aimed more towards the tween and teen crowd like stuff such as Snow Day had been in the past.

Remarkably, Fun Size also gives off a weird Pete & Pete vibe. I'll probably give it a shot.

The title was dumb, it was dumb when they kept referencing it in the movie ("I have to RISE out of this improbable prison," Batman said.), and I'm glad there weren't a billion crappy vertigo-effect posters telling moviegoers to "rise".

But yeah Batman swoops down from the shadows all the time, kinda weird that they didn't work it into the marketing. Like that cool Amazing Spider-Man poster with the spider-shadow.

"You know, putting my sandwich inside a wrap was a great idea! Just like making that Amazing Spider-Man movie!"

I love the bad actor dude playing the cop, who just stares at them asking where Alameda is. He just stares.... and stares, not moving a muscle, not breathing. I'm sure his acting directions were "You think they seem crazy, so you just stare at them incredulously.", but he seemed to take it as "Do your best impression of a mannequin."

That was an actual cop. He was doing security for the shooting. The whole bit was more or less improvised.
