From earlier: Struzan blends his heads with the backgrounds and light, which is a totally different thing than changing the opacitiy on the head layer in photoshop. I'm not actually a huge fan of his Blade Runner cover - I prefer the original - but the way he utilises the floating head is the opposite of lazy. His BTTF1 poster is one of my favorites. Wish I had a quad version of that.

Ez posted:Oooh ya got me. Except I wasn't talking about sperging in this thread, I was speaking about goons in general. Typography is hugey, hugely important. It's an art. A lot of 'goons' have taken to recognising one or two standard fonts and ranting about them, much in the same way that many of them in CD cling to the "praaaaaactical effeeects" bandwagon because it's the fast-track way to looking like a Film Connoisseur. However, rather that than the other instance on here were someone was raging "why does it even matter" that Papyrus was on the Avatar poster, and that it wasn't important. This why we have such terrible posters now, because execs know that people will swallow any old poo poo and that the details don't matter. It was mind blowing to see someone post 'lol u care about something' when discussing art - albeit commercial art. Desperado Bones posted:But then we have this: I like this. Immediately evocative of the TV movie, and actually quite chilling. I really like Radcliffe and I'm excited to see him in this. The posters showing him beardy and sleep-deprived is a GREAT way to break him out of Potterdom. echoplex fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Jan 28, 2012 |

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Time means anything in film production? There have been films that took 50 years to get made. Stuff like early sci-fi from Dick and Asimov got optioned back in the 50's, and many of the stories are still in production hell. Rights get passed from owner to owner, studio to studio, endless drafts of screen plays, it goes on forever. 10 years to get a film going is nothing out of the ordinary. True, but that's not exactly relevant when we're talking about a pop culture franchise. 10 years between second sequels is really pushing it.

TheJoker138 posted:Why does everyone like Kristanna Loken? She has literally never been in anything good. From Mortal Kombat: Conquest to T3 to Painkiller Jane to Bloodrayne, everything she is in is absolute poo poo, and she is poo poo in it. I feel bad for anyone whose career clearly doesn't pan out they way they'd hope. Doing stuff like this is obviously a paycheque but at what point do you think about giving up on your dream and getting an office job? The fall from grace from T3 (relatively speaking) must have hurt.

I think the beauty of the BTTF2 product placements was that they were sort of in on the joke, and the brand was happy to be attached to whatever ridiculous format that they were presented in, so it felt less insidious. The whole "vintage converse" thing from I, Robot still leaves a bad taste and I don't even know how many loving years it's been since that film came out. 10?

Wow, this is the most 90s poster I've seen in quite some time. If that Helvetica was in italics it'd be indistinguishable from period - look at the costumes! Is it set in the 90s? Abbie Cornish's shoes are. (I like it).

Bugblatter posted:Well having the camera die in the middle of a take and not knowing when it would be operation again is a little different from what he's talking about. The film equivalent would be something like shooting with rolls of unknown length leading to unpredictable roll-outs... and then not knowing where your other mags are. The best thing about the RED One was when the fans would go beserk so you couldn't shoot sound. GREAT JOB GUYS.

Vagabundo posted:I honestly can not make heads or tails of this mess. What the hell is going on in this poster? I have a lot of more serious cultural black holes, but I'm sort of tempted to marathon the first 4 of these and then go see the 5th. I've never played the games, and all I know about the series is the unskippable trailer for the first one on my copy of 28 Days Later. They keep being made for a reason, I guess, and I am compelled to understand that.

homerlaw posted:I really like that , I like "prop" posters; it's an ad for THE Jurassic Park, that's cool to me. But even then it's entirely at odds with the film's style? The prop artwork was a representative and stylised version of the already stylised "reality" of the film: It's a nice bit of work, I guess, just kinda pointless.

Dick Trauma posted:I liked the initial parts of the trailer but it looks like it very quickly turns into a standard shoot 'em up. That's the problem with what passes for sci fi sometimes: they try to establish a strange, alien setting and then quickly fill it up with the usual bullshit. It looks like it's going to be incredibly beautiful but Morgan Freeman and especially Tom Cruise are cinematic death for me. Watching Tom Cruise in a film is like watching someone else go on a theme park ride based on a film. He's a terrible actor and an annoying persona.
