I have always liked this poster because they could have gone in a very different direction but this lets everyone know that not all animated films are for kids.

If only my parents had seen that poster before they rented the movie for me. When I was 7. You were scarred by IT as a kid? Lucky you...I still can't watch Watership Down :gonk:.

Well then I do apologise, they're great. I got to see Morricone live in concert this year, hearing the suite from the Good the Bad and the Ugly is something I'll cherish forever.

There is no shame in that. The The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is one of the best soundtracks of all time. Hearing "The Ecstasy of Gold" still gets be pumped every time. That track is SO loving good it is beyond words. As is the rest of the soundtrack but this one really sticks out for me.

So here's our new one. This film got snatched up and fast-tracked and we had to turn this around super fast with Alcon.

I will listen to and accept any and all criticisms and flimsily defend ourselves while blaming the other company for anything you don't like.




I really like that poster. That poster says: It's Chernobyl. It's a horror movie. It's stupid but fun.

Am I right so far? I really have no idea what the movie actually is about, but that's what I get from the poster.

Well in Germany at least pretty much every single movie is dubbed. It's a bit of a shame really since you occasionlly miss out on really good acting. Even if the voiceover is done well it can't hope to do justice to Nick Cage going completely mental or something similar.
It does make things cheaper for advertising, though. It's kinda fun to hear Bruce Willis pimping out a hardware store chain :v:

I love the dubs of 80's action movies, especially Die Hard was amazing.

I'm still confused that some movies are renamed in Germany. Taken was called 96 Hours which is just...weird.

Die Hard = Stirb Langsam (Die Slowly). That one makes sense in my opinion. Some really terrible German names were:

Original Title: Airplane!
German Title: Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug
German Title in English: The incredible journey in a crazy airplane

Original Title: Once upon a time in the West
German Title: Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod
German Title in English: Play me the Song of Death

Original Title: 3000 Miles to Graceland
German Title: Crime is King

Original Title: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
German Title: Zwei glorreiche Halunken
German Title in English: Two glorious scoundrels

...is pretty loving relevant to the movie (there might be some spoilers).

Oh yes, it is relevant and I actually really like the German title. It's just very different.

quote:

I can see this as well, since the Elvis "The King" motif plays heavily into the film.

But changing an English title to another English title is just stupid no matter how relevant it might be.

Another really, really stupid title:

Original Title: The Man who knew too little
Original Title in German: Der Mann, der zu wenig wusste
German Title: Agent Null Null Nix – Bill Murray in hirnloser Mission
German Title in English: Agent Zero Zero Nothing – Bill Murray in a brainless mission

Edit: I just realized that you all are missing out on one of the best movie titles ever:

Orginal: Tremors
German: Tremors – Im Land der Raketenwürmer
Translation: Tremors – In the land of Rocket Worms

Let me tell you about the movie "God forgives..I don't" with Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer.Its violent and not funny at all.But the stars were known as funny guys in germany.So they just recut and redub the movie and call it "Zwei vom Affen gebissen" (engl. : Two guys bitten by monkeys)

This

became this:

tl;dr: German dubbing sucks.

The Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies are super popular in Germany. The dubs are AMAZING (because they are over the top ridiculous). I think they originals weren't that popular when they came out but they were HUGE in Germany and that's why they kept making them.

I try to watch all movies in their original language (with subtitles) but I will always watch these movies with the German dubs.

I think Australians just have to accept that our movies will always look like poo poo from the advertisements. And will normally look like poo poo when you're in the cinema too.

Australian cinema is like American cinema's younger brother. Clearly looks up to them and wants to be like them, but just can't do it. ...Same goes for Australian TV, actually. Underbelly is basically the only thing we have that isn't shameful.

The Proposition had REALLY nice posters! Sure, that is just one movie but I really want to get people talking about The Proposition again. I love that movie so much.

Speaking of absurdly typecasted actors, Will Ferrell should really do more serious stuff. He's a really good straight man, as seen in Stranger Than Fiction.

The impression I got from the Ender's Game trailer is that they have no idea how to market the thing. The posters reinforce that belief.

To be fair it really shouldn't have been made into a movie, there's not a big enough audience to justify a large sci-fi movie budget. The numbers never added up.

That trailer was weird. Bookspoiler: They put Ender blowing up the Bugger home planet in the loving trailer :psyduck:
