Arkane posted:While I'm posting stuff I own, this one for Inglourious Basterds is my favorite: http://ibraheemyoussef.com/ibraheemshop/images/inglourious.jpg This is exactly why people hate faux-minimalist posters. The entire poster is just a sly in-joke for people who have seen the movie, it doesn't tell you anything about the film itself or represent the tones and themes and in it. I think one of the few times I've seen abstract in-jokey posters work is when it's a poster for an old, classic film rather than a recent release. When TCM did modern posters for classic films a few years ago their take on Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was pretty great:

NINbuntu 64 posted:Where's the Seth Rogan hate coming from? Seriously, did he kill somebody's dog or something? He's naturally funny and brings a lot of charm to his roles even when that role is being the kind of person you'd hate. I think with Hill and Rogan it's just backlash from over-exposure combined with people holding them personally responsible for the quality every movie they've ever acted in.

kiimo posted:You should rectify this. The first Crow is really badass kind of in the vein of, oh, the first Blade. I thoroughly enjoyed it. As someone who loves Proyas' output (including I Robot and Kn0wing) The Crow is worth watching just to see him in his early years. It's a decent movie in its own right, if you can divorce it from all the Hot Topic-isms it inspired.

MrBling posted:I like how it is just a stock publicity photo of John Cena on the cover. At least get one of him wearing a shirt. Unless he is actually shirtless throughout the movie, that would at least be kinda amusing. I know through the Onion AV Club review that John Cena is Fred's imaginary dad (he's fatherless and his mom is a neglectful alcoholic) so he pretty much plays himself, running around shirtless and beating the kid up while giving fatherly wisdom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gwVU3exQms

Yeah, having read the books I don't know how I feel about those posters. They're objectively awful, but the Capitol is supposed to be built around a lifestyle of garish conspicuous consumption so those posters being so awful fits right in with the story. Either way, Cinna looks dreamy

I still have to admire MAD back in the day for The Usual Gang of Idiots refusing to have advertising in their magazine since they thought marketing to kids was wrong and that it could compromise their humor. At least until they got bought out and the print was driven into irrelevance and because a license for awful TV programming instead.

Irish Taxi Driver posted:I've never been fond of the super smart kid who knows everything character, so Hard Candy was infuriating to me. Ellen Paige was incredible though in her ability to play that character. Someone on this forum had an interpretation that she was a supernatural spirit of vengeance rather than an actual human, which makes her behavior in the movie much easier to swallow. Granted, that doesn't change it being squicky torture porn of a socially-acceptable victim.

I'm sure the people Kerouac based his book on weren't half as pretty as that cast though. All I know about Kerouac is that On the Road is up there with Atlas Shrugged when it comes to books that people cringe to remember liking.

CRINDY posted:This one was a bomb of epic proportions. Despite a budget reported to be about $11 million, Lionsgate unceremoniously dumped it in about 100 theaters over the May 4-6 weekend (probably because their Hunger Games success would let them eat the loss of production costs, or at least made eating the loss more viable financially than throwing another $10-15 toward trailers, TV spots, prints, etc.) You know how Disney War had that whole chapter about how Hillary Duff got kicked out of Disney because of her crazy mom's demands and then her career fizzled away without them backing her? It looks like Miley Cyrus is entering that same downward spiral.

Physical posted:In regards to the RE movie talk. I'd really like to see a Half-Life movie. And I want it in mostly first person. I think. There are alot of "holy poo poo" jump at you moments and I think it would be neat to see a movie where it's all First Person. Although I guess that would be like watching a Let's Play without someone annoying talking over it. I think a Half-Life movie would be pretty pointless because without the first-person gimmick and the way that they tell the story almost entirely through background stuff like newspaper clipping and the design of the environments (which only really works in a game that you can explore at your leisure) all your left with is another alien invasion story with some pretty cool monster designs.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:drat, that's true now that I think about it. Still, I wouldn't doubt that the writers will try and fit a few nods to them in there somewhere. The Wiz walks past a Scarecrow, see a lion in the distance, that sort of thing. Maybe they'll work in the tin woodsman's backstory from the book, where he keeps accidentally chopping off parts of his body and getting them replaced with tin prosthetics until every part of his body has been replaced

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:His big work was The Wire and Prometheus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRDB9R2_Jk4 Dillbag posted:*Back in the days of shooting on film a normal camera roll was around 400 feet, so you could only shoot for 4-ish minutes before having to change mags. This gave the actors and crew time to reset, go over their lines, reapplyt etc. WIth the advent of digital recording to large format hard drives, you can shoot 4k 3D for almost an hour without turning the camera off. It can be very tempting for directors to be lazy and just leave the cameras running and go again and again and again, but it really fucks with your cast. Many actors lose their places, their performances get muddled, and they get burned out very quickly. It's funny, because one of the big complaints with early RED cameras was the exact opposite: that the cameras were prone to crashing and the minute or two that everyone had to stand around waiting for it to reboot completely killed the flow and mood of all the actors and staff whereas with film that was never an issue and they could just keep shooting and shooting without interruption.

If everything about the movies weren't so stupid and lazy and I might congratulate them for being so grotesque and unsettling. It's not like deformed William H. Macy or Dolph Lundgren's knife bigger than his head where it's something off to the side, it's just one giant poster-filling monstrosity.
