Huh, I was thinking Cate Blanchett, but yeah, her face looks weird in this poster.

Motherfucker, I can't believe it took me this long to get the Godzilla joke.

I actually really liked Godzilla.

Yeah, but killing Cranston was a HUGE mistake.

He was just on a podcast I listened to, and he actually mentions he raised that very point when he saw his character was dead by page 50. His argument was they spent the start of the movie building an emotional center around this character and then they yank him offstage with a huge cane leaving the audience without anyone to identify with for the rest of the movie.

I love Deus Ex but the Rockwell art throws me off. The games don't really have a 1950's aesthetic.

I think they're trying to evoke a 1950's "McCarthy/Red Menace" vibe with these.

It's odd, because at E3 and elsewhere they've said they're going for an apartheid theme, which isn't really the same thing. Maybe they thought red scare imagery just connected more with American audiences, or maybe they didn't want their marketing to get confused with a Neill Blomkamp movie.

It may come down to more of a "know your audience" aspect. Americans are not very familiar with apartheid propaganda and these are very evocative of the Red Menace. Perhaps a similar treatment in South Africa would have more of an apartheid feel to them.

Maybe if they had gone the route of the Japanese internment camps during WWII, but I don't know if there was anything other than the "caricature of the enemy" type of propaganda then. There wasn't a "turn in your neighbor and report them" vibe in those (or maybe there was, I just haven't seen any posters like that).

I remember this as box art from one of the video stores my family went to when I was a little kid. It legitimately terrified me, full on nightmare-fuel. I remember I was actually scared to walk down the horror aisles because some of the covers scared the poo poo out of me.

Like this mother fucker right here.



Ugh, who would have thought a TV movie would have given me so many nightmares.

I love how the even the box art tacitly admits the other two tales are poo poo. But "Zuni Fetish Doll" loving terrified me when I first saw it as a kid. It more than offsets the other two stories (which I can't even remember off the top of my head).

I know it's a dumb thing to continue on with, but it still is really uprising people would pronounce it like bi-opic rather than bio-pic. I always assumed the word came from smashing 'biography' and 'picture' together so that is how you would say it.

To turn back to posters, I can't remember how it showed up in my amazon searches but Cherry 2000 has an absolutely killer poster.




The movie seems pretty lovely, though in a way I enjoy, but that poster can't get up on my wall soon enough.

Budget: $10 million
Box office: $14,000

quote:

In the year 2017, the United States has suffered a series of civil insurrections and economic downturns, fragmenting into post-apocalyptic wastelands and limited civilized areas. One of the effects of the economic crisis is a decline in manufacturing, and heavy emphasis on recycling aging 20th Century mechanical equipment. At the same time, robotic technology has made tremendous developments, and female androids (or "gynoids") are used as substitutes for wives. Society has become increasingly bureaucratic and hypersexualized, with the declining human sexual encounters requiring contracts drawn up by lawyers prior to sexual activity.

"gynoids"

That's more evovative of the Brothers Hildebrandt poster, but I still don't like it for some reason.

Did the lawsuit about that ever get resolved? There's a whole thing about some people claiming they own the character even though most of the stories are in the public domain.

It was settled and Doyle's estate "is very pleased", but I don't think any details about the settlement are known.

Del Toro blew three years on a $100+ million adaptation of In The Mountains Of Madness that was ultimately canned because he refused to compromise on anything, after that Silent Hills getting cancelled shortly after it was announced was probably a small mercy.

Like the last one, I get they're trying to recapture the classic Brothers Hildebrandt poster, but it becomes increasingly obvious they have no clue why the original Star Wars poster was so loving good.

Plus lovely photoshop skills don't help. It's not like they didn't have a budget to afford an actual decent artist.

I feel like Terry Crews is too good for this right now, but then I look at his filmography and realize that nah, he's in a lot of lovely stuff. I get that everyone has to do "hey, a paycheque's a paycheque" movies, he just seems to recognize and own that fact in a more self-aware way than others I guess, which is why the Terry Crews brand stays so strong.
He'll be the best thing about this garbage movie.

While there's a self-awareness about him, especially in comedies, I seem to remember reading/hearing an interview with him about how he's "blessed" with a career he never could have imagined for himself. And that every role he takes from the commercials to movies he does wholeheartedly and enthusiastically because he truly is enjoying what he's doing. I think people can see that and respond to that.

I haven't seen any of them, but apparently Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, and especially Daredevil and Jessica Jones are supposed to be better than the marvel movies.

e: which isn't much of a feat

Agents of Shield has been batshit insane this season. In the best possible way. It keeps seeming like there's no way they can top the previous episode, and then they do.

HOWEVER, if you are just starting, I'd highly recommend going to Netflix and suffering through the 1st half of Season 1, enjoy the second half, Season 2 is pretty good. Because Season 3 ain't got no time for introducing new viewers to the characters, explaining motivations developed in the previous seasons, or doing info-dumps to establish the shows universe if they've already covered it.
