Not only that, but I get unreasonably angry about almost every fake movie poster I see. Especially when it's for sale. Make some original artwork, people. :wtc:

Minimalist posters seem to be pretty much made by people who fancy themselves as 'creative' but lacking in the technical skill required to actually create any artwork.

ok I didn't actually make it

I took this fantastic idea and made a timeless art out of it.

I was going to complain about how absurdly blunt that Master poster's visual metaphor was until I realised I didn't actually understand it.

You talking Amy Adams' hand, yeah?

Yeah. At first I thought 'well that's really obvious' but trying to put it into words, if the idea is that she's the one secretly running the show why is her hand clearly visible and in contact with Lancaster? It'd need to have her visible but her the fact that she's guiding him hidden. But I don't know how you'd draw that.

I'm not really keen because the metaphor is either a) too obvious (she's the power behind the throne, his 'right hand!') or b) doesn't really work. That and the fact that the existence of the film's actual main character is an irrelevance to the poster.

Also http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1267379/?ref_=sr_2. For some reason people began to make tie-in movies to games instead of the other way around

It was an EA initiative for a while, to make crappy animes of all their games. They did Dragon Age as well.

What is it about "Jurassic Park" that so many fan posters are terrible?

The sheer incongruity of this poster is amazing (and hilarious).

These fan poster people should start doing posters for imaginary films, that way they won't suffer from their usual number one problem of being terrible representations of the films in question.

What bothers me about it is that Rodriguez is basically just rehashing a gag that he used over 15 years ago in From Dusk Till Dawn.

I thought that the fim he'd made a couple of years ago was pretty well-received? A small scale character thing, with monsters.

I hate this one. It's a movie, not a board game. There are people in it, not plastic pieces.


This I quite like but I have absolutely no idea why it's in portrait orientation other than it's maker thinks that whitespace make everything totally arty. Works fine in landscape:

Spielberg was apparently supposed to do something a little more daring but then the whole accident thing happened and to avoid further controversy he just went for a middle of the road safe segment.

Wasn't he supposed to do 'The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street'? In my opinion the best episode of the original series, and he swapped instead for a really rather crappy one. Probably a mistake putting it second as well since it really grinds the film to a halt before we even get to the best two stories.

Not only was that funny but it's one of the only mock '80s things I've seen that did not suck.

It helps that they seem to have actually referenced 80s cartoons rather than just throwing in every 80s meme regardless of any actual accuracy.

Which might be solved if they didn't make everything such a limited run.

Here's the thing. I get that running those prints cost them money so they can't run a lot, but surely the amount they sell would account for that? Say they make 200 that sell out in a minute, why not make 500?

It just seems poor business sense to not provide more of what the customer wants.

It's deliberate artificial scarcity, the illusion of unobtainability is responsible for Mondo's reputation. If they were widely available, people wouldn't be talking about them so much and they wouldn't be able to sell them for as much as they do (even though they're cheap next to the sell-on price) and they wouldn't be able to attract the 'best' artists.

What strikes me about these three in particular is how clean and well-ordered they are. I know that's a minimalist thing but have these people even seen the movie? Precise placement and sharp lines is the last place I'd go for making a Fear & Loathing poster.

Add me to the never found Ferrell funny club. Ever since SNL I've just found him obnoxious and loud, and his entire shtick is just "LOL RANDOM" style humor. He also plays the same character in every comedy he's in, and it wasn't funny the first time, and it's especially not funny the tenth.

Agree on Ferrell in anything that isn't Anchorman. But Anchorman is a masterpiece.

Actually it wasn't supposed to be. The original plan was for them to hype Michael Keaton as the star all summer, commercials, interviews, previews, the whole nine yards, and then kill him off 10 minutes into the show. Remember when the guy got sucked into the engine? That was supposed to be him.

The story I head was that he was originally going to be Jack and since he didn't want to commit to a series his character would die at the end of the pilot and Kate would become the 'leader' of the group. They changed it up when he didn't take the role and Matthew Fox was cast instead.

I've heard this argument before, but isn't the first thing Robert Patrick does in that movie murder a cop?

You don't see that he kills the cop, just see him do what looks like a punch to the stomachs in a darkly lit environment. Obviously he's stabbing him but it doesn't look that way if you don't necessarily know he's the bad guy.
