Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.

Yeah, I think The Stunt Man's a good movie, but it's definitely not the one advertised by that poster.

How so? Maybe if it's there gratuitously, but if the man is a womanizer and that's what the movie is about, it's pretty fitting. Hell, even if he's not, how is showing two people possibly having sex sexist? I think the ones where it's a random shot of a girls legs and rear end in the foreground despite what the movie is actually about are the sexist ones.

Perhaps because its depicting women as holes/legs for men to emotionlessly use? The way the man is staring into the camera doesn't make it look like he's very engaged with the woman he's "loving".

I never said "loving." And yeah, he's not engaged, but the woman seems to be, with her legs tossed into the air like that. Maybe he's the one being used here, as he doesn't seem to be getting any enjoyment out of the whole affair. More likely, i think that the movie is probably about some rear end in a top hat who does think exactly what you said there, and that's why the poster is fitting.

That's the entire point though. It's not condone the imagery just because it uses it.

It kind of is though. Theres no hint on the poster that the man isn't going to be the morally good protagonist of the film. The woman doesn't even have an identity, shes just a pair of legs. We'll have to see the movie to be sure but I would definitely call this sexist advertising.

The Inglourious Basterds posters had Hakenkreuze on them, was that Nazi propaganda...?
You can't really fault posters for the themes of the respective movie, so please don't derail the thread with stupid arguments about those.

If it was added gratuitously it would be different, but the trailer of Les Infidèles I just watched made it seem pretty fitting.

Vagabundo posted:

If they're happy putting the same bikini top and recycling the hands from the other poster, why stop there?
No doubt they've lifted the girls from somewhere, but it's just not the one from the Piranha poster.

I love for that last one that they just put some random demon that doesn't resemble anything in the actual film on it. Also, yeah, the Hellraiser 3 one there is recycled from the original. If you've ever seen Hellraiser 3, you will know that creativity and being...well...good, were not exactly in that movies wheelhouse.

Much like a blowfish inflates itself to scare away predators, the cover to "Legend of the Sea" does a wonderful job scaring off adults and children alike (Though studies have shown that the sight of Rob Schneider's name is actually a stronger deterrent than a set of sharpened spines).

I wouldn't say it's great, but I don't see much wrong with this apart from the low quality source images of the otherwise not too bad renders the designer had to work with (and Rob Schneider of course) and it's a perfectly okay cover for a kids movie. You probably wouldn't even notice the compression on the printed cover unless you hold it way too close to your face.

If I'd be looking to buy a dvd for a kid I could see myself picking it up for a serious closer look compared to lazy looking stuff like this:





Even the Lion of Judah cover looks pretty good - compared to the horrors that await inside...

I can't be bothered to track it down right now, but I'll try and get a pic of it tomorrow. It's basically the same principle as when Time Magazine named "You" as Person of the Year, so it's going to be a lot more affecting in person. It's eyecatching and effective, but admittedly told you gently caress all about the film itself.

Are you sure? Because that naked devil behind the camera sure looks like Peter O'Toole. The quote comes from him, too. I think it's a good abstraction of what goes on in that film.

I like this much better than the "semen on the woman's back" one. God, that was gross.

I'm curious, though, about the reflective one mentioned in Mr. Squishy's post.

Okay. This is a Christian movie, I guess set in the times of Christ, right? I say this because there are crosses up there in the main poster,and that's loving creepy.It means there's people dying in slow and painful agony up there.

That's probably the Golgotha and it's probably Jesus up there dying.

Also was Judah taken to be sacrificed? Because that's the vibe I was getting from that.
