So does the Punisher go after a snuff film ring or something in this movie?

Robert Denby posted:To be fair, the first one came out a year before "Up in the Air", and I'd assume that like most actors in that series, she was contracted to appear in all of them. Plus, she's probably gotten a shitload of money out of it, given how much the budget for those movies inflated over time, plus the residuals these movies will get once they play on TV a billion times. As crappy of a story the series is, and how cheesy it is, the producers/studios made bank on the rabid fans from just theater releases. The series cost 265,000,000 to make, and have made $2.5B that's a really good return on investment regardless if the movies sucked according to most people.

I think they were filming the second one while they filmed Up in The Air or close enough because I remember George Clooney making fun of her for being in Twilight. I'm pretty sure everyone involved with Twilight knows how terrible they are and just rolls with it. Especially Pattison. And I still have no loving clue how Dakota Fanning ended in them.

I've been looking up Polish movie posters, and I liked this one enough to buy a cheap reprint of it. I like the style and its of my favorite Kurosawa movie, I'd like to frame it at some point...

Someone's gone to the effort of plotting colour trends in movie posters since 1914.

I'm less interested int he gradual shift from about 80/20 warm/cold to aobut 50/50, and more interested in the weird one-year outliers where suddenly it's a whole different distribution (1919, 1920, 1977, 1980, etc.) Not entirely sure what happened in those - I'm guessing big releases that caused a bunch of copycats?

Well, I can't really tell what happened in 1919-1920 (best-selling film that year was The Miracle Man, but much of it is now lost) but I know that 1977 is when Star Wars was released. I mean, look how blue this is...

QuoProQuid posted:Is there any reason as to why green and purple have never been popular colours? Non-primary colors as well as being likely associated with illness and poison when used together, I think. Edit: gently caress if I know. I did a quick internet search and apparently green and purple are natural colors. It may have to do with vibrancy and contrast. Some other stuff I'm reading is that purple and green is a Victorian color combination, used in advertising back then. Edit 2: Really, for maximum contrast, you want purple and yellow or green and red. Young Freud fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Jun 16, 2012 |

Purple and green were commonly used as colors for super villains in comic books. 60's Marvel is probably most notorious for it. Just had that conversation with my dad yesterday. It's the sort of thing you don't really notice until someone mentions it.

The Joker, Lex Luthors power armor, The Parasite, Brainiac, etc. It's because all the heroes were primary colors, red, yellow, blue, so making the villains purple and green was a simple visual shorthand.

Stan Lee and Stan Goldberg butted heads on his original color though so maybe I'm fighting myself here.

He was originally supposed to be grey, but then there was a colorist error in the 2nd or 3rd issue and he turned green, and they ran with it.

So during halftime at yesterday's football match I had the unpleasant misfortune of seeing a tv ad for Sandler's latest movie and noticed that they actually used tweets as review blurbs. Next we'll posters that allow for realtime display of tweets mentioning the movie.

Tweets must be a godsend for marketing people. Making a few fake Twitter accounts and writing glowing tweets about your product and being on the golf course my noon instead of the days of writing fake testimonials and staging fake man-on-the-street interviews.

TheJoker138 posted:If they can't filter them to only show the good ones, this will be the best thing to ever happen. There was some Mass Effect 3 thing that collected mentions of the game on Twitter and a few other places and collaged them together. They anticipated that people would be overwhelmingly positive, so there was no filter or oversight for what went up. Problem was, internet response to the game quickly turned extremely negative and blew up in their face. For a while, you'd see the internet, in all it's hyperbolic glory, declaring "WORST GAME EVER" on their automatic ad.
