Jedit posted:Getting back to discussion of actual movie posters, does anyone know who painted this one? It doesn't look like Greg and Tim Hildebrandt and I don't think it's Struzan either. Wikipedia says Boris Vallejo. Also says he did the Aqua Teen Hunger Force one as well.

Not a poster, but the boxart for Criterion's Repo Man release is just stellar:

I get that the Bullet to the Head poster is a really typical and boring collage of action movie things, but the only thing technically wrong with it is that woman's head not matching her body at all. It's a pretty major issue but otherwise it's an all right poster.

Stallone's face is just looking terrible in general these days. As much as he's trying to deny it he's well into "old man" territory.

Someone mentioned "Nothing But Trouble" earlier and while the original poster is a good match for the movie (lovely) I found there is a Boris style alternative one that I've never seen.

The Sherrif monologue was really the stand out part for me. The film has some interesting ideas, but in the end its hurt by awful pacing.

A while back, we did an episode on it - Yeah, the inventiveness of its concept (and all of the metafictional stuff) doesn't really translate, and it just ends up being supremely boring. Instead of being self-aware, it becomes self-conscious.

No but really it's not untrue what people are saying in my humble opinion that does not reflect the views of Warner Bros, Silver Pictures or Dark Castle. We had a good poster and he saw some European fan art and wanted us to emulate the style. Seriously. Like, going for a hybrid between painted retro 80s art and photography. We made this first and it is better but still not great....

Reading the wikipedia synopsis and realizing that it isn't a post-apocalyptic comedy and is instead some sort of proto-Saw trap-horror comedy thing was a bizarre experience. What a bizarre sounding film.

kiimo, knowing who the 'client' probably is (Stallone), you should never feel bad about those posters. This is the guy who tried to get an author to remove his name from a novel that a movie he starred in was loosely based on, so that he could claim sole credit for the concept.

I saw Nothing But Trouble in the theater because it had Digital Underground in it. It is terrible and then suddenly makes you think you're on crazy pills.

As one of the few people in existence who completely and sincerely loves Nothing But Trouble, I have to say that that poster is loving amazing. It's like it was painted specifically for the movie's handful of fans.

I said we had a good one sheet but that is not what I was talking about. The one I was talking about was scrapped and buried along with all the other great art that never sees the light of day once the execs and legal team and publicists get through with it. .

Nothing But Trouble is probably the most bizarre movie I've ever seen. It's totally unique, there's really no movie like it. I won't disagree with people who say it sucks but I definitely think everyone should watch it, it's quite an experience. Content: I've always loved the poster for Blazing Saddles. It's such a cool design and I love the little touches that people may miss at first glance like the microphone and "Hi I'm Mel, trust me" Ez fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Jan 18, 2013 |
