JordanKai posted:The best (worst) part of this poster is the "Inspired by True Events" tagline; you'd expect the events to be something hosed up, but here's what "inspired" the writer/director: Bryan Bertino posted:As a kid, I lived in a house on a street in the middle of nowhere. One night, while our parents were out, somebody knocked on the front door and my little sister answered it. At the door were some people asking for somebody who didn't live there. We later found out that these people were knocking on doors on the area and, if no one was home, breaking into the houses. He was inspired by an extremely common burglar tactic to produce a movie in which fur-suited killers murder people! For some reason this reminds me of another quote... Mitch Hedberg posted:I like when they say a movie is inspired by a true story, because that's weird; it means the movie is not a true story, it was just inspired by a true story. Like, hey Mitch, did you hear the story about that lady who drove her children into the river and they all drowned? Yes I did, and it inspired me to write a movie about a gorilla!

Coffee And Pie posted:Where did you get "fur-suited" from? You can see in this poster everyone's wearing pretty normal clothes: I could have sworn one of them was dressed in a bunny outfit or at least had a bunny mask and some kind of furry outfit... Perhaps my brain has combined this and Donnie Darko into some kind of movie stew

Vagabundo posted:Despite being an obvious photoshop, nothing really stands out as being wrong. The limbs all look like they belong to the appropriate person, the heads look to be about the right size and the highly processed, glossy look just feels like it belongs considering the subject matter of the poster. The Engrishy tagline is more damning than any of the Photoshopping... "In seventies, no one could have expected a swedish band to conquer the world"

Shanty posted:Is that a Japanese configuration? I hope this is a joke post, but if not... no, the Betamax was a VHS competitor (think Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD) developed by Sony which, while not popular with consumers, has continued to have a life long after VHS died due to its high quality and use in video production.

Robert Denby posted:It's time again to look at how posters can get increasingly worse as the movie gets closer to release. Let's look at "Apart" for today's example! One has to wonder which poster(s) is most appropriate for the movie... if it's some Twilight-esque YA flick, then I'd rather it not be marketed like Never Let Me Go because I probably don't want to see it. If that's the case then the last poster is actually getting more to where it should have been in the first place. [edit] Just watched the trailer and I'm not sure which of them would be appropriate. testtubebaby fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Mar 27, 2012 |

kiimo posted:Also since I haven't created that trailer thread yet, please enjoy our new trailer just released just now for Ben Affleck's Argo... I saw this on another site and it looks pretty good, but the movie is giving me a strange vibe with its mix of deadly seriousness and Ocean's-esque comedy... almost something like the feeling I got while watching The Host and other Korean films. What has me fully torqued is the trailer for End of Watch which has just shot to my most anticipated movie of the year. Looking forward to the trailer thread!

Dissapointed Owl posted:Holy poo poo, it's a The Thing with Two Heads remake!  quote:A racist cop receives a heart transplant from a black lawyer he hates, who returns as a ghost to ask the cop to help take down the men who murdered him. quote:A rich but racist man is dying and hatches an elaborate scheme for transplanting his head onto another man's body. His health deteriorates rapidly, and doctors are forced to transplant his head onto the only available candidate: a black man from death row. Well, not exactly but close enough!

Young Freud posted:It took me a bit to realize what this movie was (I haven't seen the trailer). This is the movie about the returning ad exec who sees aliens psychically feeding on people's anxieties driven by advertising, so he sets out to create a war between them by setting brand against brand? That appears to be the gist of it, yea.

Despite the alleged popularity of extreme sports in the late 80's and 90's, the number of action movies based on them is vanishingly small. Goddamnit... I was scrolling through the responses thinking to myself, "Aha, I'm going to get to bust out some sweet Gleaming the Cube references" and then you had to go and gently caress it up  It also had a good poster campaign:
