The badly translated synopsis at imdb makes me want to see this even more than the poster does.IMDB posted:The action takes place shortly after the end of the Second World War in the Siberian hinterland, among Russians and Germans with damaged personal stories and a strange transformation: the victors seem to be crawling into the skins of the defeated, and vice versa. Ignat, is the embodiment of the larger-than-life image of the Soviet victorious warrior who, in fact, proves to be shell-shocked, sick and broken, although not completely destroyed. Trains become fetish for the heroes of the film, and speed becomes a mania; they virtually become one with their steam engines, while the machines take on human names. The heroes set up an almost fatal race in the Siberian forest, risking their own lives and those of others.

Same deal with the trailer. No mention of robots whatsoever. But I do love how the trailer replicates the image from the poster.

Teenage Fansub posted:Why does every poster nowdays have to stitch bodyparts together? When was the last time anyone actually did a dedicated photoshoot for a movie poster? Like the guy said, the negotiations over the specifics in the poster aren't done until way after the end of principal photography. By that point, it's just cheaper and more convenient to manipulate the photos you already have rather than having to re-wrangle all of the actors to come in for a photoshoot which would likely end up getting manipulated later anyway. Marketing, contractual obligations, ratings considerations, and the egos involved in large productions will never allow this stuff to be that easy.

I like how they didn't even attempt to roboticize the voice to actually make it feel like it's coming from the robot. It sounds more like someone doing a lovely Jerry Lewis impression as an alternate commentary track on the DVD.

Since 40% of Lifeforce consists of Mathilda May's bare breasts, that's all I really remember aside from the scene where Steve Railsback is hamming it up, hilariously trying to resist making out with Patrick Stewart on an operating table (who is possessed by Mathida May, who is a space vampire? It's been a while). This led me to look up Mathilda May on imdb. I learned that she also starred in a film appropriately titled "The Tit & the Moon". It's about a 9 year old boy who is jealous of his new baby brother getting all of his mom's breast-attention. So, he wishes upon the moon to bring him the perfect pair of lactating breasts that he can call his very own. Enter Mathilda May's breasts. I then saw the UK DVD cover and laughed for 5 minutes.   Maybe this movie is well known/regarded and I've been out of the loop, but what the hell? Has anyone seen this? Is it as hilariously insane as it seems?

Tewratomeh posted:I think it's just a side effect of most of those posters being created in a vector art program. Basically they're not bothering to blend the colors together, and I've no idea if that's a deliberate stylistic choice or they just can't be bothered to touch it up in Photoshop (or, god forbid, actually hand paint a poster on physical paper or canvas). I want to say the shading issue has to do with the limitations of the screenprinting process. A lot of screenprints only use 3-6 colors, either for artistic intent or to keep them within a certain ink budget, which can make otherwise detailed shadow delineation look splotchy. The right artist who works with the medium can make it work well (using a less detailed graphic-stencil style, or using halftone dots for shadow gradients), but otherwise it can often just come out looking like a downgraded image. If these were giclée inkjet prints, I'd imagine you could probably retain detail at a minimal price, but it's essentially like buying any reprinted poster from an online shop, though the paper stock is usually pretty good. With screenprints, it seems you're getting a handmade product that is more labor intensive and individualized, at the potential cost of that detail. This is just a somewhat-educated guess, though, so somebody feel free to rip this to shreds.

feedmyleg posted:Feel free to tell me I'm way off base here, because it's quite likely, but while I love a lot about this it just seems so muted and drab compared to the scene in the film. The coloring really doesn't suit the interesting line work and composition. I'm no colorist, but punching up the vibrance and giving the neon and light sources a glow feels like it really helps. Like the guy below you said, the silver metallic rain definitely adds to the picture, which is absent in the promo pic that I posted. Here's an actual pic, which gives you an idea of what it's like in person.  While it isn't as vibrant as your modified pic, it's better than the promo pic. However, I don't know how well one could achieve the neon glow in screenprints (though as SMG has pointed out, there's vastly more artistic wiggle-room than I thought), which would be an effect that is admittedly more representative of the actual scene, so I'll have to defer to those better informed. It works well enough for me. The "tears in rain" print also has metallic ink rain, and they're pretty nice companion pieces.

The only movies I've ever left early are Diary of the Dead and Benji the Hunted. Just chiming in to say that Diary of the Dead is the worst thing I've seen in a movie theater, and I saw Batman & Robin in a movie theater.

Palmersaurus posted:It came from Mondo: This hideous poster is really indicative of Graham Erwin's style. Sometimes it works out alright:   Other times, like the 'Caddyshack' poster, or the following, it's just an unattractive mess:   That last one is for 'Step Brothers', by the way. So essentially, dude should just stick to animated films and horror.

ruddiger posted:Nah, I get the Frighteners reference (and the NOES one), and it's not a poster for The Stuff that I'm remembering either. gently caress. It's going to bug the hell out of me. Closest I can think of in the style of what I'm remembering is the 2015 poster for We Are Still Here, but that's not the specific one I'm thinking of either. This most reminds me of the posters for Fright Night and Return of the Living Dead II.

That naked lady skull is originally from a photo by Dali. Maybe MGM didn't/couldn't give them the rights to the imagery. I like the new concept, it incorporates psychology, the well known moth imagery, and blood. It just has the unfortunate job of replacing one of the most recognizable posters of all time.
