I do like the design of that Statham one, but cutting off the top of his head is kind of a composition no-no, I think. Your brain tries to extend/finish the image of the head in weird ways when that happens. Or at least, that's what my brain is doing right now.

Echo Chamber posted:One thing I brought up in the last thread that I personally have a disdain for in posters, depsite being less of a new trend but an ongoing practice, are the "character spotlight" posters. We've seen plenty of them for superhero movies. Fantasy movies do this, in order to evoke the "Oh my god! It's that supporting character from the book I read" feeling. There some of them for heist movies. And action movies with emphasis on individuals in the team. "The Leader. The Veteran. The Thief. The Insider. The Rogue. The token minority and/or woman." Yeah, this is definitely one of the many techniques that movie advertisements use to try to make you accept a film as a Significant Canonical Cultural Event. It's not about whether anyone actually gives a poo poo about the ensemble cast, it's about creating the perception that the rest of the world cares about the ensemble cast. See also: teaser trailers that show only a logo.

Origami Dali posted:The badly translated synopsis at imdb makes me want to see this even more than the poster does. This synopsis is probably mostly metaphor and analysis, but I want to believe that it's literally about transhumanist Russian supermen melding with their trains and battling against body-snatchers.

I barely had the patience to put up with On The Road when I read it. The style kind of repulsed me to the point where I don't think I could offer a fair analysis, but I recall it being quite the self-centred ramble. It's definitely not the kind of story that's built around having a big recognizable ensemble cast (the vast majority of characters only drift through the narrative for brief segments), so the character posters feel like a complete misfire.

1stGear posted:I can't isolate what about the Catwoman costume is so terrible. I think its the goggles or maybe its just than Anne Hathaway is behind them. This marketing is giving me a terrible feeling that DKR is going to be real bad and that would pretty much ruin my summer. The key is to only let it ruin three hours of your summer.

I remember hearing that the movie's about a pubcrawl, so I imagine that's the route, with the titular pub being the final stop.

Young Freud posted:Well, Wright's been calling this the final "flavor" of the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, in which the flavor of the Cornetto ice cream the main character buys signifies the theme of the film. In Shaun of the Dead, it was red strawberry, which emphasized the gore and color of blood. In Hot Fuzz, it was the original blue Cornetto, symbolizing the police. Here, it's going to be green mint-chocolate chip which signifies science fiction. I've seen that speculation before, but Wikipedia's source link only mentions the cornetto flavour, not what it would mean. Regardless, that doesn't contradict pubcrawl.

Geekboy posted:I've basically started to hate all of these secondary market posters. The whole concept irritates me, because why would I buy something mocked up as the film's poster when it has no actual place in its promotional history? You're not buying the movie's poster, you're buying "Hey guys what if this was the movie's poster?". It's masturbatory and it's presumptuous on the part of the artist, and that's before you even get into the half-assed minimalism and painful attempts to be Saul Bass. I buy art prints, and maybe I'd buy an actual poster from a film, but I will never ever buy any print in this asinine format.

penismightier posted:Who on the entire planet doesn't like Will Smith?? I saw someone (possibly a Family Guy character) point out that he says "Aw hell naw" frequently in films and television. Having absorbed this teasing observation, my brain has combined it with my powerful need to vocalize strong opinions, and it has transformed into a festering (if insincere) contrarian hatred for the man.
