Doctor Bishop posted:Original poster for comparison/because it's loving awesome. Goddamn, that poster is something. My brother used to have it on his wall, though he'd never seen the movie. When the Peter Jackson LotR movies started coming out, I wanted to check it out, so I went to the videostore and ordered it on VHS. The guy helping me was pretty confused when I emphasized that I wanted the cartoon version. If only he could've warned me that it was kind of garbage beyond the novelty of seeing it once.

Vintersorg posted:They serve no purpose except to trick people out of the know into watching and buying their films. Not that everything should be high art but at least loving try to making something good. I watched their Pacific Rim ripoff just to see how bad it could be and it was just so loving lazy and embarrassing. Usually someone will say in the end it's about a paycheque - but how much can one even make from these things? $10k? It's all garbage and no one is laughing with them. Paranormal Entity and (especially) 100 Ghost Street are actually totally excellent. I also support Rise of the Zombies, which plays out like a Fulci film.

While I'm sure that he probably does think those things, trashing it so much in interviews and commentaries is absolutely a PR move to keep up a bad-boy image and maintain some real actor cred.

I've spoken to people who've met Robert Pattinson; The guy is views Edward and Twilight as wish fulfillment - which is precisely what it is, so you can't fault him for being inaccurate.

To be doubly fair, there are whole swathes of fiction that are unabashedly wish fulfillment, some are just better executed than others. And even ones that aren't that great, like Conan or The Beastmaster, we tend to look upon more warmly as long as they aren't marketed to teen girls.

Darthemed posted:Which part is using the style of the modern films? It's using the old font, and the image is hand-drawn, a style I don't recall popping up in any of the live-action promo material. And how confusing can it be if it says "Original Animated Classic" right there on the cover? Does that mean that the style of the modern films equals the brushed red background? The gold lettering is the signature of the movies.

A show like that is full of rich, visually astounding images...and they only chose the most obvious ones, and made them into the most basic, dullest looking posters.

I've never read a comic and I'm more excited about that than I was about The Avengers. The Nolan Batman movies were probably the only other comic book movies I actively anticipated. I like stupid fantasy with decent humor and action I can understand (anti-Transformers) and the trailer seems to show that.

Do they really need to remind people that Marvel brought us all those other Marvel films? Gotta throw out other popular franchise names for those who don't know what GotG is, I guess. Good poster, though.

I'd never heard of Guardians of the Galaxy before this movie. If I see that poster I'm thinking they're seriously trying to sell me a comic book superhero movie with a loving raccoon in it. The "You're Welcome", however, let's me know that it's all kind of in jest and light fare no matter how serious the pose is.
