Dissapointed Owl posted:Maybe not the most obvious example of a terrible poster, but I come across this one almost daily and it's absolutely godawful. This is pretty awful. It looks very much like the mainstream DVD cover version, since I doubt audiences would have got the gestalt reference of the initial poster... See how the Freud and Jung are merging together, almost to become some sort of third being with Keira Knightly. The desaturation also gives a supernatural quality to the poster, but it works within the context of the film. Also, I'm pretty sure this is a reference to an earlier Cronenberg film...

See, even though I'm not a fan of this one either, at least it's trying to say something. It's implying something. Bringing something to the table. That other one is just WATCH THESE ACTORS IN A MOVIE! POSSIBLY A PERIOD PIECE?!

Yeah, it could be a lot better, but it seems far more cerebral than the other one. Also, I'm not even sure if you could imply "period piece" from the first poster posted, because of Knightly's up do and lack of identifiable clothing. She looks more like classy call girl and Mortensen and Fassbinder are her johns.

Hah, nice continuation of the other Poster Thread, it was getting pretty general, so it was a good idea to have a new OP.BullChicken posted:So what do people think of the new JDatE poster? I kind of like it but thought they could have used something more interesting. I think this is one of those Movies in which the poster could just outright be the title of the movie with nothing behind the text, but that's a pretty good one too.

Mister Chief posted:The UK cover is the best and the one I'll be ordering since Amazon UK always have the cheapest blu-rays and I'll probably be picking up a few other titles. The fact that the distributors used the "Look at how so goddamn 80's I am!" neon pink text really does help.

Arkane posted:While I'm posting stuff I own, this one for Inglourious Basterds is my favorite: http://ibraheemyoussef.com/ibraheemshop/images/inglourious.jpg This is exactly why people hate faux-minimalist posters. The entire poster is just a sly in-joke for people who have seen the movie, it doesn't tell you anything about the film itself or represent the tones and themes and in it. I think one of the few times I've seen abstract in-jokey posters work is when it's a poster for an old, classic film rather than a recent release. When TCM did modern posters for classic films a few years ago their take on Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was pretty great:

OK, I understand your point. But why would I need the poster to tell me anything from the movie? I've seen the movie. It's on a wall in my house, and it *looks* drat cool As far as what it represents...it represents one of the best moments in one of the best scenes in the movie.

Speaking of posters, I was very surprised when I walked past a local movie theater and saw Rooney Mara's tits on the poster for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Didn't expect that at all.

So are we in approval of the new Batman film's posters or not? And here's a fan-made posters of what the film would be if Riddler was the villain, just because I loving love the Riddler:

I think this one's very cool. It's striking and unique, doesn't have a title (and doesn't need one), and gets across the idea that "everything's falling apart."

I loves me some Olly Moss. Just wanted to share one of his recent movie posters he did for My Neighbor Totoro. Managed to snag one of the regular versions, they're taking their sweet time getting it shipped (ordered before Christmas...), but I can't wait to get it framed: Regular Variant Be sure to click for big to see the Catbus in the background
