That's exactly why I like it-- it looks like an old-school pulp horror poster.

I will personally defenestrate anyone who speaks ill of Elizabeth Banks. She is the prettiest, sweetest and at the same time dirtiest person I have ever met IRL.

Anna Kendrick is so great -- that movie is going to be terrible though. And it will make a fuckton of money based on the fact that Facebook is now Babybook.

I don't see what's good about this poster. It looks like a bad Photoshop job, granted, it's not the usual bad Photoshop job, but it's still bad. Filter upon filter with no sense of layout.

Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.

Aside from that, I get the idea of making character posters since it has a lot of big names, but none of the quotes are either funny or tell you anything about the character.

They make the posters look really unbalanced too. There's all this negative space with just a tiny box of text to occupy it, and it winds up looking weird.

What. The. gently caress?

An instantly recognisable, arguably iconic poster, and they replace it with that?

I feel like they guess they have to do a new cover when they do a new edition of a DVD, just so nobody gets confused and you can pick out the latest/best/preferred release, and for all the early releases they just used the poster, so now they have to make things up and they're not very good at it.

The vibe I get from those Expecting posters is that the film makers are trying to make a raunchy "chick-flick" with posters aimed at getting males to see the films (ie the quotes about racks and being horny). It seem's a bit like pandering but not any more than other posters. I just hope it isn't raunchy for raunchy sake (pretty much saying Bridesmaids made a poo poo ton of money so lets do that again).

Comedy option: Here is a pandering poster done right:

All the Sin City posters were pretty great. I have the one that's all red, with Marv walking with his back towards the viewer, that says "Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything...anything" in the same boxes that one has. It was slick looking.

As per my previous post, I like illustrated posters and minimalist posters (done right). Mondo's collective of posters from various artists are loving awesome in that regard. Saw someone post the My Neighbor Totoro variants from Olly Moss, but really, Mondo's whole archive of movie posters is pretty drat great. [link]

On some level I think it's kind of admirable to try and convince people that being pregnant doesn't make you a sexless blob that should be locked in a padded room for 9 months, but then they do it by objectifying pregnant women :doh:

When I saw this the first time I thought, well that's pretty clever, that's also something pretty much every adult deals with and instantly recognizes.

Then I tried to describe it to my boss and when I said the words outloud "It's the title Shame spelled out on a girl's back in cum" I realized that this poster is pretty much filth.

I think he meant the fully uncut, 4 hour long, one movie edition of Kill Bill, called "The Whole Bloody Affair." I thought I heard about it being released in Japan a while ago, but other than that, nothing :(

That screening wasn't even the whole bloody affair. It was just the Japanese cut of Kill Bill 1 and Kill Bill 2 shown back to back. If the real whole bloody affair is ever completed it is supposed to be one seamless film with new animated sequences.

About 4 years ago, Amazon.com had a page up for The Whole Bloody Affair on DVD. They even had a picture of the cover, and a release date. You could pre-order it. Then that day came and went, and...nothing. No announcement of cancellation, no announcement of it getting pushed back, no explanation as to why it was ever put up in the first place if it was the DVD equivalent to vaporware, nothing. I'm still mad about it.

quote:

Excerpt from What I’d Expect if I Were Expecting, Chapter 1: Could I Be Pregnant?

…After months and months of not getting my period and being all fat, I began to wonder, could I be pregnant? It was the last thing I expected——me??? pregnant???– but the signs were all there. Unprotected sex some months before? Check. Morning sickness? Try morning, afternoon and evening sickness! Weird cravings? I’d eaten a pencil and two dry erase boards only moments before. My doctor pointing out the fetal heart rate on the fetal heart rate monitor? I made a mental note to pick up a pregnancy test on my way home from the bar…

Upcoming chapters include:

“What’s Up With My Areolas?”

“I Hope They Serve Ice Chips In Hell”

“What Do You Mean I Can’t Give Birth Underwater Surrounded By Dolphins?”

I thought part of the deal the Weinstiens signed was that they got to keep the full rights to "Kill Bill" mostly because of possible sequels but also because of the director's cut? Could be wrong though.

You are partially right.

When the Weinsteins split from Miramax, part of the deal was that Miramax would keep the rights to Vol 1 & 2 while The Weinstein Company would get the rights to The Whole Bloody Affair. The rumor was that they were planning to theatrically re-release it some time after Grindhouse was released (but Grindhouse tanking killed that idea)

In early 2011, they screened the Cannes cut, at New Beverly Cinema, which is basically The Whole Bloody Affair with hard French subs and without the new anime sequence Tarantino was talking about in 2009.
