Rogue1-and-a-half posted:Okay, so I thought the first trailer looked great and I didn't have the problem with the whole "dude goes evil" thing that Rageaholic Monkey had. I also don't really have a problem with that tagline. But, man, that poster looks utterly stupid. The kid is . . . what exactly? Flipping the sky the bird? Man, that's really hardcore and poo poo! What a badass! Secondly, that is about the lamest "intense face" I've ever seen. Thirdly, that cloud doesn't even make sense with his hand! The cloud's thumb is on the wrong side, isn't it? Whose hand is the cloud mimicking if it's not mimicking his? How hard would that have been to get right? I loved that first trailer, but this one stupid-rear end poster has just squandered every bit of good will I had from the trailer. He's not flipping off the sky, he's flipping us off with the sky. It would be a neat idea except for the backward hand. Too bad more effort wasn't put into it.

I have a suspicion the hand is backwards because someone was worried you can't give people the finger on a commercial poster for public spaces, kind of like the things that happen with guns and the pot leaves on the Harold and Kumar 3D poster.

 I probably wouldn't mind this so much if it wasn't ripping off the Piranha poster.  Also I know it's lame to nit pick a poster but there is no way the two girls wouldn't be able to see the sharks.

As you might have guessed from the title, it has two heads. Anyway, this is an Asylum movie, which means two things: 1) It's plagiarised. 2) It's poo poo.

They will post the sale link on Twitter when it goes online at a random time, usually anywhere from 10am-1pm EST. Their posters always go really fast, so my recommendation is sign up for an account on their site and get to F5ing.

veonenergee posted:New Mondo poster for Drive is pretty much yum: The hot pink colour works well in the film because the garish font and colour contrast the rich blues and yellows of the opening scenes. It tips the hand of the films off centre style and calls back to its European sensibilities. It does not work when its splashed all over the place like a defining element or when its placed against such a mundane look second colour as golden/beige. Also the font used on this poster looks like it belongs to some other movie, maybe the movie the trailer advertised, but certainly not the one everyone fell in love with. Also, the freeway never features in the film so its inclusion in the trailer is baffling. Why isn't he on a film set? Why aren't the elements of the poster separated by something that actually features in the film? Maybe the scorpion, the Los Angeles skyline, something. And... finally, I just don't think that style fits the film at all. The two tone look, the abundance of lines used to make Gosling look almost vectorised from a still. It's a gorgeous looking poster, but its not a good poster for the film Drive.

Rogue1-and-a-half posted:Arguably? There's no doubt that Chazz Palminteri is cheaper than Rob Lowe, but I'd say he's more talented, if typecast. Similarly with Louis CK, who is undoubtedly more talented than David Spade, but I'm not sure if he would have cost more when those movies were made.

Vagabundo posted:There's no doubt that Chazz Palminteri is cheaper than Rob Lowe You know, I was kind of just being facetious (and mainly thinking about the talent side of the equation and not the pricing side), but you just pointing out the above kind of pisses me off. Because you're totally right and what kind of world is it where Chazz Palminteri is cheaper than Rob Lowe? A stupid, stupid world. Palminteri has put in some great performances; he was fantastic way back in A Bronx Tale, for instance. Rob Lowe, on the other hand, can, uh, do vapid well, but then he's purty, so bring out the big bucks! Palminteri needs better movies is the main thing, I suppose.

Everyone seems either disappointed or amused at the guy in the coffin not being dead. "Oh, that guy. This is the 5th time he did this!" Maybe the guy in the foreground is a ghost who haunts the funeral parlour and is sick of this poo poo. "This is the 5th time this happens. gently caress it. Hey everyone, my head comes off, because I'm actually a ghost. Boo!" At least, that is the movie I'm hoping for based on this poster.

Not a movie, but the UK cover of Charlie Stross's Halting State does something similar. I'd link it, but I don't have time to put it on imgur and I'm not sure if a direct link would contravene the image leeching rules. A quick Google Images search will find it easily enough, though.

It's probably the same pair of custom "hot girl legs and butt", I'm pretty sure they only slapped a different bikini.

That's what I figured it was - slap on a different bikini and play with the shadows a bit, copy & paste bits and pieces from the other poster and call it a day. If they're happy putting the same bikini top and recycling the hands from the other poster, why stop there?

Much like a blowfish inflates itself to scare away predators, the cover to "Legend of the Sea" does a wonderful job scaring off adults and children alike (Though studies have shown that the sight of Rob Schneider's name is actually a stronger deterrent than a set of sharpened spines). I personally love the lossy compression on the main character of the film, compared to the crisp secondary characters he shares the box with. The only other thing as pixelated as him seems to be the background. EDIT: Posting that reminded me of another lovely animated movie with animals on the cover. I'm pretty sure it was intended as some sort of religious propaganda film aimed at children, but the problem with the poster is that holy poo poo what is wrong with their faces sweet mother of god  The important thing to remember in this sort of situation is that the animals are more afraid of you than you are of thJESUS CHRIST WHAT THE gently caress IS WRONG WITH THEIR FACES

It's weird seeing posters/cover art for animated movies without "from the creators of ..." plastered over it. How hard can it really be to find an executive producer or screen writer who's associated with something that did well?
