 Maybe me dumb, but I didn't know that was a word. I had to look it up to be sure. I can't tell if I like that or hate it.

Thanks for the link! I like those posters. That last poster is Jinx, who I'm surprised they put in one but am glad they did.

Yeah, I'm also not a fan of heads being cropped off in posters. It's not that it disturbs me, I just don't find it interesting at all. Maybe it's not meant to be anything stylistic but it's kind of lame if it is. At least it's not like the cropped half-face thing.

Nothing beats the three episode arc that the Nissan Rogue got on Heroes. Saved this which tickled my fancy at the time and still does. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k203/kiimosabe/heroes.jpg (Please please please don't probate me for posting a macro, it is from a different time.)

kiimo posted:Nothing beats the three episode arc that the Nissan Rogue got on Heroes. USA Network's The Dead Zone Tylenol placement was HORRIBLE. *Plot based conversation. Suddenly, someone has a headache. "Do you have some TYLENOL?" "Yes, here." *CLOSE UP OF BOTTLE HAND OFF, LABEL CLEAR TO READ. They did this multiple times in the final season. I also seem to recall a clip of a daytime soap opera where a character showed up to a cafe or something with a box of healthy cereal, which they went on to preach about for a few seconds before returning to the plot.

What about the Thomas Crown Affair remake which was a serviceable heist movie, except for the bit where Rene Russo's character has to stop everything in the middle of exposition to guzzle down a soda (a Pepsi, I think) while everyone waits patiently for her to finish?

I guess we're supposed to immediately recognise the characters or something, but I've never read any Kerouac, so it means nothing to me. I'm sure the people Kerouac based his book on weren't half as pretty as that cast though.

All I know about Kerouac is that On the Road is up there with Atlas Shrugged when it comes to books that people cringe to remember liking.

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.

Yes, this is my go-to example of overbearing product placement. It was a diet coke(EDIT: found a pic, it was Pepsi One), I think, and she just stops her conversation to drink the whole thing, label towards camera, and then pause to look refreshed.  The times product placement bothers me are when it breaks the fourth wall and shows the seams of the movie, so to speak. It takes you out of the story and reminds you of the machinery behind the scenes, and it's a bummer. That said, there are ways to do it that are either funny, subtle, or interesting, and I am all for that.

Yeah, those are pretty cool, though the text on the Gump poster is the wrong way round. Edit: I'm dumb. It's the text in front of his feet, instead of behind him, that threw me off. VVV A Buttery Pastry fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Apr 21, 2012 |

I really wish that if after watching that movie, I could say "yes. That poster was an exact representation of what that movie was all about." Speaking of obnoxious product placement, it was really weird being lent a copy of Dracula 2000 by a friend, and after a while realizing there is never not a Virgin logo somewhere on screen.

kiimo posted:It never occurred to me that I would love a product placement. The least offensive (for lack of a better word) product placement is when the real company advertises using a fake or future product. The shoes in BttF 2 are a perfect example, or the cars in Minority Report, even if the latter were concept cars and not complete fantasy.

Not being a dick, just for future information: Most of the pictures on imgur have a source link to the right that will take you to the Reddit post they came from. Then usually someone in the comments will have linked the original source. In this case, they came from a marketing campaign for LG. Those seem to be the only three.

I've heard a lot about it, but it's all boils down to "it's the first film adaptation of this well loved book". It's doing a fantastic job in ensuring I'll probably never see the movie with quotes from the book that I'm sure are meant to be profound statements about whatever. "I love love?" "The road is life?" gently caress off.
