Does this movie take place in a septic tank? What a genius decision to tone down all the blood spatter so it looks like the character is covered in poo poo.

Isn't there some kinda regulation on how much blood you can show in a trailer/poster? The trailer to for Kill Bill had to color the blood spatter on the Bride black in order to show it.

Yeah, there is. Many trailers color all blood black, but when the alternative is poo poo stains I don't know if having any blood there is a good idea.

From what I've seen a lot of it takes place in a sewer, so at least they're honest about the film.

I kind of like some of those but the more minimalist posters I see the more I start to think they're trying to hard to be overly clever and end up kind of boring. Also far too in-jokey.

I don't know, the ones for Empire Strikes Back, Ghostbusters, Aliens, and There Will Be Blood are all too in-jokey to be really effective.

Actually, the few of Owen's posters that I think were truly effective are few and far between.

I imagine the names of the pubs foreshadow events in the movie, much as the speech in Shaun of the Dead did.

I'm sorry about dragging this up from a few pages (and days) ago, but I haven't got this movie handy over here so I'd like to know; what speech and what does it foreshadow? I can't remember any especially big speeches in the movie near the start.

I think he means the pick up speech Ed gives Shaun that ends "least it's not the end of the world" right as a zombie knocks on the door.

I'm pretty sure it's Ed's speech to a distraught Shaun at the beginning, where he lists all the fun things they're going to do to cheer him up. Basically, it's a rough outline of all the places they go and things they do throughout the movie itself.

The guy who did it is another fan that hopped on the minimal movie poster train, but somehow managed to luck out and get real gigs. Here's his site. http://www.imagekind.com/MemberProfile.aspx?MID=3a3b674d-8c7a-44dd-8e59-350257052923

Some of these are good, but seeing all of them right next to each other makes it to easy to see that this guy has a template. Take "iconic" image from the movie, place at 3/5 up the page, put title of movie in small font at the bottom, repeat. Some are different, but way too many follow that model.

I can't stand the minimalist poster thing simply because everyone goes to great lengths to put as little as possible on the poster, yet they all for some reason also need to cover it with filters to make it look grungy or stained or folded. I absolutely hate the whole, "Check out my grindhouse poster which I created digitally. You can tell it's a grindhouse poster from the fold marks I added in photoshop" thing.

Moving the type to make it "correct" removes all tension from the Bourne poster and makes it really boring and too-simple. The type is placed that way for a reason and I like it.

Yeah, because you know what I think of Heat, I don't think of the coffee house scene, since De Niro and Pacino have acted together in other films now that whole "two acting greats together ACTING" aspect has lost its importance.

No, when I think of Heat, I think of the big bank robbery shootout scene.

You know, the one that actually inspired a real life crime, as well the atmosphere of :nolan:'s The Dark Knight.

Vagabundo posted:

I do like how each frame of the poster is connected to the one following, with the subject being in the background of the one preceding it. The only one that doesn't work is Penn's and Nolte's, that's because there's no Nolte poster.

Is it me or is there a lot of gangster movies coming out? It's kinda weird that a bunch of cyberpunk movies are coming out as well. Sigh of the times.

Is the implication that the jerk publicists insist on greater coverage of their actors in the poster, so they end up getting overexposed on the poster even when it looks dumb, or it's not commensurate to their presence in the film? (This is probably a dumb question, but I'm a dumb person and am interested to know what the answer is.)

Honestly I take a bit of an issue with fanmade minimalist posters and sometimes poo poo like Mondo going on sale since a lot of it is someone profiting off of someone else's IP without their permission, and that isn't really that cool. Yes a lot of film posters nowadays are bad, but it's been that way since the beginning of time.

Pretty sure Mondo has always gotten permission to make their posters. There's a reason the company now has its posters being archived by the Academy.

Eh sort of, the more you tweak it to hide perceived and usually stupid flaws the more it looks airbrushed like was mentioned. This is how you create the effect, just tweaking and tweaking until all the little wrinkles and hairs and moles and other things that make skin look human get stamped and layered and filtered and smoothed and adjusted until you essentially have the equivalent of a painting. That's why you get a guy like Josh Brolin, who couldn't give a gently caress less what people think about his skin, with a reasonable resemblance.

In addition to this, it is meant to be really large, viewed in theaters, not computer screens.

Nope. But I'll say she sounds like one of the white chicks on The Help on the phone which was infuriating and had us do changes to this last Wednesday until 1 in the morning the day before it was supposed to debut at Comic-Con even though they've had it since June.
