I hadn't heard the coke habit thing but I've heard multiple showbiz people on podcasts talk about how he is a truly horrible human being. Nobody seems to want to give out specific examples but it seems like it's generally agreed he's a huge rear end in a top hat. So I guess I wouldn't be too surprised to learn he's a stereotypical coke-fueled egomaniac with a short fuse.

The one that I heard was John Cusack was pretty good friends with him, getting him parts in movies like Say Anything. When Entourage exploded in popularity he told Cusack to gently caress off.

I don't like the tagline on that Cirque de Soleil movie.

Cirque de Soleil: Worlds Away "experience the adventure that will take you worlds away"

I'm no professional but repeating "worlds away" so much just sounds clunky to me.

Still not as bad as the Clash of the Titans (remake) tagline: Titans will clash.

It's not a poster but while I was traveling this past weekend I saw a pretty effective billboard.

The Paranormal Activity 4 folks had taken out two spots on a digital billboard (the kind that cycle through a half dozen or so ads)

The first was a shot of a bedroom you know, whatever. The second immediately following was the shot with a spooooky ghost in it!

It's not something that's ever been done before, I don't think. Thought it was neat.

Every big movie seems to get these individual character posters now, with the actors just standing around in generally neutral poses. It's boring as heck.

Minus the Par4normal Activity ones, these are the ones from NYCC (also missing is the Kill Bill one and the Shaun of the Dead one which was amazing and sold out before Saturday).

I got the Iron Giant yellow non-variant, and it looks incredible. It's seriously so well made.

Well, given that it's Tarantino it's entirely possible that highly stylized look is intentional.

No. Almost literally no one bought them at NYCC, and the fact that there are still some left means there is no interest in it. You're not going to make more than a few dollars off of profit unless it somehow becomes a collector's item because no one bought it.

Even though the Mondo posters are likely to be a good investment, it's rarely a good idea to purchase art speculatively that you don't particularly like.

edit. ^^^ Or maybe that particular one isn't even a good investment.

The stack left of them at NYCC was insane. They had little cubbies made for each poster, and I asked the guy if they all started full, and he said yes. Every other poster was about 1/2 gone or more on Saturday, the Treebeard ones were almost touching the top.

Oh, also missing from the set is the Phantasm poster. I didn't go Sunday so I don't know if they sold out or if they're saving them for a later date.

It's Worlds Away by Strange Advance, a mostly forgotten Canadian synth/prog band from the 80's.
