I hated this poster for the first 3 or 4 seconds I was looking at it and then it all clicked and suddenly I loved it. I'm not sure what happened, but one moment I hated it and the next I thought it was perfect.

I see from the signature that this was done by The Dude Designs, who did the poster for Hobo With A Shotgun. He talks about the process he did when coming up with the DVD cover. quote:I wanted to create something in a true 80s keyart style, that was VERY action packed, putting piper in an Italian poster style, testosterone driven almost god like religious icon standing aloft like a beacon of social commentary surrounded by the imposing odds of alien control, and NOT forgetting Keith David (who sadly gets pretty much left off all the promotional material for they live, the mans survives The Thing! hes A LEGEND in his own right They Live, The Thing, Road House, platoon COME ON!) quote:For pipers image I wanted this rippling muscle god with the awesome blond streaked mullet flowing man (he is massive in the film, the guy was a wrestler and that's where most of his fan base comes from, so i needed to represent the 80s WWF crew). so i thought to hell with it and just rip the god drat the shirt sleeves off, i know it doesn't happen in the film but THAT'S the point, pick up a copy of any Bronx Warriors on VHS and you will know where I'm coming from. Visually this is all steeped in 70s/80s Italian poster/video art history and people like Enzo Sciotti (its so ingrained in my brain now that its almost instinct). He has a total shooting from the pelvis stance of resistance as he's striding adversity. Like i said i did want to give this piece a saintly religious iconography vibe... which is something that MUST have been an influence on the Italian works too, with there culture so steeped in the church, that's my theory anyway!. I didn't want to cover his eyes as i felt it removed the emotion, so Keith was given the cool shades to convey that and piper has his in the pocket. BTW, he did a DVD cover for King Of New York for Arrow Video in the UK.  Young Freud fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Nov 7, 2012 |

kiimo posted:Unfortunately it has been proven time and time again that keeping information from the public on a film with no equity translates into them not caring about it and the box office suffers. Brad Pitt has a lot of equity but as mentioned Paramount is hurting right now and this might come off as a trick and it is a big gamble.

Although I'm not big on 3D conversions, it's nice to see that people want to see movies readily available on video on the big screen. Pretty good new "Zero Dark Thirty" poster.  What's funny is the layout made me immediately think of this poster:

Also in a totally gross cross promotion, the new FPS Medal of Honor: Warfighter has a multiplayer map pack with a Zero Dark Thirty movie theme.

Got my Bond movie poster. Was surprised it was printed on some pretty good stock paper. I might have to get a frame for it, it's classy as hell, and will remind me how great the movie was. Definitely try to see it in a real IMAX theater if you can; it's worth the price of admission, especially with the sound quality.

Seriously, the guy has done a ton of good but gets poo poo on by everyone for some oblique reason. "He's cocky.""What's with the stupid glasses?" I mean, I know you're just making a joke. I just don't get where this mainstream loathing is coming from. "Man, this guy surely does win a lot of awards for doing good things. What a prick."

The joke's based around the fact that Bono and U2 haven't been good for a very long time. I think the mainstream hate of Bono does come out of a weird, twisted place where they're actually pissed at him for trying to do good things. I feel like Bob Geldof catches poo poo for this a lot too. I mean, let's not quibble here, the guy's kind of a douche--remember the picture of him in a hot tub with two seventeen year olds?--but so are a lot of celebs. He just has the gall to "give back" and "support something". People can't abide that. This is it. The best thing.

My main issue with Bono is that after Ian Curtis's death, he supposedly told Tony Wilson that he would "become the frontman that Ian never had a chance to be," or some ridiculous bullshit like that.
