Mister Chief posted:Ken Taylor Jurassic Park posters. How big is that T-Rex? Because the overturned jeep is barely visible and there's no humans either about to be eaten or running away. Since there's no establishing scale for it, it looks like a tiny lizard.

Since there's no establishing scale for it, it looks like a tiny lizard. Yes, tiny shrubs and tiny trees too apparently. I don't like the posters either, but we're eventually going to run out of bad things to say about it, and we don't need to come up with excuses for why it's bad. It's bad because it doesn't fit the tone of the film. The drawing is fine, the "scale" is fine", it's just not a Jurassic Park poster so much as a generic dinosaur-themed poster.

Mondo needs to stop releasing Jurassic Park posters and finish the poster series they have already started, like Ghibli. I mean really, do we need  yet another  poster from this film? Those are all from Mondo, all in 2012.

I'm going to take a swing in the dark here and guess that nerds still loving love Jurassic Park and people both want to create these posters and purchase them. Not taking away from Jurassic Park as it's a favorite of mine as well but I'd say they're a slam dunk on both ends from Mondo regardless of how good the actual poster is.

You know what annoys me about this poster? The size of the iconic gates and the T-Rex is loving tiny. Despite being in the foreground Alan looks big enough to stand equal to them.

Yeah, it's really irritating, because if they'd scaled it right, and had the gates at their proper prominence, that could have been a really awesome poster.

Mondo could wipe their bottoms on a sheet of A3 and advertise it as a movie poster and hipsters would still buy it out in less than an hour. In some cases to be found in this thread, it's arguable that they have.

As a theme park nerd, I really like the Mondo poster that homages the Disneyland posters. Of course, it doesn't fit the kind of advertisment that Hammond uses in the films (which is far colder and less inviting) but it's a nice thought and the executed it well. I also don't see the loving problem with the new one. "It's not Jurassic Park." is some seriously whiny bullshit.

If you're making an alt Jurassic Park poster that isn't some abstract version of a man being eaten off of a toilet, you are doing it wrong.

I never said I didn't understand why they are releasing these. It's an obvious pander/money grab which is becoming more obvious as time goes by. Now I may be biased, as I own a few posters they've released, but I feel like the quality is starting to tank compared to previous years. That Ken Taylor poster is poo poo and they recently released a poster which I think is ugly as sin:  I mean, what the gently caress.

Geekboy posted:I've basically started to hate all of these secondary market posters. The whole concept irritates me, because why would I buy something mocked up as the film's poster when it has no actual place in its promotional history? You're not buying the movie's poster, you're buying "Hey guys what if this was the movie's poster?". It's masturbatory and it's presumptuous on the part of the artist, and that's before you even get into the half-assed minimalism and painful attempts to be Saul Bass. I buy art prints, and maybe I'd buy an actual poster from a film, but I will never ever buy any print in this asinine format.

It's actually the first Parker film in the sense that it's the first time the Westlake estate has allowed a studio to use the name Parker--usually he's Porter, Macklin, or some other facsimile. Unfortunately, the chickenshit production appears to have capitulated yet again, softening Parker and turning him into some kind of criminal with a "code." (Thanks, Dexter.) The Parker of the novels is a motherfucker who will shoot a teenager if he thinks the kid will cause him trouble, or nonchalantly step over the body of an innocent women he just accidentally choked to death. I have a feeling we don't be seeing those scenes in the film. On the plus side, accent aside, Statham is a pretty perfect embodiment of the character in tone and presence.

Supercar Gautier posted:The whole concept irritates me, because why would I buy something mocked up as the film's poster when it has no actual place in its promotional history? Exactly. I used to have a couple of movie posters on my wall, but I didn't buy them for the art. I bought them because they reminded me of the movie and of cinemas. Fake posters don't, can't do that because they lack all resonance. You don't buy them because you love cinema, you just want something that looks cool. It's style over substance and I have no patience for it, sorry.

So is it an extension of the "last" exorcism in the previous film or is it an all new exorcism, because there surely can't be TWO last exorcisms!

Jedit posted:You don't buy them because you love cinema, you just want something that looks cool. It's style over substance and I have no patience for it, sorry. What if they're posters that were actually used as promotion, but they're from another country like those Polish posters that were circulating around the internet? I have this on my wall:  I loved "Help!", and I thought the design of this poster was pretty cool so I bought it and displayed it. (Well, by "it" I mean a print-out by a bootlegger, but it's decent quality.) My point is that you can have a poster that's way outside the standard design of the movie's actual poster (which usually doesn't differ much from country-to-country), and still buy it to convey the fact you like a certain movie. You can have style and substance together. And what about the inverse? What if you love a movie but the poster is embarrassingly ugly?

I have this on my wall: There are more movies to love than I have wall space. I get to choose the best. Regarding posters from other territories: I have no problem with those. It may be a bit avant-garde to hang them up just because, but at least they're connected to the movie in a real way. Hanging your Polish poster says "I like this movie, here's how they advertised it in Poland." Hanging up a Mondo says "I like this movie, this cost me $80 and there's only 500 of them".

It was called the Last Exorcism because it was the last exorcism that Cotton Marcus was going to do before giving up the craft, and even then he was doing it to show how it was all a bunch of smoke and mirrors. And it did wind up being his last exorcism
