The thing that gets me about this is that the egg used in the poster and in the trailer looks nothing like the alien egg featured in the film. It's like Scott only gave a handful of clips and stills to the marketing department and said "give me your best guess". In addition to the egg, I think that the ground is made of nude people interlocking with one another. It's like the marketing department interpreted the data they were getting from the film production and conceived wholly similar in nature and tone but of different execution. What you're seeing is some "artist conception" of Alien, much like you would see of some top secret aircraft or big-dollar NASA project. Something like that would never happen today. Nevertheless, it's simplicity yet unusual design (one would say alien) is pretty iconic. I recall the California Avocado Commission put out a similar billboard ad that featured an avocado bursting with a green irradiating light.

Terminal Entropy posted:You just made this poster a millions times better for me. I swear I remember reading something about the creation of the poster and I think this is how it happened, with a lot of lighting and mirror tricks to inflate the number of people in involved and the egg added in the dark room exposure (the '70s equivalent of Photoshop). Even if there was no human involvement, it's hard not to look at that poster and see numerous flanks of a human legs in it.

I took like 2 months for this to arrive from Canada and then another month for me to get it framed and I still haven't gotten around to putting it up. It should be noted that the blues are closer to the image you posted than how they appear in mine.  I went with the same black matte with a painted bezel as I did with my Kill Bill poster.

There was this crazy battle plan where the main guy took on the entire gang by being a crazy badass, and was winning. Then... he took a wrong turn, had his plan back fire, was captured, publicly raped by the gang leader in retaliation, and left crucified to die. Party reaction:  We waited a respectful 10 minutes, then put on something else. Might be a different movie, but I googled, and recognized some costumes and one character. TheBigBudgetSequel posted:I want to own this so hard. Agreed. More importantly, I want to see that movie. Holy poo poo I just realized what they're telling me to look closer at, how did I miss that?

Desperado Bones posted:When posters almost become works of art next to the remake's one: I always loved this one so much as a kid, because the wonky perspective of the face and hand manages to transcend how amateur it may look and implies a dream-like logic that the Nightmare series always strived for but rarely truly achieved.

DNS posted:You don't think Metropolis topped it? C'mon. It is amazing and one of favourites (I have it on my door), but in terms of pure efficency of message? No, Jurrasic Park is unsurpassed. In that sense, it's perhaps a little unfair to compare 'logo' posters to others, but even the choice of using a logo for JP tells you so much about the film. I really need prints of Jaws and Aoft50'W, I forgot how gorgeous they are. e: Oh, and Dracula Has Risen From The Grave... obviously Lizard Combatant fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Jan 7, 2013 |

I've probably seen this poster a thousand times but never actually looked at it. Always just saw it as a guy standing in the light of the street but now I see that the streetlight and the other windows are quite dim compared to the crazy bright supernatural light beaming out of the top-left window directly at and only at The Exorcist. Like being targeted by Sauron's eye, or being caught in a tractor beam.

It should be noted that the blues are closer to the image you posted than how they appear in mine. That looks incredible. Can I ask about the mat? Did you have it professionally framed or did you paint it yourself? I'd love to try doing that myself for a frame job but am not sure about the logistics.

Unfortunately, the obvious implication of that picture and tag line combined is that you're literally navel-gazing. This is on the whole a fairly accurate description of the movie, although it does sell it short.

Renoistic posted:I've always been partial to this one: He isn't. If you look at the credits box on posters that have a full one you'll usually find the title in it somewhere next to the names of the cast. Headlining stars will be before the title, lesser cast members come after it. For example, that awful Pacino poster has AL PACINO CHRISTOPHER WALKEN ALAN ARKIN "Movie Title" THE REST OF THE CAST. Superstars like Cruise or Arnie tend to get top billing to themselves, and sometimes a movie will have no top billed cast - The Fly is one of those.

So a lot of people have been saying that "Movie 43" looks like some continuation of the apparently godawful "Underground Comedy Movie". Well, guess what... This movie is literally from the people behind "Underground Comedy Movie", and I'm willing to guess its been shelved for a few years but is now getting a release thanks to the similar "Movie 43". EDIT: I just noticed something odd. Ari Shaffir is top-billed in the credit block at the bottom (in addition to being a co-writer), but is not featured at the cast list on the top of the poster. Also, Freestyle Releasing is the same distributor that put "The Nutcracker in 3D", "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell", "In the Name of the King", "Postal", "Seed", "Dragon Wars", and "Delgo" into theaters. Hoo boy... Robert Denby fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Jan 7, 2013 |
