I didn't know that he didn't actually direct it, but I loved that movie. In all seriousness though, the writing was the movie's strongest point, and the direction was passable at best. Louis C.K. wrote one of the funniest films ever made, and he should hold his head up high and be proud of that.

I can't help but wonder what lucky bastard walked off the Last Action Hero set with that prop, or if the studio either retained or destroyed it.

I can't believe I'm just finding this thread now. Anyway here are some of the worst ones to catch my eye in my movie poster folder (sorry if any of these are reposts): Aligator Eyes  Death Threat (wait, what is this movie about?)  A Certain Sacrifice (lookin' good Madge!)  Assassin  Biker Zombies (aka "my first photoshop assignment")  Bootleggers (don't let your kids draw your posters part 1)  This one is labelled as 'Carnal Madness'  Dark Sunday (I don't care how big your gun is, I'm not afraid of anyone wearing that hat)  Dragon Lady (don't let your kids draw your posters part 2)  Salt in the Wound (if you think this one looks OK, check out the guy's arms and hands)  If anyone wants to see them I have many, many more.

Why would a robot need a nasal cavity? Couldn't they just give him a little metal nose to hang the flesh nose on? Or just make it all smooth like a Ken doll's crotch?

 Remember when Fred Savage was a thing? If you've never seen this movie, which I doubt many have.. it's bizarre.  This poster is awesome (Road House is awesome) because it tells you everything you can expect from the movie. Patrick Swayze is gonna beat poo poo up and most likely be shirtless, there's gonna be a bit of romance for the ladies and we're gonna finish out with action and explosions for the guys. No false advertisement.  All kinds of batshit crazy perspective bits going on here but the tiny man at the bottom is what sells it.  Loved this movie. Still have no idea why.  Judge Reinhold is gonna skateboard all over your poo poo. Bonus points for having people named "Swoosie Kurtz" and "King Baggot" in the text at the bottom. Apologies if any of these have been posted previously, I dont remember seeing them but this is a long thread. Orange Carlisle fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Jan 13, 2013 |

Or as Netflix describes it: quote:Two heads may not be better than one when workaholic department-store executive Marshall (Judge Reinhold) and his son Charlie (Fred Savage) innocently touch an ancient skull -- and soon discover their bodies have switched. I don't think there is any appropriate use of the phrase "innocently touch an ancient skull."

Chicolini posted:I envy you people that haven't heard of Vice Versa or Like Father Like Son. Why is the suit too small for the son, and the jeans and shirt combo too big for the father? Even if Kirk Cameron is taller than Dudley Moore, it makes no sense from a thematic standpoint. The son should be wearing a baggy business suit, and the father should barely fit into his son's clothes. Maybe I'm thinking too hard about this.

His normal clothes are too short for him. Kirk is in the shorter Moore's body. He's a teen that wants to wear his normal clothes. They are now to baggy for him. Right?

Some 80s posters did get kinda text-heavy. Apparently you were expected to stop and read them. They didn't quite have the tagline down to... a science.

I would love to know what thought process led to that title. Mr. Carlisle posted:
I have a theory, and I don't know if there's any evidence of this aside from the movie itself, that "Little Monsters" started life as a straight horror movie. Then Fred Savage got cast, the studio realized he was popular with the kids, and it became the balls out insane, mood-whiplashy thing it is today. Mr. Carlisle posted:

I wasn't a big fan of this when it was first posted here, but recently they've displayed it in my local theatre. I have to it's a lot more impressive in person when it's given a backlight. It illuminates the florescent bulb in the picture in just the right way and gives the whole poster a lot more character and depth that would be missing if it were simply hung up on a wall or presented as a image on the internet.

Tomero_the_Great posted:I wasn't a big fan of this when it was first posted here, but recently they've displayed it in my local theatre. Yeah, I have to agree. I just did our newest displays and it looks much better when backlit. I thought about taking one for home too, but it probably wouldn't look as nice without proper lighting. I'll probably take it anyway, to add to the collection if nothing else.

Young Freud posted:His arm looks stumpy because they inflated his head. It should be about half the size of it is on the poster. I'm also positive some of the arm wonkiness comes from the fact that he's holding a revolver in the original poster. However, I think new poster guidelines say that you can't have guns pointing straight out at the viewer in the poster anymore.  I remember this sort of happening with Tomorrow Never Dies as well, where the original cover had Wai Lin pointing her gun right out at you:  Now they shopped a weird, other gun pointing off to the side:

That list is sorely lacking in the Perfect Blue department. The first one isn't really a poster but it certainly caught my eye even when I had no idea what movie it was or who Satoshi Kons was. The second one is a french poster for Perfect Blue. NSFW for tiny nipple-slip. http://i.imgur.com/Sxqa7.jpg
