Just a perfect example of how circumstances can combine to create a lovely poster or a good one depending on a number of factors.

I find baseball about as interesting as the history of accounting in Finland but this really makes me want to see the movie. It's just plain great and eye catching.

The tagline doesn't do anything for me though. It obviously talks about racism but what's "greatness"? It's too vague.

Like instead of just seeing color you recognize greatness.

That 42 poster is ridiculously eye-catching and infinitely more interesting than 98% of posters out there, I may be reading too much into this but I love how the unorthodox perspective matches the message of the tagline (and what Jackie/Rickey were doing to begin with). And it's just pretty to look at. I hate you even more, now, floating head posters.

It's a movie about a rockclimber who discovers the answer to the life, universe and everything while mountain climbing? I guess the movie will be advertised a bit differently outside of USA?

I don't know what it is about the sand/dirt kicking up off the ground but it does look like he's lost his left hand somewhere.

My boss likes to mix gangster rap and period pieces. Gangster Squad and Jay-Z. 42 and...Jay Z. It's his thing. I don't know. At least it isn't dub-step.

Weird I just realized my top two favorite sports movies (Field of Dreams and The Natural) are both based on my least favorite sport.

The greatest movie of all time, The Sandlot, is also about baseball.

That's a pretty good poster Kiimo. I'm sorta bummed out at all the baseball hate in this thread, though.

Jerusalem posted:I find baseball to be one of the most boring, interminable and miserable to watch sports on the planet but holy poo poo if I don't love me a good baseball movie. Weird, right? (If you're an American) There's this weird folksy nobility to the sport. It predates every living person, and the great legends of the sport are taller tales than the founding fathers. It's like if you're born in the US you just instinctively know it's some sort of hallowed and sacred thing. Meanwhile, it's soul-crushingly boring to watch and just about anyone (American) would rather watch hockey or basketball or especially football. And yet in movies, football and basketball are comedies or half-assed feel-good underdog movies, and hockey is always about goons (the violent troublemakers and brawlers) or the same lovely underdog movie. Baseball, though, churns out both of those types of movie, but also is unique in making these Oscar-bait powerful films with big names and great scripts. It's all so cloaked in myth and history (it has ties to both world wars and the civil rights movement) and all the great and bad moments of US history that it already has a built-in free drama pass before the writer of the movie even kills off the first character or gives someone a drug habit. There's just something about the history of baseball. It's like the dramatic film version of a crappy student who's a legacy at Harvard. It's already heavy with emotion and up for Oscars because it's America and history and mom's apple pie and America. And once I can figure out baseball movies, I'll possibly be able to understand why Hollywood has such a raging boner for boxing movies.

Baseball and hockey are both dying sports, but, I bet the average joe would still rather watch a hockey game (where a fight could break out*) than baseball. *I'm 100% convinced the only reason NASCAR is as unfathomably popular as it is is because of the potential of seeing a wreck. We, as a people, love seeing poo poo go wrong.

I can see baseball being the "American past time " just because there is so much history in built there. Plus it is a more gentler sport than American football so the players in the movies seem more likable (unless it's a movie about Ty Cobb) and like was said before, there is a lot of history and nostalgia involved (part of the reason a movie like the Sandlot is so popular-and good). In Canada we have our movies about hockey (check out The Rocket, it's really good) but nothing even remotely approaching American movie's romanticism of Baseball. I still wish a good cricket movie would be made. The only thing that comes close is Bodyline and that is more about jerks being jerks to jerks on the cricket field than anything else.

Wow, I had seen the trailer for '42' a few times now, but I had no idea at all that Harrison Ford was in it until I saw his name on the poster. I had to re-watch the trailer a couple of times just now just to make sure that was him. He's almost unrecognizable, I thought that was Albert Finney or somebody.
