Isn't every single Madea movie basically a more-subtle "Big Momma's House", only the idea is that Madea is an actual woman instead of just a guy in drag? All of those Madea posters make me think they're serious, introspective dramas about the struggles of "a mad black woman" who, presumably, "goes to jail" at some point.

Isn't Madea just a side character in all of the movies to being with?

Like HUNDU THE BEAST GOD mentioned, they're all basically parodies of other posters. The first two are Straw Dogs and The Color Purple; not sure what the Madea Goes to Jail one is.

Some (maybe all) of the Madea movies have a B-plot (or an A-plot, depending on your tastes) that involves some sort of very serious drama. Then Madea comes in and hits people with a rolled-up newspaper. It's incredibly jarring and I feel sorry for black audiences that have to put up with this crap because good movies about black families never get made. But if you cut out all of the Madea stuff from the Madea movies you'd be left with a movie that actually fits with those posters.

A found-footage movie about Matthew Broderick and an alien who, in an attempt to to be remembered by their high school peers, throw a party that spirals out of control and destroys an entire neighborhood.

For those not in the know Bane is playing with string here, which is a reference to Madame Defarge from A Tale of Two Cities, who'd sit in on the revolutionary tribunals sewing. The Dark Knight Rises was basically A Tale of Two Cities told via Batman, clumsily.

Gotta say, America needs to do what Australia did and add MA15 to go between PG13 and R18. Granted it's only two years but it still works out a lot better having that rating there. You probably wouldn't get young teens being casually let into an R movie by parent here anywhere near as much because the lighter R movies in America are all MA here; if it's R it probably actually does have some heavy stuff in it. (Hell, glancing through a list of the high-grossing American-R movies from last year, they were pretty much all MA or M here. Spring Breakers'll probably get an R, though) MikeJF fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Feb 24, 2013 |

Granted it's only two years but it still works out a lot better having that rating there. The UK system used to run exactly like that, with U, AA/PG, A/15 and X/18 being respectively equivalent to the US U, PG-13, R and NC-17. We also later added a 12 rating to prevent movies with mild swearing, violence and darker themes being automatically bumped up to 15 by matching the American PG-13 guidelines - maximum one F-bomb, darker themes and more gore permitted, and so on - except with a hard lower age limit that was later removed.

Yeah, I find the Australian and New Zealand systems are far more preferable to what the Americans have. Going from 13 to 17 is way too big a jump and uses far too broad a brush. Over in Kiwiland, we pretty much use the Australian system from G, PG and M (where the high-end PG-13s and low-end R films tend to fall into), and then we have our own rating system for anything above that. It's R (which is rarely used and allows for parental accompaniment for anyone under 16), R13 (Shaun of the Dead and Ted received this rating), R15 (originally created for Saving Private Ryan and was also used for The Passion of the Christ), R16 and R18. The R18 is also akin to the "A" rating that Siskel and Ebert used to champion on At The Movies as well. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Feb 24, 2013 |

The UK system now runs U, PG, 12A (12 unattended, any age accompanied by adult), 15... so that PG13 films can get kids in over this side of the pond, which is pretty worrying when PG13 is becoming the normalised 'bloody summer blockbuster' stateside and 12 films not having the same reputation of violence as 15 and 18's.

That is kinda like how the danish system is. It runs A (Suitable for everyone), 7 (suitable for everyone but not generally recommended for children under 7), 11 (suitable for children 11 and up) and 15 (suitable for children 15 and over). After that you're free to watch whatever you want. There is technically an 18 rating but I think its mostly just used for porn. So to use the new Die Hard as an example, it has gotten the 11 rating and Lincoln is rated 15.

Canned Panda posted:Newest poster for Jack the Giant Slayer See the problem for me is that there's no baseline to reference the respective sizes of the characters in this. Are they giants or just ugly dudes stepping on some pixies? All it would need is a couple of trees to establish a sense of scale. Godzilla isn't a giant until you see him next to a skyscraper, if he was standing in an empty field he's just a bipedal lizard. Also, this film looks hideous. Not just the giants, but everything.

kiimo posted:Same team that did Cloud Atlas so... draw your own conclusions. I haven't seen anything about Jack aside from the terrible posters posted here, but the five minute long Cloud Atlas trailer helped sell the movie to a lot of people (anecdotally), even if they hadn't read the book. Also, I imagine Cloud Atlas is inherently more difficult to sell due to the structure of the movie than a movie that is, ostensibly, about a dude who climbs a beanstalk and murders giants in their home. Or whatever they turned it into.
