Those covers are like ex post facto mockbusters, where instead of producing a rip-off movie to capitalize on a Hollywood picture, they take old crappy movies and give them box art that resembles new Hollywood pictures.

Crackbone posted:Yes, since posters/teasers aren't just hung up in theaters and subways anymore. Thanks for the clarification! I totally wasn't saying that in the same context as someone asking if the blood on the Nurse 3D poster would be allowed (in a public setting and not in some collector's room or a film event)  Terminal Entropy posted:Had never heard anything about the difference being the person in the first one was alive. Any time I had seen the two there was some remark about the MPAA being fine only with one based on the same insane troll logic the ratings board operates. Yeah, the MPAA's policy on which posters get the yay/nay are insane troll logic in the first place. But as with the poster for The Road to Guantanamo posted a few posts up, it was specifically because it was depicting torture. With the second poster, they reasoned that you cannot tell that the person is alive or not, but with the first poster, they are clearly clawing the ground and not lifeless, and that constitutes torture. Showing dead bodies is apparently A-OK. It's stupid but that's how they work. IIRC, the Saw films never show torture on their posters either, even though that's all the movie is.

There's no way time travel exists in the future, because if it did, my future self would have already gone back and prevented Foodfight from ever being made, with the help of an anti-paradox device.

You have no idea how the number of even worse films your future self had to prevent that he ran out of time to prevent Foodfight. You have no idea because you can't imagine how bad they were. Because your future self sacrificed himself for us to save us from that knowledge.

It is possible it can happen, but you would only be able to go back as far as the moment the time machine was first turned on, Primer style. It doesn't really let you know that it is suppose to be about time travel, but failing at that it gets the tone and hard science of a it down perfectly. Does anyone know if the poster made by the distributor or if Shane Carruth did it himself like almost everything else?

If there's movies so bad time travelers are secretly saving us from them, then I hate time travelers. I'd hate to think Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 was the BEST version of that film.

Or time travelers are just coming back and making some of our films as awful as possible to gently caress with us. Can you think of any other explanation for Scary Movie 5?

Primer's budget was $7000. Pretty much all of it went into buying 32mm film stock, from what I understand.

Speaking of Manos: The goon made restoration has a goon made poster. Getting a lot of good Mondo vibes from it. Nice that it didn't skimp out on having hands in it either. I haven't seen the movie, only been limited to some of the stuff I had read about it in the restoration thread; anyone who has seen it have any thoughts on this?

Poor job of representing the movie, excellent way to mass appeal to the ironic fanbase. So, perfect. It's like the inverse of the minimalist posters. A good poster with too much detail for a poo poo film that can be simplified to a single concept. The Anime Liker fucked around with this message at 07:20 on Mar 19, 2013 |

I love that Primer poster - love it to death - but it's missing it's fairly fantastic tagline. None of Primer's budget went into craft services.

Complete with villains talking about how you're going to die! The bad guys here look like someone took the villains from The Last Starfighter and glued bits of an old oven onto them.

Young Freud posted:Robert Culp said he was probably the angriest man he ever met. Can't say I blame him, honestly; but that's a whole 'nother conversation. But I will say that what he and Robert pulled off with I Spy and the stories of that were amazing. They wound up being best friends right up until Culp died a couple years back.  I had the misfortune of seeing this in theaters as a kid. Cosby literally told people to not waste their money on it when he was doing his rounds on talk shows to  promote it.Edit: The movie won three Golden Raspberry Awards, for Worst Actor (Cosby), Worst Picture, and Worst Screenplay (Jonathan Reynolds and Cosby). It was nominated for two more Razzie Awards, for Worst Supporting Actress (Foster) and Worst Director (Weiland). A few weeks after the ceremony, Cosby accepted his three Razzies on Fox's The Late Show. He requested that the three Razzies he earned be specifically made out of 24 karat (99.99%) gold and Italian marble. Cosby himself later brought the awards with him when he was a guest on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson, happily displaying them and proclaiming, "I swept the awards!" For the 2005 Razzies, the movie earned a nomination in the Worst "Comedy" of Our First 25 Years category. I didn't know about that part!

This movie gave me nightmares as a kid when I caught my dad watching it one night. The two scenes that stood out was him killing two people by putting a bag of rats on their heads, and a later scene lowering some business man into a giant meat grinder.
