Look at the poster in a thumbnail, it's an obvious skull. I actually like the fact =that you really have to look to see a skull in the full size version. The whole skull formation thing on posters is pretty cliche so I like how it's not so bleeding obvious.

Now that I see it thumbnailed I was wrong and stupid and poo poo. scary ghost dog posted:No, he's right. It's clearly just a bunch of identical crows carrying ears flying in bizarrely staggered groups. Well that's how I would have made the poster.

Why is it that heads always look so off? Why is that so hard to get right?

Canned Panda posted:Why is it that heads always look so off? Why is that so hard to get right? Because the body is always taken from a different source and its way too easy to lose objectivity on how big a head should be when you've been working on it and adjusting it for hours.

Ponypool sounds rad. But is it a pool full of ponies or a pony in a pool?

I've always felt Pontypool had strong Absurdist tones to it, and the poster seems to be a good continuation of that, especially with our natural desire to find patterns in things like that.

Composite photography/photomontage/combination printing goes all the way back. Another You is from '91 so they might have actually brightened those teeth in Photoshop! But there's nothing like a painted poster. How about Eastwood ...by Frazetta?

The thing I love most about that poster is how it doesn't mention Kristine de Bell's most famous credit. She played Alice in the 1970s porno musical version of Alice in Wonderland

I kind of like that poster. It's like a long forgotten VHS cover art or something. It's certainly better than the actual cover they used (Though it's not really all that different).

There was some cheesy 80's movie about an evil robot impregnating a woman too. That Weird Science poster is rad, but the movie is one of Hughes' worst, full of white male privilege and sexism. So of course I liked it as a teenager.

So this beauty turned up in the AusPol thread. I assume this is part of a series, and a bunch of countries are getting a poster of their robot, right? Because this sounds like an awesome idea. EDIT: I like that the Australian robot wields nice, big knives.

effectual posted:Reminds me of the powerglove kid from The Wizard. Also "Fister roboto" from Archer. There was some cheesy 80's movie about an evil robot impregnating a woman too. You're talking about Demon Seed, which had it's own mix of horrible and awesome posters...  This makes it sound very I Spit On Your Grave or some other rape-exploitation movie.  This, OTOH, makes it sound more like Rosemary's Baby, which is definitely a step in the right direction.  This fully embraces the science-fiction angle of the story, with the first shot of the robot arm, the tagline, and the '70s hi-tech computer font for the title. That robot arm looks like it's a real threat, too. So, when the film was put on video, guess what direction they went with...   Fortunately, the DVD release uses the second movie poster.
