Vagabundo posted:It's lazy as poo poo. Quite frankly, it's lazier than those lovely minimalist posters. At least the minimalist pieces of poo poo have some degree of thought going into them. It's a movie still. People seem to love movie stills as posters. I'm not sure what's more lazy about this than those... the person attempted to choose a picture that could sell people on the movie. It's better than floating heads and it's better than minimalist crap that you have to be  to understand.

It's a beautiful screencap from a beautiful film. It's A) a million times better than the awful original poster, where it's clear what they were going for but missed the mark by a mile by hiring a budget artist B) a billion times better than the Kinkade-esque Drew Struzan sub-Star Wars Final Cut cover art. "Lazy" has nothing to do with it. It's a stupid term. Does the poster need to do 20 push ups or something? It's a good visual. I'm mostly bored of 'clever' or graphic design heavy films. The poster nails the tone perfectly. That's what it's supposed to do. It might well be a screencap for the film, but that's fine, because the film itself is a work of art. The light, the grain, the tone, it's all there. Pfft, "lazy".

I like that poster a lot, it hits the mood of sad violence very well, it's got the beautiful and evocative color balance that helps make the film so memorable, and it evokes the era with its vaguely VHS covery look without being obnoxious or garish about it.

I have The Goonies over my kitchen table, Slapshot and 2001 in the bedroom, and Jaws in my hallway. My brother in law commissioned my fiance's favorite scene from Lord of the Rings in a huge painting (the killing of the witch king) hanging over the couch, flanked by signed COD posters. The only one I've wanted to add is one I keep seeing every now and then and forgetting about it. It has a skeleton in a spacesuit buried in sand with a spaceship in the background. Its a painted vintage poster. Anyone know that one?

It needs to be given drawn linework out the wazoo so as to age everyone by 10-20 years before it's had enough effort thrown at it. In all seriousness. It's a moody shot from a moody film and I much prefer posters that try to evoke the mood and tone of the film rather than trying to cram the synopsis onto the poster. The tagline and gun should clue you in that it's a scifi, the mood of the picture does the rest.

It's a good still. The still conveys the mood and feeling you're talking about. The still is a tiny part of the poster, which is a horrible total product. Yes there's a great still in it, but the poster itself still has two feet of black space and poor typeface and layout management. It is a beautiful still, yes, in the middle of a poo poo poster. Dropping even the best imagery straight out of the film into the middle of a black sheet is about the laziest thing a human being can do. That poster took all of four minutes to design. A film that is that memorable deserves a hell of a lot more effort.

You pick a shot from the movie, slap it on a black background, put a tagline above and cannibalise the title and credit scroll underneath. It probably took about 10 minutes to put together.

That's a really nice still, would be cool if they filled the frame or something. I guess it helps that BR was Cronenweth's masterpiece, you could take pretty much anything from it and slap it on a poster and it'd look good.

You would be right on the money. The poster is pretty much the only good thing about the movie, although it does star Maury Chaykin as a horny Canadian survivalist.

Dissapointed Owl posted:Can't figure out a funny way of saying this looks exactly like the North By Northwest poster, so I won't You didn't really need to try too hard, because the fact that it does is hilarious all by itself. If you stripped the title and credits out, the only way I'd be able to tell that it was a Blade Runner poster would be Deckard's gun and trenchcoat. The police spinner is so grainy and washed out that I didn't even recognize it.

I have kind of a gimmick in my basement - one movie poster from every decade. 1920's  1930's  1940's  1950's  1960's  1970's  1980's  1990's  2000's  2010's  X X X X X And one in my office because it's one of my favorite taglines...
