5's almost a good design, except the hammer isn't integral to the plot, and the font for the title is horrible. 6 is decent, at least it's different than most Drive posters. Rest are very very bad.

penismightier posted:The Les Mis and Beasts ones aren't bad. I mean look at those loving Avenger posters, remind yourself those are about average, and then look at Beasts again. I don't want to look at the Beasts poster again, on the basis that I may need my eyes at some future date. I'll take bland lack of talent over grotesquerie every time, thanks.

The hammer appears in one scene that's about 3 minutes long, how did it become such a popular image for the movie? The worst posters are the ones that feature a toothpick, though.

The cast list is because they spent something like 10 years making the movie and were hiring actors piecemeal as they got more money. Like how Anne Bancroft had been dead for 3 years before the movie finally came out.

Nestle's Crunch, the famously vital plot mcguffin of GhostBusters. Would it have killed them to graphic design a packet of stay-puft marshmallows? C'mon people.

Nybble posted:That's what was on my mind. There are an impossibly large number of fan posters for that movie, and yet all of them are focusing on the tiniest part of that movie. It's because Drive was all about the tone generated by its cinematic techniques. And there's a lot of stillness in the film, giving people time to think (and in this case, time to think about the wrong stuff). Folks saw Ryan Gosling raising a hammer and it made them feel funny inside, and they attributed that feeling to the hammer itself. It's basic fetishism. You'll note that people have not picked up on the sun/shadow themes, the focus on motors, and the play with cinematic archetypes and identity. It's all hammers.

muscles like this? posted:Doesn't Venkman give one to Egon at one point? Was it a Crunch bar? Because whatever he waves at Egon, whatever Egon "earned" wasn't even shot in close-up or lingered on. It was product placement, no doubt, but since I can't for the life of me even call up what brand it was it couldn't have been emphasized. There are a ton of other things wrong with that poster, but the central problem is that most people wouldn't have even remembered that moment, let alone what candy bar Venkman was holding.

Here's a question: Why don't the posters focus on anything that might be more recognizably iconic? Like the mask scene, which is far more drawn-out and which more people will remember. I mean, even the Mondo poster had the decency to focus on him actually driving a car. Also, does he even kill anybody with that hammer? I know he uses it to force Nino to eat a bullet, but I could've sworn he mostly used his hands to kill people. This Never happened, as far as I remember.

Waffleman_ posted:Hammers are easier to draw than nuance. It's not a question of laziness, like they were going to try to draw nuance but didn't bother. Folks are just straight-up visually illiterate. The hammer scene in Drive is nothing without Driveman struggling to hold himself still while he burns with rage. The hammer is just adds to the real content that is the bodily self-mastery. (Hence the strippers in the background, as it happens.)

I'm pretty sure it just used a photo from the movie that was a great shot and then they didn't obsess over colours for the text. EDIT: This is the best Drive poster

Paper Jam Dipper posted:
This is great, but wouldn't Nicolas Ray be a better choice for a director for 50's Drive than John Ford? Anyway, this was the first poster I saw for Drive and I do think it's my favorite:  I am getting Cronenberg associations from this, especially to Crash. We are basically looking at the Driver's beating heart, with the car being an extension of himself. He drives. That's what he does, but it's also all he can do. It's just a nice poster that is thematically appropriate and an intriguing image that hints to us that there is more going on under the surface of the film than those Mondo atrocities would have you to believe. I didn't even notice that the iconic pink font was gone before I took a second look at it.

I don't like it because it has the problem a lot of Drive's promotional material had, in that it paints it as a gritty fast action film. That is what I immediately thought of when I saw that poster, anyway.
