 Here is a battle scene from the Asylum move Age of the Hobbits. It is hilariously bad. I've seen the full movie. There are dragons, but they do not breathe fire. Also, I don't remember seeing the guy in the hooded robe (that guy is carrying a steel dagger, and this movie is supposed to be set in the Stone Age). I read somewhere that Warner Bros forced the Asylum to retitle this to "Clash of the Empires", which I think is the first time their business model has been successfully challenged.

drat this thread for making me look up posters for my favorite movies. I'm almost always dissapointed. I decided to check out one of my favorite comedies, A Fish Called Wanda. I actually like this one quite a bit. It's simple and elegant. I would hang this on my wall.  This one however is poo poo. They got the names over the actors which is nice, but I hate that stupid fish. There is no giant fish monster in this movie at all, there is a minor plot point about a fish but other than the movie being named after Wanda, the fish has an incredibly small role in it. I'm fine with something to do with fish on the poster but this weird creature from the black lagoon thing ruins an otherwise decent concept. Also, "A new comedy..." is such a weird thing to put on a poster. Most movie posters are made to advertise a new movie, it's so redundant.  This is a DVD cover but I like this one. Like the first poster it's simple and really to the point. It's almost minimalist but I don't feel that seeting white hot anger that minimalist posters give me. I like that the color scheme for all of these is pure white too, I don't know why.  Oh goddammit. Bad photoshopping, the characters seem to meld into one another in a dull black void near the bottom and they got Michael Palin and Jamie Lee Curtis' names on the right spots, why not John Cleese and Kevin Kline's? The stereotypical blue/orange seems completely out of place here too. I really like the white/light blue of the old posters.

It's not really fair to judge a design based on how the actors' names line up, since that's a billing thing unrelated to the design.

In that case it even seems to be alphabetical, which is about as reasonably fair as one can get.

I understand that and I know designers can't always control who goes under what name but put a poster where each actor is under their respective name next to one where the names are over the wrong person and tell me the first one doesn't look ten times better.

Also, if anything, I like how that second poster is true to the actors' heights. John Cleese is a pretty tall man.

That poster made not by good, but drat if it made curious about the movie when I saw it at the video store when I was a kid. It's just a bizarre poster that really stood out to me. I should watch the whole movie sometime, since I only seen half of it on tv.

Does anyone know where I can get bigger-ish resolution copies of those mental Polish movie posters from the 70s-90s. I drunkenly volunteered to host a pub quiz night and I think figuring out what loving movie some of those posters is for would be a good head scratcher.

Try Cinemasterpieces. They've got a few, including these insane Russian "Star Wars" posters that you could use.   The second and third look like Q-Bert: The Motion Picture and Alejrando Jordorowsky's "Star Wars" respectively. EDIT: Two great Polish posters.   EDIT 2: Buncha Polish posters in relatively good resolution. http://hilitehead.com/tag/jakub-erol/ Robert Denby fucked around with this message at 00:42 on May 16, 2013 |

Found another minimalist poster I made years ago for some photoshop thread. Feel free to savage it. I really liked Life though, one of the few who did apparently.

Mechafunkzilla posted:This sucks. I disagree, I think it's simple and eye-catching, aesthetically pleasing and captures the mood of the film. It also meshes together well, the font was a good choice for the most part and it's laid out in a way that isn't garish or ugly. There aren't any floating elements (like just sticking Gerty or the Moon in the loving center of the poster with no anchor point), the graphic is blended in without resorting to texture effects. The only thing I don't particularly like is the title, like it could've been more stylized to offset it from the blocks of text surrounding it. VV Moon may have been pretty light-hearted, but there were some darker moments... which I won't get into for massive spoiler reasons.

I'd like that Moon poster would be better if it was blue instead of red. I think it's the red that's giving it a horror movie vibe, and it's also at odds with the color scheme and overall atmosphere of the actual film.

The Fright Night poster with a ~dreamy~ Colin Farell reminded me of this: someone buying a disc for a date movie is in for a surprise. But seriously, Near Dark owns, although it didn't have much luck with the posters before:  (a movie about miners?)  (Jean Michel Jarre in concert!) These two are pretty good:   And it already had a "romantic" poster before, a dull one unfortunately:  And here are your beloved Mondo knock-offs:
