It's very possible that all of these crappy minimalist posters come from crappy technical college Illustrator class assignments.

Geekboy posted:This is almost kind of clever. I don't hate it with a burning passion, just a regular passion. I don't think it's bad at all. And I honestly don't think that "The Room" poster a few posts back is that bad, either. I just can't get past how tonally wrong that kind of minimalism is for the movies they're depicting. That "Matrix" one of the battery is still the worst to me, because of just how off it is in every way. The palette's wrong, the content is inconsequential, nothing in the design speaks to the actual film it represents, aesthetically or tonally. And it's so goddamn easy to make a "Matrix" poster - even a hyper minimal one - that does. Every time new images find this thread, the corpse of Saul Bass manages to cry another tear.

BOAT SHOWBOAT posted:Don't get me wrong, this poster and basically every minimalist fan poster are horrible. But none of these artists are truthfully trying to "improve" or even make "alternatives" to the real poster. It's just fan art. It's 15 year old kids expressing their enjoyment of a film on their Tumblr. It doesn't make it any less lovely, but talking about them in relation to the real poster is kind of off point. Here are a couple of good ones (in my opinion of course) from movies I've watched recently: Sightseers  Ties in with the story, catches your eye and is humorous so I think it's successful. Take Shelter  You've seen this poster and this movie I'm sure so you know it's good. Shotgun Stories  If you haven't watched this, you should remedy that immediately. I loving hate all laurel leaves though and I think they need to stop using them. Chained  Kinda silly with the scratching effect, but it was a small movie and D'Onofrio is menacing And an 80s as gently caress one from a movie that was funny when I was 6, Joysticks  It's pretty dumb as a grown man but the poster did it's job when I was young and the internet didn't exist.

If the text on that Titanic poster were more legible, and they hadn't done the fold-lines I would call it good. As is, it's merely clever but poorly implemented.

MikeJF posted:None of these bother me, but oddly, (Star Trek Into Darkness spoiler) Benedict Cumberbatch playing Khan after Ricardo Montalbán does bother me. I suppose because ostensibly due to the premise of how the new films relate to the old he's a recast of the same Khan Montalbán played rather than a reboot. Not to dredge this back up, but rumor has it that there were points in the production where Cumberbatch's character was not Khan and the identity of who he was in the script was in flux. Taking this into context, it makes a lot more sense that they cast somebody who didn't fit the evolving character and tried to create the best story they thought they could rather than rejigger things to fit the actor they had cast.

Red_Museum posted:Set during the 70s, if you can belive that Having never grown up in the 70s all the TV shows and films I've seen from it make me think that it was permanently overcast for the entire decade. If you want critical thinking, I like that poster. I don't know jack poo poo about the film, but the picture and the title tells me there's a guy in a a leather jacket with blood ties to a guy in a suit, there will be shooting because one man is holding a gun, and it is set in/about a city because there's one right there in the background. The small figures (although not too small to recognise the actors) mean that the city is equally dominating in the picture to tell you its important, and the bridge cuts up a lot of the otherwise empty and boring sky and funnels your vision towards the important characters. The white poster around it is simple, doesn't distract and the red/black/white goes well with the colours of the photograph.

Canned Panda posted:My first thought on this one was something about a GPS, and the green dot was Forrest. Like he was running, or something. I've figured it out. It's talking about Forrest's low IQ and intellect. Don't you see? He's doing the shape test and trying to fit a cylinder into a triangle shaped hole. It's both a commentary on the character of Forrest and how the poster artist sees these minimalist posters.

The trailer, with that music, makes me want to see it all that much more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONz6R4LF5nY It's refreshing to see a total throwback to 70's era, working class "cool" that isn't a Tarantino wankfest. And this is coming from somebody who's loved every Tarantino movie he's ever seen.
