Just so I got this straight, Michael Gross is in all four Tremors movies, even though Tremors 4 is a prequel? Awesome. Just awesome.

turtlecrunch posted:One of the funniest things about this poster (aside from being a Jaws ripoff) is that the monster featured doesn't actually look like a graboid. Still, I like the rent-up earth texturing. The spread at the top is really strange though. Next to it is the obligatory Mondo version, also starring one of the Children of the Corn. It's one the monsters tentacle things. And while it's blown up to look huge, I can't really see whats so funny about it since actually having a graboid would have been retarded.

(e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEoXMLHXa1M also cool) Apparently on the Tremors 2 cover/boxart the artist attempted an actual graboid...but couldn't be bothered to watch the either movie to see what they actually look like or something.

I love the Tremors series. The first one was genuinely awesome and good. I felt the 2nd one was as just as good. The graboids evolving to those little dudes was neat and I feel the special effects hold up still. Burt telling about his ambush owns. "I am completely out of ammo. I've never had that happened." The third one is poo poo and makes no attempt to hide it and the fourth one is a prequel in the Wild West. Someone came up with that. Someone else thought it was good. It was financed and made. And the world is better for it.

Not to mention the fact that someone also thought that a one-off homage to drive-in B movies could be extended to television series.

The town becomes a tourist attraction because of this. The other graboid life stages make appearances, and the town also has to deal with human antagonists and other weird sci-fi stuff.

I'll track it down and watch it, though I've not even seen three and four yet despite loving the first two.

I've been shopping for movie posters lately, and one of my favorite posters in the world is Mort Drucker's American Graffiti poster. I'm more than aware of Drucker's prolific and amazing output, but did he do any other film posters? Google hasn't helped me out any here. I love Rick Meyerowitz's similar Animal House poster, and I'd love to see more posters in that style in general, but Drucker's work is something special.

Young Freud posted:If the guy de-emphasized Catwoman's boobs and made her ears more visible and replaced the font with something less grungy and more modern, it could be decent. I'd put in an inverted photoprint of eyes on either side and completely redo the buildings (also in B&W photoprint) so the whole thing looked like Bane and his mask (as well as playing up the grungy realism of Nolan's Gotham and the pseudo-populist rhetoric of Bane in contrast to the slickness of Batman and Catwoman), so you could have Bane looking over the city, then Selina Kyle silhouettes, then finally Batman at the center. So basically what you're saying is this could be pretty good if you completely redesigned it? I love that the child in the foreground looks scarier than the graboid.

Last night I dreamt I saw an old 70's slasher poster, probably because of seeing these. All I remember were the taglines: "Aw Hell! He'll probably kill everyone!" "He's evil! They're young!"

The original release of the film had very serious, noir-ish posters for the movie, and Altman thought they didn't work at all. He commissioned the Mad artist himself to do these since he thought they were closer to the film's spirit. So, if it doesn't mock the movie, it's because it's an advertisement for the movie.

I'd always heard the Long Goodbye was a really good movie, but I actually put off watching it because I assumed that it'd be a serious noir movie and I'd have to be "in the mood" to watch it. I guess the fact that Robert Altman directed should've tipped me off that it wasn't completely self-serious, and that Jack Davis poster's finally pushed me over into "watch this soon" (it's on Netflix, by the way!).
