But I agree and as I mentioned, I don't loving hate the mondo poster like I do most other posters from mondo but the original and drafthouse re-release are superior. That re-release poster is fantastic. G-III fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Nov 9, 2013 |

That re-release poster is fantastic. I'm not sure if I call the original poster superior. It's still better than that Mondo one, but, looking into the history of the film, it was very much riding on the coattails of Alien, which was released a year earlier. However, since it was released in Europe before Alien, the movie posters then reflect different attitudes...  Kinda interesting.  Not sure what it's trying to play up. The focus visually is on the occult and demonic forces, but the text sounds like it from Cosmos.  Clearly the European poster and going for an exploitation angle (boy is someone going to be disappointed), this is also used for the Stridulum soundtrack cover art. Notice that "Katy", who is the only one who wears sunglasses in the film, looks more like she's 28 than 8. She could be modeled after Joanne Nail, but I still think it's supposed to be Katy. I will say that the best of all of these posters has to the Drafthouse rerelease one.

My copy opened with George Takei advertising for a collection of home videos on what I now realize was the bridge of the Enterprise. When I was a kid I had no idea who he was or where he was--some kind of fancy hotel or something, I supposed.

Wendell posted:It's got unbelievably low quality animation. I can't speak for any other part of it, because I turned it off rather quickly. It's Hanna-Barbera circa the 70's I think. The dialogue and narration is lifted almost directly from the book, and there are some hideously earwormy songs written by the Shermans on what had to be an off day. I liked it fine enough as a little kid too young to read the book (which has of course since become one of my lifelong favorites) but watching it as an adult I found it weird as hell and really annoying.

The MSJ posted:There's an actual Marvel character named Asgardian, but he had to change it after he came out as gay. He was always gay. He came out as not really an Asgardian, so he changed the name to Wiccan since he's the Scarlet Witch's magic child. Though Hulkling didn't change his name when it turned out he was a Skrull.

'Also, rear end-guardian' 'Oh yeah i should definitely change it'.

It's like finding out Janusz Kaminski, Oscar-winning director of photography, his first DoP gig was on Cool As Ice, which is why that John Maus video is so good despite the source material being so bad.

'How did they miss that?' meaning how did they have no concept that with the bold black letters on either side that you'd automatically read the circles of the frame as the letters you're meant to be reading.
