Re: NOAH discussion, It blows my mind that people believe in stained glass windows. Not once in the Bible when an angel appears before a human are they soothed, calmed, in awe, or thinking that Elohim/God/whatever you want to call Him, is smiling upon them- they are consistently frightened to poo poo, because the last thing angels are is beautiful. Having crazy limbs and heads, no matter how many or what they look like, will always be closer to the word than models with lovely bird wings. And to that point, that angels are beautiful and demons are ugly in movies is amazing as Lucifer, the most beautiful, and his crew fell for vanity so the truth is that the portrayed good guys and bad guys are actually role swapped. E: I'd love to see a one sheet of this in a cinema display, surrounded by lights. cvnvcnv fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Nov 16, 2013 |

I don't know if any of you guys have ever seen an undisguised angel, but trust me... they are horrifying.

penismightier posted:I'm loving the new style on the Drafthouse posters, I hope the cartoons are on their way out. You're talking about the Mondo posters that they had used for their Alamo Drafthouse showings, right? Oh, man, going through some of those, I came across this Mondo poster for Boogie Nights  It's gorgeous. Everything is yellowing, making it more lurid (which isn't hard to do with Rollergirl's rear end there), but fits well with the film and it's so colorful. It uses screencaps for the film, but Rollergirl and the corvette are clearly hand-drawn and exaggerated. What the gently caress happened? Did they get so full of themselves and that Olly Moss, vector-traced, washed-out single-color style that they just stopped trying?

Boogie Nights was pretty recently and is horrendous looking. The poster you described (sounds good) and the poster you've pictured (looks poo poo) aren't the same thing at all.

I am less inclined to blame the vector tracing because that looks nothing like Heather Graham.

Young Freud posted:You're talking about the Mondo posters that they had used for their Alamo Drafthouse showings, right? That belongs on Eschergirls. There is a difference between "exaggerated" and "her torso is narrower than her thigh". I'll agree that the style is fitting, but it's fitting in the sense that it's loving terrible tawdry crap and hence perfect for a seventeenth-rate T&A movie of the period in which Boogie Nights is set.

Angels depicted as beautiful peaceful women are a pet peeve of mine. It irritates me to no end when i see an angel like that in 'christian' literature.

With the holidays coming up, what are some good sites to get quality posters from? Preferably something based in Europe or something that doesn't charge an arm and a leg for shipping.

PriorMarcus posted:Boogie Nights was pretty recently and is horrendous looking. It looks bad for a film poster, but it's not bad-looking. It looks like what it is, an illustration by an artist who mainly does band and concert flyers. If you don't like that style that's fine, but there are plenty of people who do. Given the garish nature of the film's subject matter, I'd say it's entirely appropriate.

Netflix just added Only God Forgives and  at the poster they used: There's something about this nondescript, pared-down style that Netflix and Redbox use that is just consistently amusing to me. Like, it always reeks of  because they know it's just going to be a small icon on a huge list.

There is no action or animation in the Boogie Nights poster, so apparently you know absolutely nothing about design or illustration or animation.

Thanks for further obfuscating the issue with stupid points that make no sense. Edit: I know goons have trouble with exaggeration and art because they take everything literally and cannot understand concepts like "artistic liberties," but the girl on the poster for Boogie Nights is not supposed to look realistically proportioned. scary ghost dog fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Nov 18, 2013 |

Rockin' Jelly Bean has done illustrations of normal-looking, normally-proportioned women before, so he's capable of it. And while Roller Girl's look is similar to other stuff he's done, I think he was going for an R. Crumb style figure and pose (the film being set in the 70's when Crumb's "Keep On Truckin'" design was popular). But again, I don't necessarily like it as a film poster. But as an illustration for a film I like, I might consider hanging it on my wall, which is more than I can say for most Mondo posters.

Maybe if your posts didn't drip smug superiority people wouldn't be so quick to challenge your points.

Yes, it's an illustration, but the anatomy is poo poo and it looks like poo poo. No comment on the perfectly normal proportions of every other figure in the poster? Or the reasonably well-done likenesses, or the fact that it invokes the era the film is set in? That, plus you have to take it in context. This is not a poster for the film's original theatrical run, it was made recently and is catering to an audience who probably not only knows what the movie is about, they've likely already seen it. In fact, I take back my earlier statement that it's not a good movie poster. It's a perfect movie poster, except it's not advertising the movie as a movie, it's advertising it as an event. Rockin' Jelly Bean was selected for that poster because he's known as a flyer designer, and that's what the poster is. It's a flyer for a showing of Boogie Nights at the Alamo Drafthouse. It's an advertisement, and it's eye-catching, and we're discussing it so it's done its job.
