Not exactly poster related, but I just heard that HR Giger has died after a fall. Very sad.

I hope this movie is good, so I can see big robot dinosaurs fighting with big robots and also Mark Wahlberg for some reason.

I, Butthole posted:Optimus: I never cared much for Transformers, and never bothered watching anything after the first one, which left a sour taste in my mouth. That being said this looks amazing. Robot cars riding on the back of robot dinosaurs while wielding giant swords. I am finding it hard not to love everything about this poster.

I took this picture at a Best Buy yesterday. Seems someone at Fox had the bright idea that minimalist posters needed to be much uglier and jaw-droppingly terrible.

These...actually aren't bad for the most part, certainly as far as minimalist covers go. A few of these are actually better than the existing Blu-Ray covers for their respective movies. I wish someone would do one of these for the Minority Report Blu-Ray, that cover is abysmal. e: most of them just look like they took the most prominent object from the existing Blu-Ray cover and isolated it against a white background, which doesn't strike me as a terrible idea.

Yeah, is it bad that I actually kind of dig them? Especially the Office Space one, which is the "good" kind of minimalist in that it conveys the movie's attitudes and themes in a single image.

They do make all of them look much dramatic/ action-oriented, I will say. Somebody already mentioned the Office Space cover, but the one for Raising Arizona makes it look much more dramatic than the movie actually is.

I dunno. There are a couple decent ones but that Raising Arizona cover is dogshit. I actually dig the Edward Scissorhands one a lot, but it would look a million times better if it kept the color palette of the actual film.

The one for Dodgeball looks dumb, and does Max Payne really have anything to do with winged demon creatures? I thought it was just Marky Mark playing Noir.

I remember the trailers having winged demon creatures (probably the hallucinations you see on the drug that's in the games, Valkyr), so they're probably there in fits and spurts as creepy drug visions.

They are hallucinations but they're also able to knock a druggie through a window.

I like how the Speed one looks like a little bus is poking it's head up from the side in a "What's going on here? " fashion.

I've had the displeasure of watching the Max Payne movie and I can confirm this is true. They used demons whenever someone took this drug. Which allowed for scenes where a man is dragged through a window by a giant winged demon. loving weird dumb bad movie that was. Also, there is a great scene where Max realizes who the killer is by remembering that he saw his face through one of those hanging spinning baby toys. So weird.

I don't know when, I don't know where, I don't know how, I don't remember any part of it... But this is what I know. Maybe the shittiest alien abduction ever.

They're not bad individually, but I have to say I kinda dislike them because they're trying to bring together films of disparate concept and ideas into a similar style that doesn't work. Like someone else said, a lot of those movies don't fit with their genre, like the serial killer look for Office Space, gritty crime drama of Raising Arizona and M.A.S.H. looking like it's some follow-up to Full Metal Jacket. And a lot of them would fit better if they kept some of their original posters like the exploding Nakatomi building on Die Hard.

That's one of the only scenarios that makes sense. and you know what, I like it when they do that, because it really pisses off nerds AND is social conscious of them, which is rare for hollywood.

Compared to the posters for the first two, this cover is a bit too Direct To Video looking, but I guess it's fine.
