For some reason, I look at this and just think that Legend is about ripe for a reboot. I don't even think it's a bad poster, I'm just saying that the devil design in Legend was awesome. And Tim Curry.

To be fair that Tim Curry design/performance is so awesome it almost redeems the whole thing, but I'm sorry outside of his scenes there is nothing compelling about that movie, and I'm a big fan of darker takes on fairy tales and mythology.

More poster-related than movie-related, but Mondo has done their first video game poster.



It's not horrible, but it's not terribly distinctive, either. I wonder if that's because it's a game that's not even out yet rather than something older and more iconic, the way they do with their movie prints.

It kind of completely ignores the colour palette of the game, too. For reference:

Turning the greatly varied characters and environments into two-tone silhouettes seems a weird way to promote the game.

The colours they chose... was probably about as close as they could get to the tone of the game within the limitations of their colour-limited printing process.

Still not good.

This game's marketing is so schizophrenic. It's a game about fighting ~the man~ and their evil mind-controlling soda pop and they're co-opting Mondo as an extension of that, but the game is published by Microsoft and has actual in-game ads and Microsoft product placement alongside the satirical ads of the evil megacorp.

For someone who really enjoys good production design, Legend is pretty great from start to finish. They built the forest from scratch, and there's a swamp too that's pretty creepy. But there's a lot of scenes in that forest, which is one of the better set designs I've ever seen. Its basically equal in quality to some of the forests they made for Lord of the Rings, except done like 15 years earlier.

Not to get all console-warriory but yeah, that game is looking like pure trash with poo poo animations and a terrible main character plus horrible gameplay. It's the Xbox Ones only answer for a huge hit this year in the shadow of the PS4 having some amazing looking games and exclusives coming down the pipes.

That poster is hot garbage too and reminds me of something from 7-11.

The main character is both very stylized and a total non-character. Just seems designed by committee.

The game has character customization or something, they just chose their commercial lead poorly.

Also it doesn't help that it looks so much like a reskinned Infamous.

Hahahahahah jesus christ no one quite does "gently caress the Man (brought to you by the Man)" like video games does, and I say that as a big proponent of the potential of video games.

I don't know enough about production design to dispute you, so I won't. I was more thinking in terms of being an engaging and entertaining movie.

That character would've been fine if they'd used the actor's real voice. Some bigwig didn't like his German accent so they dubbed over him with the woman that played Blixx.

Also he was 19 when he made that movie!

You can say that about every single thing Tim Curry has appeared in.

It made me go, "It looks like someone saw an indie comic and demanded that for their poster, then they half-assed it the rest of the way."

That Boyhood poster seems to be more going for a reference to A Scanner Darkly and especially Waking Life, but giving it a less oppressive realization. I just don't see what lucidity has to do with the film.

It's just aesthetically indulgent. The golden ratio creates an interesting structure, but if this was meant to convey the 'fragments' of life spiraling towards and from an ineffable 'center,' then I can't help it could have been better visually conceived (and would have been more creatively challenging, color-wise) with snap shots of the actor without the rotoscope effect.

I don't even understand the pose she's in. At first it looks like she's stepping forward with her left leg, swinging her hips and shoulders in that forced, awkward sashay that screams 'runway pose.' But then if I follow down,* I see that her right shin is actually extended further than the left one, suggesting that she's walking down stairs, but for some reason her knee-caps are glued together.

This effect is made worse by the fact that the platform on which she is supposedly standing is already angled downward, so it just looks like she's planted in an abyss, doing nothing dynamic.

* Hey, it's certainly not emphasizing any part of her personality - her face is downcast obscured, the color tone is too consistent with the background, they seem to have literally only attempted to distinguish her by her curves.

My favorite part of Glenn Close being in the movie is remembering when they first started shooting and someone took a picture of one of the aliens on set and said it was her, leading every single comic news site to say it's her. Nope, she just has a cool hairdo.
