Is it similar to Drive in the 80's retro vibe?

Was this ever used anywhere but Sundance?

It was used as the cover to the OST.

The Guest was one of my favourite films last year but all those posters are awful.

Our Entourage teaser. It pretty much creates itself to tell you the truth.

The posters for The Guest all suck because none of them feature Leland Orser.

Likewise. It looks like you can snag one off of someone from China who will most likely just print it out that exact same image I linked for $11, but I may take my chances trying to print it out on our 40" plotter at work.

Yeah, the poster should really be Leland Orser offering you a beer or whiskey.

Wayne's World 3; Buglord

So excited. Le Feu Follet is probably my all-time favorite movie, and I really like Hans Hillmann as well. Finally managed to find a copy of the thing for sale and wouldn't ya know it, it's from flippin' Amos Vogel's estate.

Life goal down.

I think it's supposed to be an epilogue to the series either way.

I haven't seen this posted here, probably because no one (rightfully) gives a poo poo about the Divergent series, but this poster for Insurgent caught my eye in the movie theater lobby, which doesn't usually happen:

I mean, it's dumb as hell and they're gonna kick each other in the head in a few seconds but from what I can tell it is a unique concept.

I read that as "Upside nmoo". Flipped words don't usually convey the intended effect very well.

It's a teaser, not a one-sheet if that helps.

Well I'm sorry but its really legible and reads as 'Down'. I know Goons like to make typography jokes but sometimes you reach too far.

Do you seriously not see why that word, which has four letters of which none of them scan immediately as upside down, is a bad choice for that style?

In general, if the title of your movie is even slightly hard to read on your movie poster, you hosed up.

This is true if you detach your head from your body and turn it upside down.

Honestly, 'down' didn't even register as upside down in my brain. I had to go back and look at it to see what you guys were talking about. I like it. I think most people read 'upside' and their brain autocompletes it, especially with the rest of the poster sort of priming you for it.
