Will see AoU on opening weekend. That poster is mad ugly, sometimes I feel like poster designers need to go back to visual design school or something.

Much like the trailers, they don't have to put very much effort into selling Avengers.

Again, I'm an unapologetic sucker of the MCU's big floppy donger, but I'll be very surprised if a huge part of CineD isn't throwing a "we've finally got a bomb!" party for Ant-Man come summertime.

Well it's not meant to be artificially perfect, it's meant to let people know there's another film with Iron Man, Hulk, Captain American and their friends coming out. So really, it's fine. I'd never hang it on my wall, but for hanging on a cinema wall as a giant advert, again, its fine.

It looks like one of those posters that was originally a mural of banner ones that they've now just crammed into a one-sheet.

It's a lot better than the Captain America 2 character posters that had slightly funky proportions making the subject look like a midget.

This seems entirely irrelevant to the fact that the poster makes it look like he's ready to throw himself off his own helicarrier.

Could you cobble together a list of good to great movies Ryan Reynolds was ever in? Say what you will about Scarlett Johannson, even when she's the worst thing in a film the film itself is usually very good.

Buried and Adventureland I guess. It's a short list, and even that first one is easily debatable.

She's probably been in twice as many good films as someone like Amy Adams, but I don't look out for her as much.

She's also in the better comic book franchise of the two.

Even Eight Legged Freaks was good.

Home Alone 3 was pretty awful though, but she's barely even a part of that-- more set dressing than a character, although mercifully not as a sex object since she's like 12 in it.

That's depressing as hell, Amy Adams really deserves a better career than she does. She's like Julianne Moore in more ways than one.

True but Amy Adams probably has more respect in the public eye because I can't recall many times after like that early Office episode in 2005 where she's been used in a movie as an object of lust quite the same way ScarJo has been. Then again if she had ScarJo's exceptional breasts and complexion who is to say she wouldn't have been?

Walk Hard is the other time, of course. She might've pulled a Julianne Moore and just agreed to full frontal in every movie she's in.

This at least feels intentional on Scarlett's part — the five movies listed above all touch on being that kind of target and push back against it in interesting ways. I love seeing movie stars chase roles that shade their public persona like that.

Yeah it's fine from a standpoint of "just inform folks who is in movie." It just happens to be super ugly at portraying that. The photoshopping and text layering (specifically the names) are terrible is the main thing for me. You can have a cramp busy poster that still looks good, even if its a flawed concept. This was a lazy concept and lazier execution, like most Marvel movies!

I'll stay pay to watch them. They have me by the balls. Why did I grow up reading comics!?!

Amy Adams has also been Hollywood old for a while now, so that's probably some part of it.

I hate that I knew this but I happen to know that she showed her rear end in some stupid beach movie that also featured the "nice guy" from Buffy back around the year 2000. Did she show her tits in The Master? I watched it last night but I honestly can't remember because there were a lot of tits in that movie.

I compared SJ to Ryan Reynolds because I imagine in the near future she's just going to be the default "white female lead" in a lot of inoffensive average movies in the near future.

Seeing her cast in a whitewashed film was my SJ tipping point, as much as I've seen plenty of decent movies with her in it.

Why didn't it illicit the same anger from you when she took the role of Samantha away from Mrs. Speak and Spell?

This implies that Ryan Reynolds was ever on a higher level than inoffensive average movies, which much as I like him he never was. ScarJo as we just discussed on the last page actually has a deceptively impressive resume of movies for a woman best known for being exceptionally pretty with giant breasts.

While you're imagining this, look at her resume. Name one movie Reynolds is in that's half as good as Under The Skin.

There's an entire scene where Joaquin Phoenix pictures all the women at a party completely naked around fully-clothed men while Phillip Seymour Hoffman vamps about singing a song, and that's not even the first instance of nudity in it.

ScarJo is doing probably the smartest possible thing career-wise right now, where she's taking as many high profile well paying jobs as she can while she's still considered hot and she's also doing a bunch of indie things so she can have an established track record of being a good actress when she gets too old by Hollywood standard. You say in a few years she'll be just be cast in standard roles, but it's more likely in a few years she'll be struggling to get the type of work she's getting now because the public will have moved on to the next gorgeous young actress.
