This is apparently a comedy about a chef. Not that the poster tells you much except that Bradley Cooper is a really handsome dude. I mean, he's just sitting there. At least make him hold a skillet and a knife in a really attractive manner or something.

Yeah, I can see chef, he's wearing a chef uniform. Unless it's a relatively low-key comedy I'm not seeing that aspect, though.

Maybe it's a comedy inspired by Jeanne Dielman and it's three hours of the Saturday night dinner shift.

I got 'chef' only because the outfit combined with the pose gave sort of a Gordon Ramsay look. I'd probably watch a movie about a Gordon Ramsay character. Bradely Cooper looks way too nice for that, though.

I think it's zoomed in just far enough to make it somewhat unclear if it's a chef outfit or just a white shirt. The color palette also definitely screams "fashion ad". Whether there's a reason for all this, I don't know.

That sucks. Everyone knows you need to make a movie for each crew member first, Seriously, though, I hope that description means this is another remake of Seven Samurai.

Waffleman_ posted:"Bradley Cooper is Adam Jones" I really hate this trend. So many movies and poo poo with just some character name like I'm supposed to know who the gently caress they are. That might work for Marvel but you can't just make a movie called Joe McGuy and expect people to give a poo poo. The cover is, like here, almost always just the star standing there too, giving you no further hint as to what the hell it's about.

It actually sounds like marketers taking the wrong lesson from Marvel/DC/Film Franchise characters who often come with long-standing relevance in the pop culture sphere and trying to establish a new film protagonist/potential franchise the same way. It comes across as arrogant as hell at best and tone-deaf at worst.

It comes across as arrogant as hell at best and tone-deaf at worst. I can sort of understand Universal doing it with Dracula/etc. since they were straight up doing that in the forties/fifties anyway. But they failed three times in a row to make people care in modern times. Their first attempt was Van Helsing. Then The Wolf Man with Benicio del Toro, then again with Dracula Untold. Now ANOTHER Wolf Man reboot is happening to line up with Dracula Untold. Now I'm not even saying that's a bad idea, obviously Dracula, etc. are like the penultimate long standing relevance in pop culture characters. But have any of you seen Dracula Untold? Holy poo poo. I think Van Helsing is almost better because it's at last laughable.

I was more referring specifically to posters that show an actor playing some character like, I don't know, Mordecai or whatever that Johnny Depp poo poo was and expecting said character to be instantly iconic the same way shoving Spider-Man onto a movie poster in 2001 was, even though Spider-Man at the time was a character with half a century of pop culture relevance.

Yeah, I'm complaining about poo poo like this:   One of those is a well liked movie, but just looking at these covers, good luck figuring out which. The main dude's name in a random-rear end action movie is like the least important part, I don't see why this is a trend (Bourne, I guess). John Carter is also an interesting wrinkle on this theme. Also odd how often it's a J name.

No doubt, those titles are very generic and you have to be familiar with the movie to recognize them. John Wick and Jack Reacher are great though, but could've used better titles. I'm actually struggling to think of another title for John Wick, though they could've had a good tagline for it, like "don't set him off" or something. There is a fan poster where his tie is a burning fuse which should've been the real poster. The spanish title of it is "Sin Control", which can be read as "without control" or "out of control". Jack Reacher could've been a combo title using the book name, like "Jack Reacher: One Shot" or "One Shot: The Jack Reacher Archives" or something. And John Carter should've been "John Carter and the Princess of Mars". That would've gotten more butts in seats than what they got.

They took out the "of Mars" from the title because they found that movies with "Mars" in the title underperformed. So now we got a movie that's set on Mars but named after some guy instead, and look how well that did!
