In the future all film names by law will be completely impenetrable: non-ethnic name of male protagonist, rom-com titles like "That's How It Goes!", mysterious combinations of multisyllabic nouns like Robert Ludlum novels. Colons will also be mandated.

effectual posted: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. Eh... very debatable. John Carter is one of those franchises who legacy is loving massive and stretches from Superman to Super Mario, but is largely forgotten by the public. I'm a huge goddamn "genre human being" and I still didn't really learn dick squat about John Carter of Mars proper until I was 18 and I found it boring as gently caress in a pleasure sense, although academically it was fascinating. So having said that, why on Earth the Walt Disney company let the director have unprecedented control of the marketing whose fanboy tendencies made him assured everyone under the sun already knew and/or gave a poo poo about a century-old genre ur-text is beyond me. Extending the title wouldn't have helped that. Hell even pointing out how big an influence John Carter has had on the pop culture landscape wouldn't have helped do much than explain the seemingly derivative or generic aspects because people consume pop culture for base entertainment, not cultural history lessons. John Carter had been out of John Q. Public's eye for so long the only real thing Disney could have done would be to have built him from the ground up but instead they let a cocky director lead them and they paid for it dearly. It takes a lot for a peasant like me to sympathize with one of the Big 6 Media Companies but goddammit they did it. Light Gun Man posted:At least put a THEY KILLED HIS DOG...NOW HE'LL KILL THEM! No that's the kind of thing you put on a low-rent action boiler from the 70s-90s and John Wick is totally different from those because The Time Dissolver posted:In the future all film names by law will be completely impenetrable: non-ethnic name of male protagonist, rom-com titles like "That's How It Goes!", mysterious combinations of multisyllabic nouns like Robert Ludlum novels. Colons will also be mandated. Browsing Netflix already feels like this.

Cacator posted:The original title was John Carter of Mars. 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! The original title was John Carter of Mars because "A Princess of Mars" wouldn't sell to boys. That movie had a hard row to hoe, which is a shame because it wasn't bad.

I'm the most vocal cheerleader for "John Carter" I know. But when selling it to friends who I know will probably like it, I either have to explain how it's based on the science-fantasy Ur-text as explained above, or strongly emphasize the fact that Taylor Kitch spends most of the movie wearing naught but a loincloth and a smile.

It may not be "bad," but it's definitely boring and difficult to get into. The same can be said about a lot of Disney's live action blockbusters as of late: Prince of Persia, Pirates 4... arguably 2 & 3 as well, along with The Lone Ranger and Tron: Legacy. testtubebaby fucked around with this message at 16:16 on May 21, 2015 |

Got those Mad Max posters in. The original and Road Warrior ones are only one sided, and reprints, of course, but they're pretty high quality and look really good next to the Fury Road double sided one sheet. Sorry about the window glare on the Fury Road one.

Give some breathing room on the top, they are way to close to the ceiling.

Vintersorg posted:Give some breathing room on the top, they are way to close to the ceiling. I have really low ceilings, so full size theatrical stuff has to live by the ceiling otherwise they look way too low and weird, sadly. My last apartment wasn't built in the 50's, and had normal human sized ceilings so I could have them hanging properly, but it's not really an option here. Plus it makes them easier to hang alone and not have all crooked.

Yeah that's killing me! Why are they mounted so high and flush to the ceiling tiles? edit: the middle of those posters should be at about 5.5 feet roughly.

For reference on the low ceiling situation, I was holding the camera at eye level in that photo. E: Next time I move, I'll definitely have them down lower as long as the ceiling allows. Smaller posters can live lower and not look like they're too far down, but 27x40 ones always look too high or too low here. Vince MechMahon fucked around with this message at 19:45 on May 21, 2015 |

I've just doused my apartment, and self, in gasoline, and started letting gas out of the oven. I've brought shame to my posters and this thread... By the way, for further reference, that little spot of black in the lower right hand corner is my mattress, which further illustrates how low these ceilings are.
