The MSJ posted:It's like he never stopped being everyone's favorite slasher-monster-turned-hero robot. Why make so many varieties of this. Like just as a single poster it's kind of stark and doesn't tell me about the movie at all but even if I encountered three of these posters in succession I wouldn't notice they were different people's hands. Are they expecting me to identify actors by their hands? how? Are the thinking someone might not just like one of these mostly featureless grey posters but several different ones?

Not actors hands but showing a hand gesture done by people of various walks of life (easy to see that some hands are young, some old, some dirty some clean etc) means that there is something uniting in that symbol. It's a bit minimalist for my taste but the idea behind it is pretty sharp.

Movie posters aren't made for display any more. They're made quickly and to be posted en masse just as they have been in this thread for people to talk about.

It's not good art (and those aren't good movies), but it says exactly what it wants to say.

I actually kind of like the hunger games movies, but the hand gesture thing is soul crushingly cheesy so those posters totally turn me off. I'm not sure where I'm going with this post.

They should probably put the movie title somewhere on the poster. I thought it was a sequel to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0414852/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Kinda surprised Russia allows the Three Fingers movies. Figured they'd be like China and any anti-government/wealthy movie would be banned.

Actual poster-based advertising will be done with a big flaming metal bird.

It's clearly a minimalist Inglourious Basterds poster, these obscure references to incidents in movies is getting out of hand.

Any movies that have gay characters but don't specifically condemn homosexuality are probably banned under the gay propaganda law. Andrey Zvyagintsev's film Leviathan also caused some outrage in Russia for it's portrayal of Russians as foul mouthed vodka swilling louts(and also shows the government as incompetent and corrupt). Following Leviathan the Ministry of Culture made some plans to ban all "anti-Russian" films that defile the national culture, even ones made by Russians.

As long as you made sure to have at least one shot that was over 8 minutes long and at least one scene where two men drunkenly discuss philosophy than it would be a surefire hit in Russia.

Sorry, that's not Russia, that's the old Soviet Union, when they actually cared about such things as plot, direction, and philosophy. This is what modern Russian audiences want... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3AXBdfZidY

That Ted 2 poster feels like a visual representation of one of the insufferable parts of Family Guy - hey, remember that thing from the 80s that you liked? Also, here's a boss Sicario poster.

uPen posted:So the same thing as modern American audiences? Pretty much. The post-Soviet new Russian Hollywood has kinda brought things down to the lowest common denominator, especially since Russian films now have to compete with foreign media. Vagabundo posted:That Ted 2 poster feels like a visual representation of one of the insufferable parts of Family Guy - hey, remember that thing from the 80s that you liked? That's pretty much Sam Jones' role in the first film feels like. I like Flash Gordon, but come on, there's better ways to play homage to it. It's not like Jones' even needs the money, he has runs a private security company. In fact, he prefers not to even bring up Flash Gordon professionally, since potential clients get kinda anxious trusting their life to a guy who played football against space men. Mister Chief posted:This looks like poo poo. It just looks low resolution. And yet it isn't, since the Cannes selection and other text are much sharper. It's supposed to represent the ink bleeding.
