That's a rad poster and I want one. Have they given any info as to where it'll be available? IMAX? Regular theaters? A combination of both? EDIT: Wait, internet says it's an IMAX poster. Noice. I wish 75% percent of the poster wasn't shadows, though. Gonz fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Jun 27, 2015 |

It's not even mood lighting, it a regular photo made greyscale and with the contrast pumped waaaay up. It looks real bad, particularly in the detail areas, which is a shame because it could look great if done well..

So is it hot garbage or wet garbage? EDIT: Never mind, I missed the butt sucking. Pope Corky the IX fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Jun 27, 2015 |

Technically they can put whatever they want on posters. If you want to put a picture of Osama Bin Laden smoking crack while Timothy McVeigh gives him a rimjob you could. It probably wouldn't get put up anywhere though.

85: The J.A. Steel Collection The posters aren't all that interesting, but the trailers, oh my, the trailers... the Third Society  Use your tough girl voice, tougher, tougher! Salvation  I'm starting to think J.A. Steel has a friend at the airport Denizen  Eek! A hand! Blood Fare  Please ignore the fact that the Cop?/Sheriff?/Marshall? is wearing a badge with U.A.S. on it

Bloody Hedgehog posted:That's true. Grainy high contrast black and white is exactly what the threshold filter does. I mean I seriously doubt that's literally the threshold filter but its really close... Which brings about my point that it's lovely lazy design. You aren't actually arguing that it's even remotely a good poster are you?

It suggests a "back to basics" approach that the new movie clearly isn't. Reminds me of how they marketed Predators, which also wasn't exactly "back to basics" as much as "trying on a new set of basics."

Bloody Hedgehog posted:It doesn't look like the Threshold filter, so it's not a threshold filter. The only way this doesn't look like a threshold filter is if you think they've applied it to the image at that size. Applied to a much larger, grainy image and resized that looks exactly like it a threshold filter. Example:

ShufflerZero posted:85: The J.A. Steel Collection For some reason, I was most taken aback by the fact that the second trailer has an Australian voice over for some reason? I don't tend to hear that for anything other than locally made content, and it doesn't really scream either Oklahoma *or* Medieval knights.

I always felt like the Laurence Fishburne role in Predators was meant to be either Arnold or Glover originally, but they couldn't get either of them and rewrote it. I have no idea if that's true, but that's how it came off to me.

I thought Fishburne did a good job as "person driven insane due to being marooned on an alien world for over a decade".

Everyone in Predators did a good job, even Topher Grace and especially Adam Brody playing against type as a tough guy. Fishburne's character definitely felt like it was meant to be Danny Glover though. The problem was that there wasn't enough visual/kinetic spark to really get the blood pumping and the gimmick of "bigger, meaner Predator tribe" came across as hackneyed. So the movie came across as workmanlike when it needed to have a real sense of electricity, but that's so easy to say in hindsight given how they basically made "TF2 fights the Predators" work as a conceit.

Topher Grace was a nice surprise, but while I appreciate the effort, I think Adrien Brody did a terrible job playing against type in Predators. Adam Brody probably could have done better. (unless I missed a joke you got your Brody's wrong, one has an Oscar and the other is the dorky kid from The O.C. The one in Predators sucked and the other couldn't have done any worse)

I thought Brody was fine in it but it's a shame the movie very quickly devolved into a slasher film. A very decent slasher film with Predators, admittedly, but they could've gone a bit further and focused more on the actual Predators and their culture and stuff like that instead of "here's a bunch of people, here's some predators, now go at it."

The script made the Super Predators a lot more interesting in that the reason why they looked all hosed up is because every time something kills one of them, they grab the one that killed them, cut them up, and genetically modify themselves using pretty much Predator Steroids made from the recently dead prey. Also, their blood was supposed to be black until a bunch of fans (sadly, me too) yelled at Robert Rodriguez in a chat to keep it green. I don't regret that decision.

Predator blood is neon green, and should always be neon green. Klingon blood is a pinkish-purple, and should always be pinkish-purple.
