Since the White Stripes music video this just keeps coming back in graphic design whenever somebody feels like it hasn't been done for some time now.

And that triangle seems to be pretty fundamental to the architecture in high-rise, it's not just something the graphic designer pulled out.

I'm not saying it's new, it just got really popular for a while because of the music video and nowadays comes back from time to time.

The worst part (of a long list) of Now You See Me is that half of what they do is literally unexplainable magic.

I saw a trailer for this during the lovely 20 - minute lead up that some theaters do before the trailers.
It looks worse than any Disney Channel movie.

Also, YouTube Red is awfully close to RedTube. Someone either didn't think that through or knew exactly what they were doing.

You can't do both. You can't have the montage explaining half the tricks and then have them able to jump off a building and turn into money.

That was definitely the working title. I know a bunch of movie news websites were using that for any news about it (which wasn't much because who cares).

The only reason you would ever want to see a magician heist movie is to see how they pulled off the tricks.

Otherwise go watch Harry Potter or Merlin or something.

Aren't they being a little overconfident by assuming Now You See Me is enough of a pop culture presence that these posters can just use an acronym? How many people that walk by that poster are going to be able to remember/figure out what NYSM is?

Edit: Haha I just saw someone asked this exact question on the last page. It really makes no sense though.

I though Sherlock Holmes (the first one) did a pretty good job of this idea.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Speaking of undesirable sequels, it was pretty funny that somebody casually mentioned Jarhead 2 here this week (or perhaps it was in the trailer thread) and today I just happened to stumble upon a Jarhead 3 DVD in a store. What the hell. The cover made it look like a serious action romp too. I'm guessing the main character fires his weapon many a time.

Now You See Me was a movie clearly designed to be carried off by a lead character with overwhelming charisma and then they cast Jesse Eisenberg.

Really I just hated all the protagonists and hadn't been given any motivation to want them to get away with poo poo. The movie just kinda assumed I'd be on their side because they were the leads without actually doing anything to get me on their side.

Now You See Me was one of the few movies that I've activly hated. The protagonists were smug untouchable jerks so I ended up rooting for the antagonists ala the Tom & Jerry effect.

Also they framed and ruined the life of Everyone's Black Grandpa / God without even trying to make us dislike him.

He's good for roles he's suited for but they keep shoving him in things he's awful for and he's just insufferable in then.

That's almost every modern heist movie. Ocean's 11 remake kinda kicked off the smug untouchable heist thing and the smugness only grew from there.

Yeah, they say he ruined Mark Ruffalo's dad's career but he wasn't even indirectly responsible for the death. I guess he's also supposed to be a bad guy because he reveals magic tricks but the movie spends a ton of time doing that itself.

Jesse Eisenberg isn't the lead, you spend the majority of the movie with Mark Ruffalo.
