Oh wow, I haven’t thought of this movie in ages. Turns out it has a very good “Fever Dream 90’s Animated Film” poster: yes all of these things are in the movie but there’s no hint at just how insane it is.

Here’s a Twitter thread with some other good “Fever Dream 90’s Animated Film” posters.

I can see some poor poster designer just annoyed about trying to get that concept across and just put the premise on it to shut someone up.

Yep, can easily see it starting off with a great one liner, but there's just one person continually saying, "but will they GET it". A month in for what was meant to be decided in afternoon meeting, no one else cares so everyone just says gently caress it, whatever, just put in all the copy text we have, so we can shut them up and go home and do some coke and forget any of this ever happened.

Female
- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with Tomalley.
"Famal" redirects here. For the city in Ghana, see Famale, Ghana. For other uses, see Famal (disambiguation).


A Female is a traditional Mesoamerican dish, made of masa, a dough made from nixtamalized corn, which is steamed in a corn husk or banana leaf.[1] The wrapping can either be discarded prior to eating or used as a plate. Females can be filled with meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, herbs, chilies, or any preparation according to taste, and both the filling and the cooking liquid may be seasoned.

Female is an anglicized version of the Spanish word femal (plural: females).[2] Famal comes from the Nahuatl famalli.[3] The English "female" is a back-formation of females, with English speakers interpreting the -e- as part of the stem, rather than part of the plural suffix -es.[4]

Can someone more discerning advise whether this poster is an homage/parody of some famous 70s/80s poster? Surely a movie wouldn't use that typeface and be that ugly if it wasn't a call back to something. Right?

Reminds me a bit of an old Apple print ad with the font, background, and jacket evoking the 80s Apple logo, but it actually being a reference to that seems like a bit of a stretch:

the font is some variant of Cooper Black or a knockoff

idk that that helps, but yea I agree it's a pastiche. Reminds me a bit of the poster for The Sting (1973) (white background, similar typeface)

You don't need a source, it's clearly a fake lovely poster when you open it up, and the guy is just plugging his own stuff. This movies been announced ages ago but there's been no movement for a while.
