I'm not entirely sure if this is the best place, but I suppose design questions aren't entirely off-topic. Does anyone know the title font used for the movie 1408? Example:

It's not a poster per se, but Come the gently caress on. Look at that loving tagline.

That reminds me of Near Dark getting a Twilight-esque cover for the Blu-Ray release. Fun times all around.

Is that a common thing in some countries? I don't think I've ever seen a poster or box straight up like YO THIS OTHER MOVIE SUCKS WATCH THIS ONE INSTEAD save for really stupid parodies but that doesn't really count.

It's the first time I've ever seen something like that. Really got a laugh out of me too.  "What's this?" "Oh, it's Battle Royale. It's the thing The Hunger Games totally ripped off, but MUCH BETTER."

If Jonathan Ross says your film is much better than Titanic you're gonna put that poo poo on the poster.

The Region 4 DVD for Taegukgi had "Saving Private Ryan was a minor scuffle in comparison" or some such nonsense written on it, while The Other Conquest has "By comparison, 'Apocalypto' was just a rumble in the jungle" on the DVD cover. Also, this:  At least the Battle Royale one up there is basically saying "If you liked 'MOVIE,' then this one with superficial similarities may be up your alley." I mean, it's not difficult to mention another movie to promote yours without denigrating it, or using a comparative quote that denigrates another movie. Doing that, in my opinion, just makes you look like a massive shithead. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Feb 17, 2014 |

At least the Matrix came out before Equilibrium, so it sorta makes sense that they'd compare their movie to it. Battle Royale is trying to sell itself by comparing it to a movie that came out 12 years later.

Ha ha! What dicks. I remember the Machinist poster having a quote comparing it to Fight Club making it rather spoilery. Yes I am putting a spoiler tag there in case someone hasn't seen the machinist and doesn't want the twist ruined by a stupid loving poster tagline edit: Here's the poster too

Sometimes jamming in that "From the director of" doesn't really make a lot of sense. Bad Taste and Meet the Feebles got the same jolly Peter Jackson treatment. Going to go out on a limb here, but the target market for LOTR and Jacksons early movies doesn't really intersect much.

That's loving stupid but hopefully it got more people to watch it so I have some people to talk to about the amazing poo poo-kicker bar scene.

I mean, it was and you really need to know that to understand the movie. So I don't see a problem with this poster, besides being very ugly. Edit: Oh poo poo, I think I read it wrong. Is this the cover of the Odyssey?

I don't think anyone ever said "oh yeah this game where a giant cleopatra shits out babies from her nipples was awesome, I should read the book" but gotta give them points for at least trying.

People that act mad because "Hunger Games is a ripoff of Battle Royale" always strike more as people that are trying really hard to be angry at the popular thing rather than people that have a point that should be listened to.

Did the Buffy movie ever get a Mondo poster? I'm just trying to imagine how much neon pink they'd use.

Man, it's pretty remarkable how far this comes from capturing the tone of the movie. This is the movie that has Paul (Pee-Wee Herman) Reubens in what's arguably the longest death scene put to film.

Nah, I'm sure there's a directive down from the top of every studio to twilight-ise the cover of every property that can be.

I can't find a picture of it right now but if I remember correctly, shortly after The Last Samurai was released, they also put out a new box for the Shogun miniseries subtitled "The first Samurai". Though I found that one to be kind of funny in its own right.

They didn't try to get dramatic photos or anything.
