I'm oddly excited for Hugh Keays-Byrne; they're still holding to the 'cast great obscure Australian character actors' formula, I see, and he was great in Farscape. The fact he gets his own character poster, as if anyone besides nerds like me knows who he is, is great.

The weird thing about those posters is how they interlock. Tom Hardy is seen in the Nicholas Hoult poster, who leads into the Charlize Theron poster, which features a tiny Keays-Byrne hanging out the window, which goes into his poster.

The casting of Hugh Keays-Byrne also follows the formula of casting Bruce Spence in two completely different roles in Mad Max 2 and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome Hugh Keays-Byrne played the lead villain, Toecutter in Mad Max, back in 1979.

The answer is that this "Vision" character, whom nobody has heard of, is using the effect same upright, legs together, arms spread flying pose that is commonly used by "Magneto," a character people have heard of. They're also trolling that dude from the previous page who was super upset about it.

You would think they wouldn't want to confuse people by having multiple versions of the same character everywhere.

We're so close to the inevitable end of this discussion, when one of CD's comic book nerds starts blowing out blood vessels, strokes out, and posts from his hospital bed, typing angrily with only one arm.

It's bullshit that the human torch hasn't said "flame time" even once in these new movies and just gone to town on everyone. Rise of the Silver Surfer is still the best Marvel movie so far imo.

Vagabundo posted:The posters basically get across what the big selling point for the Mad Max movies are - chaotic vehicular mayhem in rural South Australia. I also kind of like the Imperator Furiosa one. Except it wasn't filmed in SA this time  It rained for loving ages and turned the desert into an English garden. Coolest thing that could have happened here in a while and we blew it, good job rain.

The ending of the first one is the only noteworthy thing about it, the second is a classic and the third has Tina Turner for some reason.

In the 1980s in L.A. there was an independent cable channel that used to show loads of Australian movies from the 1970s and '80s. Many of them were great, some were godawful and a few were responsible for some... interesting... posters.   And he really was terrifying!

I think he might just hate Australians. I mean who can blame them. If there anything The Proposition, Wake in Fright and Neighbors have taught me it's that Australians are a nation of sweaty goblinoids that draw nourishment from misery and hatred. Except for Harold of course.

LARGE THE HEAD posted:Hahaha that Tarantino quote Tarentino has a pretty apt knowledge of Australian Oz-Spolitation films as he kept getting copies of them when working in a video store and being completely blown away by films where women were tied naked to the front of moving cars. The background to half of Australia's film industry is we got an R rating in the 70's, went balls and tits out with making as many grindhouse films as we could, and then Star Wars and Jaws came along and we had no chance in hell to compete against blockbusters during the 80's and have reverted to doing dramas about mid-life crisis.
