It amuses me to no end that the Keira Knightly photoshop boobjob is the only thing that people tend to remember about that movie. Wasn't it supposed to be one of the big summer movies in whichever year it was released in?

Spatula City posted:Well, I liked it a lot at the time. It was really cool-looking, though, and at the time I saw it (at a drive-in theater, which really enhanced it) Clive Owen was my FAVORITE ACTOR EVER. It has a stellar cast, led by Owen, Knightley, Mads Mikkelsen, Joel Edgerton, Ray Winstone, Stephen Dillane, Stellan Skarsgard, and Til Schweiger. I'd like to revisit it some time to see if it holds up. It made a fair amount of money world-wide ($50million in the US, but made back its budget internationally, taking in $150) so quite a lot of people obviously went to see it. But do people actually really remember it outside of the whole spot of bother with Knightly's breasts? It doesn't even get brought up in any other context either.

 Latest Cosmopolis poster. Pretty much the same as the teaser, but with the background and colour changed. The teaser was pretty boss, so it could be worse.  French Moonrise Kingdom poster - they appear to be using an actual cast photo, which is a nice change. It may be a photoshop, but nothing really leaps out as being "wrong" like other ones. And to bring the tone down a bit - Ice Age 4 posters. I guess the 3rd one was profitable enough, didn't see it so I can't comment on the quality of the film. These posters are a bit poo poo though.

Let's talk about posters. I know a lot of people here dislike this movie for various reasons, but I thought it was alright. I think this poster is quite brilliant - it's a simple design that gets the theme of the film across perfectly. The red hoody evokes the image of Little Red Riding Hood - a vulnerable, innocent young girl, but at the same time, it can also be a warning of the danger she represents. She has her back turned to us, so it feels like we're a predator sneaking up on her. She's standing on a bear trap, using herself as bait, which adds to the sense of danger as well. It probably doesn't need the text at the top, but in my opinion, this is a top notch poster.  This poster tells us a lot about Travis Bickle - he has his back turned to society, which according to this poster is urban decay and pornography. He's solitary, with his shoulders hunched as if to protect himself from a harsh, cruel world that is full of filth and scum that needs to be washed away and nothing really stands out about him. You'd probably lose him in the crowd, if he wasn't standing alone. I also wonder how many people got tricked by that tagline. It sounds like it would be perfectly at home on a poster for a movie like Fame or A Star Is Born.

A reverse GIS on the first two took me to a Prometheus fan art site, so that's a bit of a giveaway about whether or not they're authentic. Third one looks like someone slapped the title, "June," the Scott Free logo and Fox logo on to some officially released photos so who knows?

The one reflected in the eye piece is the Empire State Building, the one behind him is the Chrysler building. That poster has plenty of problems without needing you guys to start making poo poo up about what's in it.

Cartoon Man posted:I guess I ment horse movies in general, and your right, just because I'm sick of the genre doesn't mean their target demorgraphic won't keep paying money to see them. Already mentioned: Unleashed - lovely movie, Hoskins is the best part of it. Enemy at the Gates - lovely movie, Hoskins is the best part of it. Hook - Some people like it, I don't. Spice World - it's a cameo. Doomsday - lovely movie, Hoskins is one of the better parts of it. Christmas Carol - never seen it. Also: Mermaids Nixon Felicia's Journey Twenty Four Seven A Room for Romeo Brass Made in Dagenham Super Mario Brothers The moral of the story is, watch more Bob Hoskins movies.

What about the Thomas Crown Affair remake which was a serviceable heist movie, except for the bit where Rene Russo's character has to stop everything in the middle of exposition to guzzle down a soda (a Pepsi, I think) while everyone waits patiently for her to finish?

I guess we're supposed to immediately recognise the characters or something, but I've never read any Kerouac, so it means nothing to me. I'm sure the people Kerouac based his book on weren't half as pretty as that cast though.

Mr. Squishy posted:Is there any reason to care about this film if you don't like the book? I've heard a lot about it, but it's all boils down to "it's the first film adaptation of this well loved book". It's doing a fantastic job in ensuring I'll probably never see the movie with quotes from the book that I'm sure are meant to be profound statements about whatever. "I love love?" "The road is life?" gently caress off.

Jesus christ, enough with the product placement derail. I'm in two minds about this design. It's kind of lazy with a lot of empty space, but at the same time, it's sort of reminiscent of road signs which I guess makes sense.

Slasherfan posted:I thought they pulled this movie because of what happened to Trayvon Martin. This is an earlier poster, with just Stiller, Vaughan and Hill presumably making up the neighbourhood watch, complete with bullet holes and green stuff on a "no skeleton faced silhouettes wearing hoods" sign.  I'm guessing the new design with Ayoade's name added to the billing and then his photo placed as the first person in the ensemble is their attempt to try to let people know that it's not going to be like "George Zimmerman: American Hero" or anything like that.

But also this The Dark Knight campaign was more or less focused entirely on the characters, rather than who was in it - up until Heath Ledger passed away. After that, it was "Holy poo poo, look at Heath Ledger as the Joker! HOLY poo poo!"

Was browsing the new release DVDs and Blu-rays at an online store and ran into this... gem. It's got giant, ruggedly airbrushed Sean Bean looking intense at something but not pointing his gun at it and a bunch of guys running in unison from a series of explosions.

Wasn't there a thread about Danny Dyer films? It's probably been archived, but IIRC, according to that thread his presence was pretty much a sure sign that the movie was going to blow.

International poster for Spider-Man. It gives us a much better look at the costume than the other ones, but nothing amazing (har har) about it. He still looks like he just went and rolled around in a vat of lard as well.
