Gonz posted:I just read the entire synopsis for Lifeforce. Lifeforce is the most bananas film you'll ever see that's not trying to be wacky or out there. It's earnestly ridiculous. It's so mad that months after you see it, it'll be a haze of ridiculous and impossible imagery that makes no sense. It looks extremely 80s in that drop-off-into-black kind of way and and the cheap film stock has a kind of documentarian feel about it sometimes, especially in the steets at the end. The fact that the cast can keep a straight face is actually sort of amazing. It's by no means a a good film, but it does deserve watching.

In terms of posters we have up, mine is endlessly predictable, but I've always loved this one. Mostly for the tagline; it's bold and incredulous - but delivered completely deadpan, and it nails the tone of the film. I also enjoy the dark softness of the poster, the lack of the heroic stance, etc.

It's a beautiful screencap from a beautiful film. It's A) a million times better than the awful original poster, where it's clear what they were going for but missed the mark by a mile by hiring a budget artist B) a billion times better than the Kinkade-esque Drew Struzan sub-Star Wars Final Cut cover art. "Lazy" has nothing to do with it. It's a stupid term. Does the poster need to do 20 push ups or something? It's a good visual. I'm mostly bored of 'clever' or graphic design heavy films. The poster nails the tone perfectly. That's what it's supposed to do. It might well be a screencap for the film, but that's fine, because the film itself is a work of art. The light, the grain, the tone, it's all there. Pfft, "lazy".

As an aside, that image/graphic of the car comes up in fan art/posters loads. It's a trace of a photo of a friends car that I took in a field in Derby about 10 years ago. I can always spot it because of the profile and that it copies all the wrong pipes on the back. (doesn't make the poster any worse, just makes me laugh)

Ironically that colour scheme DOES appear in the film for a bit, but in the 1950's. But I'm sure that they didn't pick up on that and were going for a Drive scheme instead.

Cinnamon Bastard posted:The thing that takes this from irritating to infuriating is that the logo is wrong. The "broken apart" logo appeared well after Ghostbusters came out, in something like the late nineties. You got almost everything - you missed the grey of the flightsuits as the backing colour. (I made it as a joke; the coffee ring was a happy accident. Was going to take the crumpled paper thing to it's ridiculous conclusion but that 'worked' better)

Cinnamon Bastard posted:So, congrats on totally tricking me... by... making something terrible? It was just a joke, really. I reckon it can go toe-to-toe with the other terrible ones in here. Cinnamon Bastard posted:It gives us a nice little peak that these three have been friends a long time, and that there's old jokes shared between them, reenforced by a closeup reaction shot of Ray grinning. I don't even think that it's "Ray" grinning in that scene, it's all Dan. One of the many many reasons I love that film is how comfortable chucking in a casual little joke like that which tells you so much. I can't think of a modern film that wouldn't make more of a thing of it, or over explain it, or even use it at all.

The art direction for Robocop actually looks fine, unless you specifically mean Robo's armour (which lets face it, thats what most of the complaints are about), in which case you have to accept it's dealing with a contemporary aesthetic. That was always the point.

There's every chance Robocop will suck for the reason most films suck, but I see more promise than not in the trailer. Steve Jobs Keaton is casting of the year as far as I'm concerned.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Found footage Jim Jones movie, yes. I find myself asking "is this necessary" and then another part of me argues "why does it need to be" and then the first part of me thinks "no, it really needs to be necessary". I have a problem with the idea of this film and I don't really know why?

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Well, he's not ACTUALLY Jim Jones. Frankly it's one of the natural fits for the motif, the three best known things about Jonestown are: TV footage intended for air in the US with creepy poo poo going on in the periphery, the shootout on the airstrip and a 2 hour+ long audio recording of a mass suicide. I just sort of feel that the footage is already out there - it happened, it was documented, it was very real. Any take on it sensationalises it, and maybe I don't mean 'demeans' it but it does kind of demean it - the audio file out there is full of real, tangible, human emotion, a dramatisation or even a derivative work like this just seems surplus to sum human requirements. It's an odd position to take which I wouldn't normally, but something about this kinda bugs me.
