I find most 'posters' in this style pretty stupid and obnoxious, but this one really takes the cake.

Seriously, it's somehow even worse than that Matrix poster with the battery.

I wouldn't mind so much, but the image it inaccurately evokes isn't even from that version of Frankenstein.

I don't understand why everyone is so adamant that the Total Recall remake be identical to the Verhoeven film.

One of the biggest lost opportunities I can remember is when they made a 30 Rock porn parody. Predictably it was called "THIS AIN'T 30 ROCK: A XXX PARODY" or something lame like that, when it could have been called XXX Rock.

I mean think about it. GOD drat.

They should have called it Dirty Cock.

I get the feeling they're trying to sell this early Rodriguez by making a connection with Rodriguez's other movie, Sin City... Whether that connection is actually there or not.

Just a guess.

Hey, where's my First Time On Laserdisc edition?

I like how the "First time on blu ray" is much glossier than the "First time on DVD".

They're really playing up the imagery of Spider-Man being intrinsically linked to New York city in those posters. I like it.

Why? Because it's night now?

I would definitely say that the imagery is stronger now. Look at the way the streets curve around him in that second one. You can't tell me that's not effective.

I guess. I'm still not that taken with them. They're about as good as you can expect a Spiderman movie poster to be (?)

I admit they're not as good as the spider shadow one we got a few months back, that was a new direction while this is a more effective approach to what has already been done.

Never. I requested one back in January. Please post one.

Okay, I don't really have time to create a thread and make it good by inserting the appropriate amount of witticism so I'll do so in the next couple of days if nobody else does.

I also need to wait a bit as our trailers are in finishing at the moment and haven't debuted yet.

If ayone did it, I'd be very happy if it was you.

Fair enough. It's hard to do a funny trailer when all the jokes are red band material.

This was the impression I got. I didn't think it was so bad, I laughed at Ferrel's complaining about hand pain after punching a baby.

I just saw this and even though it isn't a poster I thought I would post it. It looks really lazy.

Even though that gets posted a lot I still can't believe my eyes whenever I see it.

Continuing the tradition, here's a fanmade Drive poster.

I wish someone would put a book of all these awful Drive fan-posters together.

Why do I feel like I'm playing a terrible flash game?

I hope that The Bloeurgrancey is actually something in the film and it's trying to get us talking about it early.

I might be interested in Dredd 3D if it didn't have 3D in the title.

It actually doesn't. The official title is the one that appears on screen, in this case "Dredd". I agree it is a stupid way to market the film though.

Honestly, I'm more interested in Toby Jones playing Hitchcock (presumably standing on a box) than I am in Hopkins doing the same.

Which has nothing wrong with it at all. This is a pretty bad photo as I couldn't see the viewfinder when I took it, but I think it sufficiently illustrates the point.

That box is about 42" around - I picked one that was bigger than Garrett Hedlund's torso to make up for my being longer in the arm than Olivia Wilde - and the top right corner as you look at it is a few inches short of being tight to the joint of my right shoulder. The reason my hand doesn't quite make it all the way around as in the poster is because the box has jutting corners while the torso curves.

I'm gonna need to see a more shots of this to be fully convinced. You need to do the Olivia Wilde pose fully.

This is the only possible reconstruction of Wilde's hidden right arm:

I'm sorry, but the only way I'm going to understand this is if you demonstrate on a box.
