Liar posted:I really, really wish Lucas had the balls to abandon that CGI crap and move on to some live action. The film would have probably cost $250 million that way. Lucas may technically have that money but I doubt he has all of it as liquid assets at this very moment. And I like the colorfulness of it. Real life is not washed out even if there's a war on.

Desperado Bones posted:And I don't like the posters for Red Tails. When you talk to me about serious WWII movies, I think of vintage and Saving Private Ryan. Not awesome CGI loving EXTREME airplanes and dubstep. To draw this out even further- I don't think the movie is trying to be a gritty portrait of the realities of war like SPR, but rather a fun action-adventure.

Payndz posted:What. The. gently caress? I feel like they guess they have to do a new cover when they do a new edition of a DVD, just so nobody gets confused and you can pick out the latest/best/preferred release, and for all the early releases they just used the poster, so now they have to make things up and they're not very good at it.

The best/most terrifying thing I learned about octopi was that there was an experiment where they had two of them in a tank, separated by a clear glass partition. They gave one of them a jar with a fish inside. The octopus feels around for a bit, gradually works out how to unscrew the jar and eats the fish. They put a jar with a fish on the other side. The other octopus instantly unscrews it and eats the fish inside. They learn by watching. This is huge in the animal kingdom.

Cabin in the Woods seems to be a weird case where the campaign improved due to the movie being on the shelf. The first ones- eh, kinda funny, might be a goofy spoof:   Then it delayed forever, usually a bad thing for a movie, now there's this:  Now THAT'S attention-getting.

uPen posted:I imagine that these contracts which have such specific stipulations about elements on a piece of advertisement is mostly why this thread exists. Well, partly. It's also because the studios and distributors will micromanage the advertising because they can, and so you get the "Rasta-fy him by 20%" factor. Plus things like billing and ad prominence are common in contracts because they're small and easily tradable. Instead of paying the star 20 million, the studio can pay him 15 million plus points off the back end plus your name is above the title plus you get the bigger Gulfstream and all the Gummi Bears you can eat, and all these things cost the studio less. (Unless the star really loves him some Gummi Bears.)

Vintersorg posted:Plus John Carter was great with lovely marketing. That's the joke. I dunno, I think the TDKR ads thusfar do a good job of conveying a sense of everything falling apart. There may be some minor issues but I can definitely get the "message", that this is a film about Gotham (and so society, etc.) on the brink of total destruction.

Regarding foreign titles, two of the better ones I saw in a French video store were "Hamburger Film Sandwich" (Kentucky Fried Movie) and "Cheeseburger Film Sandwich" (Amazon Women on the Moon). And in Italy, Silent Running was "2002: Second Odyssey", while an obscure comedy called Martians Go Home was released as "Spaceballs 2". I love Italian copyright law.

Handsome Dead posted:Pretty much everything he's been the lead on has failed or sucked. I enjoy him, but the nerd cache he has is absurd. Well, the studios don't care about "sucked" anyway. But I actually was thinking the same thing about Fillion after Drive was cancelled after two weeks- "Man, this guy's career has gotta be in trouble." But someone explained to me that to casting directors and producers, what matters is that he can play a lead- he won't sell tickets with his name but he can be relied on to play that part credibly. Firefly, Slither, etc. all gave him enough cachet to get the lead in Castle, which was a hit. Hollywood is funny like that. There's an old quote from one memoir or another (bear in mind inflation), "If a director makes a movie for $20 million and it's a flop, what matters is that he brought it in for $20 million. The worst thing you can do is have a small hit." It's rare for your career to just end because your movies/shows don't do well. "Box office poison" is rarely something people get (and of course, the source of that term was Katherine Hepburn after Bringing Up Baby, and shortly after that she played The Philadelphia Story on Broadway and then on film and was a profitable star again.)
