I think it is worthwhile to bring this one back from the "flood of lovely movie posters" thread.


Someone mentioned before that "one women" refers to her being cloned, so that's word play instead of a typo.

Also, a great website for fan-made posters is reelizer.com

It's weird seeing posters/cover art for animated movies without "from the creators of ..." plastered over it.
How hard can it really be to find an executive producer or screen writer who's associated with something that did well?

Something about this poster just looks odd to me.

In my case it's the Mona Lisa-esque expression on his face. I really have no idea what kind of emotion he's trying to portray there. He probably doesn't know either.

Edit: Mono Lisa doesn't care about your stereo sound!

Oddly enough, the poster/cover for Nothing To Lose is not as bad if you take a closer look at it. I mean, Martin Lawrence even starts to look like Martin Lawrence!


I think this is also another one of those odd billing situations. Notice how Martin Lawrence gets credited first at the bottom (on the embedded image).

I can't be the only one who wondered "WTF is K'Naan?" after seeing that poster.

And I think Robert Pattinson is kind of this generation's Leonardo DiCaprio right after Titanic. We (males) loath him right now, but he'll have some amazing roles in the (near) future.

86% claim to be able to hold a conversation in English, so yes. You can apply that to Scandinavia as well. If the poster had a tagline in Dutch I suspect people would actually be turned off from watching the movie, at least I think that would be the case here in Denmark if it was in Danish.

Confirming this. In The Netherlands movies are subbed, not dubbed. Movies for children are dubbed, but a cinema ("bioscoop"!) usually offers both the dub and sub. Most of it is animated stuff, although Harry Potter also had a dub.

I think its weird that they still haven't come up with a good solution to that and they're still just putting black make up around the eyes for the masks, even in the Nolan Batman movies. The best part is when the movies pretend that the make up doesn't exist and Batman takes off the mask and its just his normal face.

I kind of assume the twist is that the villain is a good guy who turned bad in order to prepare the Federation for an even bigger, upcoming threat. Cue: third movie.

I have to question the Pacific Rim tagline, though. "To fight monsters, we created monsters". But usually in stuff like this, that means... monstrous. And they're not really that at all. They're huge, but they're just big robots. Unless they're alive and slightly evil, it seems like a terrible line.

Plot twist: halfway through Pacific Rim turns out to be a live action adoptation of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

The king of product placement will always be Demolition Man. I remember when I first saw Americans referencing the Taco Bell scene which I thought was odd because I could have sworn that it was a Pizza Hut. Turns out they were so dedicated to their craft that they filmed different product placement scenes for different markets.

I wouldn't call a quick ADR job dedication.
