Speaking of posters, I was very surprised when I walked past a local movie theater and saw Rooney Mara's tits on the poster for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Didn't expect that at all.

You mean the one with exposed nipples? Where do you live where they've got that poster hanging up?

The nippled Dragon Tattoo poster is hanging up here in Charleston, South Carolina, but I don't think anyone's noticed it.

I'm kind of shocked that they even distributed that posted in the US. I'd have figured that poster hung up in a theater would have lasted all of a day before somebody started complaining.

The first trailer I saw for this actually looked pretty interesting up until the end. Getting super powers and loving with people in several different ways is totally cool, but making a lovely driver drive off the road simply will not fly! Then the guy's friends all think he's evil and should be stopped or something?

They were all being dicks with their powers. He wasn't the only one.

Yes, scaring a girl in a toy store is the same as causing a potentially fatal auto accident! I can't see any difference between those things at all. :rolleyes:

The more I look at that Moss poster, the more I like it. The small size of the photo doesn't do it any favors but I bet it'll look quite nice in a proper poster size. Sauron's tower is the handle for Narsil, and the blade is the space between cliffs.

I looked at her wiki and she's 20. Every girl in this is over 20, so all the "ew this is so gross!" about it in this thread is the weirdest thing. Former Disney stars of both genders doing something "edgy" to break out of that "good girl/boy" image is not at all a new thing, and these women are doing it at a later age than usual (Brittney Spears being something like 16 in the Hit Me Baby One More Time video, for instance).

The implication that somebody is looking forward to a girl turning legal age so they can oogle/wank to them is loving creepy. Hope this helps clear things up for you!

That's... kind of a good poster. Those are minimally photoshopped pics of the leads. Making it look like google's webpage immediately evokes what this is going to be about.

Mondo posters have never cost hundreds of dollars new. That ET poster is $45 and the Jaws poster is $60.

They essentially do cost that much, since you have a window of about 30 seconds tops to buy them "retail" prices before they're only available from flippers.

There's nothing inherently wrong with a poster that speaks to people who have already seen the movie. That stuff is usually lovely because it's fan posters, not anything else.

Since we were talking a week or two ago about people doing Vallejo or Franzetta "maximalist" poster to counter all the minimalist fan posters, I've been thinking about doing just that. Currently, the only one I can think of is Office Space, but what would anyone else want to see as some "muscle and tits fantasy art" rendition of a movie?

It's the ship at warp.

The effect is all wrong though, as the motion lines on the poster make it look like the ship is flying backwards, away from the viewer.

I'm sure there's a good technobabble reason to explain it though!

Not that it matters for what is primarily an attractive visual presentation, but an object passing you traveling faster-than-light will actually (given certain assumptions about the possibility of such objects existing) create a blurred version of the object appearing to retreat once it has gone by. See the illustration below of a tachyon passing an observer, where the dim sphere is the FTL object and the blue and red shapes are distortions of the sphere appearing to retreat in opposite directions.



Since when have Star Trek and Science ever really hung out together? Sure they pretend to be friends but Star Trek is a real dick when the chips are down.

The nice thing about those is while they're nostalgia bait, they're also somewhat evocative to an uninformed viewer. Of course, the problem is 2 of the 3 don't really evoke the right feeling.

What does this even mean?

He means the trope of the villain getting caught, and it turns out getting captured was a vital part of his plan (whereupon he hacks the gibson/makes a masterful escape). Bonus trope points if the good guy's leader pitches a hissy fit saying "he did this RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES", or if the good guys were dumb enough to put some vital macguffin in the same building as the supervillian.

I really don't get the marketing campaign for this movie. The previous one made a ton of cash and showed a lot more things on the posters that screamed 'Star Trek'. This time around I've seen a grand total of one poster with even one shot of the Enterprise. It's all very surprising, but it does make me wonder if someone believes this movie is somehow a tough sell? I don't get it.

Star Trek fans will go see this regardless of the teaser poster. By minimizing the name and classic imagery, they're hoping to rope in some people that might not otherwise see it.

Besides, not every Star Trek poster needs to be a beauty shot of the ship.

What's even funnier is it's painfully obvious how easy it would be to avoid that.

You could literally put the H A S in the center three pillar voids, then leave the other two pillar voids empty for spacing.
