This change was a) hilarious but also b) stupid as hell because the murder was Bates's sexual release. How did Van Sant not get that??

I've never seen this movie but judging by the poster they're running an escort service out of a morgue?

That's exactly what they're doing. I've never seen that poster and it's really impressive that they conveyed such a weird premise so consisely.

Yo what the hell is this poo poo?

There's one that's tonally opposed to the film and one that's just a copy of the real poster with different colors and more junk on the sides.

One did Mondo make one so similar to the original?!!!

Or more like why did Mondo make one that has nothing to do with the film and also one that's a big ripoff of the regular one, you beep-boop robot jackass.

Hmm they made two things that are bad in two different ways, does not compute, GUESS ONE MUST ACTUALLY BE GOOD.

The Jaws one has lots to do with the film, just nothing to do with the shark. Jaws is as much about Amity Island as it is the Great White who terrorizes it.

Sure but that doesn't capture the spirit of Amity at all. It's got some of the visuals, sure, but the umbrella tilted like that, the Great Gatsby-ish font, all the heads down, and that leg, it's coy and sort of jazz age-ish. It doesn't capture the era, the feel, or the emotional undercurrent of the town in the film.

It's just loving fancy clipart. It's a better poster for the Redford Gatsby film than for Jaws.

The whole 1920's travel poster woefully misfires as it's implying a gilded, sophisticated tone that is so far removed from anything within the film's subject.

Well the humans are used as an energy source for the robots, and Morpheus explains that to Neo by showing him a battery, so at least there's more than one meaning behind it.

Slate Action posted:

If there was a Crystal Skull poster in that same style, it wouldn't make sense to repeat the theme of Indy being alone in the center, since much of the movie is more about 'The Jones Family' than just Indy by himself (continuing a trend started in Crusade with the introduction of his father?)

None of them are about Indy in isolation. The whole premise of Raiders is Indy learning to accept and embrace how much he cares about Marion.

The composition of this is mindblowing. The random streak on the left indicating motion, from the lazily hacked together Cage, including poorly photoshopped tie, making him look like he's from the 1800s at first glance, to the feet melting into the sand, back to what appears to be the plane still in motion grinding against the ground, to the generic city skyline in the background... it's an almost meta piece of commentary on the modern state of film posters.

It is a terrible poster, but I think the plane is supposed to be in the act of crashing and the streak on the left is smoke from the engine.

The problem I have is that it looks like Cage is walking away from the wreckage, like a survivor or something. Considering he's all on his lonesome in the middle of the desert with the plane, it just boggles the mind.

This thread is now officially a short story contest - who can write the best reason for Cage being next to that plane?

I was in Hollywood this morning and noticed this poster. The movie is from 1933 so it's not surprising that Dr. Yen is played by a Dane named Nils Asther but I was surprised that Barbara Stanwyck is drawn in a see through gown and yes, you can see her nipples.



The Bitter Tea of General Yen is great, don't knock it. And pre-code posters were ALL ABOUT see-through dresses.

After seeing The League of Gentlemen over the free Criterion weekend I got to say it has an amazing poster. There's something terrifyingly Orwellian about the stylized bowler, gas mask and sten gun:



I also finally appreciate the skewering that Pelham 123 gives to the whole concept of 'military raid' robberies against civilians. The British military mastermind Mr. Blue has to be a send up of the colonel's meticulous plan in League.

Wow, I've never even heard of this one. That's a beautiful poster.
