For one thing, Sarah Silverman’s unfocused corpse eyes are freaking me out.īoy, they really went a different direction with this Julie & Julia spinoff. It’s a great scene, but I’m not sure I like it as a poster. That’s a power move, by the way, masturbating in the prone like that. You probably wouldn’t know it unless you’d seen the movie, but this image comes from a scene where Sarah Silverman’s character masturbates with her daughter’s teddy bear. I hope that T-rex gets a lot of screen time.Īlso, do you think it’s not called The Good Dinosaur in Germany to avoid the association with The Good German? You do probably want to avoid overt Nazi allusions in your emo dinosaur movie, generally speaking. The main guys are designed simply, almost a blank slate, and then the detail work on everything around them is incredible. The protagonists and the other characters almost seem like they’re in different movies. Is it just me, or does the main dinosaur in The Good Dinosaur basically look like Yoshi from Nintendo? Oy, how many more times do we need to make this movie? Like, if the guy who made this was your friend, how long do you think you could pretend a high school zombie movie was a super cool and original idea to humor him? Five minutes? Ten? “Ooh, and does the plucky high-school guy fight the zombies with home-made weaponry? Golly!” I assume people making horror movies just make sure they have a hot girl and a scary thing and figure that covers all their bases.
Which is a horror film about… uh… Nooses? Sentient trees that strangle you with their noose vines? If so, at the very least, this poster does a great job illustrating a plot that would sound ridiculous out loud. Would you have known that that’s Natalie Dormer if I hadn’t just told you? Well, it is, and she’s got a face like noose forest in this new poster for The Forest. Incidentally, the first five characters listed on IMDb are “Guy,” “Girl,” “Miranda,” “Teacher,” and “Chaos.” But hey, who needs memories when you have incredibly pouty lips? I can only juuust tell that stuff at the top is supposed to be a burned house, and even then, only because the movie is called Embers. I get it now, but no one’s ever going to accuse this poster designer of giving too much away. The synopsis for Embers reads, “After a global neurological epidemic, those who remain search for meaning and connection in a world without memory.” “VATER GEGEN STEIFVATER.” Achtung, kinder! Your vote determines who will control the Fatherland! The German makes it sound so much more dramatic. Stuff That Is Too Small For That Dog.” That is the basis of Marmaduke, which is timeless. I know you don’t want to confuse the audience, especially in comedy (“no one laughs when they’re confused,” or so the old saying goes), but I confess I’m not looking forward to more reductive “_ vs. I wonder what surprises this story will have in store! I bet the script is a feast of one-upmanship (my favorite kind of upmanship). Step-Dad.” (It’s hard to say what came first, the script or the marketing campaign). Frat?” That was Neighbors‘ marketing campaign, and that made a jillion dollars, and thus we have Daddy’s Home and “Dad vs. Are they looking at each other? Why does Rooney Mara have weird dolls behind her? I think I’ve been hypnotized. I keep scrolling up and down like it’s an eye puzzle. I think this is the first time I’ve seen this style of poster, with the sexy movie stars foregrounded by a bunch of blurry nobodies that almost cover them up. Frankly, if it weren’t for This Week in Posters, I would have no idea this movie existed. For one thing, now I know it’s about a bus. Bus 657 is a way better title, by the way. The most interesting thing about this poster is that Heist is apparently called Bus 657 in Spanish. Honestly, do you know hard it is for me to praise a poster that deliberately omits Baby Goose’s face? This one is that good. Instead, they trusted that the names alone were enough to sell this thing without mucking up the cool concept with a bunch of floating heads.
#STAR WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS MOVIE POSTERS CRACK#
Christian Bale transforming is like crack for… well, pretty much everyone. It would’ve been easy to go the “Look at handsome Christian Bale play an unglamorous oddball guy!” route. And the dollars are falling from the sky because… uh… subprime loans or something.Īnyway, I liked this book a lot and I hope Adam McKay does it justice, and the poster gives me hope.
Get it? The homeowners are “underwater” on their mortgages. We begin this week’s This Week in Posters with Paramount’s new poster for Adam McKay’s adaptation of Michael Lewis’s The Big Short (trailer here).
