awesome new poster for the new Gaspar Noe film Enter the Void:

I really dont know anything about this film, I love Noe, the guy is super talented if not super-deranged. Does anybody know anything about this film? Plot synopsis or anything? I’m curious as this one has snuck up on me….

Here’s one that I mentioned on the Heaven and Hell episode…..not a horror film so much but Gary Busey freaked me out when I saw this as a youngster….Carny is the name of the film….been meaning to put this up here forever…

“You Know you’ve made it, when your heads gotten a little bit bigger”

Anybody else wish there was a search function on this forum? I know I do..

But I digress, found this funny little video pretty much expressing my (and seemingly our) lament over modern movie poster designs

movie poster floating heads

And I found this site, in case anyone else is an extremely bored, art nerd like myself, you can browse through oodles and oodles of movie posters =P

http://www.impawards.com/gallery.html

M: you rock in a big way. I literally could’ve spent hours upon hours looking at all of those posters..  As well, the floating poster heads bit was good.. Here’s the biggest WTF?? poster I found though.. what does that tag line even mean? what does the white cat’s head mean? my brain hurts in a big way

WTF????

That poster is awesome and I need to see that film yesterday…..Sam Elliott and Katherine Ross…..husband and wife…..in real life…..smurfin I am adding to Netflix Q….

Also below, why do I not own this film….another WTF?

Check out the tag line though….classic!!!!

And so the power of movie posters is made abundantly clear! Really, I just want something between the floating heads and these (movie posters from poland.. and the 80s… they are very very 80s) http://wellmedicated.com/inspiration/50-incredible-film-posters-from-poland/ Really is that too much to ask? Concept = Way more interesting to look at than Morgan Freeman’s magic face dots. Well you know what I mean.

I’ve added Legacy to my queue as well.. but WHAT DOES IT’S TAG LINE MEAN??? I can’t even begin to fathom it.. Big Zapper looks awesome.. I concur M that concept does = much more interesting than X-actors face(s) slapped on said poster..

I’m an avid Poster collector.

Here is my Italian poster for one of my fav’s signed by Romero.

I have said it before and I’ll say it again….concept doesnt sell films anymore because we are a more celebrity driven culture now….it is a shame that we know more about who gains what amount of weight/who loses same said amount and how their children are doing…..I say this in the most sincere way I can….I dont give a smurfin about Brangelina’s kids or how many houses they buy….lets get back to when a story was enough to keep us entertained or story concepts…..bring the art back to movie posters and cinema in general…..I’ll step down….from this slippery soapbox….

Putting movie stars on posters is fine, but I miss the hand drawn versions….it somehow meant more to me…am I weird?

You arent weird, but along with the celebrity driven culture, you have the big business that is Hollywood, where everything comes down to the bottom line. Better, faster, cheaper. As much as I love the design programs I use such as photoshop, I also really hate them for what they’ve created. No talent hacks that become designers/“artists” and know the least amount of desktop publishing to get by. Obviously its way quicker and cheaper to make a poster chockful of airbrushing and big headed collage-y goodness than to search out, hire an artist and “avoid” time consuming elements like if the rough drafts of said poster aren’t up to par. sigh. Ill stop for now.

I see what F13 appreciates about you so much there M….nice point of view….ramble on sista…...ramble on….

Some of My favorites…

That Clockwork Orange poster is still my all-time fav….the font used for the letters and everything….it tells you nothing about the film and then after you see the film, it tells you everything…..nice…...

Heh thanks Samurai. But I should also warn I get this rabid concerning show posters/flyers and even hotel luggale labels as well. I just have higher standards, what can I say?
