One Sheet Wonders
Posters exist for movies that are coming out some time soon. We have them. We keep them to ourselves, but take pictures of them to prove to you that they actually exist. Then I make fun of them. This week's edition is super-sized.
I'd be lovin it too if I could stuff my face that full of fries and get paid for it. Maybe even pull in a little critical acclaim from Peter Travers as well. Sadly, years of eating at McDonalds just hasn't paid off for me. It has for this guy, a pseudo-documentarian with a Vegen girlfriend who set out to prove that eating McDonalds will kill you in Super Size Me. He's trying too hard and so is his poster which obnoxiously declares itself "epic" and includes a quote from Peter Travers who writes reviews solely for the purpose of being quoted. Thanks to this jerk, I won't be super-sizing anything.
If someone made a "Party of Five" movie, I imagine this is what the poster would look like. Collin Farrell actually almost looks respectable in this poster, a look which I doubt he'll be able to carry all the way through A Home at the End of the World. Collin see pretty girl, Collin bang pretty girl. Collin see pretty blonde boy, Collin... well you never know.
A lot of Harry Potter fans still believe this poster and the similarly themed Lupin poster from last week are fakes. A lot of Harry Potter fans also believe Christopher Columbus is a good director. Regardless, this is a pretty bland effort if it is a studio poster, especially compared with the lush character posters we've already seen for the film. On the other hand, it's a pretty convincing effort if it is just a fake fan poster, so to whoever made it: Great work or shame on you, depending on whether or not you got paid to make it.
These are beautiful posters. Unlike most of the Photoshop jobbies studios push out as one sheets, these are actual ART and I love every square inch of them. The Spider-Man marketing campaign just keeps getting better. It's like the dancing midget they bring out at your birthday party before finally getting to the cake. The themes seem so appropriate to the images, with Spidey swinging to Destiny, standing on the edge of Choice, and Sacrificing himself to save the girl. Beautiful work. All three would be comfortable on my wall, if only I had more walls.
