Movie Posters

OK, thanks, annarborjack! :slight_smile:

Apperantly I can’t go to the movies today. :frowning:

It’s OK, man. :slight_smile: Whenever you can do it, it’ll be OK!

annarborjack: Is this the Tron: Legacy poster that you saw?

Anyways, I’ve just recently seen Disney’s A Christmas Carol, which was personally a really good adaptation of the story, and I’ve seen some new posters, including one of which that I need help finding out what movie it is…

  • Alice In Wonderland - Also, saw a trailer for this before the movie, and I’ve to say it’s pretty impresive. :slight_smile:

  • Toy Story 3 (Buzz & Rex character posters) - I’m impatiently waiting for this film to be released! :smiley:

  • The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (standee) - It’s a very weird, but interesting movie… (it’s also, sadly, Heath Ledger’s last movie role… :frowning: )

  • Beastly - Do I even like it? looks at poster and sees Vanessa Hudgens named on it Nope. :stuck_out_tongue: OK, moving on…

  • There was this one poster that I couldn’t find out the name of the movie of but here’s a brief description of what it looked like:

*It said in BIG letters on the top “LIVE LARGE”
*It showed a side picture of a dog riding in a red car going down what appears to be an L.A. street? (I think I saw a palm tree in there somewhere)
*On the side door of the car, there was a sticker that said, “The Duke Arrives” and then some release date that was hard to make out from far away…

This poster reminded me somewhat of the DVD cover of Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts, but this is a completley different movie. Could somebody help me figure out what the name of the movie is called for this poster?

That better not be what I think it is :shake:

What is it, annarborjack! :open_mouth: Do you know what this movie is called? Please let me know! The suspense is killing me, what is it?! <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/youwhaaa.gif” alt=“o_0;;” title="You

Whaaa…" />

Its only what I think it is,and its not something to want to know about
When you hear what I think,you’ll say,OH GOD NO NO NO!

annarborjack is right. You really don’t wanna know. I would say it, but he can say it.

Marmaduke :shake:

NO!!! :open_mouth: world explodes Jesus! Is Hollywood running out of ideas these days! I hope that one day 20th Century Fox can release something that has nothing to do with classic cartoon characters (in Marmaduke’s case, not so classic!).

Anyways, I FINALLY saw Avatar two days ago, and I went to another theater to see it, so here’s what I saw…

  • Toy Story 3 - The ‘3’ logo one, again, but the strange thing was that there were two of them. :open_mouth: One of them was one of those standee-type ones and then one of the hallways had the actual poster, it’s kinda weird, but I actually like this, 'cause now many kids can know about this, and maybe go see it. :slight_smile:

  • Karate Kid (remake) - The poster was alright, but it looked pretty lame for a teaser. All it had was the silhouette of the kid against a red background…that was about it. :confused: The trailer didn’t look too bad, but, then again, only time will tell…

  • Some film with Leonardo DiCaprio standing in a deserted city, kinda looked like the poster for I Am Legend. Shutter Island? I couldn’t see the title 'cause there was a line-up for probably Alvin & the Chipmunks ( :imp: ).

  • Twilight: Eclipse - Does anybody realize that the film is being released a week AFTER Toy Story 3 is being released! :angry: I wonder which one will do well at the B.O…

That was mostly it, I really can’t recall what else I saw, except for those character standees for Alvin & the Chipmunks!!!

By the way, annarborjack

all the hype around the twilight franchise is just too much these days. its better after and not before the ts3 release.

Oooo! I’m late to the party, but I like this topic.

I have a slightly different take on this – I’m much, much more fond of posters for movies that are more location/theme based instead of character based. Specifically I’m not a fan of your usual “characters standing around looking at the viewer” poster. Like, for Fellowship of the Ring, I don’t like the “floating heads of the ensemble cast” poster, while this shot (link) of the fellowship passing between the statues on the Anduin is one of the few posters I like.

Pixar posters are usually the same thing. For Finding Nemo, I’m none to fond of this (link) of Dory and Marlin scared of Bruce, this (link) poster of the entire cast is better, certainly better than most ensemble cast posters. It’s actually rather appealing to me. But my favorite is this one (link) with Marlin in the middle of the swirl of fish; it seems to pull together so many themes of the movie at once – the vastness of the ocean, the loneliness of Marlin, the sheer number of fish in the ocean (with so many, it’s hard to even locate friends).

I know this is a little weird. Am I alone in this? :open_mouth:

Kyr, you are certainly not alone, I agree 100%. That lord of the rings poster was my favourite for the film. The only thing I differ with you on is the whole cast poster for finding nemo. I have always disliked this poster more then others, I think its just too cluttered.

What’s Marmaduke?

Buzz&Woodyforever: I know this answer is REALLY late :laughing: , but, Marmaduke is a newspaper comic strip, created and drawn by Brad Anderson, which is basically about a family and their Great Dane.

I’ve never actually read the comic strip, but I’ve heard that it wasn’t that good… (along with the movie, but that was even worse :stuck_out_tongue:)

I hate adaptations almost as much as remakes. What’s with all these movies based on 80’s cartoons? Jease, without Pixar, I would have no movies to watch. :cry:

IncredigirlVirginia: I agree with you, although, there are usually a few good movies out per year that aren’t made for the money and are not remakes or adaptations.

For example, Christopher Nolan’s Inception looks like a really great, and complex, movie. The ideas of this movie, and it’s dream world, are really intriguing. :smiley:

You mean, Inception? Well, the movie will probably huge anyway, by watching the trailer.

Well this topic is kinda dead. Anyway, here are some posters I saw from the last time I was at the movies

Buried- Looks interesting

Some Movie With People Ripping Pictures Of Peoples Faces- Not another dumb 90 minute romantic comedy!

The Social Network- Looks great I think

Tron Legacy- I am really excited for this movie!

Wall Street Money Never Sleeps- Another Political Drama, Moves On

The Karate Kid- The Movie has been out for a while, no need for the poster to still be up.

Avatar Re-Release- :mrgreen:

The Last Exorcism- :shake:

I don’t really have any favourite movie posters, I’m not sure. But the posters I have on display in my room are Edward Scissorhands (1990), Casablanca (1942) and Invictus (2009). I think they are all very good movies.
