Choke is not meant to be a big film. If it becomes a cult flick like Fight Club I’m sure the people involved with making it would be simply ecstatic. So the goal of the poster isn’t to appeal to a broad audience, but to really fire up a small but possibly loyal core group [...]

At first there was a poster in which hair covered a face. The marketing gods thought that was good, but they wanted more. So we got a poster where a tie covered a face. And the marketing gods felt that too was good, and yet they yearned for more.
So someone thought “Hey, what if we [...]

The Rocker

I think I can outsource my thought on this one. Peter notices the resemblance between this and the posters for 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up. Meanwhile, Eric asks the question that is on my mind.

The Dark Knight

Yes, it’s yet another poster for The Dark Knight. I have to admit, even I can’t muster much [...]

The second poster for Meet Dave keeps the same theme of people inhabiting robo-murphy, and the same wide and stupid grin. But now we get to see more of Murphy’s body and we have some nice trees in the background.
Honestly, it does make the poster easier on the eyes. Not having so much of Murphy’s [...]

Let’s get this out of the way first. Yes, it’s purple. A very, very bright purple. Surely that is not for everybody.
And yet I think it’s probably the best poster I have seen for Sex and the City. It’s essentially a re-edition of the first teaser poster, but with all the women and not just [...]

Now this is what I’m talking about. This poster sets Bangkok Dangerous as a kick ass action film in a way we have rarely seen. I mean look at Cage, reaching for the gun he keeps on his shoulder with one hand and using his magic right hand to reach through his jacket. Or something. [...]

What kills me about this poster is the combination of the green and yellow arrows pointing towards Juno with some sort of question. Now, I have no idea of what the question actually is, but can’t you just imagine some over excited announcer pointing and saying “She has a baby, in her belly!?”
I do wonder [...]

I almost wrote a post about the first poster for The Wackness, but ended up deciding against it. My feeling was that there were some interesting things about it, but in the end the poster setting was just a little too dull in way that seemed contradictory with the colorful energy of [...]

This German poster is basically just like the two last posters, but it features all the Sex and the City women.
As it’s been pointed out to me, Carrie is indeed the main star of the show. But honestly, for me it would be nothing without the others. So I like this poster a lot more, [...]

Russian Speed Racer Poster

CTAPT! That’s a pretty long way to say Go. Of course, I have no idea how it’s pronounced so maybe it’s really brief when people actually speak it.
As for the poster, it’s not as good as most of the Speed Racer poster, but it’s still kind of cool in the way it [...]
