I’d bet that I would have enjoyed this movie much more if I hadn’t just seen Superman. They take different approaches to the same idea: making classic superhero stories work in a more modern way. I really thought I’d enjoy the FF’s retro-future Earth more than I did, but there’s too much style and not enough substance.
I enjoyed it while I watched, but it isn’t lingering in my head.
Today’s fake poster is based on a different “Superlative and a Number” team.
This movie is either too surreal or not surreal enough. I’m leaning toward the latter. There’s also a weird implication that gender dysphoria is caused by brain injuries that I could have done without.
Today’s fake poster is based on a different horse movie.
This was playing as part of Alamo Drafthouse’s Queer Theory 101 series. I hadn’t seen it for at least thirty years so I had completely forgotten (or missed) the Melanie/Annie subtext. Watching now, it’s amazing how much more chemistry they have than Melanie and Mitch. If they ever manage to get the remake off the ground, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mitch dies and Melanie & Annie end up together.
Also: Suzanne Pleshette was a smokeshow, and Rod Taylor looked like a heroic cartoon.
Today’s fake poster is a lazy pun.
Sometimes new directors make insane decisions, like “I think I’ll make this whole movie rest on the performance of an unknown seven year old kid.” It totally works. Lexi Venter is in nearly every frame of this movie, and she is brilliant.
I was sure I had already used this poster for a parody, but I couldn’t find it so I made it anyway.
Boy, who would have expected an Ari Aster movie to have a third act where everything goes off the rails?
The source for today’s fake poster was chosen solely because of the similar sounding title. I actually had a bunch of posters to choose from, but I went with the simple one because it’s eleven at night and I want to make sleep.
This is the movie equivalent of the kid who thinks he’s the beloved class clown, but he’s really just annoying.
Today’s poster is based on one from a much better movie.
This movie is a three hour game of Spot the Reference to Singing in the Rain. It’s big and insane and it mostly works. I’m glad I got a chance to see it in 70mm, even if the print was a little janky.
Today’s fake poster looks awesome, if I do say so myself.
I’m a bit of a comic book nerd, so I don’t think I can accurately judge how normal humans will feel about this movie, but I freaking LOVED it. A charming, likable Superman in a movie that isn’t afraid to have fun? Count me in!
I had a good idea for today’s poster, but I kind of whiffed the title logo. But it was fun to try and remember how to use Adobe Illustrator!
What if you remade The Mitchells vs. The Machines, but live action, and slightly more about LGBT and identity issues, and with high school friends instead of a family, and also no machines?
A light, sweet, pretty by-the-numbers high school buddy rom-com that is probably much more interesting for people one quarter of my age.
What’s the link between this movie and the source of the poster to mimic? EGGS!
When this movie came out I was 34 years old, and I was sure I wouldn’t like it, so I didn’t see it. Today my spouse watched it for thing she’s doing, so I decided to watch it with her.
Yeah, 34 year old me made the right decision. This movie’s terrible. I couldn’t tell you how many times the whole joke was “what if we kept repeating this?”
Maybe the problem is the rating; A stoners and boobs comedy that’s rated PG-13 is a movie that’s been gutted by a studio that wants to market it to the widest group possible is naturally going to struggle.
Or maybe it just sucks.
Today’s fake poster is based on a different car movie that I’ve never watched.
