Zack and Miri Lose Some Weight

A nice slice of vengeful brilliance:


Seriously, though, the whole MPAA fuss over the first poster is so absurd (how is any worse than this? At least Zack and Miri are: A, fully clothed, and B, devoid of creepy smugness) that I bow down to Kevin Smith/the studio bigwigs/the poster designer (i.e. whomever is responsible) for reacting with such knowing creativity. Actually, this is much better than the first poster- in which I can't for the life of me figure out what's making Elizabeth Banks react in that particular fashion- so, ultimately, we must applaud the MPAA for enforcing one of the year's best posters upon us.

Poster Time!

Yes, it's poster time. Here are some fantastic new posters that have appeared recently.

First up, it's the poster for Tim Burton's big musical extravaganza, Sweeney Todd. I love the lighting effects here, gives it the right edge of creepiness.


The poster for the remake of 3:10 to Yuma (which I discussed many moons ago) is also quite something. It's a little too busy, but when there's one of those old steam trains with a cattleguard, you've got me. (The lowliness of Vinessa Shaw's name- see my previous discussion- is worrisome, though.)


And, finally, I'm going to end a second post in a row with something pertaining to J.J. Abrams' mysterious "Cloverfield" project: it's a poster, with only the date on it. According to Empire Movies, Cloverfield is the name of a street in L.A. where Abrams has an office... shame, I quite liked it as a title. "Cloverfield" is also, apparently, a monster movie, but said monster is NOT a parasite or a giant Japanese robot (who thought that it was?). But anyway. An intriguing, stylish poster, methinks.

(Click on all the posters for bigger versions. Oh, and Running with Scissors? Really good. I just don't understand why everyone hates it so much.)
