Never saw those hilarious X-Men: First Class posters - do you know where/how they were used?<br />Ps I must admit that I was also surprised at the inclusion of The Tree of Life poster.

That Incendies tagline is....Liz, isn't it just? That Incendies tagline is... wow. As for <i>The Tree of Life</i>, I just find it lazy and completely sells the film short as little more than "a bunch of nice pictures".<br /><br />Inaki, I actually know someone who had a brief hand in that <i>Salvation Boulevard</i> poster. Can you believe it was once worse?Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327605674280773646.post-54700674093888949782012-01-04T17:32:33.273-05:002012-01-04T17:32:33.273-05:00Oh my God they're so awful.

You know they had the resources to create something better. <br />And all these messes were made by people who got paid for doing this. Money was given to them.

Was that some kind of marketing trick? At least the other posters were terrific.<br /><br />It really annoys me that they went with that "J. Edgar" poster. I saw another one with an American flag as the backdrop and Leo's face set in kind of a grainy texture. Not great (mostly because that shot of Leo is just horrible), but it at least had some kind of design aspect to it. This one is just...nothing.<br /><br />I'm a little surprised to see the "Tree of Life" poster on your worst list. I agree that the one with the baby's foot is better, but I do think this one captures the "snapshot"-ish quality of the film.Liznoreply@blogger.com
