What happened to painted movie posters? I think they're beautiful, and even the shitty ones look better than the shit we have today. It seems like most posters today are just "let's shove all of the characters on the poster in front of a colored background"
Post your favorite movie posters and VHS covers.
What happened to painted movie posters? I think they're beautiful...
Gabriel Diaz
Brody Rogers
I know it's awful, but I've always liked this one.
Jaxon Price
Because the only thing that matters today is money.
They figured out a certain color pallette and big head actor composition that will bring out every chinese citizen to the cinema out, simple as that. By changing it by any means they only lose money, so why bother
Jacob Phillips
They're too expensive and require too much effort. Nobody wants to pay artists anymore.
Grayson Wood
no one can outdo the poles
Luis Russell
Hollywood wants to be as bland and shitty as possible to appeal to the unwashed masses.
Jayden Torres
It's the same thing with video games and album covers. You don't see video game box art like this anymore.
Dominic Scott
or album covers like this
Kayden Lopez
Isn't the Genie supposed to be blue?
Kayden Martin
And yet China is the only one putting out posterkino atm while Hollywood nepotism keeps employing the same circle of producer's niece or nephew who figured out how to use blend on Photoshop and wants to start their own ad agency.
Samuel Wilson
It Comes At Night unironically has one of the best posters of recent times. It's highly intriguing leaving you with the open question of what comes at night. If DVD rentals were still a thing, this would the most rented thing no doubt.
The only thing you could say is that it is a bit mismarketed.
Carson Fisher
What an absolute fucking shame. All of these are gorgeous.
These are soulless.
Mason Bailey
>Dark Phoenix
Luke Butler
Thanks, America
Adrian Kelly
HNNGGGHHH
Luis Lopez
>Schriffin intensifies
Isaiah Garcia
>enter the drag
>nobody fucks a dragon
Misleading title.
Jaxon Long
based Ritchie Blackmore, sad he's only doing medieval music because of his wife nowdays
Oliver Murphy
I love this one.
Jackson Reyes
Alexander Robinson
Aaron Fisher
The poster has more soul and heart than the actual movie. It's a shame that shit wars sucks.
Jayden Smith
Logan Wood
It's not awful
Jayden Hughes
>in a galaxy jar, jar away
Xavier Nguyen
Based poster for an outrageously based movie
Jace Reed
I was conflicted on this movie but I loved this poster specifically because it recalls those 80s painted horror film covers:
Nicholas Davis
Gay
Sebastian Gray
This. Same as all creative industries. Why do you think painting is all digital tablet artists on Patreon now, or music is all made in DAWs by individuals and guitar-based groups struggle to find two cents to rub together to get into a studio?
Neoliberalism ruined art.
Josiah Martin
There's still a few, but they're usually smaller artists who know they're not going to make any money out of it and have side jobs.
Blake Gray
Fuck off Diego
William Roberts
This poster is one of the best.
I will say though, for modern movie posters, I kind of like Last Jedi's and Endgame's. They're not too crowded and they escaped the blue and orange meme of a lot of their contemporaries.
Cooper Russell
>that will take you to the Moon, the planets and the distant stars.
>the planets
Too bad that didn't happen.
Isaac Foster
Joshua Jackson
Because they look dated and shitty. The only movies or series that imitate the style are those reddit I FRIGGIN LOVE THE 80s movies
Luis Russell
>What happened to painted movie posters?
The medium is not the issue.
Jose Reyes
Ironically, that Dark Phoenix poster is painted.
Isaiah Johnson
>anime pic
>acts like a retard
It checks out.
Zachary Garcia
That's not painted, retard. That's just a photoshop filter.
Ryan Thomas
Prove it, bud.
Jack Reed
