Design I did a while ago, thought it would be interesting to post it with the cut from Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas with Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. Still not sure about the title, call it "Can't Stop" or just "Bat Country" haha.
And some Death Kennedys from the soundtrack with shots from the movie:
I would like to think that Joaquin Phoenix is just pulling one huge elaborate prank on us that extends way beyond his appearance on David Letterman. But it turns out he was only one part in a series of 3? This just can't be unplanned... I know I'm setting up a big "duh" here, but I just had to post them. It's so funny.
What The Fuck #1: Joaquin Phoenix
What The Fuck #2: Crispin Clover
What The Fuck #3: Andy Kaufman
Saw one of the most touching movies I've ever seen last week. Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler with one of my all-time favorite actors Mickey Rourke.
The movie is based on such a simple story, but that brings out the quality displayed by the director and especially Rourke so much more. This movie has made it into my top 3 movies of all time for sure. Pretty good poster too I have to say. Displays the mood and content of the movie very well.
It also features a kickass 80s based soundtrack as a backflash to The Ram's glory days as a world famous wrestler. A small selection:
guns n roses - sweet child o mine
scorpions - animal magnetism
bruce springsteen - the wrestler (written for the movie)
Enter the Void is the new movie by Irréversible director Gaspart Noé due to be released sometime 2009. But more importantly is it's stunning movie poster. It's a mix between abstract, neon and classic architecture. Which figures since the movie is set in Tokyo. It's about a Western drug dealer doing his business in Japan. Have a look at the poster below:
Movieposters are such a fascinating medium to me. They combine two things I love the most, identities and posters. Obviously a movie poster should communicate the content of the movie it represents, but to me it's also important that it does this as to the point as possible. Above are some of my favorite ones.
I can't say I saw the movie. We walked out of the sneak preview showing about 2 weeks ago because my girl told me the movie wasn't that great (she saw it overseas already). I'll probably end up seeing it sometime anyways.
But damn, that poster is perfect. It might appear a bit boring to the average public who is used to screamy colorful posters full of explosions, but it is a really good representation of this style of movie posters from the 1970s the time in which this movie plays.
I dig how they placed the photo in the design in such a strong way not being bugged by any text. At the same time they weren't affraid of leaving empty space in the text area where most would have filled up the whole width of the design with the title.
If anyone knows who created this design, please let me know!
Whaddaya know, got dragged to see "the new Justin Timberlake movie" by my girlfriend yesterday. It turned out to be a pretty damn good movie actually. The movie seems very true to life, the thoughts, the emotions, the actions, it all seemed very believable to me. Don't be put off by the fact that Justin Timberlake is in it, he actually did a good job.
The trailer actually doesn't do the movie justice at all, they make it look way too over dramatic:
Went to see the movie "28 Weeks Later" a two days ago. I really enjoyed the first movie in this series called 28 Days Later which was about a virus called "RAGE" that turned humans incredibly blood thirsty, and transferred through blood or saliva. 28 Weeks Later picked up a few months after where the first movie ended, hence the name 28 Weeks Later. Have a look at the trailer:
If you're interested you can see the trailer of the first movie "28 Days Later" here:
Wonder if there is another 3rd installment in the planning. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. I think these two movies are some of the most potent horror movies around, combining elements, genres and with a huge potential for experiments.
