Film Now THIS is a Movie Poster.

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Fri, Feb 23 at 1:22 PM

One of the great tragedies of modern cinema has been that movie posters—which used to be totally badass, well-conceived, hand-painted affairs—have turned into cheesy, too-slick PhotoShopped crap. I can’t remember the last great movie poster I saw, pre-1990. But! Still! God! Look at this! This is great.

Thanks to Twitch.

What about the Star Wars prequel posters? They dug up the same guy who did the original trilogy (and Indiana Jones flicks).

Yeah! Those were rad! I was going to mention those (the Revenge of the Sith one is particularly rad), but every time I mention the Star Wars prequels... well, you can imagine the sort of response I get.

Is that inspired by a Meatloaf album, or is it just me?
