Striking Colors

I don’t know that I have ever seen a one-sheet with this depth of color. Somehow, Sony seems to have gotten a real sense of texture in these one-sheets, even when wall-sized. The image idea is ok, but the color really hit me…

    the myspace thingy is eyecatching too even if you aren;t interested in the movie.

    Is there any non-insider buzz on this film at all? The trailer seems to get no reaction from the audience every time I see it.

    They’ve been waiting to push after Pirates, but they are screenign it extensively, including tomorrow night outside at the John Anson Mount with the LAFF.

    I still don’t think it looks any good. The people looks god damned creepy as all hell.

    non-insider buzz is that some of the Emily-fans like it because it’s goofy. Some of the hello kitty folks too but I don’t have a straw poll. or a Gallup.
    Palmtree–I just sign into myspace and I see some freaky stuff that looks like the one sheet has come to life…door to door. It looks better than the Chicken Little ads thats for sure. There’s something odd about the colors that makes you LOOOOOK, so it isn;t just the one sheet.
    I’m in a Fawlty Towers place (the mosquitoes have more authority and sense than the frickin staff) right now at geek convention hell so now that I have high speed access back again, I can sign in to myspace and see if the teaser is on some sort of loop.

    well when i signed in this time I got Talladega Nights and Will Ferrell isn;t looking very pretty; I also got Open season.
    So it looks like some films have “featured profiles” in the little letterbox cube, but they aren’t trailers necessarily. too tired to keep hitting reload on different pages to see if I will hit the loop. maybe Columbia did a little featured profile for myspace, because it did not look like the Monster House trailer. (or maybe someone is pimping Columbia on myspace and made their own little “ad”).
    if I see it again i will hit it and see what the link says.

    I mean, “Harry Knowles love this movie.” Sorry.

    Well, if that isn’t THE seal of approval, then I don’t know what is.

    It certainly looks more impressive on the side of a building.

    I strangely am anticipating this film very much?

“The true punk film of the festival.”
~ Romain Blondeau On Claire Denis’ Les Saluds in Les Inrocks

“It’s also defined commercially by the difference between a colorful, Hawaii-set comedy starring George Clooney and a black-and-white, prairie-based old-age odyssey featuring a straggly and unkempt Bruce Dern. All the same, Paramount Vantage should be able to ride accolades for this very fine Cannes competition entry to respectable specialized returns in fall release.”
