Fans customized the Wicked movie poster to more closely match the original Broadway poster.

Original Broadway Poster:

Movie poster:

Some fans, disappointed by the poster, altered it to be closer to the original, moving Grande’s hand and lowering the brim of Erivo’s hat to cover her eyes. The edits prompted Erivo to respond. “This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen

“None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo continued. “The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION. I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes.”

So, this seems like a completely reasonable reaction to fans making fan content.

Alien Romulus (lemmy.today)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by 1984@lemmy.today to c/movies@lemmy.world

I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company?

Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face.

I didn't feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic.

Just disappointed. How about you guys?

does anyone have any insight into this? actual behind the scenes knowledge?

the sets either look like cheap plastic or ps3 graphics.

It's very distracting and making it almost impossible for me to immerse myself in the story.

It's very frustrating because I like the movie and the story and I think the actors are mostly doing a good job, kamala and her family are hilarious, but I can't get over how dog shit the CGI , editing and set pieces are.

did anyone else notice this?

and the budget was 220 million. it was huge, I can't understand why the effects and set pieces are so terrible.

a small example: when captain Marvel "changes" her clothes in the singing Palace, her entire wardrobe is clearly changed off screen, she's already wearing her new costume when the camera switches back to her and there are literal like 1970s cartoon Disney sparkles floating around her for a second to imply that she morphed her costume?

have Marvel movies always looked this ridiculous? I feel like 10 years ago the effects and settings were more believable, or at the very least more immersive.

All of these effects look like they were made in one frantic week.

oh, and the costumes?

Why are all the costumes baggy?

like professor Marvel's costume is baggy, everyone on Nick Fury ship is wearing baggy jumpsuits.

and it's not like cool baggy, they just didn't make costumes that fit for everybody on set?

professor's Marvel's mom's hair looks crazy, it looks like they sprayed white spray paint on her head and was like okay, she's old now.

the kittens are rough, their textures, movements and physics are absurd.

I watched Possession(1981) for the first time last night and holy heck was that a mindf*ck of a trip. I had heard great things about it and how it had a cult following but I went in blind otherwise. Loved almost everything about it, very surreal and the film itself contorts to things I can’t even describe by the end - solid 8/10

I also viewed Jacob’s Ladder(1990) last week and that was a wild ride as well!

Anyone have any personal favs or recommendations? I’m not a horror fan by default but just trying to watch some gems I’ve missed during the spooky season 🎃

Title pretty much says it all. When I watched the Sadness I learned, much to my surprise, that I sort of have limits where the gore becomes a bit too much.

That being said, that movie was on another level of impressively realistic horribleness happening for about two straight hours. Terrifier seems more Western and classic blood and stuff but wondered if anyone had seen both and had thoughts?
