Oh well.

This better be at the Ziegfeld.  There honestly aren’t any other screens i would see this on in NYC.

…what?  It’s not a game? 

Well it looks like a kick-ass novel then.

…Huh?

…So what is it, then?  RPG source book, maybe?

…A what? 

A movie?  C’mon, you’re kidding.

…You’re not kidding.

The only time Marion from Raiders would smile like that is if she were holding a knife behind her back. I sure as hell hope they wrote her properly. I’ll be so pissed if they pussied her up. </p> <p> This poster reminds me of the lazy-ass prequel posters which were immediately forgotten the minute the movies came out. They haven’t stood the test of time, they’re not any kind of indellible image the way the classic posters were and they were even jettisoned for the DVD releases. Simply put, they sucked a cancerous testicle, and I don’t think this is much better. </p> <p> I don’t even think this was painted, quite frankly. I think it was entirely photoshopped. Why would you paint someone sitting on a motorcycle so passively? </p> <p> Don’t accept it, Goshy. Rage against the crapism. We’re adult consumers now, and artists ourselves, and we have it give it a name when we’re sold lazy-ass bullshit and told to call it part of a classic. </p> <p> Indy looks awesome, though. Great choice of an image to photoshop. </p> Karen Allen looks gorgeous, but the thing is, that pose doesn’t look at all to me like her tough as nails character.

Indy looks awesome, though. Great choice of an image to photoshop.

It looks lazy around the edges.  Progress used to always test mock up one sheets, and they’d always be close to what we would finally see, but with images or expressions that would later be modified.  Like Karen Allen and Shia on this.  They don’t look the way they should to me.  Indy looks cool.  Beowulf doesn’t look like he should either.  Expression-wise, i mean.  I like Spalko and i like the snake coming out to get him.  I think.  DO i like the snake?  I always like the snakes.  “Reggie” was the first Snake on a Plane, after all.  OK.  I will learn to accept this final Crystal Skull one sheet.  That’s what i will do today. </p> Well, i guess according to AICN this is the final one sheet.  I’m a bit upset.
