Also the same people that go to the video store looking for "Transformers 2" while it's still playing in the theater, and then get mad when it's not yet for sale.<br /><br />Asylum Studios has built an entire business around confusing the general public. They'll make a terrible ripoff of an upcoming movie and release it on video a couple of days before the real one hits theaters. They've made classics like "Transmorphers," "Paranormal Entity," and even a "Sherlock Holmes" film. I'm waiting to see their take on "Avatar."<br /><br />They have a website here: http://www.theasylum.cc/Bob Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938039612223083995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046751414407003862.post-49424185566651467372010-02-04T11:20:00.841-06:002010-02-04T11:20:00.841-06:00no they dont notice. these are the same people who...no they dont notice. these are the same people who go to movies like Alvin and the chipmonks the Squeakell..Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778059633807688591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046751414407003862.post-7512768014956823122010-02-04T10:02:51.812-06:002010-02-04T10:02:51.812-06:00Yeah, they're pretty shameless in their copyin...Yeah, they're pretty shameless in their copying.

I liked burn after reading too but it is one of my least favorites from the cohen bros. the font on that poster is killer.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778059633807688591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046751414407003862.post-20497466432031888242010-02-04T08:17:02.288-06:002010-02-04T08:17:02.288-06:00Wow, those are really blatant! There's no way ...Wow, those are really blatant! There's no way that can be an accident. They're both from the same studio (MCA), so the same artist may have even designed both.<br /><br />There are 2 reasons why they did this:<br />A. Movie #1 was a hit, so by copying the poster for Movie #2 they're hoping to confuse the buyer into picking up instead of Movie #1.<br /><br />Or<br /><br />B. Movie #1 is a hit, so they use similar poster art on Movies #2 through #10 hoping that buyers will subconsciously assume those movies are good as well.Bob Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938039612223083995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046751414407003862.post-330135670109192562010-02-03T21:28:20.301-06:002010-02-03T21:28:20.301-06:00i remember noticing these several years back. I ca...i remember noticing these several years back. I can't tell if they were doing it admittedly on purpose or if it was a rip off. If it was supposed to be a deliberate parody it doesn't really make any sense. Why would you parody something nobody recognizes as an iconic image?<br /><br />http://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/product_images/1020/190446.1020.A.jpg<br /><br />http://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/product_images/1020/211247.1020.A.jpgKWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792617397718781026noreply@blogger.com
