Hey folks, Harry here... sorry to be running a bit behind on the new RETURN OF THE KING posters - fact is... life has been hectic and fighting the good fight here on the home system as I've been hit with an average of 26,000 bastard son of a 1000 whore Virus emails a day, which I swear keep changing subject lines everytime I nail a fucker down. Sigh... ohmmmmmmm... Anyways... I'm only going to highlight one of these posters. The rest you can find over at LordoftheRings.Net, but this poster is for me significant because this is how I first saw Elijah as Frodo... this version of him, not on the day he shot this scene, but at this stage of physical torment... The burnt in chain... the 5 day scrub to get out dirt look... the clothes beyond filth... basically, the standard Camp Hacknslash survivor look. I also just got the TWO TOWERS dvd that's coming out on Tuesday, and it really is a beautiful disc. The 10 minute preview thing for RETURN OF THE KING, reminds me why I love/hate Peter Jackson so much... The "I'm editing the Shelob Lair sequence" on the screen is just mind-numbingly aggravating and he knows it. If you look at that cherubic face of his, you can see the Marquis De Sade in those eyes... He's definitely got the bamboo chutes beneath our fingertips with us asking for more please sir.... The glorious bastard...
Speaking of INGLORIOUS BASTARDS... no, haven't got any art on that, but I do have the new Japanese Poster for KILL BILL. So... is this going to be a habit... that the Japanese Posters for this film have to kick more ass than the American versions? That's just not fair... Their teaser trailer was more cool, both their teaser posters are more cool... Of course, everything Japanese is more cool... Except for their BBQ, we Texans kick their ass on BBQ! Yeah... I'll take comfort in that... fuck sushi! Heh... here's the badass poster...
Ok... Speaking of Japanese things being cooler... here are 3 posters from LOST IN TRANSLATION which takes place in Japan... Tokyo to be specific and I really like the two posters for the film itself... In specific, I love the poster with Scarlett... there's a really nice elegance to that image, the look on her face and the absurdity that can't be denied regarding that Brontosaurus in the background. I love that. Here are the first two...
Speaking of Absurdity... In LOST IN TRANSLATION, there is a character played by Anna Faris that is staying in the hotel that Bill and Scarlett are occupying, and she's doing a press junket there... not a main storyline, just one of the meaningless things that is happening at the hotel that helped make life that much more boring for the two main characters... BUT anyway... Anna does a fantastic job of playing a vapid and inconsequential fluff personality in the film... I believe her scenes are what it would be like if you ever happened to meet Brittany Spears in a hotel on a Junket weekend... Anyway... here's the poster for her fictional action film with Keanu Reeves that appears in the movie... here ya go...
