Because we only remember the good and forget the forgettable. For every great poster of yesteryear there was countless unimaginative and dull posters.

Just last year "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" not only had it's main promo poster but a series of posters for fictional films starring the characters. "Ad Astra" had multiple posters that had great images on and the poster for "Us" would stand out on any wall of great movie posters. None of those posters look the same as each other.

That may be true, but when I was young part of the fun of going to the pictures was seeing the posters. Now they all just seem cookie cutter, with the odd exception of course.

it is well known that Disney use a formula for generating their materials. Given how they dominate the box office, it is no surprise that things are so boring and stale.

A really surprisingly good movie is
When Elvis Met Nixon

Bit of a mad double bill for tonight

The Wretched - New horror film getting decent reviews, probably as crap as most modern horror but i'll give it a go

Across the Universe - Bonkers musical which uses reworked versions of Beatles songs and lyrics as the storyline - An acquired taste but definitely a guilty pleasure of mine

Disney always have. I still remember the generic posters and covers they used to have when they were pumping out family films during the 80's.

Things always seem more fun or exciting when you're younger. I used to love the Robocop poster.....but it's just Robocop standing by his car.

What's Interstellar like? Somehow never seen it. Soundtrack is boss on YouTube though.

Was absolutely blown away the first time I saw it by the visuals. Great film.

Strip away the incredible special effects and it's a pretty wanky movie IMO.

I finished up watching Jonah Hill's directorial debut Mid 90's. Been meaning to watch it for ages and really enjoyed it - it has a great sort of youthful exuberance within it, connected with it in ways that I haven't with so many other coming of age movies.

Yeah, it had neither a spiritual element, or stuck strictly to a scientific approach. Caught between two stools. It was quite emotional that bit in the black hole though.

All good Carlos. It's a bit strange but others are having it much worse than me so I've no complaints.

Lost in London.

What a mad film. All done in one take on the streets of London. Written and directed by woody harrelson.

Immense fun

No worries about that just hope you are keeping warm and safe.
