Judge a movie by its poster?
A long time ago, I got into a bit of a snit via email with an ex-boyfriend. A big fan of cult movie The Matrix, he emailed me waxing rhapsodic about how "the combination of love and technology is such a powerful combination." I snottily emailed back, "The only thing I got out of that movie is that Keanu Reeves looks hot in black leather!"
Ahem.
I mean, I enjoyed the first Matrix well enough, even if I didn't quite get The Big Message, but the second and third installments convinced me that the whole thing — and its creators — were full of s**t.
But then again, maybe I should give the Weirdo brothers another chance. The new movie, V. for Vendetta, has been earning decent reviews. Beyond that, though, I think this is simply the most attractive movie poster I've seen in some time. I love the typography, with its invocation of Soviet-era graphic design.
(And the Keanu-free cast? A definite plus.)
