Departed Poster Utilizes Basic Design Elements
Everything about the poster for Martin Scorsese's next picture just screams intensity and boldness. Note the heavy typeface. Behold the unapologetic negative space. Marvel at the brave decision to show portions of the very famous performers' faces at the risk of obscuring the title. Nope, wait. They wrote the title clearly elsewhere. And in case you're having trouble stringing the letters P-A-R-T together with E-D, the designers have added a helpful hyphen in between. If you don't know how D-E connects to P-A-R-T, though, you're fucked.

you'd think that with the billions of dollars that they have, they would have been able to re-format the poster and fit "departed" on one line. Because man, that looks like the poster I designed for the movie I made in third grade.

Worst poster of the year. Hands down. Till now I didn' think that a poster could single-handedly kill all my desire to see a picture. This one just did. And I think it also attacked and raped me in my sleep last night. That's how bad it is.

God, why do they keep giving roles to that scrotum-faced Marky Mark douchebag? Looks like a great cast, except for him.

In his defense, Marky Mark's show (Entourage) is awesome.
Anyways, he plays a douchebag in the movie so everyone's happy.
