Mar 30 2009'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' Poster Losing the Battle
That battle being the Battle of Trying to Make Massive, Greasy Food Look Fanciful Not Incredibly Disgusting. Their glistening surfaces are too realistic, yet not photographic enough to make them at all appetizing. It turns out even cooked meat spheres have an uncanny valley.

why are the scientist's feet the only thing being reflected in the ground (those reflections; not shadows. the Photoshop guy mixed up his fx buttons)?
and yeah, those don't look anything like meatballs, for some weird reason.

#1, the better question would be to ask, "Why are we even seeing that guy's feet in the first place?"
And that's a lovely use of the "wind" filter in P-shop guy, gj. I hope it becomes your calling card to many many movie posters in the future.

DUDE this was my favorite book growing up. Food falling from the sky? Best concept ever, only...I know Hollywood is going to screw this up. We need Tim Burton directing that shit.
