Mar 24 2009 'Away We Go' Poster: This Movie is a Bit More Independently Stylish, Everyone
Look, this is cute and all--the little line drawings, the washed out colors, the unmissable similarity to the Juno credits--but I'm a firm believer in the design rule that a film's poster should not work equally well as a parody of what the film's poster would be. If the spoof comedy duo Friedberg & Seltzer's ever decide to continue their [Genre] Movie franchise with Indie Dramedy, this would be the poster, except their version would feature Austin Powers and Amy Winehouse as the couple, because imagine those two together!

Mar 17 2009 'Away We Go' Trailer, Because Being 33 or 34 is ROUGH

Jan 30 2008 'Leatherheads' Poster Possesses No Rules
I'm confused as to why the marketing department for what appears to be a screwball romantic comedy set around early football decided to push the film's actual football playing as the sole selling point. Superbowl Fever? And now I'm torn which supplement would best finish the tagline: "...in love", "...until she came around", or "...actually, I guess there were still some rules."

Dec 14 2007 Let 'Leatherheads' Trailer Take You to Platonic Male Crush Heaven
You think George Clooney's taking any cues from his work with the Coens? The goofy hairstyles, the period setting, the fisticuffs fighting stance and subsequent cross-eyed reaction all seem familiar. Considering the uproarious love triangle story line, Clooney probably just saw Sabrina and thought it would be better with the sensibilities of O Brother, Where Art Thou? And football. Added props for having his gentlemanly referee replicate Stephen Tobolowky's punch reaction from Groundhog Day flawlessly.
I'd say he robbed the fast-talking female reporter character from Hudsucker Proxy, but I doubt Georgie would even bother to watch the Coen movies he doesn't appear in. Besides, we all know that role for Renee Zellweger and the entire movie itself were conceived merely so Clooney here could get himself some steady ex-sex. He's probably immune to that post-coital shame, too. He IS George motherf***ing Clooney, after all.
