Australian Vs American

[brude]

Bloody Hell Ves  , That's some serious cool Aussie paper

You can say that again.  Wow, Ves.... 

[brude]

Sean is undoubtedly America's movie poster champion, driving back the Aussies with clever combinations.
No bobbing and weaving, just landing haymaker after haymaker.

No surprise that Ves is Australia's strongest advocate. Those one sheet comparisons and the Richardsons are amazing.
Craig's got his argument solidly planted.  Many Australian winners there.

Ari?  He doesn't know what side of the fence he is playing.
Gotta hand it to him...that PROJECTED MAN daybill has got to be one of the worst movie ads I have ever seen.
Bravo, Ari!
 

More posters need to be posted, eh?

I am enjoying the show.

Sorry Sean, what were you saying? I was too busy pulling the crayons out of my ears.




U.S. 3 sheet can be found where? It can't, what a shame!

No doubt to shape into a shill to plunge into his eyes...

Of that batch I would say AU kicks butt (seriously you could not argue against Aus The Innocents nor Funny Face) except IMO The Birds US version is better, I prefer the 'sharper' imagery of the birds, Tippi looks like she is being loved to death by doves on the Aus.

Innocents is definitely nice. Eastwood no difference, Funny Face one could argue but it's different enough as to not matter.
But surely no one could actually prefer that garish Aussie Phantom over the beautiful original?
Sorry, but bright patches of primary color over stick figures does not make a better poster.

Funny Face Aus version is better so does matter.

I concede on the Phantom, I can't say I am enamored with the Daybill

[brude]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[brude]

Man, when you Australians get it right, you get it RIGHT.
This is one hell of a poster.
 

[ps.]

Funny Face Aus version is better so does matter.

while i'm not too big a fan of the pink on just about every poster for that film, audrey's face in the aus. poster seems a bit too dumbfounded for me....do like the coloring though.

Aussie Phantom = garrish = better

I meant that the art is different enough from the US version that it can't be considered a copy like the other pictured items are.

So you stated that the Aussie versions kick butt in these latest postings, (Innocents and Funny Face), then admit the US Birds is better and that the Aussie Phantom is pretty much horrible, so that ties it 2-2.
Are you saying the Aussie Few Dollars is that much superior to the US to put the group of five in the "kicks butt" territory? Slightly smaller artwork with less detail - hardly seems like a landslide winner

Yes.

Speaking of Godzilla...

This is about as far apart as they can get.
Oh, I remember now...this was the year that every artist in Australia died?

[Matt]

Wait a minute, we haven't heard your opinion about The Birds comparison yet Sean?

Ted, that Godzilla has NZ stamped all over it.

[brude]

My bad.
(Clears throat)
As I was saying...

That's much better. Phew! I didn't want anyone else pissing down your back and telling you it's raining.

[110x75]

Kind of a tie

[brude]

Hmmmm.... I think that throat-crushing snake puts the insert ahead, Matias.

[ozcinemagic]

The coup de grace.

The silver bullet that silences the monster.

The fatal torpedo skimming over the waves.

A nation's collective sigh as Godzilla's thorny crown sinks into the bubbles ...

Silence.

[brude]

Well, at least the American has a rainbow....

[Ari]

Four colours make a rainbow not.

I was going to buy that one sheet off John Hazelton. Well, was hoping for a swap actually. It's probably the only poster I would buy to keep these days. It's R49, but pretty much same as orig release which is impossible to find.

BTW that Mole People db whips the insert!

blah blah blah

Are you kidding?  I'm not sure that even gets back to even for Godzilla.
And if you keep including items with totally different artwork, we'll have to start letting Ari post more of his awesome stinkers (I remember some truly terrible Frankenstein ones he posted on NSFG)
but here's a nice set that keeps the USA in the lead.
