Mark, don't rub it in...I'm starting to feel sorry for the Yanks.


Hmmm, that was a short lived emotion.

Ravenous alligators!?  Villainous Wily Orientals?!

US - 3
Aus - 0
 


Dunkirk (MGM)

 




Son Of Dr Jekyll (Columbia):
   



Irma la Douce (UA)

Why does the AUS version have Shirley MacLaine's mouth off to the right side of her face? Come on! LOL.

US guys getting desperate now. Comparing RR daybills to 1/2 shts & 1 shts!

[ozcinemagic]

Aussie: creative, colourful, playful, visually appealing.



US: photographic, uninspired & generally drab. Same story everywhere!

[erik1925]

In the above example, the Aus has done nothing original except to (poorly) trace the original photographic elements of the US insert (what did they do to Crosby's face?) No artwork is ever original.  And when left to their own devices, they come up with things like the Dunkirk example, (RR or not). 

As far as comparing daybills to OS art, the Son of Jekyll artistic/photographic elements are identical, so even better. It's one of best ways to compare and show how Aus artists often couldn't even get those right, altering and "child-fying" their copied US counterparts.   

Round 3.

Your turn.   

[ozcinemagic]

No artwork is ever original. 

WTF?

[paul waines]

Ditto...?

[erik1925]

No artwork is ever original.

I'm sorry.. I take that back.

Much of the Aus artwork is, indeed, very "original."  

I like how Robin on the Aus daybill above, was (re)drawn as though he were all of 3 feet 1 inch tall (an early incarnation of Mini-Me, maybe?)

[Matt]

Your turn.   

Ok Sunny Jim, let's actually compare a RR to a RR...apples to apples...

In this case the apple>>>
                                   

and the lemon>>>
                           

[erik1925]

Why is Fred Gwynne on the Aussie version?  And why are his eyes TWO different colors? Maybe it was supposed to be David Bowie? (and long before Bowie was even around).. amazing!!   

[Matt]

The Aussie Fred was on the piss the night before, anyone can see that!

Just one small question, why isn't Fred MacMurray on the US version?

[erik1925]

He's Front and center.  

Understandable, tho, since I'm thinking you guys dont even know who Fred MacMurray is.  

Have they aired My Three Sons there yet?  

And you havent explained why the Aus version has him with multi-colored irises, either.. i didnt say they were red...

[Matt]

Have they aired My Three Sons there yet? 

Yeah, but while you were watching that, we were watching I Dream of Jeannie.

And you havent explained why the Aus version has him with multi-colored irises, either.. i didnt say they were red...

That's easy...you've never drunk real Aussie beer!

[erik1925]

More 5 year old art class results: 


And then:  :

[erik1925]

Again.. what did they do to his face?!?! I dont think this is a horror flick. Maybe that woman (is that a woman on the lower left?) thinks so. 




Much better: 

[Matt]

Couldn't find a pic of the insert, they must of given up after the one sheet.

[erik1925]

So first I get bitched at for using a one sheet as a comparison.. and, mind you, it had THE SAME ART! What makes you think you can do an about face and pull a 180? And with completely different art. Play by the rules.  

I hardly think the toy plane depicted on the AUS daybill will do much harm. I'm more afraid of the he/she in the corner (or is that Ellie Mae Clampett?) -- in any case, the one with the long butter knife.

 

[brude]

Jeff does have a point. 
When you compare this Betty Boop-style daybill ( ) with the Zoe Mozert-inspired RR one-sheet art it was lifted from, there is no comparison.

Whinge, whinge, whinge, that's all you do. Play by the rules. It's War. There are no rules. If you can't stand the heat then go back to your sandbox and play with the other little kiddies. Our children are at work designing artwork, so you can't play with them.

What...don't you guys have foot long curved butter knifes?

Ted, style vs inspired...what a you a journalist now? Was Jane's nose inspired by SJP? You could park a Sherman Tank up there.

Move over Jeff, Ted wants some room in your sandbox.
