Do I see a new trend here? Extreme half face close-ups of the main stars? If so the ad agencies have succeeded in doing away with multi headshot photoshop abominations and have gone for something worse. A photo close-up so big you can see the actors pores. Ugh, a new low. :-X

So true. Shows even less creativity (ie laziness) on the part of those in charge, who can look at stuff like this and sign off on this kind of blase' imagery.

So it's a trickle down effect, almost.

OT: I showed these to an XX who said "I don't like Blake Lively." Of course, I have no idea who these actresses are or what this flick entails. Just shows my thinking is warped bc others actually associate MPs with the movie advertised....

I recently got these Japanese B1s for Isle of Dogs. I really like stop motion animation and Wes Anderson, so was really happy to nab them. I'm not sure if they're a complete set though...perhaps there are more out there.

Wow, those are awesome Tob, congratulations! They must have been hard to track down, especially as there are so many. You should post them in latest acquisitions in case they get missed here. You must be very happy.

Maybe there are Edward Norton and Scarlett Johansson versions too?

Super cool.  And B1 character sets are notoriously hard to find in Japan!

They really are great Tob - I'd love to have a set myself.

Thanks guys - I appreciate the kind words.

Skyjackers - think you could be right, I can see character posters for Nutmeg, Jupiter and Rex in IMP awards...perhaps they were printed in Japan. I'll have to keep an eye out!
