Iron Man christ pose is he gonna die in this

this would have been a much better poster if they'd gone full-on busy/claustrophobic caricature style and given everyone a comically over-sized head instead of just Robert Downey jnr and Don Cheadle

There’s a big Stanley Kubrick auction happening in Italy. Among the many treasures is this note requesting a print of “Hot Stuff” directed by and staring Dom Deluise. SOLD! https://t.co/9jWANoaG2A pic.twitter.com/ZWk5dscpI6

The Statue, 1971

From the claustrophobic album cover files...

https://jamesostafford.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/beatlesongs-front.jpg?w=829

The Rhino's quickly pulled original Beatlesongs lp sleeve.

This sleeve caused its share of controversy when it was released in 1982. John Lennon had been gone less than two years when this album dropped, murdered by a crazed fan named Mark David Chapman. That’s Chapman on our far left, the dude with the glasses and the buttons who is holding up one end of the banner. A totally tasteless move by Rhino, but it garnered them some free publicity.

omg wow. what an awful idea.

At first glance, I thought that might've been a Daniel Clowes illustration. (I know, the rest of the art doesn't and 1982 is too early anyway. I said FIRST GLANCE.)

But then again, I guess that MDC just naturally looks like a Clowes illustration IRL.

I was gonna day maybe it’s just a coincidence that he looks like Chapman, but look what’s behind his right foot

The vast majority of these seem to prominently feature T&A, as though this style was thought particularly well-suited to market to the 18-35 male demographic or something.

At first glance, I thought that might've been a Daniel Clowes illustration. (I know, the rest of the art doesn't and 1982 is too early anyway. I said FIRST GLANCE.)

on first glance, it looks like a Wm. Stout illustration

I embiggened it and it is

I don't know who that is. Did he kill a Beatle too?

he's the guy that did the cover for Rhino's Beatlesongs compilation

also drew or painted for Little Annie Fanny and Slow Death and Alien Worlds and Bizarre Sex and Heavy Metal etc, did books of dinosaur paintings (inspiring Michael Crichton in writing Jurassic Park), was a designer for Rhino, did the movie poster for Rock & Roll High School, storyboarded Raiders Of The Lost Ark and Thriller, did production design (and/or costume design and creature design) for Buck Rogers, the Masters of The Universe movies, Conan movies, Men In Black, Pan's Labyrinth, Return Of The Living Dead & al., has been doing ecologically-activist paintings of Antarctica for much of the last 30 years

iow, he's some dude

imo anyone who has never killed one of the Beatles is a trifling figure, unworthy of my attention

Stout also did covers for a bunch of seminal 70s bootlegs

Prime Time, 1977

...non-stop laughter...

Spanish version, America Loca, had a similar poster with one notable exception.

did we do Shoes of the Fisherman? 1968 but still

google translate was rather stumped by "cojonudivertidisima" until I just took a page from UD, separated "cojonu" out and replaced it with "ballsy"

Camp Nowhere, 1994

(Now That's What I Call) Trivia:

By a strange coincidence two actors who appear in this film, Alison Mack and Andrew Keegan, would later quit acting to join religious cults

Ahem:

In 2018, Mack gained publicity as one of the top-ranking members of NXIVM, a group accused of engaging in blackmail, sex trafficking and forced labor, for which it has garnered accusations by some experts of being a cult. On April 20, 2018, Mack was arrested by the FBI on charges of sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and forced labor conspiracy.

1994! Very late to find an example that keeps so true to form. Nice.

heh i remember seeing that in a theater and being v bored by it. looks like a lot of fun from that cover

There Goes The Neighbourhood, 1992

bravo - another great late find. caricature quality remains strong also - not the most recognizable list of names in the first place but jeff daniels and rhea perlman come through loud and clear.

Doc Casino posted the domestic poster for this about 5 years ago...here's a different Spanish version

"Roadie" is incredible btw

This probably isn't quite within the remit of the thread but seemed too good not to share.

After The Fox, 1966

Apparently these last two were by Frank Frazetta.

Might as well also share the wonderful animated credits sequence for After The Fox, featuring the title theme by Bacharach/David and performed by The Hollies Featuring Peter Sellers
