post movie posters done in a busy/claustrophobic caricature style from the 70s and 80s

apparently the plot is that Dick Van Dyke can't shave, due to a... mosquito bite I think? and this raises hackles at his mild-mannered job or whatever, and is the prompt for what seems like possibly a very limp, toothless sendup of hippie-era culture classes and the Generation Gap and so on.

Thought that was going to be the smoking one for a minute, what was that called, Cold Turkey, maybe? Probably somewhere upthread in a broken link already.

Ah, two years apart.

Five on the Black Hand Side (1973)

Feel like I've seen every Jack Davis poster and then another one pops up.

hueg new retro Licorice Pizza poster

did FFC lose like 100 pounds? I would never recognize him.

He's been getting into shape for insurance reasons so he make another film.

Sweet Lorraine, 1987

wow, a real pileup of dubious late 80s aesthetics there

Funny Money, 2006

But with that cast, you might think 1986.

Sex World (1978)

This one feels like it should be a bit busier, but its in the right spirit.

Wholly Moses! (1980)

Amazing cast on that one.

Not the only religious satire Richard Pryor cameoed in that year that had an illustrated poster

In God We Trust, 1980

There's an even better set of caricatured lobby cards for this one, but I can't find good scans.

Heartbeeps, 1981

Ack!

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51T7zT3fXLL.jpg

Feel like I should mention the art from that second In God We Trust is part of the lobby card set, which is done in the same style.

was that Heartbeeps art used for the poster? have not seen that version. but i'd legit consider owning such a poster.

only two of the listed cast members on that Wholly Moses poster are alive today

Not sure if it actually appeared on a poster, but a cropped version appeared on the soundtrack album cover.

XP...and one of them is Laraine Newman, who by many metrics shouldn't be alive today.

oh wow. that's really got a look to it. much as the movie does! main reason to watch it, plus it's got such a strange melancholy energy. like the creators seem to have intentionally been seeking something like Silent Running, and almost getting there.

WT…?

Viz is a UK comic for adults. It's very funny if also I'd imagine impenetrable to many Americans.

The perfect pleasure city of the future is basically a 70s mall.

Ha!

Specifically, a bunch of late 60s/early 70s commercial buildings in Texas, ex. the Apparel Mart and Hyatt Regency in Dallas. Pretty much all gone or ruined through renovation, sadly.

The "OZ Restaurant and Nightclub" in Dallas was used for the Love Shop sequence. Table for three, please.
