I think he got his point across rather well... They article's title
"A Comparative Design Look at Remakes of Movie Posters" Makes no claim that each poster is from the original release nor does the article itself state such a claim...it merely states that a movie is remade and here are the different poster designs for each movie regardless if the movie itself was rereleased at a later time. SO WHAT? So Move on.... I enjoyed the look at the difference between the two.... -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:mop...@listserv.american.edu] On Behalf Of Craig Miller Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 1:34 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] Remake Poster Site At 09:08 AM 12/8/2009, Rudy Franchi wrote: >I just knew that when I posted that site we would start hearing from >the nit-wit-pickers of MOPO.

Everyone seemed to think it was a good article. I think pretty much everyone mentioned that, and appreciated that you'd pointed it out. Some people -- including me, I admit -- pointed out that, in a few cases, he wasn't comparing the items he thought he was comparing. In most cases, he found a example from a re-issue which might have had different art from the first release. In the example I pointed out, he found an example from the first US release, but it was a test market and not the poster eventually used for the release most people saw. (And, yes, I'm biased; I designed the general release poster.) Yes, these could be seen as complaints but they were mentions of corrections; ways to make the article even better. Nobody said the article was bad or worthless or anything of the kind. Just the same way people talk about movies: because we don't love every aspect of a film doesn't mean we think the movie is bad or disapprove of the people who made it.
