This Movie Poster Designer Has More Than Just a Foot Loose

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "Footloose". This week's five points of the poster are:


1) There are no movie star names on this movie poster. There aren't even minor movie star names. This immediately tells us that there won't be any recognizable people in this movie poster. In fact, these people might be so unknown that prior to this poster they may not even have existed. They may have just been pixels of unorganized love between an artist and a virtual paint brush...

2) I do have to wonder where this graphic designer learned to create movie posters. It is generally accepted that the title of a movie poster should probably not be smaller than other random words that might appear. Those who do not know of the original "Footloose" movie poster might assume that this movie poster is for the film "Cut Loose". Words on a movie poster should probably also not block out people on the poster, but in this case I'll ignore this faux-pas as we've already established that no one in this poster matters and they may not even really exist.

3) All the words in the poster are spelled correctly...

4) What's with this guy's hair? It kinda looks like a piece of Donald Trump's hair exploded and landed on his head! Even though no one in this movie poster matters, it would still be good to have a movie poster that doesn't scare small children. This movie poster will likely spend at least a few days on display before it gets moved to a video store or recycled so it's likely to give nightmares to a few hundred kids.

5) All people in the movie poster, real or imaginary, have the correct number of limbs...

In conclusion, based on this thorough analysis I predict that "Footloose" will gross $2.1 million in its opening weekend, if it makes it into the theaters...
