I thought the poster had been edited by r/ledootgeneration until I read the comments. Turns out it's real, in which case I don't really know what can be said about it other than "ugh" and "doot doot".

I seriously can't believe that's the real poster. It looks like they stole a still from the skull trumpet video.

What makes it worse is spectres are ghosts, not skeletons.

u/sirgraemecracker Sep 06 '15
SPECTRE is a criminal organization from James Bond. They where the bad guy's in all of Sean Connery's movies, and George Lazenby's one, but disappeared at the start of the Roger Moore era due to a dispute over the rights.
Mr Skeltal's got nothing to do with SPECTRE, he's there either because part of the movie (judging by the trailer, the cold open) is set in Mexico during the day of the dead, or because 007 forgot to eat his calciums. And it's by far the worst Craig era poster.

That jacket makes Daniel Craig look 5 years old. It's so fucking loud I didn't even see mr skeltal behind him at first.

u/EmergencyChocolate Sep 06 '15
Loud? But it's a traditional white dinner jacket! Bond's known for his classic style. I get why the poster isn't great, but that jacket isn't loud. This jacket is loud.
That said, though - even with the GREAT DOOTENING OF 2015 happening, how does a discussion of a movie poster reach nearly 1500 comments?

u/rabiiiii Sep 06 '15
I suppose in the right image it could look good but with the contrast ratcheted up like that and everything else muted that jacket is all I see.

u/997312922 Sep 06 '15

I think almost every comment in the No Escape thread had some variation of "critics are super dumb" and at least one use of the word "badass."

Meh, critics have panned some great movies. British critics hated Psycho initially, Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange and The Shining were not well-received at first. Ebert would revisit movies, usually giving them more praise than he initially did (he gave The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly a 3/5, IIRC, and later said that he should have given it more). Halloween is regarded as a classic but it's not like critics liked it at first.
Disagreeing with critics isn't exactly a mark of bad opinions or anything. I sometimes wonder what panned movies will receive kinder praise a decade or two down the road.

A slightly changed version of the poster appears here a few days after the first version was mocked on this sub for looking shitty. I'd bet my left nut that MGM's marketing people used this place as a testing ground for the poster.

Oh. Maybe that's why my edited poster didn't get much response in that comment thread. Didn't realize there was a whole dooty drama going on over the issue.
I mean, I wasn't expecting a standing ovation or anything, but it seemed like something that would get maybe 4 upvotes and a reply, instead of 1 and silence.
It didn't get deleted either though, so I guess the mods were just searching for keywords instead of scrutinizing every post for doot-transgressions.

Sep 06 '15
Pretty funny. Can you make the 007 into D007 ?
33
u/randomsnark Sep 06 '15
Hm. I definitely could, I tried to keep it somewhat minimal though, both due to laziness and because adding too much can very quickly kill the joke. I'm not sure if having both "D007" and "Coming doot" would be too much.
I guess when I get to my desktop I could make a version with only D007 and a version with both pretty quickly, since it's just one letter. Matching the fonts is the only tricky bit.
16
Sep 06 '15
Oh yah fuck all that shit. Wasn't sure how much effort it would be. I just thought it would be funny for my own sake. Oh well what are you gonna doot
33
u/randomsnark Sep 06 '15
Eh, it's pretty straightforward. You should bear in mind that anyone shopping a skeltal poster in the first place probably has too much time on their hands. Also, I don't hold myself to especially high standards, which makes it even quicker.
So someone finding it a little funny is plenty justification.

u/Kytescall Sep 06 '15
I was downvoted in r/movies for saying the first Spectre poster looked like shit. It's just him standing. How much more uninspired could you get? There's minimalist, and then there's lazy. This is lazy.

Skeletons.
r/ledootgeneration was a joke based on r/lewronggeneration. Anyway, the poster looks like someone just figured out how to use the layering feature of Photoshop and lifted a picture of a skeleton off the internet.
It's kind of a reddit meme for when skeletons are posted to thank mr skeltal (this is how his name is, don't question it) and doot doot all the way to good calcium and bones.
So, there you go.

I really can't see how r/movies is at fault here. Even if the poster isn't great, they'd still prefer discussion about the poster itself, and for the conversations to be visible, rather than buried under a bunch of doots. A more responsible thing for r/ledootgeneration to do would be to post the image on their sub, rather than invading another.

Try spending more money on a monitor - one that can display more than 8 shades of a given color.
The poster looks great on my monitor.
Dude has multiple comments linking to some site where you can test how many colors your monitor can detect. Like that's the problem with the poster. Guess money can buy a good monitor but it can't buy good taste.
