You're absolutely correct.
Back to NTTD.
And Bond knew that. He thought it through! ;)
And who the hell cares how bloody deep the Venice canals are? Get Real, people. It's called suspension of disbelief. And CR is superb. End of story.
This is all that matters, in the end. :)
:))
That wasn’t hard, was it? :)
Let’s think about these things first without these silly knee jerk “you’re wrong!’ reactions all the time. It’s tiring.
You're absolutely right, again. As always! :)
The only one who seems to incessantly lecture around here is you, wind it in. No one cares about the legitimacy of the sinking house. It’s great, period.
But would it collapse or sink? 😏
If that's official, then it is the best poster in some time.
Fan-made...
Very cool, nonetheless.
'Two Popes to No Time To Die' sounds like an awesome movie I want to see :)
Mate, you didn't understand the joke and Craig was wrong; just accept it graciously without the sour grapes and let it go. Folks are bored.
Yeah I reckon someone's let their submission to the competition out early! :) It is a lovely bit of work though- love the palette.
The guy who made and posted it said he won't be submitting it to the competition...
Oh I wonder why? It's great. Maybe he's got a better one! :)
There's been a lot of backlash towards the competition from more professionally-aimed illustrators and designers, centred around MGM/EON grabbing the rights to all entries and being able to use them in the campaign, not just the ones selected to win and getting the prize money. (which, given the fact it has been confirmed they aren't allowing the use of any actual stills/framegrabs from the films, only original illustrations, is especially egregious IMO)
He is one of the artists on the Poster Posse roster - a group of designers that studios like Disney regularly formally approach (and pay!) to do alternate official designs:
I really enjoyed the lecture about the validity of the sinking house - you should submit it to Viz.
Well Craig wrote it, not me: it's not mine to submit ;) I liked the bit about "The walls of your average building in Venice aren't the thickest things in the world. So when the floatation devices become null and void as supports for the structure of the building and the weight of said building becomes a full load on the wooden stilts that almost all of Venice is built on, the walls will - at least partially - .... etc. etc."
Very funny, I agree ;) Enjoy those grapes.
Some of us actually want to talk about NTTD rather than each other, however, so...
Cool I will check them out: looks like lovely stuff. I don't want to get into the ins and outs of that competition too much- I don't think it sounds that bad to me. Most competitions seem to work like that to me and the designers will get the benefit of the exposure of Eon's publicity- most 007 fan posters wouldn't get a retweet otherwise. It's not like they'll be selling prints of all the submissions or anything! :)
This is true, had a discussion with one of the artists in the comments section when it was announced. He even said that " it's unfair that they won't even give credit to the artists and there is no guarantee that they will even return the one's which won't be used or win".
They are not wrong to be honest.
I was thinking more of your comparison photo of a building collapsing. Truly hilarious stuff.
Oh is there no credit to be given? That seems odd. Maybe they just can't guarantee they'll give the name every time? If you don't credit the artist it actually makes it seem less like a competition in the tweets or whatever which makes Eon look bad- I'd be surprised if they don't.
It is quite funny that some folks need pictures to understand simple concepts, I agree. How long are you intending to make these sour grapes last for? No-one's interested.
NTTD.
Well, given that you don’t seem to understand the phrase ‘sour grapes’, perhaps we should leave it there. I’ll leave the lecturing to you, sir.
Good grief, you're even arguing about that. "Sour grapes is the action of making something seem less important after finding out they can't have it." You weren't right, you misunderstood and looked silly, so you're trying to belittle me for explaining it to you. That's exactly the meaning.
Please can we talk about No Time To Die? I'm not replying to you any more about this as you seem determined to have an argument about nothing.
If someone like that guy did a Bond poster just for the fun of it and not for a competition organised/promoted by EON/MGM, then resharing/retweeting etc 'for exposure' without any sort of compensation is totally fair enough. But here EON/MGM actually put a call out to essentially crowdsource marketing materials under the guise of a competition - and all entries have the potential to be used regardless of if they win or not (and the artists lose the rights, which again, for original illustrations like this is a killer because they can't really use it in portfolios either...).
Talenthouse's rival agency PosterSpy actually does these sorts of competitions/briefs with distributors a lot better because they ensure that the artists still retain as much of the rights as they can and generally get a fair deal out of all this. There's a fine line to all this...
