Via [livejournal.com profile] thomasyan: movie posters in the style of medieval Russian woodcuts. I think I've IDed about 7 of them.

Is it just me, or is the Harry Potter one kinda... strange. XD

Neo appears to have a bit of a ... problem, too. XD

I guess that's an illustration for the movie, Harry Potter Desperately Needs to go Potty!

Ahahhahaha! At first I couldn't get any of them then something clicked and they made sense. Still a few I didn't quite understand tho. How interesting!

I love the medieval street peddler with the hypodermic syringe in his right hand.

A friend IDed #1 as King Kong, which makes sense to me.

I spoke too soon - friends on a mailing list have been doing some searching and IDed the monkey and the alligator on a chain:

Cheburashka sounds adorable! I was thinking the other one had to be either a cute Russian movie or Lyle the Crocodile (http://heartkeepercommonroom.blogspot.com/2006/02/have-yall-met-lyle-crocodile.html), so that makes sense.

Was there a remake of Farenheit 451 in 2004? It certainly does look like it, but...

(Now, of course, I am imagining the Russian woodcut poster of Snakes Onna Plane.)

D'oh! Farenheit 9/11! [livejournal.com profile] mizkit is smarter than me.

No, but there'll be one in 2007 with lots of attention on pretty pretty burning setpieces, I heard. The movie came out in 2004? How can you tell? ...that rules out Equilibrium, which was like a cross between 1984 and the Matrix (with a little bit of book-burning thrown in for fun).

YES.

equilibrium = amazing film.

[identity profile] thomasyan.livejournal.com 2006-07-09 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Equilibrium was great, so when I heard the director was doing Ultraviolet, I had high hopes. Then the reviews came in, and I stayed far away.

Equilibrium was a wonderful terrible movie XD. The movie that invented gun-fu! Basically it took all of these cool things about dystopian books and movies and threw them together in a blender, which resulted in AWESOME.

Though sometimes I wonder if it would have been as great if it had actually come out in theaters as originally intended. Half the pleasure's in knowing that many people have never heard of it (see also: Boondock Saints, Six String Samurai).

1. Cheburashka
2. Terminator 2 (Since he has 2 guns and motorcycle)
3. Matrix
4. LOTR (Why does Golum have a tail?)
5. Crocodile Gena
6. Spiderman 2 - (Do You see that he's feeling up MJ?)
7. Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back (I love the flaming sword)
8. Harry Potter (Who is doing something naughty on his broom!)
9. Ram -4ga? I think its a Russian movie as pertaining to some references I found
10. After much searching of movie databases.. I can't figure it out. Must be Russian as well.
11. Farenheit 9/11
12. Anaconda: Hunt for the Blood Red Orchid OR The fairy tales of the snakes of gorynych
13. War of the Worlds

Artist is Andrey Kuznetsov. http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/illustrations/akuaku
(as you can see, he really likes using Cricodile Gena and Cheburashka)
He even has a LJ. [livejournal.com profile] akuaku , but good luck reading Russian.

But what I want to know is... Why is Chewbacca giving Luke a pickle? along with a drink?
And Love how the war of worlds one portrays the alien as a meat grinder :)
