Movie posters

Yes, I have been watching Heroes.  It is about DNA activation rather than hybrids.  Great little show.

Here's two posters.  Interesting tag lines:

And the upcoming Transformers movie:

Here you go Shoogie, here's another one for your circle collection:

"Armageddon" - 1998.  "Head's up."  A big circle looking an awful lot like an eye.

And as far as other interesting movie posters go, we have "Monsters Inc.":

Note the (all seeing) eyes.  Now, here's something interesting.  Lemony Snickett's poster has the threes all over the place - three hands total forming a "3" with the fingers;  3 kids in the middle;  three "M's" - mishaps, mayhem, misadventure.  Well in Monster's Inc. we have three eyes total, each embedded within a "W" - or "M" if tipped the other way around.   So what is that all about, I wonder?  Anybody?

(In case anybody is unfamiliar with Monsters Inc., it's about a monster city called Monstropolis that gets its power from the fear of children.  The power station factory called Monsters, Inc. employees monsters who utilize these portal doorways to go into children's rooms all around the world every night and then scare the bejesus out of them, collecting the emitted fear in these canisters, and then bringing it back to the factory.  The bad guy is Randal the Reptile who has created a devise that he can plug kids directly into in order to extract terror from them.   Quite telling, no?)

Thanks for the advice Bhang-yes I've been saving them on my computer. Also Lyra, great catch-I knew there were other examples of the circle phenom.

Here's a poster that made me queasy when I first saw it

My mom and aunt were discussing this poster with me one day and we came up with some interesting symbolic interps.

1. obviously the caption-amping up the fear again
2. The "child" chicken bending over has some nasty implications especially in light of Disney's involvment in child abuse
3. The shape of the chicken's butt with six feathers sticking up looks a lot like one of those 19th century helmets the Kaiser wore or some kind of military head gear.
4. The movie came out during the avian flu scare

now I haven't seen the film, but to my surprise saw it discussed on some mainstream message boards as strange and inappropriate for children. The movie itself dealt with an alien invasion! But I thought  it was interesting that even regular mainstream people saw something non-kosher about it.

Being that these images work on a subconscious level it really made me notice when I reacted to it so negatively and of course being Disney I always pay special attention to its underlying message.

Lyra- the Monster's Inc. poster and the movie are really creepy ones. When I found out about Monsters Inc. I was like: Damn this stuff is for real! there really ARE entities in other dimensions feeding off of us, and what's worse is that the higher ups know all about it!

As for the 'We scare because We care- Monsters inc.' [we have  W, W, M] Numerologically speaking that's  5 + 5 + 4= 14 thus 1 +4= 5 that *magical* pentagram number!

Watching kids cartoons and commercials is also a revelation. I saw a commercial for a new toy the other day. It was a five pointed star that could spin around and light up. The commercial depicted three small children staring down at the spinning pentagram intently. While spinnning it created a small portal-like vortex!

I wasn't sure where to post this, but this seemed as good a place as any.  The movie Antz came to mind while I was reading the Dragons vs Reptilians thread, right around #68:

It's been awhile since I saw that movie so I thought I'd refresh my memory.  Turns out the poster has the WTC towers on it (sorry about the link instead of the pic; I'm not up to speed on posting images yet).  Not exactly subliminal/symbolic, I know, but it piqued my interest.  Plus the plot is loaded with...I dunno...interesting references.  I wouldn't even know where to begin itemizing them, personally.

And the script gets even more interesting. It's like a giant metaphor or something.

I stopped reading at

And here I thought the squeaky wheel was supposed to get the grease.  Anyway, seems to me there's more to this movie than meets the eye.  Watching it again might make for a good exercise in practicing discernment.
