Poster Review: The Dilemma

Nothing especially remarkable or ground-breaking about this one. Apparently having Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, and "A New Comedy From Ron Howard" has been deemed enough information to determine that this is a comedy. What's it about? Well, it's a dilemma! Vaughn! James! Bringing the funny! Don't you get it? It's going to be FUNNY!

The positioning of the title indicates that there's something that's come between these two funny men. The "The" in the title is a little bit designed, with how it breaks the line of Vaughn's shoulder, but is otherwise unremarkable. At least it's not Gill Sans or Futura Extra Bold (comedy poster staples).

All in all, very unremarkable. What's awesome about this, though, is that the studio approved an illustrated poster for a live action comedy. Bravo!

CONFIDENTIAL NEW BUSINESS PLAN Given the advancements in Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology, it is now possible to create the world's next great invention: The digital bumper sticker. See, OLEDs don't use a lot of voltage, can be almost paper-thin and are actually brighter than conventional LEDs using the same amount of power. This next generation bumper sticker (NGBS) will affix to your bumper or rear window as normal, but it will have a wireless connection to your cellular phone (WCTYCP). Flash memory (like in the iPod Shuffle) will keep each slogan displaying on the NGBS for at least 3 months without requiring a recharge/replacement. The advantages of this NGBS for the investor are so many as to boggle the mind, but I will outline a few for you: No more stale slogans. If your candidate lost, you can instantly update your Dennis Kucinich sticker to read "Don't Blame Me, I Voted Kucinich!" We think this will be a great revenue stream. After the l

How to write like a gossip columnist

Anyone can do it! Just keep in mind to never use your source's name, and always play up a celebrity's reaction to something using the following words: Blast Slam Fuming Here's an example: "Latigo Flint blasted reports that his guns do not actually fire live ammunition." Use them in combination!: "Gil slammed fellow carnie Sal's insinuation that he got a bit too personal with a badger. "It was cold and he wasn't even there!" the one-eyed Whack 'em Cats operator fumed." That's right, kiddies. Anyone can write a gossip column. And with the internet, anyone can publish it, too! p.s. Don't forget to put a salacious slant on everything. And blow things out of proportion, too. In fact, you may want to change your middle name to that.
