you know with papa johns being attached to TF in the past I am alittle surprised pizza hut is with turtles (both paramount)


maybe they had a contract since way back in the days of the tour that said they would be part of turtles


then again i always find it funny the first turtles movie had mostly sponsorship from Pizza Hut yet they only eat Domino's on screen (only in the first)

It's just a shame that they couldn't work out a deal with Roy's Pizza for old times' sake...

also pizza hut boxes technically doesn't count since thats not a mass release we all get....like oreo being a substitute for energon



but again as i said compared to TF now theres not much new in the current (now, ahora,jetzt,今, this momento) tv commercial world


also more like month and a half Kiddo,....studio may want to actually push something out soonish if they hope to gain more GA


this "blitz" is gonna have to make up for alot of quiet and empty time dont cha know

Whats all this talk about transformers marketing....transformer comes out in about two weeks....this place is a walking contridiction....smfh.....its like its ok for tf not to have tf marketing untill the month prior but tmnt should started promos a year and a half ago....geez...this place never ceases to amaze me


edit...should have read ahead....I see now this has already been coveredby one of the ones who actually make sense around here....

Not a fan of the blurring effect the black and white graffiti posters have, makes them look less graffiti and more done in Photoshop, besides that they are neat.

Or maybe it's just be being crazy. I have seen blur effects in actual graffiti art, but those don't... "Look" right, I donno, the blurr looks off.

Was this posted? No text on it.

I think it's been posted before in the movie image thread.

Oh ok. Just know a lot of people who love the posters. Shredder looks like a badass. If they'd only tone the blades down a bit.

I work with "street art" (in print form) on a daily basis, and you can get those sorts of blurry effects pretty much with a spray can. I think one of the things that makes the images seem a bit blurry at times if that the originals are often rather big, while what we see on our screens (and often in print too) is down scaled and scatter of paint ends up looking like "blur" a lot more.

The blurry effects seems to be made intentionally, as some places the line work is very crisp. When I first noticed it, I thought some thing was up with my contact lenses (it's late and I've worn them for quite some time)

you said it later down the thread, but yeah, the blur looks to be intentional. The design is, initially pretty cool....but once you really look at it, the faux graffiti style just screams "photoshop".

Which is a freaking shame, because there are some AMAZING stencil and graff artists out there who could do the design total justice. One of my best friends is a stencil artist that does HUGE multicolor geek-centric pieces. I've partied with his "crew" and every one of them is some sort of 80s - 90s geek/pop culture nerd that would die for a chance to do work for the Turtles.

Just out of curiosity, has all of the marketing just been in the US thus far? I'm wondering whether there's been international marketing popping up anywhere - everything I've seen so far has been on the internet, but then if there's a butthole of the universe, I live in the country that's closest to it. (No offence, fellow Aussies).

Wasn't that announced/known ahead of time? I can't remember.

Also, Knoxville had an AMA on Reddit very recently. A couple people asked him about the movie and as far as I know he didn't answer them.
