Man Looking Down

There is a great trend in movie posters, highlighted by the cover of the upcoming game Bioshock Infinite.



If you want to say it all, without saying it, look down.

EDIT: New Favorite

I mean, come on! Stephen Dorff is the man! E-Cigs! And Soulja Boy's up in this ho!



Here are some other great examples:


At least they gave her something to look at.








Not dark enough!


Now we're talking? Can barely even see him. Is his suit even blue anymore?










He's got a lot of payne.


Double down look for bonus points!





Martin Lawrence's face is so great in this one.



At least someone gets the joke.



Be the only one looking down, to show how much tougher it is for you.



Who's brooding harder?


What the hell is down there?



The down/back-turned combo for double tough.



Spiderman again, because they really wanted to highlight how much darker this one is.
Also, "The Untold Story Begins" ????? I think I've heard this one before.



I argue that the more you look down in your poster, the less dark and brooding the movie actually is. Most of these movies are romantic comedies!

You can probably blame it all on Batman.







Please keep adding as they come along.


Here are some other great collections of poster cliches:

My favorite - the back to the poster to tell me how crazy the thing is that I am looking at.
