Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close


It is my pleasure to introduce on this page the first review by a guest blogger.
Dianagster: welcome to the Movie Poster Drill page!
Make yourself comfortable and tell your edgy personal opinions on the poster for Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.
Take it away Dianagster!

I have no idea what Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is about.

Nonetheless, this movie poster is telling me that this movie came out this December. Is it maybe a Christmas movie? A really sad Christmas movie about an orphan elf with a horrible secret inside his mouth?

Well, I guess Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock are going to be in the movie so I take it as a sign that this movie is probably going to suck. But wait, that kid, who is that kid? This actor, who is gracing thousands of posters hung on hundreds of movie theaters is a total anomaly to me and I guess, since I won't see this movie (see Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock) then I'll have to wait a few years, hoping that this kid did a swell job in Extremely Loud Incredibly Close, and got a crazy role as a pre-pubescent, extremely mysterious, smart, riveting and haunting tween.

Judging by this poster (assuming we did not read Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock) this movie looks like it might be pretty good. Oh. Wait a minute, it seems it says 'From the director of Billy Elliot' Again, distracted by this awful nugget of information that deters from the nice graphics.

Anyway, for the illiterate, that cannot read anything about Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock or Billy Elliot, this movie poster is visually striking, pretty nice, kinda feels like it's going to be a thoughtful, insightful, if a little intense and kinda boring but still artsy and enlightening kind of movie. It feels like it wouldn't matter if the book or the movie came first but one is sure to follow the other.

Edit: Just read what this movie is going to be about. Let's hope Tom Hanks dies off quite fast and it really is about this enigmatic boy after all.
