I had a massive linkspam (with things not about the show, even) ready to go, and then other things happened and I got busy (I've completely fallen behind on the Pacific Rim discussion, sorry about that) and now I have to revise it again both to add things and to weed out the obsolete/time-sensitive things. So I'm just going to table that for a

I can picture Tennant more as Dolarhyde than Verger, though.

I don't even have words for the Dracula posters. It's just mute horror.

*eyes Dracula posters* I see they've never heard of, nor gotten anywhere near, the phrase "Less is more."

...oh my God, the kaleidoscope myspace wolves weren't a joke.

Well, I mean. They *are*. But you weren't invoking the general idea of kaleidoscope myspace wolves to make a joke about the ~visual atmosphere~ of the poster, you were just...commenting on the undeniable fact of the existence of ACTUAL KALEIDOSCOPE MYSPACE WOLVES IN THE POSTER. o.O

It's not so much a joke as "literal statement of what you are observing," albeit in the most amusing way possible because KALEIDOSCOPE MYSPACE WOLVES.

My little brother wants to stake whoever was responsible for them for crimes against Photoshop and Jpegs. I mean, just... OH MY GOD. How did anyone in the process of greenlighting those posters not take one look and go "Do we really need all this horizontal symmetry? Were these bees really necessary? Are you SURE?"

Speaking as an unemployed graphic design major I can't decide if those Dracula posters give me hope that my crap can compete with professional Photoshop Abuse or make me depressed because these designs got made in the first place.

[chibi_regalli]

Why not both? Both is good. You can be depressed they were made and still hopeful that you can do better. At the very least, they make for excellent case studies in what NOT to do.

OMG those Dracula posters, it is probably too early to complain but can't we get some decent vampires already?

I am so sick of the sparkly crap :( *sobsinhercorner*

Those Dracula posters are making me laugh so hard -- probably not the effect they were going for.
