This should've won. Great shot and the title IS three words followed by an appropriate subtitle. Anyhoo, you know deep down that this image is a whole lot of awesome.

Ha! Maybe not for the dpc crowd, but I sure like it. Great sensation of motion and the oversaturation works for me.
 05/14/2006 09:11:55 AM
nice. unusual and well executed.

What the heck!? How did you manage that shot?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/11/2006 06:39:15 PM
Too bad it's not in a movie poster orientation! Nicely done. Best 'busy' shot I've seen in a long time. All the elements appear to fit the theme of the challenge nicely!

steinar. quite the imagination. good luck
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/09/2006 05:31:09 AM
uh oh, is that motion blur? I give you the benefit of the doubt, of course. And ashamedly I have to admit that this is probably the first movie I'd go see out of all of them so far.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/09/2006 05:27:03 AM
excellent

My kids want to see this movie.... so do I!

I like this one a lot, but I'm not sure about how you created the background. It looks like you used 2 photos, but I'm not sure. Pity you didn't use just the 3 words as required. Guess some people would vote you down for that, I won't.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/08/2006 10:58:42 PM
This has a really cool feel to it...very creative...something that others lack I feel sometimes
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/08/2006 02:33:34 PM
Great image! Unmistakeably a poster image (though your title is not quite in keeping with the challenge!).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/08/2006 01:13:24 PM
Wo, am curious to know how you did this??? Great for a moovie-poster. Like the pic alot :o)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Þessi lítur út eins og klippa af þremur myndum, átt pottþétt eftir að fá beiðni um að senda orginal mynd til að sanna löglega mynd.
Mjög flott mynd hjá þér 10 frá mér.

looks like a ton of work when into this shot. After the contest, I'd love to hear how you did this in just one image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/08/2006 06:54:21 AM
Way more than a 3 word title!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/08/2006 06:05:24 AM
haha, I like it, but I bet you are getting hammered for the extra words in the title and the landscape orientation.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/08/2006 05:37:26 AM
This is great - good job on the detail and I love how the background is out of focus but shows the people in the background. Nice picture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/08/2006 02:20:45 AM
Nice one! 8 for one the more creative submissions i have come across so far!

Choice, looks like a wild party actually. Top composition!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/08/2006 12:33:51 AM
great shot...I think you might get hammered on not having a three word title, but great photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/07/2006 11:20:25 PM
Definitely has that in your face aspect that is quite common with movie posters. Btw, I assume this is Steiner. If it is I think you would have been better served going with a remake of this shot "Learn to be nice, not nasty". That one just screams LucasFilms to me.
