All originality is gone ... even with movie posters
With billions of people on this planet, it's true when they say all originality is extinct. Natalie Portman, bless her heart, in Garden State when she stood in her room and did something completely original — even that was a something some Chinese person did like six hundred years ago, five minutes before he was strapped to a canon and had his insides blown out like confetti for doing something that was clearly retarded. Here, I'll try: "kfdfasfkjasdfijf adfijdfijfidfjsdifj dfjdfklsdfj jsefjdfjwfjefuhv." Even that permutation of random letter mashing is plagiarism of something somewhere.
This all leads up to two posters. Yes, they look alike, but is it coincidence or just shameless plagiarism at its worst? One is Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds from several years ago, and the other is Knowing, that new Nic Cage movie about a kid whose time capsule buddy can predict natural disasters. Each poster has a world on an all-black background. Pretty basic design, I know, but come on; just look at them.
