"Finding Namo" Aw, that's sweet, StageManager2. I've actually seen your photo and I admit I am not as good as you are at making the best out of so little to work with.
I never got the Wizard of Oz reference in the "If/Then" poster (or as ______ likes to call it, "If/Than") before today. It's wicked subtle.
Pray tell: WHAT is wrong with the Sunday in the Park with George poster? I've always loved it.

That comment makes no sense. Everything I post is an opinion because I can't speak objectively. When I say I don't like it means that my personal opinion is that it is ugly. This isn't a list of the most objectively ugly posters because that isn't a real thing. This is a thread specifically for opinions. I posted it, so who else's opinion would it be? Sheesh.
No, pure and simple ageism is firing ______ because he's so old his brain doesn't know the difference between "then" and "than."
Again, I recognize you're working way too hard to present a facade of refined grown up taste. Sorry I pointed out the "I hate veggies"-like reasoning behind your dislike of the lovely Sunday in the Park with George poster.
Oh I am so sick of pretentious board members compaining endlessly about the plague of *gasp* young peoples' opinions! A 16 year old's thought can be just as good as a 65 year old's.
Fantod has every right to dislike the poster. It doesn't mean he "doesn't know what the hell he's talking about" it just means his taste is different than yours.
The "Carrie" Poster is brilliant, simple, powerful .
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

The orange gradient in the Sunday poster is very outdated now, and very much reflects 'modern' in the 80s. It does not look the best today, but other than the gradient it is beautiful. I loved how they adapted the theme of the original artwork using pixels for the recent Chocolate Factory Production.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
The point is that the poster doesn't have a REASON for his dislike. This being a DISCUSSION board makes an explanation important. It is immature to say, "just because", so therefore age IS A FACTOR.
CAN a young person have a valid opinion? Of course, but you have to be able to back it up.
