# the best idea is
to just shop a movie poster, compo it and hope for the best. that seems to be the done thing

# shop a poster for one film
in the style of the poster from a different film.
What's so mysterious about that?
How come nobody gets it?

# also
it results in characters from one film randomly standing in the set of another film which even if very well done has not been particularly funny so far IMHO.

# when did funny and compo ever go hand in hand?

# The humour...
Is usually derived from the juxtaposition of the two films. So. Putting a traditionally sombre or sad deep film in the style of some pixar kids thing, or vice versa. Or a documentary in action film boxart.

Take a look at the first few pages of Popular for some ideas if you're really that confused.

# That should be the brief for the compo
Instead of the convoluted bollocks that is there now
(I helped save b3ta! Duke Otterby you pre-verts, Fri 17 Jul 2009, 16:24, archived)
# I have made two entries so far
both have been made entirely from scratch, without cutting and pasting anything from either poster onto the other.

As a result, both have been fairly crap and are sitting very far down the results on the image challenge.

When the brief is drawing or creating something artistic, then the majority of us will never be anywhere near a certain few (and they know who they are) über-talented b3tans.

But at least we try. And the challenge this week is pretty good, so we shouldn't bitch and moan. Even though we probably will. Just cause we're British and it's fun to moan.

Fingers crossed for ghosts next week...
