When Hollywood and Video Games Collide...Posters Are Born

For a long time, posters provided the only insight into a film's quality. Cinephiles and casual moviegoers were forced to choose which film to see based on a single photo and a short tagline. Throughout the '70s and '80s, video games were developed in the same information blackout, with box art being the only indicator of a game's value. Nowadays, we have the Internet, which offers interviews, previews, and reviews -- all for free!

Andrew Miller of SomethingAwful seems somehow opposed to the wealth of data on the 'Net. In an effort to bring back the charm of days gone by, he has cobbled together the efforts of SA community members -- who have been busy superimposing video games onto the most recognizable Hollywood posters.

From Platoon to Independence Day, films of differing quality all receive the video game treatment. It's ironic that some of these films seem more appealing with gaming titles attached to them. But then again, some look completely awful.
