Im Juli: Behind you!


For Gods sakes man, pull yourself together. Have you ever seen a wing mirror?

Thanks to Paul, original is here!

Just wow. That's the first time I've ever seen a road transform as you drive along it.

WV: Unknew

Although, you know, maybe he's supposed to be driving a car in Japan, or England?...

PSD "im" spelling error crisis! (Quickly now, before the pedants get here ;o)

Apart from that, and aside from the reflection fiasco, what's with the vertical blurring?!

karen cantĂș said...

Hehe, I saw that movie. It's European, but still, that's no excuse.
The movie is not bad, btw.

Kasey said...

Wow! Bad concept, terrible execution!

Kayleigh said...

Wow, that's taking artistic license to a whole new level. "It'll reflect what I WANT it to reflect!"

The german original cover is here to find:

and it has its own disaster (look at the horizon and then through the windows...

The Mushroom said...

They must shop for cars at the same lot as Monro!

Led said...

Maybe that's the car in front of them and y'know .. objects in the rear view mirror are WAY TO CLOSE ZOMG WE'RE GONNA DIE!

Malcolm said...

The scrutiny seems a little out of whack on this. Some comments seem to resemble a person at a ball game shouting at the mascot,
"That's not a bear! That's just a guy in a suit!"

Sure the picture doesn't accurately depict a real reflection.

Something tells me the cover wasn't designed to warp anyone's perception of a wing mirror. Or to fool anyone, like maybe the majority of advertisements.

It's also a movie from a well respected writer/director who's known for some awesomely down to earth an touching films.

... (I'm standing up for the DVD cover of a movie. What am I doing...)

From someone who's just really bored of so called blockbuster movies every year I get older, I guess I like to give real films their due.

@Trorben: In their defense the part where you see the "horizont" is the side of the box. so not the same surface as the front of the box. granted they're trying to continue the car but forgot about the background but it probably isn't as noticeable if you're actually holding the box.

SchrodingersDuck said...

The best thing about this (apart from the fact that to get that angle, the wing mirror would need to be hovering over the radiator) is that they haven't even tried making the colour of the car match the one in the reflection.

All aboard the failmobile.

igucham said...

Shut up Malcolm.

The car in the reflection is white, the mirror and the car it belongs to is blueish, so maybe we are in the car infront and they are just following us very very closely :) still the perspective is off.

Trippman said...

HAHAAAA! Beyond hilarious, especially with your comment

Michael said...

I don't know... isn't something like that filed under "artist's freedom"?

btw ...schpleep, what spelling error? Orginal German title is "Im Juli", with an "m".

derfaphoto said...

windshield wipers guys. windshield wipers. perspective, who cares.

Malcolm said...

I take it back.

Totally worth that last post, just to blow out igucham's angry, tortured little head.

ZING!

Orson said...

Get me a jury and show me how you can say "In July", and I'll go down on you. That's just idiotic, if you'll forgive me by saying so.

That's just stupid, "In July"; I'd love to know how you emphasize 'in' in "In July"...impossible! Meaningless!

oheyitsmynickname said...

this pic makes me so angry i just want to die

Josh Corken said...

Seriously, I want to know where the art direction was on this one!

adler said...

"objects in mirror are totally not where they appear to be".

The Sophisticate's Diary said...

"Which direction is love?"
North by south-east if the weirdness of this image is anything to go by.

gazzatrone said...

Which direction is love?

Judging by the angles of reflection in this film I wouldn't be the one to call it

sushisushi said...

that is rubbish. I almost feel my creativity being sucked out of me!

Current Resident said...

That's not a mirror -- it's a portal into another dimension.

Orangetiki said...

Horrible concept with horrible talent. IF you can even call it that.

neither them know "which direction is love". LOL.

Miranda said...

If they would put on some KLF tunes, they would know what time is love, and then they could at least get started.

Sorry, couldn't resist!

Shiran said...

Daqui a pouco ela diz pro cara: OLHA PRA FRENTE, P@RRA! VAI BATER!!

She will shout scared-to-death: WATCH OUT, YOUSONOFABITCH! WE GONNA CRASH!!

Bilby P. Dalgyte said...

Hahaha! OMG this is like, the BEST stuff up so far! The tag line suggests he's having dificulty with directions on a straight road, there's no road behind them, the mirror is on the side of the car and yet somehow is magically looking in from the hood of the car :P There are just so many things wrong with this image it's hilarious :D

zora said...

moritz bleibtreu better watch where he's going or he'll hit the post... especialy in he dimension is in at the moment.

wv: fabobooz (that's the stuff the guy was drinking who did this poster...)

zora said...

edit: and me, too... THE dimension HE is in!

Erik said...

I thought it was just a dumb impossible concept until somebody pointed out the windshield wipers. Now I want to go punch somebody.

daddy said...

] WTF!

] just didn't get it at all man!!

] that's not a mirror!!

] that's the new rear.cam + side.monitor car kit!

The Phantom Hack said...

Looks like something my niece would do...

Tammi said...

The windshield wipers -- LMAO!!! Most excellent!

affa said...

its cool ihave we can to do more

Zappelbein said...

Actually i think its made like this on purpose, laughing at this is like saying to a face on a magazine cover "ZOMG HE HAS NO BODY!!!!"

SJB said...

This one's confusing me beyond all hope now. Right, is that reflection supposed to be the same car? Then why is the reflection white and the car blue?

space3 said...

Love your blog!

the disasters and the titles!!!

Thomas said...

Wing Mirrors actually exist - http://bit.ly/QUbod

Sarah said...

I still love this movie.

Wiktoria said...

i can do that!! ;)

Mandy said...

I thought they were sitting in one of those little electric "pod" cars that one sees everywhere today. Now I see it's a mirror (two days later!)

kr! Ivars said...

Very funny and charming ;)
