Movie Pass Adventures: Black Bag

What if James Bond but married and sort-of rom-com?

Soderbergh released two movies in the same year? Who does he think he is, Luca Guadagnino? This is a lot more traditionally constructed than Presence, but it does have some fun playing with spy movie conventions. Bonus points for getting a former James Bond as the spy version of a cranky middle manager.

Today’s poster parody came pretty easily, but a romantic comedy probably would have been funnier.

A poster for Black Bag that pretty closely matches the poster for Men in Black.
Also: whoever did the original Men in Black poster didn’t spend a lot of time picking fonts. The text on top is Eurostile. And the title? Eurostile BLACK. I bet they just looked for fonts with “black” in the name and picked the cleanest one.
Sure made my work easy!
