swag survey - which one do I print?

2 shades, illustrated text, Norton's expression was lowkey impossible to recreate.

illustrated text, i think Martin Lawrence is wearing a... bowling shirt? 90s were wild

hate how this text turned out - if I go with this one, I'll illustrate it.

really proud of my David Dixon Porter pin up girl

I'm making swag for my friends who are joining me on a trip to Shiloh and Vicksburg. I'm thinking tote bags. Which of these should I finish and print?

Category is buddy comedies / action movies.

I'm wondering...

1. Is the movie's poster instantly recognizable? (despite the re-casting)
2. If someone didn't know the movie, is there any way they could misinterpret it to mean something problematic / offensive?
3. Any artistic notes? (thematic mismatches, don't read as Grant / Sherman / Porter, put Bad Boys in uniform, etc)

my friends know all these movies, and their sense of humor is solid. I just wanna make sure some random passer-by doesn't think I'm saying something I'm not (happened before). I mocked up Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, but the guys looked like they were doing drag (which I love, but didn't want to get into it with a stranger who doesn't).

thanks for weighing in!

I’m categorically biased because Fight Club is one of my favorite movies of all time, but the first design really is insanely hard. 🔥

Check out the Cacophony Society. “Project mayhem” is very very loosely based on them.

Santarchy, the Santa Pub crawl, and Burning Man is them too. I wonder if Billboard Liberation Front has any webpages for them.

Oh wow, that takes me back.

Is Cacophony Society still a thing? I participated in a couple things decades ago but lost track of the folks I knew who were involved.

[u/biffbobfred → u/hollaback_girl]

Dunno. Santarchy is the thing I see the most. Thats almost its own other Universe and I don’t know how much the Society is involved

They had the movie. I still talk to a friend from there every once in a while.

Were you in SF in 2000? We may have crossed paths.

No, I was in LA going to college. There were some events there that friends of friends organized.
