Glad I passed, I don’t care for the stitching on the seat.
:lol: (Not sure if serious though)

Might be the last thing on that car that had not been picked on yet..
Seriously though. If anyone passed on this because of the knobs or the stitching or the pedals..
All I read is ''Christmas money is thight right now''. :lol:

My comment was a reference to the movie.

I'd say those are 3 are all valid reasons not to buy a piece of art that is unfinished, or done so lazily. Not because Christmas money. This print sucks. It's the worst print I have seen this year, and it's the worst 'Drive' poster done yet.

Lol that's an opinion! I mean, stuff like ''worst print all year'' gives 0 credibility to said opinion, but ok.
You think it sucks and didn't buy it. 100% fair enough to me. But someone who would dig the poster, like dig the concept and execution overall, but would pass because he's not a fan of the stitching on the seats!?! C'mon, that's hilarious!

That's not saying much, this movie has been bludgeoned to death with screen prints, and most are mediocre

Hmmm..
If it's the worst among a lot of very high quality ones, that's not saying much.

LOL YEAH THAT'S MY OPINION LOL! I can see how someone can dig this poster, easily. People have awful taste usually. There's prints and art that people drool over that I think looks like hot trash. I'm a huge Laurent fan and lately his art is coming off as lazy in some cases. And this is the worst of them all. And why is it so hard to comprehend someone wouldn't like a piece of art because the piece of art has an ugly flaw in it?

As far as the 'Drive' license, stop with the damn hammer. He uses it for like 1 minute in the movie that isn't even that crucial. Any artist that is using it as a focal point is either creatively bankrupt or just a bad artist with no free thought.
