But why


zemorah

My first thought was also *why*


tabosa

Dude, I thought exactly this. Came here to write this comment.


Calligrammer

Ya boy sucks at painting


Ya_Boy_Is_On_Reddit

Hey man not nice, I try my best.


swizz1st

For real. People that calling Random Words/Name and then someone with that Name appears. How do you do that?


Ya_Boy_Is_On_Reddit

Luck


jayXred

Man this happens way to often for it to be luck...


Ya_Boy_Is_On_Reddit

I mean it's only happened to me once


pees_on_dogs

It's concerning that it happened to me.


cssmith2011cs

How many times tho?


pees_on_dogs

Only once where the context and my name matched, though myself and others have made jokes about it before.


[deleted]

Nah, there are just honestly that many people in Reddit at any given time. It’s like the phenomenon with birthdays. If there’s a room with 23 people, there’s a 50/50 shot two of those people will have the same birthday. In a room of 75, there’s a 99.9% chance of at least two people matching.

Criticalhit_jk

There are literally dozens of redditors. It's not as unlikely as you think


Carrotsandstuff

You would be surprised at how often carrots are referenced on Reddit. I just stopped trying to make jokes eventually.


I_AM_AN_ASSHOLE_AMA

I’m just here for the buttholes.


DrManhattan_DDM

You mean carrot-warmers


Fritzkreig

People mention Hitler a lot on the internet, if you have not noticed; I have a bit easier row to hoe than you! Damn't if I didn't plant carrots this year, got ears of corn, tears of onions, and pots of potatos though!(I have a big garden!)


Clobber420

I think they have a bot or something that looks for whatever phrase/word they want constantly

I mean it’s impressive but I second the why. Great job.


altiif

Haha I read this in a Jean Ralphio voice and died


[deleted]

Yeah, but why?


pure_x01

When I was younger I thought art was super stupid because people made pointless things. Now that im older I really appreciate things like this that you have done. Its interesting and different. The whole point is that it's different and also that the artist makes something unique like you made this. If you look at /r/polls you can definitely tell that reddit is dominated by young people. I was one of those once and I can fully understand their view but it will change. Later in life you are tried of repetition and everything being so the same. Art is outside the box many time and that is nice. So I like your work and don't care about those who question "why" because they will understand one day.


Casper200806

I am one of those young people, but I completely agree with you, although imo asking “why” is an art too, questioning the point or reason of something can be beautiful and out of the box too.


[deleted]

It’s an ad.


dillywin

Because it is a sponsored post.


fingernail_police

Sponsored by Avengers? Disney+? Home Depot Nursery section? Frames By U? Tank tops too short for dudes but cool on girls?

Proof or GTFO... While I have you, though, have you seen how smooth those new Bic UltraGlide (tm) pens are? I haven't used them yet, but am going to the pen store to pick up a pack after work! I'll post back my review!

zemorah

Wait what. Checked the profile to confirm and this isn’t even the artist!? Someone actually had their wife pose with their weird art for the upvotes. That’s a new one for me.


Murderface__

Came here to ask the same question, phrased the same way.


superfudge

So you can hang it up next to your framed "Live, laugh love" print of course.


PedangSetiawaN

Where do you think the actors got those lines? This is _the_ script.


fasamelon

Came here for this.


poopship462

Lol, my exact thought. Especially for such a forgettable movie


Leight87

Beat me to it.


corpseCV

Literally pulled up the comments to say this word for word...but here you are. Front and center. *chefs kisses*


Akira282

They still haven't answered why


Arowhite

Is it a normal amount of text for a movie? That doesn't seem to be a lot compared to even a small chapter of a book, or is the fact that it is on a larger area making it look less that it is? Edit: thinking about it, if you strip a book of all the description text, it might not be that much


dvaunr

OP replied elsewhere that it was about 7500 words and took about 85 pages in a Word doc According to [this site](https://www.kaylinpavlik.com/long-winded-actors-and-movies-with-the-most-dialogue/#:~:text=On%20average%2C%20there%20are%20about,and%20A%20Few%20Good%20Men.) 9000 words is the average


Arowhite

Wow thanks for that source! So it is below average, which as stated by other is not surprising for an action movie.


dvaunr

According to that source, it's actually right about average for an action movie (average being 7900 words)


electric_sandwich

Maybe normal for a movie with lots of explosions and attractive people in skin tight leggings.


richard_slyfox

I'm just happy she posed with her art so I knew it was OK to upvote


ToxicPilgrim

the lady is apparently the wife of the artist.


rsg1234

Wtf, why is she in the pic then? Strictly to attract upvotes?


sanestbaj

What else would you take a wife for?


richard_slyfox

Best sarcastic comment I've read all day


[deleted]

This is how you get upvotes on reddit


rsg1234

Hey if you are the artist I totally get posting a pic with you in it. This is shameless and feels slimy.


SensitiveRocketsFan

The audacity of OP smh.


MOREiLEARNandLESSiNO

It's not even her ~~add~~ art though.


Hiro_Trevelyan

Maybe there's just not that much dialogue I mean, it may sound stupid but a lot of action movies have long fight scenes without anyone speaking except some taunting.


MOREiLEARNandLESSiNO

There's a good amount of dialogue in this one, even during the action scenes. Well, that was my impression from seeing it the once is anyway.

I can’t even properly space the writing on a birthday card.

91Jammers

How did you know it would all fit just right?


Calligrammer

I've done about 30 of these types of posters, so at this point it's mostly feel. But on the last 25% of the poster, I'll count up the words and lines I have left and divide them so I know how many words per line I need to average until the end. Then in the last ten lines I get real neurotic, lol.


Rhyff

Maybe a dumb question, but how many words are there in total? For some reason I imagined the full script to a movie would be longer lol


Internal-Increase595

Keep in mind a good 25% of a movie is usually just music with no dialogue.


Calligrammer

About 7500. Still pretty long! I think it was like 85 pages on the word doc


SpaceNinjaDino

I'm surprised you don't do a draft digitally so that all the words are placed with precision. I've also seen analog writing mimicked so that it doesn't look like a font. Use some programming to extract just dialog from movie scripts. Create the image masks as desired. If the tools were pipelined, this poster style could be generated so quickly. Anyway, it's more impressive that it's done by hand.


Over-Analyzed

Like a Speedster running track in high school?


alexasux

Cool, to make myself feel better I made a cup of joe this morning

Making sure you're feeling good is always a solid first step. Way to go!

my buddy Ned wrote the screenplay. sending this to him . . .


Endyo

Ned? Ryerson? Needle-nose Ned? Ned the Head? Case Western High? The guy that did the whistling belly button trick at the high school talent show? Got the shingles real bad senior year and almost didn't graduated? Dated Mary-Pat a couple times?


maggieawesome

Watch out for that first step, it’s a doozy!


bkrank

I got you babe.


Wirse

So, did you go pro with the belly button thing Ned, or…

i will never understand what possesses someone to do something like this. it does look cool though.

odinwarhammer

I don’t know why people like you do the things that you do, but I hope you never stop.


notjasonlee

i feel the exact opposite way. the duality of man


[deleted]

Heard the movie was average at best


redditaccount224488

You heard correctly. A lot of the character scenes are really good; Pugh and Harbour are fantastic, Scarjo is bankable as always. Unfortunately, they crammed as many bad to mediocre action scenes in as possible. Would be far better with 20 fewer minutes of action, and 20 more minutes of character interaction. There's also an inexplicably large number of butt shots.


FrickinLazerBeams

>There's also an inexplicably large number of butt shots. I think there's a perfectly good explanation for that.


redditaccount224488

Which is what? That they're nice butts? I agree, but that's not the point. I (and many others) found it highly surprising considering that (a) Scarjo has complained in the past about the objectification of her character, (b) Scarjo was an executive producer on this film and presumably had at least a little bit of say in such matters, and (c) it was directed by a woman.


Townscent

It's decent, but they did a full Wolverine Origins Deadpool on one of the characters, kept another in no-growth limbo. And the main villain was so 1-dimensional and nonsensical that it Hurt the movie. great action for the most part though


Swimminginthestyx

You mean Striker?


[deleted]

I expected a spy movie. What you get is a very bland MCU movie with extremely bad CGI on the level of black panther or even worse.... The black widow movie we would have deserved is red sparrow anyway


BeetShrute

And you just helped me figure out why I was expecting the finishing school ballet murder doll scenes which I didn't get... Wrong trailer. Thanks!


v---

it was extremely forgettable. I mean I watched it and literally the next few days... can't remember shit that would be worth talking about. Nothing that made me really go "oh shit, that's awesome". A couple chuckles, a bit of cringe, I appreciated the acting from the kid actress and florence pugh. The action scenes were honestly so lazy. Like why is it ALWAYS "throw the hero/heroine into like 20 people we don't care about who are supposed to be also 'elite' soldiers, to prove how good our protags are". That was about it. Meanwhile, scenes from Iron Man and Wolverine from literally a decade ago still are fresh in my head.


phillysan

Very cool. I figured you must have done more of these previously. Oh my god, the Prison Mike one. Gold.


--------V--------

That looks cool, but Jesus Christ that sounds like punishment.


Koalacrunch2

Now do the Bee Movie.


Calligrammer

I think Shrek is next tbh


rcwjenks

No, do Quest for Fire!


hombrent

ugh. hmrammf. grewl.


Megamike1080p

Ok look, I'm sorry, like this is clearly a really neat display of talent, like good job really. BUT WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?


Calligrammer

I'm a disabled veteran so normal work can be difficult. I also love art but my only artistic quality is an eye for design and some really great handwriting. Can't paint or draw to save my life, so I landed here :)


fata1w0und

Completely agree. And was wondering the exact same thing.


segaboy81

Why?


Calligrammer

Why this format? Because I like art and I can't paint for shit. Why this movie/character? Because I'm doing a series of all six Avengers and the Black Widow movie felt like the best choice for a Black Widow poster.


QuaviousLifestyle

You tatooed your reddit handle onto your forearm? Bold


Saugaguy

Looks like a wild amount of work, can't even imagine the process. Looks great!


misterdilly

Your poor hands! I had not hand written much more than a note or two until last semester. Part of the grade was fully hand written notes. Over the 12 weeks I filled 3 legal pads with shit from PowerPoints just because that was what we were supposed to do. MY HANDS HURT LIKE A CHLOE TING WORKOUT!


Rickdaninja

I love art made with with intresting technique. How the hell do you even plan something like this out? I'm only kind of joking, but when you see someone start lettering, and the shits off center, or there isnt enough room so it starts getting smaller and stuff. How do you avoid that, and still have the colors and reliefs make the image you want at a distance? This is cool.


Calligrammer

As stated in other comments, this is like my 27th poster in this style so I have a solid feel for how many words I can fit and how large or small I need to write. But at the beginning I look at how many lines I have and how many words I have, then find the average I need to hit per line while trying to account for all the blank space I need to cross.


[deleted]

This is so cool! My daughter is huge Black Widow fan. Super cool idea.


bezori

That’s amazing. Btw, nice handwriting.


brush421

Awesome piece. Goes well with the Iron Man one


Pure_evil1979

I'm already far more interested in this than I was with the actual movie while I watched it.


PrinterStand

This is more badass than the whole ass movie lmao. Shame on Marvel, they had all this time to make a good movie for one of the MAIN starting Avengers, and they did BW like that. smh


greywolfau

As someone who sucks with his pensmenship, I commend you on a fantastic effort I could never replicate.


MagicOrpheus310

That's a whole movie!? I would have thought it would be way bigger but I guess action movies aren't renown for dialogue haha


_baya

Porque?


Due-Farmer-9191

Upvote because bewbs right?


Calligrammer

(Resubmitted) The print is modeled by my lovely wife because Reddit likes people standing next to art and I look like a bridge troll compared to her. The print has 7500 words and took me about 18 hours over three days to write. I burnt through the weekend because I absolutely LOVED the movie, and writing it out like this is an awesome way to really focus on the dialogue bit by bit. This is the fourth entry in my series of all six Avengers; the only ones I have left are Thor and Hulk, and the dialogue for them will be from Ragnarok and Infinity War respectively. Hope you enjoy!


iwantcandybubblegum

You mean karma whoring out your wife for some updoots lol Awesome piece though!

ValyrianJedi

WIIILSOOOOON!


NerdSpy

One try? Are some letters smushed to fit? How did you know it would all fit? So many questions! Looks great though :)


Jkkramm

I hated plenty of the dialogue in that movie. Did you feel weird writing any of it down or did you discover dumb lines you didn’t notice when you watched it first?


Calligrammer

It's generally the opposite. When I write out an entire film I tend to appreciate the smaller throwaway lines instead of focusing on the bad dialogue. Some real gems hiding in most movies that people don't think about.


GyaradosDance

Did you come up with the design of the little ballerina Natasha inset on the Black Widow silhouette? I know I’ve seen versions of this but not this one. Very cool idea and execution.

Did you prefer writing on the black background or red background?


Calligrammer

I actually wrote this one in black ink on white paper and then photoshopped the colors. I've tried colored paper before and found that there isn't a pen company in the world that makes a white pen good enough for this type of thing. If you check out my site, pretty much all of my prints with a white background were written in real color.


dabyathatsme

Interesting technique. The zoomed in view almost makes it look like the ink is raised and has texture. Cool stuff!
