I like the movie poster feel and all well enough, but was hoping for something more original/unique for the pin. This look makes me feel "been-there-done-that". All-in-all it wouldn't keep me from buying the pin if the gameplay is good."

I'd been thinking about this for a while, because in the pin world we talk a lot about the lack of hand-drawn artwork. One day it hit me that pinball art has always reflected the art trends of the time. And oddly, it's always looked like the movie posters of the time.

Look at machines from the 70s, and then look at 1970s movie posters, magazines, album covers, advertising, etc. In general there is a look that is shared by them all.

You can still do hand drawn today, but it would have to tie to the theme or it would look out of place. It works for Metallica because of their covers, it works for Whoa Nellie because it's retro ... but for something like this, it has to resemble the other material related to the movie.
