Isn't This Cool?

Blue and Orange!

I found a small article in (you guessed it) Entertainment Weekly (the actual magazine this time, not the website) which discussed Hollywood's liking towards orange and blue movie posters. You think every Jennifer Aniston rom-com DVD looks the same, wait till you see some of these pictures!

EW mentioned a lot of them -- Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Iron Man 2, The Last Airbender, GI Joe, Inception (which I did not know), The Taking of Pelham 123, Jonah Hex, Legion, and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. A lot, right?

What, you don't believe me? Just look at the pictures below, my friends.

Upon reading this, I was like, What?! So I did some snooping myself. And I came up with more movies!

Isn't that really cool? (And I like to think 500 Days Of Summer counts, but you tell me if you don't think it does.)

In addition to movies, there are some video games that display the orange-blue color scheme, including the first two Mass Effect games:

Apparently it all started after The Bourne Identity. Charles Reimers spoke to Entertainment Weekly exclusively, saying "Orange and blue are complementary colors, so just by nature they give you that jolt that you need. The studio's always saying 'Make it pop' and those two are the big favorites."

Huh! I guess it works for me, since I have truthfully seen the majority of those movies. I wonder if it's another marketing ploy that they all happen to be relatively big-budget, "major" movies -- and have the orange and blue!

Anyway, the next time you find yourself at a movie theater or a Blockbusters, look out for the blue and orange! Can anyone find other movies not mentioned above? I've already got a few I can add: The Dark Knight, Dragonball: Evolution, Into The Blue, Watchmen, Slumdog Millionaire, the first Iron Man, City Of Ember, and Australia.

**And don't you dare say I have too much time on my hands. It's summer! I've got all day!**
