Since Napoleon Dynamite became a surprise hit, it seems every movie that comes out attempting to grab that same young, sentimental but unattached, hip demographic uses the same font pseudo-hand drawn colored pencil font..
Any other instances?

Ha! That's right. Also Eagle vs. Shark.

My 8-year-old nephew Theo does the same thing.
What an asshole!
I could not be more in favor of this trend. I think they all look better/more appealing than any of the usual fonts.
Flight of the Conchords
They already made a tv movie for Bristol Palin?
:foghorn:
Not a movie but...
I think they should go back to using Old English font.
What. This is like design vs. clip-art. What.
it's all action jackson's fault.
Hipstery hipster, hipster hip hipster.
Dammit, I wanted to start The Next Big Font Trend. Back to the drawing board, Dom Casual.
(I started the whole Lowercase Sans Serif thing! no... no I didn't...)
I think the real issue is that "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" is the worst movie title I've ever heard in my entire life. Try saying it out loud without cringing and shuddering. I can only hope that movie is a dramatization of Troy's Mixtape of Love.
This also reminds me that before last night's festivities at the RNC, I heard some CNN reporters talking about the fact that the "hand-drawn" McCain/Palin placards were actually produced en masse and handed out to people as they entered the arena, I guess to appeal to the same demographic as all the above examples.
Just to add to the photolibrary, here's posters for the ones mentioned without pictures thus far..
Also, kudos to yumitree for recognizing Action Jackson, which happens to be on the first result when you search Google for "hipster font" (sans quotes)
Also, I can't believe I forgot this one, not quite Action Jackson in that it's not blocky, but it has the same spirit..

Point of discussion: Should any project featuring Action Jackson or variants thereof be immediately disqualified from viewing like anything BIG AND RED warning signs that features on so many posters?
Count the films/albums/television shows, which ones were genuinely any good? When a company releases promotional material with an Action Jackson-esque font are they deliberately pandering to the hipster demographic?
Man that BIG AND RED thing is pretty amazing... EXCEPT for the inclusion of HOT ROD, which I honestly think might be one of the best dumb comedies to come out in recent years. I love it!Originally Posted by ReverendMediocre

And Bowfinger, obviously.
I agree.
I think the problem with a lot of things like this is confirmation bias. Are there any comedies that don't have big red lettering?
