Cute, adorable, and creepy at the same time!


That is seriously so loving depressive. But hey! The little cute lamb is going to die for God! Yay!

More crappy stuff:





Reasons why it's ugly for me? Aside from being so generic. Look at their EYES. Look at the dragon girl's "sexy" and "cute" pose. It always creeped me out seeing those posters in real life.

That's probably the Golgotha and it's probably Jesus up there dying.

Also was Judah taken to be sacrificed? Because that's the vibe I was getting from that.
Judah the biblical person doesn't have anything to do with this poster I think, other than being in the bible and being the source of the name of the tribe of Judah and later the Kingdom of Judah.

Looking at the poster, it just seems to be "Jesus: The animal movie". They basically had the choice between naming it "Jesus" / "The Lion of Judah" / "Lamb of God", and they must have figured that "The Lion of Judah" would attract more people or make the movie stand out amongst all the Jesus movies.

No, I mean Judah the lamb in the movie. They got this lamb and threw him in a box and carted him off.

Whoops, sorry, missed that the lamb was actually called Judah. That's just confusing as hell. The lamb is still Jesus though, right?

What if the lamb was going to be slaughtered for the last supper and saving the lamb just denied Jesus and pals some delicious lamb?

Pretty sure the story is going to be about the lamb was set up to be sacrificed but because of Jesus' sacrifice he doesn't need to be. As in the practice of sacrificing a lamb for Passover being replaced by Jesus in Christian theology.




edit: please post that horse face some more, not being sarcastic. Also that creepy female dragon is wearing a sportsbra I think.

I love for that last one that they just put some random demon that doesn't resemble anything in the actual film on it. Also, yeah, the Hellraiser 3 one there is recycled from the original. If you've ever seen Hellraiser 3, you will know that creativity and being...well...good, were not exactly in that movies wheelhouse.

If I wanted to shame myself I'd say the "demon" in the 3rd poster is taken from Barker's book "The Thief Of Always" Which was Barkers take on a childrens book which involved timeless beings kidnapping kids and bastards running around with huges gob full of making GBS threads sharp teeth. Cheers, Clive!

Thief of Always was published in 1992, though, five years after Hellraider was released. I'd say it's more likely that it's just another Barker illustration thrown in there.

The first poster makes it look like a drama,probably the dog dies, or is injured, or they have to put it down, you know what I'm talking about*. Second one like it's a funny movie about a dog doing wacky things during the war, with lots of fart jokes.

*I haven't seen this movie, so it's not a spoiler.

I haven't seen it either but if you don't cry when they have to saw off the dog's leg to keep gangrene from spreading well you just have no soul.

It is pretty funny seeing him trying to load his gun with paws, especially since someone is charging him. I won't spoil what happens.

I won't go ":byodame: This offended my female eyes and feelings!!" Because the posters are well done,and reflect what the movie is about, that's a well done job. Also I think ,and I hope, that they actually made a photoshoot for this, instead of slapping different people together in photoshop.

I find the last one less tasteful and more misogynist for some weird reason. It's perhaps the way they are laughing and how it looks they're about to do a brofist or something. I guess it's the same as when they censor cursing with funny words,making everything worse.

I think it's because the first three, especially taken together, paint the guy as a creep and the last one makes him look cool and charming.

I think it's because in the first three, the character is the one objectifying the women; in the last one, he's in the background while we're treated to a charming crotch shot and some cleavage. It changes the message of the poster from "this character is a womanizer" to "HEY TITTIES".

After translating the comment at top, they're pretty much double entendres ("I gotta go, I'm going into a tunnel", "I going to a meeting") that illustrate that he views sex as something to pass the time.
