Critters: Good posters, bad posters and completely off base posters          Critters 2: Consistent sequel poster and TAGLINES   Critters 3: Pre- and Post- DiCaprio   Critters 4: The one I didn't see; thank god   Critters fan posters: The pretty awesome    Crihahahahahahaha:  You know, I still don't get the Critters in Special Cops one.

I'm guessing they wanted to make Critters more of franchise characters or something, so they decided to name the first Critters after those two bounty hunter/intergalactic cops and add 'Critters in ...' to it? Iunno.

I remember having the first two Critters movies on VHS as a kid. I can't even remember how I got them but I'm guessing it had to do with Gremlins at some level. Critters weren't exactly kids movies though, but I still liked them.

Jedit posted:Critters 4 is much better than Critters 3 - though admittedly you could say the same about 93% of all movies ever made. I thought parts 1-3 were terrible but hilarious, while 4 was just plain terrible. It tries to be a serious Alien-like space horror movie, but for some reason this doesn't quite work when the monsters are, you know, the Critters. I bought a collection with all four movies a few years ago. The whole thing started with me talking to my then-girlfriend about the movies and how the Finnish translation is even more hilarious "Nakertajat", which translates back into English as "Nibblers". She was all "there's no loving way that's a real movie you're describing" so clearly I had to show her Critters in their entire tiny furry teethy glory.

But it's one of those things where you should pretend it was cancelled in the 80's and never, ever look at any new issues of it under any circumstance.

I still have to admire MAD back in the day for The Usual Gang of Idiots refusing to have advertising in their magazine since they thought marketing to kids was wrong and that it could compromise their humor. At least until they got bought out and the print was driven into irrelevance and because a license for awful TV programming instead.

The current MAD show actually has some halfway decent sketches. Which is more than I could ever say for MADTV. The magazine has been poo poo for years though. It needs to be taken out behind the shed already. Aragones is the only reason to read it.

 I'm in charge of the poster at the cinema i work at and i just loved my managers reaction when i showed her this poster "No just no, you are not to put that up anywhere" So instead we put one like this one Desperado Bones posted:But with a white eyed guy in place of the cut lip girl Which brings me to this version  I can't be the only one who is tired of these "inspired / based on true events" tag line right? And why did they mirror the second D?

The tag line is atrocious, the sad part is that the one used for the Mexican version will attract a lot of fools; 1)A large part of the population is hardcore Catholic, 2)It is a quote from some guy from the radio, "So it must be true!!  " Actually, they put a lot of thinking in how to sell the movie outside the US by exploding the country's beliefs. That gives them a few extra points.

 I remember being told that one of the actors for this (i think it was Dane Cook) called it one of the most generic posters hes ever seen, think he used more Colourful language though.
