The discussion, no. The actual reasoning, I'd say 'pretty much'.

If this is about you, when did the Chinese characters get put on the gun?

It isn't, but I was wondering that myself. I guess it's a last minute fail safe; they'd scrubbed any and all references to the Asian girl but welp, audiences, don't be surprised if there are Asian people in this movie.

I mean he even had Asian symbols on his gun. How on the nose do you want us to make it? v :v: v

To give it what little due it deserves, at least they put a word that means "protect" on there.

I live in DVD "region 3". Which is why I was unable to buy DVDs when I go to the Middle East or Australia. That said, sometimes there are those DVDs that has no region restriction stated on its package.

This is done by the company Mondo, who does really gorgeous posters. Generally they only make poster for older movies but they liked Cabin in the Woods so much that they wanted to make something celebrating it.

Here's a couple more:

The campaign for Cabin in the Woods was so self aware that it probably at some point went down to the local pub and got pissed:


These are photoshops done by Whedon fans.

And the marketing only gives away the first section of the movie. The last act is hardly even referenced, and it's bugfuck insane (in a very entertaining way)

Yeah, Torque kind of fell victim to Poe's Law. Coming in the wake of the first two Fast & Furious movies, which are already loving ridiculous, a lot of people thought Torque was supposed to be serious.

Well, the producers and Ice Cube certainly did. I dunno about anyone else on set though.

The director or Torque was at Frightfest this year with his new movie Detention(Very off the wall movie), he talked about Torque and said he had almost no control over it, he said the producers where taking it very seriously but he could see what it was turning into.

He just gave an interview on Badass Digest, and Adam Scott has talked about it before. Some of the cast and the director set out to make the most over the top F&F ripoff they could, tongue firmly in cheek. But some cast members, and the studio, assumed it was serious.

The poster could just be two stick figures with "RON PERLMAN" and "DANNY TREJO" scribbled above them and I'd be on board.
