I don't think anyone denies that it exists, it's just I'm always left to wonder why I should care and why it's even a thing worth mentioning beyond the act of pointing out a pattern.

Because it's an inherently punchable facial expression, yet they keep putting it in marketing materials for some reason?

I don't like it because I associate it with lazy illustrators. That face is the go-to face for amateur cartoonists. They make everyone have this weird face that isn't even really a discernible emotion. It's almost a 'hmm' face like my avatar is, but it's also a smug smile like this  , but it can also signify bravery or scumbaggery. It's just a mess.

The simplest reading of that face is "attitude", which really does appeal to 14-24 olds.

 I started looking for production stills to see if I could figure out what they'd pieced together to make this ugly thing, but then I found this instead and gave up.

I like to think this is just proof that both films exist in the same universe. Oscar and Felix's apartment is just down the hall from Rosemary's. "Curse it all, Oscar, you left the Satanic afterbirth in the fridge right next to the meatloaf! Now they're BOTH ruined!" "Boy, the couple down the hall sure were spirited last night. That fella sounded like a monster!" "You know Felix, what you need is to meet a nice girl. Have I introduced you to Rosemary, the concubine of Chaos Incarnate?"

The thing I love about this is that not only did someone have to think that these movies were appropriate for a double feature, but it was a great enough double feature that they needed to produce a poster specifically for it.

Joe Don Baker posted:I think the last one I saw was City Under Siege. I can't tell you a drat thing about it now, though. It's really an odd movie series. The first one was sort of a lame, raunchy version of Stripes. It had boobs and blow jobs. What made them decide to turn the series into a kid friendly family movies? Have you only seen the TV edit of Stripes? It's got tits and sex as well!

Oh I have. I think Police Academy was trying to be 'dirtier' if that's the right word. Almost like one of those awful 80's sex comedies.

You know, this isn't too bad of a double feature...as long as you watch My Neighbor Totoro second, so it can bring you back to life after Grave of the Fireflies kills you.

The best part of the Totoro/Grave of the Fireflies double feature is that that's their original Japanese premiere, so nobody knew what they walked into.

Early screenings were actually Totoro followed by Fireflies. After a large number of walkouts they switched the running order and found people were a lot more receptive to being built back up after they were broken down into little bits.

The 3 and the clock theme are all that are really in the movie, outside of the red, which is dumb enough as there isn't enough red in that movie that is makes any sense to have the entire poster be red.

Cool, that's what I thought. The movie has some neat imagery and a great concept that would make for a good poster. I like the DVD poster as it is:  That soundtrack poster is terrible, and the first one makes it seem like a creepy 'What the window cleaner saw' porno.
