Some kid is going to be very disappointed.

The thing that made me laugh more than anything here was the review of "entertaining".

Edit: I just realized that At the Movies wasn't on the air when that movie came out, nor did that show ever give out stars. Also Ebert's name came first. Who would put Roper before Ebert???

Edit 2: also Ebert didn't give the movie 4 stars.

I'm starting to think this box might not be trustworthy...which makes it all the funnier that they used a review that merely says "entertaining"

What I did for my Schindler's List poster is I took a random quote from his review and put no context into it. The same could've been done for that, despite At the Movies not existing.

"J. Edger was a great/terrible film, but Leo's performance was the most entertaining and interesting thing about this film."

Snip entertaining, and there ya go. Instant quick review!

It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
So they released some character posters for The Hobbit. Not the greatest, but they are servicable.

Except this one.



Kiimo, do you think you could wander over to the guys doing The Hobbit and show them a photo of what Martin Freeman actually looks like?

They're aware that he's not playing a young Elijah Wood aren't they?

I think I'd prefer it if he wandered over and showed them what the sole of his size nine looks like. To ensure they put the elements on their next poster in proper focus, he should show it to them at a variety of distances from zero to several feet.

Not sure what you mean. Last time I checked, Martin Freeman indeed had eyes that look in different directions and fleeces of skin joining his fingers together.

I assume it's meant to be a rhetorical question used as a response, e.g.

All I can think of is that very strange scene in Charlotte's Web where another baby animal tells Wilbur that she "Could care less" and he goes on a long tirade over it, as if E. B. White is just straight up ranting through Wilbur's mouth.

(Now if I weren't inconveniently on my phone right now, I'd go find the posters for the various film adaptations of Charlotte's Web. Later...)

Besides Ferrell, are any of those characters well known enough that you don't have to put the movie's title on the poster? Carrell especially, since the dude has played a suited nebbish in literally every one of his movies.

Anyone who who saw the first one will definitely remember those characters. That seems to be the target audience for this movie, people who fondly remember the first one.

I think you're severely underestimating the film's place in pop culture. Remember, this was the teaser poster:

Yeah, they wouldn't even need to put the title at the bottom and I'd immediately know what movie it was for. "Group of 70's-era men together" just says Anchorman, and that movie was absolutely huge.

"Clevuh gurrrl..."

As promised/warned earlier, posters for film adaptations of "Charlotte's Web". Here's the Hannah/Barbera version you probably saw dozens of times as a kid, and it had a hell of a tagline:



The busy live-action version had a surprisingly nice teaser poster (with another strange tagline):



And a later poster that is slightly more indicative of what you're in for if you watch it. Holy poo poo, that cast list... :cry:



I also found out that the live-action version had some especially awful entries in the ever popular "Every single last drat character in this movie however unimportant needs their own poster with a HILARIOUS catchphrase, gently caress you" trend:











And finally, I found this thing. Every single thing about it is depressing:
