Takeshi Kitano's stare is pretty terrifying, and it's fitting that half of his movies feature it on the poster.

I was about to ask what's with Kitano's face, he doesn't have his perma-smirk. Then I realized this is actually a movie from before his motorcycle accident.

Arnie looks like he's about to fart, the person in the back right looks mentally handicapped. It looks like a very cheap DTV cover.

DTV covers usually look worse than that, honestly. I like it.

I'm a sucker for painfully-bad 80's "comedies", and I really wish I would've caught that when it was on Neflix a while back.

He's one of those actors when I think about into people getting famous when they shouldn't have, he's near the top. I can understand dolts like Dane Cook, Pauly Shore, Carrot Top and Larry the Cable Guy. People thought they were funny. James Belushi wasn't funny. One could say it's last name recognition, who his brother was, but that certainly never helped say Chris Farley's brother as much.

Think of some of his roles. Everything from About Last Night, Red Heat, Curly Sue, even Mr. Destiny (terrible poster, solid cast). There are so many better actors they could have chosen that would have made these movies better JUST by taking out James Belushi. But there he was, getting leading roles and supporting roles despite little ability and from what I can see, little charisma. Clearly he had some high level friends but I'd rather watch Tom Arnold than James Belushi and that's saying a lot.

Plus I love David Cross talking about why he hates James Belushi:

Not what I meant at all. What I did mean is why would they take what was a perfectly fine tagline to begin with and change it to one that (a) manages to make the same pun/reference less effectively than the original did and (b) wouldn't even make sense as a sentence without them*? My guess would be something to do with some byzantine copyright malarky, but whatever, I realized it's a small, dumb thing to get hung up on so I'll just drop it right here.

*Unless I guess you interpret "cream" as a verb, in which case the tagline translates to being about jizzing cum crystals into the cold, silent vaccuum of space and really would be more apt for a porn knockoff of Alien than a cult horror-comedy movie about killer alien clowns.

This one hasn't been getting enough love. I can't even imagine what the heck this could be (best guess is an unintentionally crazy musical a la "Phantom of the Paradise" or "The Apple") but I suddenly want to see it.

Anyways, Merry Christmas you old Movie Poster Thread! Have some posters for holiday movies!



I'm all for movie posters not giving away too much about the movie, but this is silly.


This one just makes me sad because if you got rid of the kid standing on the train (by the way, what the gently caress?), it would look like the original illustrations from Chris Van Allsburg. Hey, did you know that there's now a whole generation who doesn't even know Polar Express was a book? :smith:

Speaking of an unintentionally horrifying motion capture Christmas, this one just got worse and worse as I scrolled down:


Mother of God... :stonk:

Hey, remember how the inciting incident in "The Santa Clause" is the original Santa falling off a roof to his death?


What say you we accidentally remind people of that?


One of my favorite movie blogs just shared this little brain-tulip and... that tagline... :catstare:

And of course, who could forget this classic:

Nobody likes you.
Everybody hates you.
You're gonna lose.

Smile, you fuck.
You know, I kind of liked the kiss between Superman and Lois Lane in Man of Steel, or at least I didn't mind it. I'm understanding of complaints that the kiss is happening in an area of Metropolis where thousands of people lay entombed, contorted, and possibly dismembered within its fallen buildings, but I got swept up in the moment. I wasn't seeing the mass death, I was seeing two people who nearly loving died, and realized that in that moment they needed the other person to know how deeply they were loved. But again, I kinda get it, and in a(n even) lesser film I'd be very sympathetic.

Which is why I'm laughing my rear end off right now.

Pompeii was the first of the towns in the area to go fatal, but there was still about half a day between the first eruption and ash burying the town. Due to winds other major towns, closer to the caldera, were missed by most of the ash and not buried until the flows from later blasts, so they had better evacuation rates.

Prior to first eruption everyone was ignoring the foreshocks, as it had been dormant for so many centuries it was forgotten Vesuvius was actually a volcano.

LA Film Critics Association is the most prominent one there and they deserve it, because they gave James Franco a Best Supporting Actor award for Spring Breakers (tied with Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers Club).

The movie looks really bad based on the trailer (And not even "Oh god I Frankenstein looks like it could be the funnest bad movie of the year" kind of bad) but I'm finding it hilarious how many people are complaining that they reveal how the movie ends. As if people are not going to see it because they know the volcano explodes and people die. Like there was maybe someone who didn't see Titanic because of that.

Heck, what I got out of the movie was it was trying to be Titanic. Jon Snow, now equipped with Spartacus abs, is trying to flee the city with his forbidden lover. People are not supposed to watch to see if the volcano erupts or not, they are watching to see if they survive. Well that's the idea at least. Jon Snow is an awful actor so I doubt it'll come across the way they hope.

When Titanic first came out, I was a foolish young man who had gotten married at 19 and was living in Texas. My ex wife and I were eating lunch at a restaurant where a woman somewhere between 30 and 40 was ranting to her friends about how a movie review in the paper had spoiled the fact that the Titanic sank. "What's the point in going to see it now that they've ruined the ending?!" It's stuck with me all these years.
