I liked Cracked's take on the Jurassic World trailer, with the theory that it was intended to be a comedy that went horribly wrong somewhere along the line. All the big actors and behind-the-scenes talent attached to the movie are known for comedies, the way some of the shots form the trailer are done are far more in line with a comedy than a serious movie, the concept is just ridiculous enough to work as one, and even the slightly shonky special effects would work perfectly as a satire of shonky special effects.

Everything about the movie would add up to a fantastic parody of exactly the sort of movie it actually is.

The new trailer looked cool, it was like Jaws but with a dinosaur. Also the dinosaur gets others to become his allies. Worker rebellion imagery?

Wild theory time! Maybe the movie started as a dinosaur film parody project but then somehow the studio (maybe the project switched hands to a studio that owns the JP rights) realized they could turn it into a Jurassic Park movie to make loads of money and at that point had to throw the parody angle out of the window. Depending on how long it has been in production, having Chris Pratt attached to it turned into a major boon after GOTG and meant they didn't or wouldn't recast him despite the change in tone.

Really though it's far more likely that the whole thing is unintentional because incompetence is usually the actual reason dumb things happen.

Funny you should say that, have you read the book?

Hunger Games Mockingjay spoilers:
In last book and in the upcoming movie, unless they alter the movie, after Katniss leads the rebels in a takeover of the Capitol her sister (the girl pictured) shows up to help aid the wounded when suddenly a bomb goes off killing her and a bunch of other civilians. The book then heavily implies it was an inside job by the rebels to win favor with the rest of the populace by showing that the Capitol is run by monsters.

Because the Mondo one sold out so quickly, I took my $60 to ebay and bought 27x40 prints of the theatrical posters for Mad Max, Road Warrior, and Fury Road. So while it sucks that I didn't get that cool one from Mondo, I'll soon have these hanging in my room:

The one I got is from AllPosters, who I've had do good work in the past. I bought a canvas Breakfast at Tiffany's print for a friend of mines birthday, and it was really well done. I'll keep you posted on how this one is. I think it's only single sided, which is a bummer, but I'm not going to have it on a lightbox so it's not hugely important.

Hey now! Beyond Thunderdome is great if you cut out all the parts with the kids and the plane and bury them in a hole. Beginning and end are quality Max, but the middle is unwatchable.

Even the end sucks. It's basically a live action cartoon for 9 year olds, with stupid jokes like Auntie's henchman surviving a bunch of increasingly stupid Wile E Coyote style situations.

Some Icelandic posters and sometimes their international versions if I could find them:

Svartur á leik (2012)
A gritty crime thriller, that's mostly based on true events.

Although there is a lot of violence in the film none of it involves firearms and/or explosives.




Börn náttúrunnar (1991)
Academy Award nominated road movie with a touch of magical realism about two old lovers who are reunited in a retirement home and decide to escape so they can die back home.

I have no idea what this is even supposed to be



Mávahlátur (2001)
A drama set in the 50's about a widow who returns to Iceland from America after the death of her American husband, who was stationed in Iceland during WW2.




Sódóma Reykjavík (1992)
A comedy about a young man who comes into conflict with a wanna-be gangster nightclub owner when trying to retrieve a remote so his mother can watch TV.




Málmhaus (2013)

A young woman living in rural Iceland in the early 90's becomes increasingly anti-social after the death of her metalhead brother in a farming accident.




101 Reykjavík (2000)
A thirty-something bohemian bum who still lives at home falls in love with his mother's lesbian lover.




Nói Albinói (2003)
Nói, the 17 year old village idiot and/or genius, attempts to escape his tiny isolated home village.



Hross í oss (2013)
A anthology of humorous horse related stories.



Foxtrot (1988)
When transporting money across the black sand wastelands on southern Iceland two brothers fall into a spiral of death and violence.

The worst thing about the casting of the new Terminator movie is that Kyle Reese is an utterly generic, hairless meatball. Where's he getting all of his loving protein? At least Michael Biehn sort of looked like a beleaguered refugee. The new guy looks like the default setting in a character creation menu in a game.

Actually it's a reference to the biblical Sodom. But the reason they changed it is probably because of connotation to buggery.
