Jim Carrey will never be as good of a fake Criss Angel as David Tennant was in Fright Night, and the filmmakers know it. So they added some David Blaine in there to even it out. This is what I choose to believe.

I just want to say Tennant is loving amazing. Wow.

You'd think Zac's publicist would be on nipple guard.

The nipples have got to be the least problematic thing about that poster.

I don't know, it has the same sort of aesthetic of badly drawn VHS covers from the 80s, it kind of fits the movie.

Except for that the original cover is actually from the 80's, and fits the movie pretty well too.

Cheesy, ridiculous and vaguely misleading. It's great.

Robert Denby: Sep 9, 2007; Denial isn't just a river in Egypt, huh? Nah, get fucked mate.

This is apparently a Canadian film. Years late for the "High School Musical" bandwagon, and sure to pull in some of that impressive money "Glee" got when it made a big-screen movie.

I'm convinced that this movie was designed by Tim Buckley.

For reference, here are the "Mars Needs Moms" posters:

This movie came out two years ago. How is Dreamworks not going, "Hmmm... 'Mars Needs Moms' failed partially because of awful posters. Maybe we should retool the marketing campaign a bit for 'The Croods' so that it doesn't focus on our badly-designed horrifying characters and make theatergoers uneasy?"

I'd say that that movie failed more due to the fact that the target demographic is not intrigued by the premise of a space movie with a main plot point of saving their mom. How many 8-12 year-old boys hear that and say "cool!"?

This.

And they still put "Mom" in the tag line.

I like to think that they just ignored 60 years of advertising knowledge and decided to market the film to moms instead of kids because moms are the ones buying the tickets.

Anyway these 3D animation departments really need to learn that making your characters look retarded doesn't work. It worked with Shrek because he's literally a stupid troll monster.

Is that Scary Movie... I wanna say 3? I heard that that was "the good one", and that clip looks good, yet I can't bring myself to accept the possibility that it's remotely watchable.

Scary Movie 3 has an extended 8 Mile parody because they ran out of horror jokes. I have no idea why anyone praises that thing.

2 was the best one because it had David Cross and Tim Curry, though 3 is a guilty pleasure because of Leslie Nielsen :allears:

marshmallow creep: Dec 10, 2008; I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Scary Movie 2 was pretty good. I'm one of those people who doesn't really like parody films and SM2 had my willing attention for the duration. Never saw the others, though those SM3 sight gags look pretty great.
