People know what a gringo is. We've seen far more than enough American movies and TV to know what a gringo is.

Which reminds me, did Captain America suffer at all in the foreign market like people kept saying it probably would?

My understanding is that Danny Dyer is a twat who churns out lovely movies to appeal to people who think the Fast & Furious movies are too intellectual.

Is Danny Dyer more of a British actor? I am Canadian and have never heard of him, but that could just as likely be because his films look like poo poo so I have never watched them.

To call him an actor is giving him undue credit. You know The Rock, right? Imagine the exact opposite of him.

I think it's just a poor font choice, compare the last two letters to the lowercase t in "the". They aren't the same, but those f's look really close to t's.

Exactly. We walked past it and went "Wait, that movie's called 'Love in the Butt'?" It's not the most atrocious work in the thread or anything, but still.

I can't be the only one feeling a bit let down, surely? That looks like it's going to be a hell of an action film, but a mediocre-at-best kung-fu film.

Drive has to be a close second to Rorschach at this point for "Most Missed Point."

Vagabundo posted:

Seriously though, I'm not even angry. Anyway, it's pretty stupid to suggest that bringing up an NFL team in the marketing of the film will be any way damaging to the international campaign at all. No one outside of the US cares about football, or even cares enough about it, nor will it have any significant impact either way on the likely box office.

If there's one non-cinematic thing that reading CD has taught me, it's that Americans have a tendency to vastly overestimate how many shits - positive or negative - the rest of the world gives about American Things.

I'm pretty sure it was a general request he made to the whole internet, not just SA.

Yeah, he wrote a letter to the Internet basically saying "look guys, I appreciate that you love my stuff so much you want to share it, but it feels weird seeing other people do what they want with it and I'm kind of personally attached to it, so if you wouldn't put it online that'd be cool. Thanks."

Why does Ada look more realistic in the games than she does in this poster?

Because there's probably more computer work been put into de-aging Li Bingbing by about 20 years for that poster.

Instead of throwing every single actor onto the poster and making it terrible, you just combine them!

A little bit blown up there some similarity. Sex appeal is probably a factor but not as obvious as widow.

It's pretty clearly a slightly toned down boobs-and-butt pose.

They're simultaneously releasing two versions of Warcraft telling the same story, one from the Horde perspective and one from the Alliance perspective.

As long as it makes sense to the story who cares? Was Sue adopted or Johnny? Interracial family? As long as it is logical and not just "must have POC because reasons".

What other reason could there be beyond either "interracial family" or "adoption"? I don't even understand why anyone has a thing about this, it's not like this is 1935 or something.

He's pretty good in the first season of Blackadder. For bonus points, you'll also get to show him the peak of the witty side of Rowan Atkinson's career. Nothing against Mr. Bean, which is pretty great physical comedy (please ignore the movies), but it really sucks that it overshadows Blackadder for most people.

Blessed's great in that but that was hands down the worst season of Blackadder.
