The posters for Bridge To Terabithia always piss me off.





Not really because they're particularly terrible design wise, (though Josh Hutcherson looks like a midget in that first one.)

What pisses me off about these is the horrible misrepresentation of the movie. Similar to the Trust DVD covers on the first page, they took a fairly slow coming of age drama that deals with some fairly heavy themes, and marketed it as a Narnia cash in.

They even pulled that bullshit in the trailers.

This is awesome.

Aside from the morse code (which would mean nothing to people who haven't seen either movie/read the book), the poster perfectly expresses that it's a vampire film involving children. That, and it's bloody (no pun intended) gorgeous to boot.

EDIT: Well this is odd. I went on Olly Moss' website, and it looks like the version veonenergee posted is edited.

That loving quote. On every goddamn book of Barker is that loving King quote.

There's a Stephen King quote on pretty much every mainstream horror novel.

I'm just waiting for the day when a reprint of Carrie or something has "I loved this book" - Stephen King, on the cover.

drat, I'd forgotten how good that poster was. It's got the gun, but it also has that sly look and faint rage in Viggo's eyes so you know that he knows exactly how to handle himself.

The DVD cover's really bad though


Kind of worth it, though, because the DVD disc itself is printed to look like the chambers of a revolver, which is really good design.

Also, fun fact, this was the last film ever released on VHS.

I'm pretty sure House of the Devil was on VHS. Or doesn't that count?

The current MAD show actually has some halfway decent sketches. Which is more than I could ever say for MADTV.

The magazine has been poo poo for years though. It needs to be taken out behind the shed already. Aragones is the only reason to read it.

Yup. In the trailers it's reversed -- Robbins is first on the left (but lower) and Lawrence is on the right (but at the top).


It's The National Monument to the Forefathers, and Cameron is crying because it's a monument to the Pilgrims and their Christian beliefs, and it is LITERALLY FALLING APART :911:

From that wiki page:

quote:

The National Monument to the Forefathers, formerly known as the Pilgrim Monument,[1] commemorates the Mayflower Pilgrims. Dedicated on August 1, 1889, it honors their ideals as later generally embraced by Kirk Cameron.

Seriously?

I think Moretz darker roles will serve her well as she grows up. Too much of Fanning's appeal was bound up in being a cute child, which doesn't help an actor much once they pass 15.

I think Fanning has done a pretty good job transitioning over to more "adult" roles though. At least better than most child stars.

Although TBH, I feel like Elle is the one to watch more than Dakota right now. Could just be the roles, but I've been very impressed by the performances Elle has turned in lately.

I'm really wondering if this poo poo is intentional, like they pulled them apart them and reassembled their features to intentionally throw viewers into the "uncanny valley" and become disturbed by them. It's just the less established actors get played up more.

Case in point, Ashley Greene, who's been in these films almost from the start...

I know Gordon-Levitt's been made up a bit to look like a bit Bruce Willis, but he just looks so loving weird there. He also looks like he's noticed something bizarre during a gunfight and is thinking "Ohhhhh crikey."

Isn't that what happened to the game Homefront? Unless it also happened with the new Red Dawn, in which case it's sorta funny that two groups made the same mistake and slapped on the same terrible band aid. Wonder how Red Dawn will justify North Korea having, uh, anything.

As an added bonus, here is Homefront's backstory, courtesy of Wiki:

One of the writers of the original Red Dawn also wrote Homefront.
