Has anybody here seen that Madison County movie? Is it worth two hours of my life?

I was thinking of ordering it but the camera shakes around way to much for my liking in the trailer.

There is a pretty cool motion poster for Sinister here.

I don't know how to download it and upload it again.

Here is the UK poster for Chernobyl Diaries.

I think I prefer the US poster but the UK one isn't to bad.

Maybe we can have a crossover. Just like we had Freddy vs Jason we can now Have Paranormal Activity vs. Saw. Think of the crossover appeal!

One of Jigsaws death trap factorys are haunted! Now victims not only have to avoid traps but have to avoid pissed off ghosts also.

Decent poster for Dredd!

I don't think Gone is anything like Salt. She doesn't even look comfertable holding that gun.

This is a hard one but if you have a high res version of this cover or you're holding it in your hand it's very obvious the heads have been photoshopped on.

Tell me about it. Used to love browsing the horror section when I was younger with me mum and me aunt who thought she was a vampire.

I love, LOVE Nightbreed and can't wait to see the directors cut but we never rented it because of this ridiculous cover. That dude shows up for all of 3 seconds in the background of one shot.

Really? He's in the directors cut a bit more then.

I love that you can just tell they blew up Chevy Chase's part of the family picture, and in the original he's just right alongside the rest of the family at the same size. So lazy as to be almost admirable.

Is Chevys picture even from that same scene? I seem to recall they where all dressed the same for that part.

I'm pretty sure this has been posted before, but I'm still wondering how the gently caress anybody rationalizes signing off on this.

I can't find ant examples online but I've noticed local shops are getting in copies of The Messengers and Midnight Meat Train in with different cover arts that have big awkward images of Kristen Stewart and Bradly Cooper on them.

Dunno if this happened anywhere else, but whoever held the distribution rights to Peter Jacksons old movies here in Denmark decided to cash in when LOTR hit it big and re-released Bad Taste, Braindead and Meet the Feebles with a big "From the director of Lord of the Rings" banner at the top and a big picture of Peter Jacksons face.

That may or may not be worse than re-jigging covers to focus more on a particular actor after they've made it big.

The Piranha 2: Flying Killers VHS I used to own had written on the top of the box in massive writing "From James Cameron director of Terminator, Aliens and True Lies" then a small image of a Piranha and the title of the movie in smaller writing.

Does it really count as "riding the orange-and-blue" if it was made two decades before that really became A Thing?

You know that joke about how between the months of September and October every food product imaginable comes in pumpkin spice flavor? Movie posters all come in orange and brown.

Every year a Paranormal Activity movie in the cinema and in the UK we also get a Paranormal Entitymovie.

Also Gooby is coming out in the UK with a new title. I'd hate to be the poor person who ends up getting this for Xmas instead of Ted.

Does Carrie go around different high school proms murdering a different graduating year each week or something?

No idea but the ending clearly left it open for a TV series. I recall it ended with Carrie surviving and her and Sue getting into a car and driving off.

Has this been posted yet? While there is nothing really awful about it, it's not very eye catching either. Looks like a DTV DVD artwork. Also people pointing Bow and Arrows at you is starting to become cliche. Also Travolta looks a little bit like a video game character.

I heard it was because of this TV series. I don't know if they own the title The Avengers in the UK or if it was just to avoid confusion or memories of that awful 1998 movie.

That would b R. Lee Ermey, and he's been playing a drill instructor for years not just because of FMJ, but because he actually was one.

Part of Kubrick's magic with FMJ is that he invented the cliche of the hardass instructor/stand-up comic, which is actually straight out of reality. Movies/TV before FMJ actually had the fantasy version, and the cartoonish Ermey was true to life.

And Ermey has been typecast ever since. If he's not playing a drill instructor or general military badass, he's a cop, 9 times out of 10. And sometimes a cruel boss for dudes who talk to rats.

Don't forget the sheriff in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies.

Of course, they could have called it Scary Movie: The Scariest or something like that.

Didn't most the cast of part 1 return for the seconds even thought they got killed off in 1?
