This poster is obviously designed to show us just how much of a bad ass The Zohan really is. Sure, he is a hairdresser now, he is also wearing shorts and holding a couple of hair blowers. But is he on the ground starring up at some dude’s crotch? No, he is not. YOU […]

So, I thought that the poster for stoner comedy Bad Batch was really funny. However, this poster for Pineapple Express, which also has quite a few stoned references and jokes, leaves me cold. But does that mean anything? Not much probably. I’m sure a lot of other people will have the opposite reaction. I myself […]

As I understand it, the story of Tropic Thunder goes like this: several actors get together to film a war movie. Director gets mad at the actors and decides to drop them in an actual war. Actors have to sort of become the characters they are portraying in order to survive.
And so we have the […]

Will you think less of me if I say I found this poster funny? Well, it doesn’t matter, because I can’t lie. I laughed at it. Out loud. I laughed at the visual pun and I laughed at the tagline. Then I stepped away from the computer, made myself some food and then I though […]

This poster is quite something. An illustration with caricatural overtones that wouldn’t be out of place in the poster for a broad comedy. Morgan Spurlock looking a lot like a crazed Lawrence of Arabia. All in that the service of a documentary dealing with a pretty serious topic.
In many ways this poster is an offspring […]

My major problem with the first poster for Get Smart was that it covered the movie’s greatest asset: Steve Carrell’s face. Apparently someone in the marketing team thought “Oh Shit, We Can’t do That!” So in the final poster they decided to cover Anne Hathaway’s face instead.
Oh come on.
Look people, […]

- Oh, look! A cool new poster for War, Inc.
- Nice looking poster. What is the movie about?
- Hmm, I think it’s about war.
- Could you be a little more specific?
- Sure. Let me see here. I think it’s about the intersection of money with war. You know, about how greed can fuel war and […]

Nothing better to start the week than a palate cleansing poster round-up.
Chapter 27

I know what I’m supposed to think when I see this poster. I’m supposed to think about Mark Chapman. About the creepy expression in his eyes. And about the terrible crime he is about to commit. But instead all I’m thinking is “Wow, […]

Here is a bunch of posters worth mentioning that I’m obviously never going to get around to writing a full post about.
The Foot Fist Way

Ridiculously funny or just plain ridiculous? It’s hard to say. But it is a hard to ignore poster, and the tagline made me laugh.
Meet Bill

Not sure I want to. I mean, […]

This Forgetting Sarah Marshall Poster devotes a fair amount of prime space to the task of saying that this comes from the same people that brought you Knocked Up and 40-Year-Old Virgin. And indeed this seems like the heir apparent to those films, not only because of the Apatow connection, but because this is another […]
