I was going to put this poster in the weekly round-up, but I decided it deserved a post of it’s own, even if I don’t have anything particularly insightful to say about it.
I think it will come as a non-surprise to all that small movies have a hard time getting noticed. There are hundreds of […]

These posters for the Japanese genre bender Sukiyaki Western Django are similar to the poster for OneChanbara: They both are for Japanese movies and they both fail to show a bikini clad cowgirl using a samurai sword to slash zombies. Oh, why must you mock me this way Japan? I’m starting to think I’ll never get my cowgirl slashing zombies poster.[…]
