Maybe going slightly off-topic, but using the image data off letterboxd.com and some quick copy/pasting, I made a couple of wallpapers using the posters for all the movies I'd logged on the site. There's probably websites that do this for you, but I thought I'd kill some time.



(Also I'm plugging letterboxd.com because it's a cool site)

Oh wow, those are awesome! Makes my desktop look like the world's most fantastically baffling Netflix UI. Can't find my icons anymore, but oh well.

Why does everyone like Kristanna Loken? She has literally never been in anything good. From Mortal Kombat: Conquest to T3 to Painkiller Jane to Bloodrayne, everything she is in is absolute poo poo, and she is poo poo in it.

I feel bad for anyone whose career clearly doesn't pan out they way they'd hope. Doing stuff like this is obviously a paycheque but at what point do you think about giving up on your dream and getting an office job? The fall from grace from T3 (relatively speaking) must have hurt.

I don't know man, it's probably bad, but it's not any worse than MK: Conquest was I bet. She probably feels at home doing horrible b-grade stuff now. She should run with it, and become the female equivalent of Bruce Campbell.

E: VVV Touche.

Because her name pretty much declares that there's a 70 percent chance of breasts in this movie.

Is this the sequel to "Meet the Spartans" or something? Cuz i honestly thought thats what it was at first glance of the poster. Also Tony Cox is all these spoof movies and he sucks. At least Will Sasso has some talent at comedy and Loken and Monk are attractive.

Fixed that for you.

But I don't know, as long as you can get steady work I don't think doing these kind of b-movies is really that bad. I imagine they pay fairly decent and you have a good time on set, so unless you were hoping on getting a serious business career, I can't see what the problem is. Atleast you are still working.

Plus he was in Army of Darkness, and he at least appeared in some blockbusters like the Spider-Man movies. Putting him at the same level as Kristinna Loken, who was a robotic villain with hardly any dialogue in one mainstream movie and a bunch of direct to video crap isn't a fair comparison.

Also, a 300 parody? In 2012? Really?

It's a good poster. It was re-used as the box art for the 1980's computer game based on the movie, so I know the art well. What I didn't realise was that Bruno "Hitler" Ganz and Isabelle Adjani were in it. I don't normally bother with Kinski movies, but I may have to check this one out.

If the Crank guys have their way, it might actually be Crank 3. It's been something that people have brought up ever since it was announced they were doing the new Ghost Rider, and they actually acknowledged that they would love to have Cage in Crank 3 in an interview they did. So there is hope :unsmith:

If you want to find positives, just try to think how they managed to make a fantasy/martial arts TV show at all when they had no money whatsoever to spend on it. I think they had something like three standing sets and one exterior location (which was a dirt service track in the woods) for all their filming.

Yeah, I mention that a few times. The CGI is actually decent for their situation too, but there are times you can tell they blew the entire episodes budget for a 2 second shot of a completely stationary Goro standing on a cliff that has nothing to do with the rest of the episode.

Her shirt has zero texture, and was there really no other place to put the actors' names but in the center, right between the two people? the dog looks way better though, and apparently grow some legs. It looks like it's gone from being a Corgi to a shepherd-type dog. Still, a vast improvement from the previous poster.
