The first full length film to be made entirely in Garry's Mod.

Both suffer from "they've given us a dozen publicity stills and two days".
Sheen appears four times on the left poster and I think six on the right. Consequently try and ID who's who in the teeny tiny photos, poor Timothy Spall seems to have had a close miss with the certification emblem.

Here's the unaltered source.

Mildly disappointed that "Tea Time of the Dead" didn't get made.

New Machete Kills poster

Edit: Sorry, I know what I did. I uploaded it on to imgur, but I accidentally linked it to the source. I'm sorry about the accidental image leech.

That would be so great. It's a shame that there are basically no movies that try to do something like the Gun-Katas from Equilibrium. That one idea pretty much turned that movie from mediocre into awesome for me. Well, that and Taye Diggs.

I don't know much about guns, so would holding a shotgun like that normally burn? Or is it just the end of the barrel that turns hot?

He's holding the... uhh... reloady bit? I know gently caress all about guns, but I don't think holding that bit would burn.

Holding it that way would send the ejected cartrige right into his crotch, if I recall how shotguns work. Either there or straight up into the air.

You can see the breech on the side of the shotgun. He might get smacked in the face.

To be fair, there are guns that pretty much eject straight into the shooter's face. Pretty dumb to hold it that way deliberately though.

That's a nice poster but it doesn't really hold a candle to the original. It actually reminds me a little of the poster for 'Deadly Friend':

It's kind of impressive how little of the actual movie is represented in that poster. Then again, it would be a hard sell of a horror movie if people knew they'd be sitting through this sort of thing.

Same deal with the trailer. No mention of robots whatsoever. But I do love how the trailer replicates the image from the poster.

I don't really know if the tagline is a "joke" or as a selling point, but the movie is (predictably) terrible.

Why are there two guys in bed in the bottom poster instead of the guy and a girl? Will this movie have those edgy 'homosexual' jokes I've heard so much about?

# ? Aug 22, 2012 07:41

edogawa rando: Mar 20, 2007; I think my mass effect is broken

Two things:

1. I like how the hetero couple in the bed are clearly photoshopped in from photos of them standing upright.
2. I'm curious as to what happened in the 30 minutes or so between the first poster and the second poster which resulted in the woman being replaced with another man.
