If you told me some time back that there would be a greasy-looking b-movie with Thomas Jane and John Cusack, I'd have been first in line to see that, but, man, those posters do the thing no favors whatsoever.

This first one looks so bad it must be awesome (and has a great poster) and this second one looks ridiculous, but I'll watch basically anything James Brown did.

I can take or leave Mondo. When they're doing alternate versions of modern (bad) posters, it's alright, but you can't beat classic design---and when they try to beat it, they lose.

These kitchen sink posters always do a poor job of separating the elements, even if some of the elements themselves look ok. After watching the Drew Struzan documentary I'm even more spoiled when it comes to movie posters.

I'm so annoyed, seeing this. I found a copy of it on VHS buried at the bottom of a stack of tapes at a Goodwill. I ended up lending it to a co-worker, with the expectation I'd get it back come the end of the week or something.

We got laid off that Wednesday as we walked in the door.

Horizontally-oriented heraldric cats are leopards, gently caress that poster, 0/10.

To be fair, it's a play on the "three lions" of the English football team's crest.

I bought the Andy Sidaris DVD collection at Wal-Mart for $5 bucks just because I wanted more bad movies to watch and have been working my way through them. I was pleasantly surprised by Malibu Express and Picasso Trigger. Malibu seems to be a softcored, lighter-tone version of the John Holmes Johnny Wadd detective porno series with a more sympathetic lead, while Picasso has an intriguing and brutal plot (although you can see twists pretty obviously). They're not good movies, to say the least, but they're entertaining films, and some times that's just what you want.

Also, Sidaris liked the human form whatever the gender. While the giant-breasted fitness models are the focus of the covers, he often lovingly shoots the bodybuilder male leads so you can see every sweat drop glistening off their muscles :gay:

I can't say this doesn't sound like a good time if you want a movie about dudes or ladies shooting other dudes or ladies.

If I heard correctly, those comic book posters are going to be all the covers of DC's titles for a month next year. Unfortunately, they're just the covers, the stories inside are going to be the same old bullshit. If they were actually doing stories like Batman and Superman in The Fugitive, etc., I'd care a whole lot more. But, yeah, some of them are good, some are just lazy-rear end bullshit.

Really, the only one that was good was the "Super Man" one that started it. Also, that suddenly makes sense since all those titles are Warner Bros. owned titles.

But, yeah, that Sinestro is totally lame, out of context, and inappropriate to the character. Seriously, that really should be Cyborg or Metallo or another robot or cyborg character.

I thought that one was alright. I liked the Bullitt and Bill & Ted ones as well, but yeah, a lot of them were just entirely unreasonable.
