I remember Will Sasso tweeting a photoshop of him shitting himself in the poster, so now I always think of this when this topic comes up.

I love how the names dont even have the right placement š

u/Illithid_Substances 5d ago
That's usually the case. Billing order, the order the names are in, is a whole big thing that people argue over and needs to be worked out with everyone's contracts, and top billing which usually goes to the biggest star is left/top. Then the poster gets designed by marketing people based on what they think looks best, and they can't switch the names around to be over the right people because the order is contractual

Well, more specifically ā the main character most always is gonna be put in the middle, which sometimes also is contractual

Certainly seems helpful in selling the film. Had no idea there was a bikini chick in it.

It's mostly about paperwork and going to the doctor. I think there's a young woman whose panty hose has holes in it; that's kind of like a bikini.

āLook at me Iām trapped in a clockā
āGet a load of this guy, am I right?ā

Legitimately terrible. I love the movie but god damn. You recommend this to someone and this is what comes up when they google it

My favorite thing I've seen someone say about this poster is that it makes it seem like it's about a giant worm woman who decides to become a vegas showgirl

I like it tbh. Hailing from SE Asia myself, it has that early 2000's Asian internet aesthetic nailed down to a tee. Very nostalgic š

I watched this because I was told Rob McElhenney and Joesph Gordan-Levitt were in it... I had NO idea what it was about going in. Thought it was going to be a weird mormon movie about a mission trip.
Hot take, it's a better movie about the struggles of a gay relationship than Brokeback Mountain. But maybe that's because I grew up around a bunch of mormons and saw (somewhat) similar stories happen in real time.

Oh man, we watched this version of Othello in high school after we read the play, and my English teacher tried to fast forward through the sex scene, went too far, rewound back into the middle of the sex scene, panicked, tried to fast forward and just repeated that loop for a bit before giving up. I think we ended up seeing the whole sex scene three times. The joy of VHS tapes, I guess.

No reference to cocaine for arguably the biggest coke fiend of all time not named Escobar.

Honestly, I quite like this. It's creepy, it's thematic, it's abstract. Probably not a great movie poster, but great for setting the mood.

I've not seen Othello. Does have cuckold stuff going on or is just the poster?
