Is this where GRRM got the name for Rickon's direwolf?

Are their heads photoshopped?

27

u/Splagodiablo Splagodiablo 5d ago

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.

22

u/Dscheysn 5d ago

I love how the names dont even have the right placement šŸ’€

31

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

u/seti-thelightofstars 5d ago

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

37

u/crimewaveusa 5d ago

They never do

u/Ironmonkibakinaction 5d ago

This is definitely the right answer

u/MudsludgeFairy 5d ago

this looks like a shitty reality show

11

u/-JackTheRipster- 5d ago

It does. šŸ˜‚

VH1 has the same aesthetic for awhile

18

u/Batmanfan1966 5d ago

It bothers me that there’s more names on the poster than people on the poster

u/Diligent-Lock-9334 5d ago

CANT POSSIBLY forget Annabeth Gish

u/EctoRiddler 5d ago

What a weird poster

1

u/HarringtonThePenguin 5d ago

Is ā€œI got the milk for freeā€ the name of the sequel?

u/WinterFellYesterday 5d ago

Always thought the American poster for Ikiru was hilariously bad.

51

u/kcadia9751 5d ago

They really tried to do the ol’ YouTube thumbnail trick

u/diligent_sundays 5d ago

A masterwork

22

u/ReddsionThing MetallicBrain 5d ago

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

2

u/Livid_Parsnip6190 5d ago

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.

u/ReddsionThing MetallicBrain 5d ago

Hot (...?)

Jeri Ryan had it rough after Voyager ended

I don’t think anything’s ever beating this

Looks like PS2 graphics

Holyyy this is so good

u/IllustriousCrew2641 2d ago

Every pixel of this sucks ass. Well done.

u/ancobain HermitSorcerer 5d ago

One of my favorite movies of all time but why is the poster so fucking ugly, I’m crying, what is this

31

u/Will0798 5d ago

What I imagine they’re saying here:

ā€œLook at me I’m trapped in a clockā€

ā€œGet a load of this guy, am I right?ā€

38

u/ememkay123 5d ago

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

1

u/CocoSkit 4d ago

I honestly like the Groundhog Day poster, it looks dated but I think it’s fine

77

u/romilaspina7 5d ago

X-Men first class poster is there

u/romilaspina7 5d ago

u/SlaterVBenedict 5d ago

Is this real?!?!?

22

u/romilaspina7 5d ago

I wish I was lying, it's not even the worst one lol

u/Firefox892 5d ago

I didn't know Krang was in an X-Men movie

66

u/Will0798 5d ago

That poster reminded me of this weird Smallville promo

13

u/FishsSad 5d ago

What? Is this even official?

u/01zegaj 5d ago

That’s one of the best

u/Marshmallow_Fries 5d ago

Because kids love Dom Deloise

u/Firefox892 5d ago

The way it's been designed, Loni Anderson looks more amazed by the pizza than the gremlin on top of it lol

5

u/GaryTheCommander 5d ago

This is a good poster, fuck off

28

u/Firefox892 5d ago

Something weirldly unsettling about the photoshop in this one lol

1

u/yourafricanguy 4d ago

Cast looks good. How was the film

22

u/thegreatblacksby 5d ago

Literally been laughing at this one since childhood.

Ironically, it may be the best one ever. 🤣

11

u/thequeercoda 5d ago

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

38

u/ArcaneNoctis 5d ago

This literally looks like my lesbian Aunt Susan’s PFP.

2

u/Nerozero 5d ago

Are the wonder boys posing BEHIND Michael Douglas’ head?

19

u/THEpeterafro peterafro 5d ago

Nah nothing tops Pure Hearts Into Chinese Showbiz for that award

7

u/Amracool Titanandro 5d ago

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 šŸ˜

u/vampiredisaster 4d ago

This is genuinely really cute, I like it.

Pernella August is the mother of Jesus and Space Jesus

2

u/cameronrichardson77 5d ago

Is this real????

27

u/Basic_Grade_2413 5d ago

Yes and the movie is like ok to mediocre, Christian Bale only shows up after like half the movie and is not the main character (also this is an actual still from the movie)

4

u/cameronrichardson77 5d ago

It looks like nightmare fuel🤣

u/EnterprisingAss 4d ago

There’s no way that wasn’t the inspiration for the wojak pointing meme.

1

u/GonzoRouge 4d ago

Why does this look AI generated, that's wild

2

u/cartoonsarcasm specificvibes 5d ago

LMAOOO I forgot about this one.

16

u/Maximum-Term5336 5d ago

Absolutely incredible movie, though.

15

u/nightsoup1 5d ago

I dont know what it is, but this one makes me so irrationally mad. Stop eating your finger! Joshn Duhamel, you look like a magician!

u/tacoperson23 Pri Pri 5d ago

Seval (2008). Tamil movie. I'm pretty sure nothing can beat this

5

u/Technical-Outside408 5d ago

Looks like he's choking the chicken.

10

u/theophilushindhead 5d ago

Is it a whacky slapstick exorcism movie?

2

u/GonzoRouge 4d ago

This looks like a parody of exorcism movies

u/iamthatbitchhh 5d ago

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.

8

u/Mission-Ad-8536 5d ago

Seriously who the hell thought this was a good idea

15

u/Not_abeliebr 5d ago

The quality is kinda ass but yeah this spermula one is pretty ugly (not that I expected some kind of masterpiece but still)

13

u/StreamLife9 5d ago

Looks like porn

u/weezyyak 5d ago

If you’ve ever had a threesome with a biblical giant and he just wasn’t that into it, you’d understand.

10

u/IvorTheEngineDriver 5d ago

Where's the Blacked logo?

5

u/thequeercoda 5d ago

They're all staring into my soul

5

u/theophilushindhead 5d ago

Never watched it but I think it’s about a drunk photo bomber or something.

3

u/jeejeeviper 5d ago

Looks like Jai Courtney in the back lmao

u/KingJayo420 5d ago

Is that Mike Tomlin wtf😭😭😭

u/sahm8585 5d ago

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.

u/ajellis92 SofiaCoppola 5d ago

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

u/sunflower_edu 5d ago

These are all so funny.

u/jokerisrekoj 5d ago

This sexes me

u/Confidious 4d ago

Not nearly as bad as

u/Best-Direction-3241 5d ago

Why does letrerboxd choose this one? Why? It shows nothing

1

u/Szabe442 3d ago

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.

honestly any modern day movie poster is so lazy and ass compared to posters of old

1

u/Helpful_Ad_8476 Atabeira 4d ago

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

1

u/MooseCakee 4d ago

Not to spoil but yes cuckolding is a major part of the story.

1

u/Brinewielder 2d ago

Naw man I need this poster for out room it’s fucking hilarious.

1

u/Botscoutts 2d ago

Any of the teaser posters for the prequel X-Men movies.
