The Adventures Of Tintin (2011)

The Poster: The worldwide theatrical poster for Steven Spielberg's mo-cap version of the classic Hergé comic book.

The Controversy: An unknown vandal in Beirut took offence to seeing Spielberg's name on the poster and taped over it. Anti-Semitism? Or just a disgruntled fanboy who hated Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull?

      So, uhh, let me get this straight for most of them...a country RENOWNED for its lax gun laws gets upset about posters showing them? Ah, if irony ever made it across the pond...

      I was going to browse through, but then I realised that you had made a different landing page for every four posters. Hence, giving me a barrage of different ADS. So erm, yeah, thanks for that Total Film. Bye Total Film.

      There's a great poster of Roman Polanski's masterpiece The Tenant with the tagline "Nobody does it to you like Roman Polanski"...Indeed!
