Bride Wars
Ahhhhhhh! What’s that growing out from under Kate Hudson’s hair?! And where have Anne Hathaway’s breasts gone?! What kind of twisted body horror is this?!
Fired Up
Ah, the laziest of all the film poster techniques. Putting the title into a fancy font and hoping it’s enough to make us want to see the movie. Word to the wise – it’s not.

haha, i think the Eden Log poster looks pretty cool, although I do echo the 'wtf' statement! xD Race To Witch Mountain poster wins this for me though, its got everything!!! Oh and I don't think Dwayne Johnson's head is a prize, I suspect it's some fantastic form of transport, like, a giant floating head, which shoots lazerbeams out of its eyes! or whatever. win.

We had a bit of a debate about Eden Log's inclusion in the office, but the WTF-ness of it won the day. Genius theory on Witch Mountain. It's now our ambition to ride around in Dwayne Johnson's head firing lasers at anyone who tries to beat us to Witch Mountain. Brilliant.

Who the f**k cares about the movie poster?!?!?! Who the f**k cares who's on the movie poster?!?!?! Who the f**k cares how ugly people are on the movie poster?!?!?! Odds are, we've all seen them before in movies ... so we already know what they look like. Who the f**k cares if the movie poster has a bunch of random/weird letters or pictures on it?!?!?! It obviously has SOMETHING to do with the movie. Who the f**k cares if you can't decipher the entire plot of the movie just by looking at the poster?!?!?! And last but not least, why the f**k don't you people all go out and make the most supreme and irresistible movie poster ever made?!?!?! Honestly, none of them aren't even that bad.

You're right, wbrycem, I don't know why I bothered. Thanks for the comment, pal. :)

I wonder what they're using to sell The Unborn? Odette Yustman is not off to a good start - but I suppose everyone needs to be a scantly-clad horror babe sometime.

'Honestly, none of them aren't even that bad.' Dude, if you're gonna rant about something, whatever you do don't undo all your work with a double negative that undermines your whole - and I use the term loosely - point.

The Bride Wars poster reminds me of the vs. screens in Mortal Kombat 3. Good article, thanks :)

Hmm as disappointing as The Da Vinci Code movie was, I think I preferred Angels and Demons as a novel. I just hope they don't p**s on it from a great height like they did with the other Dan Brown masterpiece...

Fired Up is certainly the worst. Erm and what exactly is wrong with Catherine Zeta Jones' face? Eden's poster does its job for me, mysterious and no details to feast on. Remember the first trailer for Cloverfield? Got the people talking disregarding the fact it sucked.
