Sep 17 2008 'Role Models' Has a Drinking/Urination-Based Poster

An apparent homeless alcoholic is wearing dress pants!? I've got to see how that incongruity could occur! Plus, as a cool, youthful dude, I'm always saying how things are the "worst ____ ever," or that something is an "epic fail," so this poster really speaks to me on multiple levels.

Sep 16 2008 Red-Band 'Role Models' Trailer Pours Sugar on My D

Here's the red-band, cuss-filled trailer to Role Models, the comedy written, directed, and starring various The State people you're probably better off liking. It earns bonus points for including a child drawing a crude portrayal of Beyonce pouring sugar on his dick, but loses many more for being so overtly uplifting and setting much of the action to the tune of a Matchbox Twenty song.

But then again, the Reindeer Games joke is pretty good, as is Paul Rudd. But man, this overly-precocious kid is going to get old real quick (both in the movie and real life, when he'll probably turn to drugs). So I don't know what to think. Anyone?

Sep 12 2007 Southland Tales Poster is Busy, Patriotic?

The poster to Donnie Darko writer/director Richard Kelly's sophomore effort, Southland Tales, is really cluttered with a bunch of crap, and might be meant to look sort of like the American flag, but only vaguely does. But with over two years of delays for re-editing and the entire cast of The Rundown at your disposal, how could you go wrong?*

*By making a movie so bad it needed two years to be re-edited. Also, using The Rundown as a casting mold was probably a bad idea. Involving Night Court's John Larroquette probably isn't helping either.
