Come on now. You’ve got Shannyn Sossamon, Edward Burns, and Margaret Cho and this is the best crap you can throw together for a poster? I mean sure they’ve all had their career set-backs over the years. Cho was straight, then gay, then straight, then gay, and that’s ok because I really liked that sitcom she had on ABC, and I know I’m the only one that watched it. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Sossamon did a ton of movies and was a Hollywood “it” girl and then got pregnant and dropped out of the scene for like 25 years or something. Ed Burns was the indie go-to guy and then he did some commercial stuff, then he just used a really bad accent for a while and relied on that, and then he was on W&G, and then he went back to indie stuff, and now who knows what he’s doing. But still, this poster is the sort of thing that nightmares are made of, and not good nightmares either. Things that make other things, it’s all about Gestalt, that’s the new trend in Hollywood. One I hoped would die this year. I bet it will die as soon as my over-use of commas and hyphens. Which seems to be no time soon. As well as my over-use of the word “which” “which” I use incorrectly but I still like.
The person that worked on this poster is getting a personal Design Ass Kicking by yours truly and they are going to be forced to use a Dell with a keyboard missing the ASDF row of keys, only odd numbers, a mouse that doesn’t click, and only Comic Sans. Suck on that. Oh yeah and you’re not getting Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Paint. You have to use Kid Pix for everything. Have fun with that.

Comment by powkang January 4, 2008 @ 10:56 pmI spent my holidays slowly deteriorating in front of various televisions and this movie always brought the lulz. Not only is the commercial hilarious, but the whole mouths-as-eyes thing makes me giggle even while sober.
I may have to pirate this because it’s clearly going to suck… and Shannyn’s in it. Shannyn could make a root canal all butterflies and rainbows.
