Movie poster round-up: goths, games and dog croppings

Movie poster round-up: goths, games and dog croppings
Another week, another helping of movie posters. Some of these are actually quite good for once, so don't go adjusting your set. Except for the one for The Trouble With Bliss - you have to turn your monitor on its side to read that one.
Lawrence Kasdan has written, produced and directed some of the biggest movies of the last 30 years, gaining the respect of the film industry and the applause of audiences the world over. Undone in an instant by the terrible cropping in this poster for Darling Companion.


Nobody else seems to realise How I Spent My Summer Vacation is not a work of fiction, and is actually pieced together from bystander footage of a recent Gibson rampage. Terrifying.

Maggie Grace pops by from a less-grainy dimension to wish Guy Pearce good luck, in this poster for Luc Besson's awesome-looking Lockout.

The porn version of 96 Minutes is going to have the laziest title ever.


Bob Marley documentary Marley was in development hell for a number of years, until Kevin MacDonald stepped in to finish up what Martin Scorcese started and Jonathan Demme had a go at. Maybe they just weren't fans of reggae? I'm not too keen on it either, but if I absolutely had to choose a favourite Marley song it would be this one.

Hey look, another terrible poster for Wanderlust. Justin Theroux seems to have caught that Jeremy Beadle thing in both arms, but at least you can see their faces in this one. At this point I wouldn't be surprised to find out the rural community Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd move to is located in the Toon Town from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.


You basically need a degree in Inception to read this poster for coming of age comedy The Trouble With Bliss, and a master's in quantum mechanics to understand Lucy Liu's ageing process.

Man alive, is This Must Be The Place still not out? Seems like it's been coming forever. Must be pretty soon, seeing as international asshat Sean Penn is making a fuss about something or other all over the news. Good poster, mind - I especially like the way Andrew Lowry's quote is contracted to imply Penn has never done anything funny, charming or stylish...

And finally; The Hunger Games, in which future-skanks fight to the death for food, but can apparently still afford a basic cable package.
