Is there a way they can just have Harrison Ford argue with Sean Connery's skeleton for a few hours? God The Last Crusade rules.

I, too, am a parent who has seen Moana a thousand times, but I think Maui's design is great. He's expressive, believably super-strong, and looks refreshingly different from any other character I can think of. What more do you want? If we're gonna change anything from the movie, how about losing the piglet who's there for 5 seconds just so they could make toys?

The body is great, it’s solely his face and weird super close-together eyes

The Indiana Jones posters are some of the better designed ones I've seen for a major film in a while. Simple, iconic, etc.

You now have "Super Girl" stuck in your head via the Garbage song Stupid Girl.

Vince, you are one of the only movie critics actually critiquing movies and movie marketing today. It is a joy to read you.

I can't explain it, but I cannot stand Wes Anderson movie posters. Love the movies, though!

all hail VM, the Emperor of Snark, master of the clever riposte that makes me chuckle but not lol (which is good because at my age a boisterous guffaw could rupture an aneurysm)

“ I wish I could commit to anything the way Wes Anderson commits to the Wes Anderson aesthetic. “

Pretty sure Justin’s mom thinks you’re very committed

Boy, that's a whole lotta humping going on in that Strays/Doggy Style poster. The deer looks oblivious, the gnome, of course, seems to be enjoying himself, and the owl has the thousand-yard stare of a doomed man resigned to his fate.
