What do you call a man with three wooden heads?

- Edward Woodward

What do you call a man with four wooden heads?

- I don't know, but Edward Woodward would

The Wicker Man poster is giving me some of the same vibes as King Charles' coronation invitation. https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/2048/cpsprodpb/B714/production/_129286864_hi083616138.jpg

The title font for The Flash looks like it was cribbed from the Metallica logo. And now I am imagining that spastic twit Lars Ulrich as the Flash. Fastest man in the world and still can't keep good time.

He legit ruins Metallica for me. "Okay, we could probably use a drum fill here, whaddya got, Lars?"

LARS: (*whacks his snare 27 times in a row*)

Uhhh... sure, I guess we can call that a fill.

It really pretty amazing. 40+ years as a drummer and his sense of timing has not improved at all. At this point that has to be intentional, right?

The Wrath of Becky is a sequel, and I promise you will never guess who the star of part 1 is.

The Oppenheimer one looks like Hunger Games. Which is funny because a new Hunger Games is coming out. Would love for the YA fans to accidentally walk into Oppenheimer and they think Albert Einstein is the Donald Sutherland guy from that.

I'm honestly so hyped for the Wicker Man rerelease, and I might never have heard about it if not for this column goofing on movie posters! Thanks for the #content

I saw that it was getting the 4K discs, but theater is even more exciting.

Is that Jason Sudekis or Adam Baldwin? Only the artist knows!

Also, the Getback sounds like it might be good: "A hard-living bounty hunter captures a wise-ass criminal, but then the two must work together to evade the crooked cops and trigger-happy mercenaries trying to kill them both." It's almost enough to get me to find out how to watch on :checks notes: tubi.

God but I thought that was a Mortdecai sequel at first. Elemental looks generic as fuck and no way this wasn't written by AI.

Vince - you need more movie posters in your life. I just received an original Japanese Conan the Barbarian (1982) poster in the, uh, post.

They're still going through with that Flamin' Hot Cheetos movie, even though it was discovered to be entirely built on a lie? (https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-05-16/flamin-hot-cheetos-richard-montanez) Ahh well, maybe it'll be entertaining nonetheless.

Loving Oppenheimer ushering in the return of the movie poster sparks. More sparks please. THIS IS SPARKTA!

Also: "Not a lot of actors get away with a years long, three-continent-spanning crime spree." Can't think of a single reason why Ezra Miller (They/Them) is getting special treatment...
