In addition to being a Streisand reference (something I also totally knew, definitely) the French Barbie poster is an accidental sex joke. "Ken" is French slang for having sex, so the tagline can be read as something like "She can do anything. Him, just fucking."
Nice double entendre on that French Barbie Poster...
"Elle peut tout faire... Lui c'est juste Ken" can be heard as "Elle peut tout faire... Lui sait juste kén", which translates as "She knows how to do everything... He just knows how to fuck".
I thought "The Good Side of Bad" was maybe about a daughter of two mob bosses (neither is John Travolta) who just wants to be a straight-arrow concert pianist. And the young actress is not Haley Lu Richardson.
It's not Mr. Taylor Lautner (His wife's name is Taylor Dome--I wanted to be clear here) but it is his hair.
Is Elio related to Luca? Or Jacob Tremblay?
Rebel Moon and Heart of Stone used the same hairstylist for both poster women.
Chevalier is pretty surface-level, but it's a lot of fun (Kelvin Harrison Jr. is SO CLOSE to being a star, and hasn't quite found that breakthrough part/movie). My favorite "we reshaped some true components to make a narrative" part is when Marie Antoinette organizes an OPERA FACE-OFF with a rival composer as an audition for director of the Paris Opera House.
I saw the preview for Elio before Elemental, and it was not inspiring (aliens contact Earth, accidentally intercept a message from a kid, misunderstandings ensue - hey, speaking of 2001, that was kinda the premise of Jimmy Neutron).

" He has his issues, but sometimes an intense little guy is just what you need."
Between that, "Shortcomings", and all that talk of dangling, it's like all of this week's posters are advertisements for my boner.
"Lot of boner talk lately, Bob"
SHHHHHHUT UP, THIS IS MY ONLY OUTLET!
I miss the Name of the Year.

Oh sorry I hadn't seen that Trashbae had already noticed the pun.
Thoroughbreds: two thumbs up!
The poster of Tom Cruise dangling sort of looks like the train is trying to get him, like it’s a dinosaur from Jurassic Park
Chevalier: Everyone's watching... to see what you will do!
At least Netflix’s brand is strong, in that even their posters look plastic-y.

Is "Mob Land" like "Cop Land" but with the Mob instead of the Cops?
I thought of Gangster Squad, the movie in which Ryan Gosling makes a toast and says “To Gangster Squad!”

"They came for our love," just makes me think of one of my favorite Futurama lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFdnYPaeI3k
