They made a book out of High Fidelity? Neat!

I was pretty sure Squealer was about Robert Pickton when I saw the poster (the guy on the right is supposed to be him, but the real life Pickton is even more greasy and serial killer-y, which is nuts).

"During the trial's first day of jury evidence, the Crown stated that Pickton had confessed to forty-nine murders to an undercover agent from the Office of the Inspector General, who was posing as a cellmate. The Crown reported that Pickton told the officer that he wanted to kill another woman to make it an even fifty, and that he was caught because he was "sloppy"."

Almost made it...

Also Wes Chatham looks like a sex-doll in that poster (would bang).

Yeah, having Tyrese in the Robert Pickton movie seems almost disrespectful.

Also, I share a barber with a forensic anthropologist who worked on that case. Apparently there were probably way more bodies, they just couldn't identify the remains well enough for a certain ID.

My theory is that if you liked the Super Dave Osborne/Bob Einstein doc HBO did a few years ago, you'll like the Albert Brooks one. If you didn't like the Super Dave doc, go back and watch it on repeat until you do.

Is Squealer a reimagining of Hogzilla? Guy on the left looks pure CGI.

"Damn, look at Danny Glover. Now he really is too old for this shit, before he was just pretending." - legit snorted. Thanks.

Saltburn looks like a much better version of the House of Usher series.

The video game character thing is from Super Mario Galaxy. Was full of these little star looking guys who looked just like that Wish poster.

Nintendo will definitely sue over this.

I saw a trailer for The Marvels in theaters and over half of it was just showing footage from previous shows/movies to explain who they are. Always a good start.

C'mon Dude. Cole Sprouse was famous as either Zack or Cody

I saw the Amy Schumer action-comedy, and listen, I know how rough it is for actresses over a certain age, but there's a scene where she's having an argument with her mother, played by Goldie Hawn, and during Goldie's emotional monologue, at no point does anything on her face but her mouth move. It made me sad. Bad movie.

Only one hair helmet I can see in that Naughty Nine poster!

Under The Boardwalk looks like one of those bought-from-Russia-biggest-name-in-the-cast-is-Chevy-Chase animated movies you see on the Roku City screensaver. Co-written by LORENE SCAFARIA?! And released in theaters* this past weekend?!

*Wiki says it was a contractual dump release in select theaters before it goes VOD in two weeks. Sounds right.

'I feel like there’s a videogame character who looks exactly like this but I don’t know how to look it up.'

You're thinking of Kirby, I believe. My son is obsessed with ALL the Kirby games.

I am also sick of Marvel movies and do not know who 2/3rds of "The Marvels" are - one of them is Brie Larson - but also, cats. I'm an easy mark.

EDIT - Wait one of the Marvels is named "Rambo" but doesn't even have a crossbow.

'The Christmas Classic' poster would make more sense if it was a bit from Party Down.
