Did they flatten Brie Larson's breasts for that Marvel poster or something? Can't we have anything nice anymore?

I just saw the trailer for Argylle last night, and apparently Bryce Dallas Howard is playing an author named Elly Conway whose book (Argylle) accurately depicts some real-life spy event before it happens, which causes the CIA or some shit to assume SHE is a spy, and then I dunno, the cat is a superhero or something.

So the book business is just some kind of meta PR bullshit.

If "Argylle" HAD been based on a book, I would think the author would have grounds to be pretty pissed off, since it says the movie is "from the twisted mind of Matthew Vaughn." I see that it was written by Jason Fuchs, the scribe behind 2018's "I Still See You," which grossed $1,359.

That yogi poster is especially distressing given the tag line

Thanks to Vince for reminding me of the Yogi poster.

Holy shit, that tagline was either written by some homeschooled shut-in whose only exposure to sex was from watching Bambi as a child, or some gleeful prankster who made a bet with their coke dealer that they'd never get that tagline past the marketing execs.

Either way, the combination of that line with the wide-eyed joy/excitement on Yogi and Booboo's faces never fails to slay me.

I shit you not, as I scrolled down to Faceless After Dark, I said "You wot?!" in my head before I got to the bottom.

I'll be duck hunting all weekend with some friends. I'll bet you dollars to donuts the Blind movie never comes up.

The trailer for Fingernails does that thing where the one actor (in this case, Luke Wilson) who hasn't been nominated/won a major award gets billed last, like they're rubbing it in.

I saw The Creator in Dolby this weekend, and felt like I got my money's worth on the visuals alone, although the screenplay/acting ranged from functional to bad. I'm still kinda holding a grudge against Gareth Edwards for that boring as fuck Godzilla movie. How do you set up a monster fight and then CUT TO ELIZABETH OLSEN FOLDING LAUNDRY WHILE THE FIGHT PLAYS ON A TV IN THE BACKGROUND?
