You know what; it's getting to the point where these Foreign Poster Atrocities practically write themselves; I just find the poster and the rest of the article just pops out of nowhere.
Amazing as that sounds.
Anyway, now that Jeff is here with us, we shall begin...now.
-----
JEFF - ARRRGH! Someone cut the head off my doll!
TGWD - The big city's no place for a man and his porcelain doll.
JEFF - Arnold Schwarzenegger's gonna be mad that this guy took his best commando clothes.
TGWD - Hold on...let's forget a second what the title of this movie is there....
JEFF - Okay....
TGWD - Keep it on hold for a second.
JEFF - Holding....
TGWD - Now: Those buildings behind him; aren't they from Inception?
JEFF - Looks it; the way they're all folding in on each other makes it look like a train should be barreling past any second.
TGWD - Which would make the guy here Leo DiCaprio.
JEFF - With a mullet.
JEFF - And abs.
JEFF - And a doll's head.
TGWD - And it looks like he got Kenneth Branagh's beard from Wild Wild West.
JEFF - Someone oughta get some use out of that.
JEFF - I just noticed his belt; it's made out of wood.
TGWD - You have to be tough to wear a belt made out of two planks.
TGWD - Takes a man of special timber.
JEFF - Nice.
TGWD - What gets me is that he's wearing a strap-thingy of bullets but doesn't have a gun. Just a knife.
JEFF - That's one of those James Bond weapons: one side's a knife, one side's a gun.
JEFF - Isn't that just like a guy; bringin' a knife to a gun f...BANG!
TGWD - Oh look; this Rolls Royce thing is trying to muscle in on the title.
JEFF - Deadly Prey: Rolls Royce. This car is fresh off of the showroom - of DEATH!
TGWD - It runs on the blood of the innocent!
JEFF - This car will drive you...to HELL!
TGWD - Now, I've seen Deadly Prey.
JEFF - Me too.
TGWD - There's no doll heads in that movie.
JEFF - Nope.
TGWD - Anyone who's a fan of doll's heads and sees this poster with its promise of doll head action is going to be very disappointed.
JEFF - Oh, there'll be lots of disappointment to be had by anyone who looks at this poster.
TGWD - No mind-bending Inception plotline.
JEFF - No muscle-headed Kenneth Branaghs.
TGWD - No wooden belts.
JEFF - No killer cars.
TGWD - And worst of all, no disembodied doll heads.
JEFF - Seriously though, this artist guy must have thought that a doll head figured in here somewhere.
TGWD - You know these guys never see the movie; they just go by hearsay.
JEFF - But he had to have come up with that from somewhere.
TGWD - Maybe his life had some trauma with a doll head at some point and he just incorporates it into all his movie poster work.
JEFF - That would make for some very interesting artwork for Casablanca.
TGWD - I believe in artistic freedom, but I really think this guy needed to hold off on his fetishes this time around.
TGWD - "Carl, I know you had a rough life, but come on - just paint over the head and move on...."
JEFF - "NO! Can't you see it, man?? That's just what those heads WANT me to do!! If I ignore them, that's...when...they...win...."
TGWD - Carl would have some rough times with those word association tests.
JEFF - Flower...
TGWD - Severed doll head.
JEFF - Water...
TGWD - Severed doll head.
JEFF - Inception...
TGWD - SPINNING severed doll head.
JEFF - Good, Carl. Now let's get you some sedatives.
TGWD - Say doc, you ever notice how your nurse looks like she could cut the head off of your favorite doll that you loved like a baby and she just didn't care about it, just like your big dumb sister would?
JEFF - Carl, I never had a sis...
TGWD - I HATE MY SISTER!
JEFF - Years of psychotherapy in one poster.
TGWD - And years more for any casual viewer.
JEFF - Nice going, Carl.

Next time, an even 20! Woo-hoo.
Dope (and Jeff) out.
