The Worst Posters EVER!!! Part 9

I know that art is subjective.

I know that interpretations of what is good and what is bad is different for everybody.

I know that what I think is bad you may very well think is wonderful.

I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And I even know that I shouldn't poke fun at those who think they are making the best thing in the world and it is more than art...it's perfect art.

But to be perfectly honest, these movie posters in this installment just plain suck.

Don't worry; you'll think so, too:



























THE FALL

Okay, I don't get it. What the hell are they trying to tell me with this poster? That it's an art film? No kidding. This isn't exactly the product of a hours-long brainstorming session of many advertising geniuses and art professionals. Street people and opium den regulars, maybe. Just goes to show what can happen when David Fincher and Spike Jonze let their names be slapped onto anything. Hey guys; I'm going to a fifth-grade collage exhibit next week, wanna sponsor something else?
























GULLIVER'S TRAVELS

Any movie artist who thinks a view of Jack Black's splayed legs is going to get people breaking down the door of the local multiplex is a movie artist I want tried for crimes against humanity, found guilty and put in a glass cage with angry bees. I think this poster may have actually HURT this movie's chances. Would you want to see a movie that may conceivably have given you this shot?
























SEX AND THE CITY 2

I'm sorry, did you say something? I couldn't hear you for the horrific screaming going on inside my head right now at the sight of glitter, diamonds and the worst image of Sarah Jessica Parker's long, drawn mug ever slapped on a body double. If there's a worse face to put on a poster, I don't know what it is.

























STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME

Now this is actually a good movie. What I don't get is what they were thinking by having Spock and Kirk riding a rainbow beam of fun down onto modern-day Earth. I guess they were trying to pay homage to the first Star Trek movie poster, but this looks like one of those porn parodies of a popular movie series. Not...uh...that I watch anything like...or subscribe to any periodicals of.... Ohh, never mind.
























VENUS

Sarah Jessica Parker...dear...all is forgiven.

I think that's enough nightmare fuel for one day. Till next time.

Dope out.
