Foreign Poster Atrocities #22

We're well into 2011 and still need to do some kiddie-oriented movies in this segment.

I think I've rectified that with this installment of the Poster Atrocities...I think I have, of course with these posters who can tell?

Now that Jeff has joined us, let us commence!

 JEFF - And now it's time for another game of "Name That Psychosis".

TGWD - Let's see: we have a hideous fleshy grandma mutant face merged with chicken legs, octopus arms and Edgar Winter.

JEFF - Apparently being mind-controlled by that little girl from the old Pepsi commercials.

JEFF - In space.

TGWD - So apparently the artist was traumatized by too many episodes of "Sesame Street" growing up.

TGWD - Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Freakish Mutant.

JEFF - Is this India's idea of a kid's movie?

TGWD - Kids are apparently cut from a stronger timber over that-a-ways.

JEFF - Apparently.

TGWD - Monstrous abominations faze them not.

JEFF - They hop on their shoulders and ride them around.

TGWD - Like Master Blaster running BarterTown.

TGWD - Maybe it's one of those things like when they take the kid and put her on Santa's lap real fast then take a picture before she turns and sees Santa's scary beard staring into their soul.

JEFF - So are we being led to believe that THIS is Indian Santa Claus?

TGWD - You know, we laugh at the concept but I wouldn't put it past 'em.

JEFF - Why do you think no self-respecting Indian celebrates Christmas?

TGWD - Religious differences.

TGWD - That, and would you want THIS THING sliding down your chimney in the dead of night...under the pretense of delivering presents to you?

TGWD - "So what do you want for Christmas this year, Mujibar?"

JEFF - "I want to be irreversibly traumatized so that I wake up screaming in a cold sweat every night for the rest of my life, Santa!"

TGWD - "Can do, Mujibar!  Can do!"

JEFF - That middle word; is it me or would it pronounce kind of like "cut-rate"?

TGWD - How befitting.

TGWD - "Ajooba".  Since that's the word in the title highlighted in red, I'd say that's the name of our hellspawn, here.

JEFF - So this hairy chicken monster is called Ajooba?

TGWD - Okay, I'll buy that.  But what's "Kaa"?

JEFF - Wasn't that the snake in The Jungle Book?

TGWD - That explains his arms.

JEFF - So then this title is actually, "Ajooba: Cut-Rate Snake"?

TGWD - If you were gonna make your own cut-rate snake, wouldn't it look like that?  Be honest.

JEFF - Maybe, but less nightmarey.

TGWD - I dunno; I think the club feet sell it.

JEFF - You gotta feel sorry for the guy in the suit; one side of me believes he's thinking he's like one of those misunderstood monsters like Frankenstein's beastie who wants only to make friends and be nice to kids but his horrific mutated ugliness turns people against him.

TGWD - Another side of me thinks this is a legitimate kiddie flick with this thing standing in for Barney or Big Bird.

JEFF - Either way, the guy in this piecemeal suit's standing there, thinking what a great role he's essaying, little realizing what a jerk he's being made to be like.

TGWD - This is really the little girl's picture; he's just a thang.

JEFF - That's hardly fair to the monster - poor Ajooba deserves better than to be shunted to the background of some little kid's bigger world view.

TGWD - Forget it - it's just IndiaTown.

Moving on...moving on...

Dope(and Jeff) out.
