Post No Bills

Living in LA I see a lot of movie posters everywhere I go. Sometimes they just post 10 in a row...of the same poster. In case you missed the first 5, you still have 5 more after that. I think you know what I'm talking about but usually on a wall like this (which either allows bills to be posted or maybe the spray painted warning is just ignored). It wasn't so much like this in Texas to the point that my friend's mom actually thought Daddy Day Care was a real place when she kept seeing it on the sides of busses. Anyway, my point is I see a lot of posters and the ones that really catch my eye are the shitty ones. Here are a few that I'm currently hating.




The Switch. Originally called The Baster. As in Turkey Baster if you didn't get that. I think that's a much better title. But this poster is just idiotic. If I had wanted to see the movie before, this would make me not want to see it. I love Jason Bateman, but poor thing got dragged into a Jennifer Aniston movie. Which means it's going to be like every other movie she does- bad. I honestly just don't even know what's going on in this picture. So I looked up the premise on imdb to see if it could help me figure it out:
An unmarried 40-year-old woman turns to a turkey baster in order to become pregnant. Seven years later, she reunites with her best friend, who has been living with a secret: he replaced her preferred sperm sample with his own.
Why is he looking at the cup like that? It's like he's disgusted even though he's going to voluntarily put his sperm in it without even being asked. And I can't even make out the expression on her face. I would say surprise maybe, but there is something off about it. Either way, this poster sucks.

I couldn't find one for Charlie St. Cloud that I could post as a picture so you will just have to go to the previous link to look at it. The tag line- Life is for living- is really fucking gay. And I don't mean in the homosexual sense, I mean in the lame sense. I'm not even going to post the plot because it doesn't even matter. No one cares.

That's all I have for now but fear not, I'm sure I'll be back with other posters I hate. These are just the ones I saw on my way to work today.
