What I find mildly amusing is that this guy is judging these by 2007 standards, rather than seeing them in historical context. If we're to follow his criteria, almost everything for the last 40 years would be laughed off the map.

Worst I have ever seen: NORBIT.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Actually, the original poster ofr Hercules in new York didn't even give Schwartzenegger's real name. He was billed as "Arnold Strong" - since the other "star" of the movie was Arnold Stang, the nerdy little comedian with the squaky voice. In fact, the billint was "Starring Arnold Stang and Arnold Strong".

One ofmty favortite ridiculous posters was forthe 1970's remake of KING KONG (with Jessical Lange, Charles Groding and Jeff Bridges). It featured Kong straddling the twin towers of the World Trade Center - one foot on each tower. Given the actual distance between the towers, he would have had to have been over 150 feet tall, rather than 50.

The ALICE commentary cracked me up.

I didn't really care for a lot of PREMIERE's best picks.

Jack Black's nipples do not belong on a large poster...period.


I cannot believe I've never seen that poster of All About Eve...I LOVED those!

I can't see the pics.

The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

**scared of the visual of an army of socks, and wonders if the argyle would be the general**

Mia Farrow? Homely? Okay...

Anyways, I think the poster for Georgia Rule is worse than most of those.

I thought the same thing about Mia Farrow, broadway86.

One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...
