Fan Made: Honest Movie Posters
Filed under: Fandom, Posters, Fan Made

Did you ever wish movie posters would stop wasting our time with these flashy teaser shots of cool dudes and hot chicks and just be up front and honest with us so that no more of our time is wasted trying to determine whether this poster is fly (chill? nifty? awesome?) enough for us to actually go see the movie? Yes? No? Maybe? Who gives a sh*t? Well, the folks over at HolyTaco.com shoveled out a whole group of what they call "honest" movie posters, based on existing posters for movies we all know and (maybe) love. Like the one above for Tropic Thunder, which is re-titled Three Amigos 2, because, well, that's kinda what it's like ... only in a Vietnam-esque atmosphere. (I'm not sure whether the folks who created this one in particular know Tropic Thunder isn't set in Vietnam, but we'll roll with it anyway ...)
As always, we've pulled out a couple of our favorites for you to browse through below. Check out the rest over at HolyTaco, then let us know what you'd add to this.
[Thanks Brian]

no offense but this site is kind of stupid, not to mention mean spirited, although I'd agree with the Sex and the City poster, but still. I usually want to see a movie based on my first impressions of the trailers or other things. sometimes I just warm up to a movie and figure what the hey, and it ends up surprising me. I don't usually look at the movie posters alone for it. Sometimes, they're the icing on the cake for me wanting to see a movie but sometimes i just don't pay attention to them that much. If a person wants to see a movie just because of the movie poster and they don'tend up liking it, then its their fault. P.S.: would you please let it go about Indiana Jones 4? it wasn't that bad! And even if you do think its that bad, a. you're treating it like the late night talk show hosts treat a joke about Bill Clinton. So, ok they made a mistake, big whoop. its run its course and now its over. stop bringing it up because its getting old and you're acting immature. B. technically its your guys' fault because everyone kept asking when the next Indiana Jones movie would be made. Spielberg and Lucas were just trying to please you guys and trying to make it accurate at the same time so they had to move it to the fifties because of the time change and the movie had to be a different tone because the fifties had a different feel than the fourties so the supernatural part was more appropiate for that, Harrison Ford can still do action movie roles, and they took so long to make the movie because they couldn't agree on a good script/good idea for the movie and were busy with other projects. So overall, just please drop it because i'm getting sick of it!
