If Movie Posters Were Honest

January 13th, 2009 | 01:50 pm
We here at The Taco hate when people lie to us.  So, we like to show you what t.v. shows and ads are really saying.  But more than anything, we wish movies posters would be honest with us, so that we know what we're getting before we fork over 11 bucks.

  1. Your Mom Says:

    Aww, what, no Predator?

  2. justin Says:

    Mom, you have never watched Predator.  And anyway, I couldn't fit "SO FUCKING AWESOME LARGE GROUPS OF ETHNIC TRIBES SHOULD START WARS WITH EACH OTHER DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN OPINION ON WHICH PARTS WERE MOST AWESOME IN IT," on the poster.  Aesthetically, it wouldn't have been pleasing.

    You should be more polite when talking to your mother.

    EH?? WHAT? YOUR MOTHER HAD A PREDATOR ACTION FIGURE AS WELL.
    though she called it Charlie Chaplin and put a gearbox on it so that she could crank him and have him vibrate for hours on end.

    me and Charlie got very intamate, i'd be in the pink, Charlie like a soldier would take the stink. BOY HE'S LIKE YOUR SECOND FATHER HE WAS SO CLOSE TO US.

  14. Josh's Brother Says:

    2 hours of Whiny White Women - whilst it's true that the women were white and whiny I though the point of the movie was to advertise designer clothes?

  18. Matthew Heidenreich Says:

    These are all fantastic.

    My favorite is definitely the Life Aquatic one.

  22. Anonymous Says:

    agreed, what a sh¡t movie

  23. Anonymous Says:

    you are crazy. the acting in that movie is among the most honest of any movie i have seen.

    one of my all time favorites

  24. matyo Says:

    i agree with you man.. i love that movie.

  25. Krylun Says:

    I concur. Life Aquatic is a near perfect movie in my book. Down to the anamatronic wildlife. Sure Bill Murray is enough to pull me into the theater, but that whole cast was extraordinay.

  26. Anonymous Says:

    It may be "near perfect" but it's as boring as watching paint dry.

  27. Anonymous Says:

    Not if you enjoy stylistic character driven movies and dry humor. This was enjoyable all the way through. Not sure how you can say "near perfect" and boring at the same time--this makes no sense.

  29. Anonymous Says:

  31. Marga Says:

    completely and utterly agreed!

  32. Me-Mo Says:

    That movie SUCKED,almost as much as Royal Tannenbaums.What a waste of film,and my time.

    I like Bill Murray, but I saw the movie because Wes Anderson directed it. Enjoyed the sets, costumes, and music but the movie fell short on substance. IMO, Wes Anderson had by that point fallen into a pattern of telling the same story with the same cast over and over again... male character with talents and quirks somehow is missing out on deep family relationship, comes up with a crazy plan to reunite himself with family member, plan screwes up, one member of family probably dies, somehow characters in movie realize that the goals of bringing them together were achieved in a different way they expected. Roll credits.

  36. Steve O'Rourke Says:

    You should have inserted the word "Overprivileged" somewhere into the Sex and the City poster.

    I disagree... Transformers was an excellent movie =). Hot chicks and sick cars that turn into kick-ass robots, what more could you ask for

  38. Anonymous Says:

    I don't know... a plot? Some decent dialogue?

  39. Anonymous Says:

    You went to Transformers for plot and decent dialogue? How about going to just be entertained?

    Some movies are for plot and decent dialogue, George Lucas and Michael Bay films are not them....

  40. Anonymous Says:

    See the comment RE: Predator.

    Predator is a good action movie. The plot is simple, exciting and has dialogue to match.

    Transformers is like letting someone carve my eyeballs out.

    Maybe Megan Fox was hot in it... I have no clue as I couldn't see through all the blood.

  41. Anonymous Says:

    Really? You actually expected that from an adaptation of a cartoon that was just made to sell toys?

  42. Anonymous Says:

    You got Megan Fox.

    What more can you ask from an 80s franchise movie?

  43. ANOTHER COW Says:

    did you know megan fox is a tranny?

  44. cunt fest Says:
