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.

    My fave was the transformers one. That's exactly how I feel about it and I'm sick and tired of people calling it amazing. It's basically periods of watching megan fox, mixed with periods of watchin fireworks. Do get me wrong, I like both those things, but it ain't a movie.

  3. Falstar Says:

    I surprised no one has mentioned "Cloverfield".
    When is the sequal coming out?

    Other sucestions:

    James Bond: Casino Royale = James Bond: You dont even recognise him -
    Or: 40 years of Jamesbond down the toilet -
    Or: He dosnt do anything

    Starwars Episode 3: Nothing like the original -

    ----
    I disagree about Transformers. "loud noises"? I seriusly dont get that one.. It had the best sound and music in a movie, i have heard in a long time. "no script and retarded plot"?
    It had both of them, great story.
    Seriously, i dont see Schindlers List to laugh my a.. of.
    And i dont get history lessons from Star Wars
    So enjoy a movie AS IT IS! FOCUS!

    The Transformers one is spot on! There is absolutely no story and lots of loud noises :D but I would have just called it: Ludicrous budget with no ideas.
    Spent most of the time just thinking "why did they bother programming the metal to move like a mouth?"

    Why do you watch movies you know youre not gonna like?

  8. Anonymous420 Says:

    because we hope and hope that they wont suck and then when we do see it we are pissed because they ruin the things we loved in our childhood.

    Is that Bill Murray one a real movie? I don't understand Clint Eastwood? What time did Wall-E come out? I don't get this...

  11. Anonymous Says:

    The Bill Murray is The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Its a great film.
    The Clint Eastwood is Gran Torino and the poster is a very good summation of the movie.
    And Finally Wall-E came out the beginning of June 2008.

    I somehow doubt your sobriety at this point. I also suggest that the Wall-E poster be changed to something crystal meth oriented in your honor.

    If kids movies were not secretly aimed at adults they would never get released...or produced...or comsumed. BTW Ever heard of "Hooked On Phonics" ?

    Loud noises and extincticy make for a fun fun fun movie-looking-at experiencing. Boom Boom things blowing up, and more loud noises is a wow, bud! And why were not the trees in 'The Happening' ninja trees? Then it would have been kick ass where a beech kicks out some car windows, and ninja oak trees stomp on a school bus. Woulds have been more fun. And if there had to be trees killing people with pollen, then why can't the pollen also be like psilocybin and make dying a life-enhancing experience?

    And I would like to see ninja yucca trees kick Indian Jones butt for such a lame ass movie. A lead-lined refrigerator? WTF? How....coincidental! Seriously, even a ninja creosote bush. This movie makes Baby Jesus cry.

    Thanks to you. Kaboom!!

    I have a suggestion on the Transformers poster: Let's Label This After a Cult Classic To Lure the Fans but It's Just All About Shia Lebouf and his Sexy Human Chick.

    You are right. This page and comment section was designed entirely for the high standards of only the most complex, serious and intellectual individuals. What do you consider remotely funny?

    Someone needs to lol some more.

  42. danSpain Says:

    Why you say that Indiana Jones 4 is a shit?
    This film it's exactly like the old saga (same esoteric script, same jokes, same effects, same surreal stunts...), but with russians. This is the only change. For this time, Lucas don't do the same shit that with star wars but people still thinking that he made an awfull film.

  43. Squidward Says:

    Are you either A. Insane, or B. Blind, or C. a five year old child with downs syndrome? Because other than you being monumentally without any kind of standards, those are the only logical conclusions about you that can be made.

  44. Country Breakfast Says:

    No. Just no.

  45. By the way Says:

    By the way, even if you only acknowledge the Russians being the only change you have to admit they were nowhere near as scary as the Nazis.

    I mean shit the primary enemy thought she was psychic and used a fucking sword for christ's sake.

    I actually really liked the fourth installment of indiana jones. Even so, I really enjoyed all these jokes because I accept them for what they are, jokes.

    Are you kidding! You people need to liten up.
    That's some funny stuff.

    I got another one. The movie "Burn after reading" should be renamed "Burn after watching"

  49. Anonymous Says:

    How about "Burn Before Watching"?
