A meme has been going around Facebook to post your favorite movie poster of “a great film.” It’s been a lot of fun to see all the different artwork posted by people. Figured I’d share some of them. First, I shared my favorite and then in the comments I shared the many other candidates.<\/p>\n

The one below is hanging over my bed. It is also my Twitter avatar. What does it mean. I’ll tell you what, Twitter feminist who emailed me scolding me for it: what it does NOT mean is an “endorsement” of violence against women. Lighten up.<\/p>\n

And then, many friends began adding their own favorites to the comments, including some marvelous Polish posters (and if you don’t know about the phenomenon of Polish movie posters, just Google it, fall into the inevitable Rabbit Hole of Awesome, and thank me later.)<\/p>\n

The one above caused much hilarity in the comments. This is an example of a Polish movie poster. It is the poster of The Muppet Movie<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Here is the comments thread for this particular piece of genius:<\/p>\n

Tracey<\/strong>
\nHoly God.
\nSheila O’Malley<\/strong>
\nLol
\nTracey<\/strong>
\nChildren screaming. Adults sobbing. This is all I hear.
\nSheila O’Malley <\/strong>
\nHis eyes are dead and psychopathic. Dying
\nJohn<\/strong>
\nI roll with laughter imagining the reactions to this on opening weekend. Exactly. Doesn’t quite say; “Bring the whole family!”
\nTracey<\/strong>
\nHahahahaha.
\nTracey<\/strong>
\nAnd his smile is trying to hide the fact that his eyes are dead and psychopathic. Like, “I know everyone can read my thoughts. Better smile!”
\nJohn<\/strong>
\nyeah, if your kid looks at this and gets all warm and fuzzy inside….see Polish Rosemary’s Baby poster.
\nSheila O’Malley<\/strong>
\nTracey – ha! This is Animal’s true essence
\nTracey<\/strong>
\nHA!<\/p>\n
