Whoopee.

Too little, too late.
Is there naked old lady in the bathtub? by WONKABAR	May 24th, 2007 09:42:27 PM
oops, wrong room-number
Hope they keep this for the DVD cover by Captain Mal	May 24th, 2007 09:44:08 PM
It'll blend right in with the other 7 out of 10 movies featuring the same cover.
Don't 'SAY ANYTHING' about "SNAKES ON A PLANE" by Darth_Baltar	May 24th, 2007 09:44:49 PM
both were instant classics, so how can this miss??? ...yea right
Nothing to be... by go4thegusto	May 24th, 2007 09:45:18 PM
excited about!!!
Isn't Sam Jackson in the movie for only 10 minutes... by tylerzero	May 24th, 2007 09:46:22 PM
...or something to that effect? Muthafucka gets top billing.

13. scary.
DARK KNIGHT TRAILER? by wallywest74	May 24th, 2007 09:54:09 PM
Hey Harry WTF? What was up with that teaser? Fake?
Eh, not a cool poster by jimmy_009	May 24th, 2007 09:55:01 PM
I guess there's no such thing as originality anymore.
This reminds me of ROBIN HOOD : PRINCE OF THIEVES by mrsinister7381	May 24th, 2007 10:03:41 PM
when Sean Connery gets top billing for literally 5 minutes of screen time. I hope Sam the Man is more of a force in this than what early reviews have been saying. I hates me that false advertising bullshit. Looking forward to this nonetheless.
"Based on the terrifying story by Stephen King" by Doctor_Sin	May 24th, 2007 10:06:16 PM
As opposed to the lighthearted, whimsical romp by Stephen King.
I actually like that poster. by misnomer	May 24th, 2007 10:07:51 PM
I actually like that poster. I mean, what else could it be? Kind of harkens back to 80's horror. I like it-reminds me of the original lost boys cover for some reason.
Extreme Measures by Bungion Boy	May 24th, 2007 10:22:05 PM
Or any other poster with two stars sporting a half-face, side by side. Why is Sam even on the poster? From everything I've read he practically just has a cameo in this. Is Cusack not a bankable enough lead? And it's not like Sam Jackson has been box office gold in recent years.
Fucking say what you will about SNAKES by ImFixingtoDie	May 24th, 2007 10:23:27 PM
but SAY ANYTHING is a classic.
Boring as shit by Osmosis Jones	May 24th, 2007 10:24:48 PM
Giant heads cut off by the margins and bisected with a pointy object in the middle of the image. Totally unimaginative shite.
1+4+0+8= by Bungion Boy	May 24th, 2007 10:27:56 PM
23. That's even scarier.
i just want to see that lurid orange light .. by nolan bautista	May 24th, 2007 10:28:17 PM
..described so vividly in the book. Read the short story so you know what im talking about..
I was thinking Seven... by jimmy_009	May 24th, 2007 10:33:21 PM
with the yellow and red and obligatory horror/serial killer movie poster 'grime' layer.
John Cusack IS Shia Lebouf. by BeeDub	May 24th, 2007 10:59:02 PM
You know it to be true.
I kinda like it actually. by jrbarker	May 24th, 2007 11:05:50 PM
It's floating heads again, but it is well designed.
What's with the writers and director being so big? by Not The Messiah	May 24th, 2007 11:23:58 PM
Plus the fact they're included in block of text, then repeated in big ass font. Average Joe doesn't give two shites who wrote this.
I DIG by The Real MiraJeff	May 24th, 2007 11:24:41 PM
the poster. Love the tagline and like the mood it projects. And even though it doesn't look that great, it's nice to see some screenwriters get their due on a poster. I'm looking forward to this one. God knows they could both use a hit after Must Love Dogs on a Plane.
Looks like a DEPARTED rip off by J-Dizzle	May 24th, 2007 11:37:11 PM
Looks pretty good.
Ominous and spooky by LoneGun	May 24th, 2007 11:41:48 PM
I like it.
Lloyd by blackhole4140	May 24th, 2007 11:41:56 PM
Why does Cusack appear to be 16 years old in this poster?
I like it too... by The Eskimo	May 24th, 2007 11:46:17 PM
You know, this is a cover design you might see for a B horror movie...but the fact that its Cusak and Jackson (two pretty big names) makes it relelvant. I like it!
Ebony, and Ivory... by googamooga	May 25th, 2007 12:05:48 AM
Bleh, kinda boring IMO...
When did that assclown MiraJeff get a black box? by Daddylonghead	May 25th, 2007 12:11:57 AM
Gimme a break
Is this PG-13? by Motoko Kusanagi	May 25th, 2007 12:27:42 AM
If yes, I boycott. As all the other teenie PG-13 bullshit.
MUTHAFUCKA!!!!!!!! by Doc_Strange	May 25th, 2007 12:52:06 AM
You know that's what Jackson's thinking in this poster.
i wondered what ever happened to John Cusak. by Boomers_Lips	May 25th, 2007 01:09:25 AM
i guess he was in obscurity making this movie.
Is this one of these confusing films? by DerLanghaarige	May 25th, 2007 01:54:20 AM

I HAVE HAD IT!.... by Darth Melkor	May 25th, 2007 02:09:14 AM
with these motherfuckin' ghosts in this motherfuckin' hotel room! :P
A by Kragmose	May 25th, 2007 02:10:05 AM
Whole movie set in a room. Bleh..
Is this that movie where... by Doctor_Sin	May 25th, 2007 02:26:44 AM
The white racist has to share a body with a Black football player as a two-headed monster? Oh, sorry. The poster had me confused. Reminded me of the "Thing With Two Heads".
How come the writers by pitti71	May 25th, 2007 02:58:23 AM
and the director are mentioned again. are they that famous ? and dont we get it the first time around.... looking forward!"
Hotel Dolphin = Hotel Delfino? by Some Dude	May 25th, 2007 03:36:44 AM
Never noticed that before. Too tired to check out which came first. Either way, hats off to King or hats off to Miyamoto's localization team or hats off to coincidence.
It's a good thing by Dingbatty	May 25th, 2007 03:56:08 AM
that hotel doesn't use card keys. That would've really made this look dull.
writers by AllieJamison	May 25th, 2007 03:57:05 AM
who are the writers to get that kind of big font love? it's nice to see that though.
thats a good poster... by Seph_J	May 25th, 2007 04:03:45 AM
...i like it
Cusack Looks A Little "Femme" by HostileOrganismX	May 25th, 2007 04:52:11 AM
I guess that makes Sam Jackson the male lead.

"I told you not to stay into 1408!" by lost.rules	May 25th, 2007 06:47:46 AM
Looking forward to this one. It looks like a Twilight Zone episode. One of the good ones.
This movie looks terrible by Spandau Belly	May 25th, 2007 07:02:41 AM
It just looks like endless "freaky" sequences. Sorta like that movie What Dreams May Come, where any one scene is beautiful and interesting but as a whole it's hallow.
Hope by zeromouth	May 25th, 2007 07:21:22 AM
I just hope it doesn't turn out wasted like Vacancy.
Boring... by Surround Sound	May 25th, 2007 07:45:25 AM
Sam Jackson doesn't impress me anymore unless he happens to be in Pulp Fiction 2: The Prequel. Second, I'm no fan of John Cusack at all. Although the Stephen King story intrigues me.

The Negotiator 2: Talk Your Way Out of This, Bitch by Reynard Muldrake	May 25th, 2007 10:50:57 AM
Or rather, this poster looks like one of those 24 movies Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd made together about serial killers. But the trailer did freak me out a good bit...glad Cusack gave up the mix tapes when his jowls formed.
ARGENTO's Mother, Of Tears - is more interesting... by Cult Exiter	May 25th, 2007 04:05:47 PM
Stephen King was.
what book by rdsxfan8	May 26th, 2007 09:37:08 AM
is this short story in? I just finished reading "the cell" and really luvs me some king so Ill def check out the book this story is in. anyone know if Eli Roth is still slated to be possibly directing the movie version of the "cell". read it somewhere abotu a month ago but havent heard anything new about that one. maybe after hes done whoring himself out over hostel II something will be said about this one, who knows. I like some of the king movie adaptions but some are just. Also does anyone know if "the golden yrs" is on DVD? I remember seeing it on tv when it aired but havent seen it anywhere on dvd.
Let me get this straight... by moondoggy2u	May 27th, 2007 12:04:18 PM
The only movies that have sported the Exploitation Poster and tone in the past couple of years (Grindhouse and Snakes on a Plane) have bombed horribly ........................and Quint STILL wants more of the same? No wonder geeks are the minority...
Though I dont want a film version... by moondoggy2u	May 27th, 2007 12:07:14 PM
I still say that Lisey's Story was King's best in years. True, the climax seemed ripped from Rose Madder (a very, very horrible book), the rest of the story was very well written indeed.
