Kicking off this week's This Week in Posters and Stills, here's the latest poster for Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond film, directed by Sam Mendes, starring Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem, opening November 9th. If you weren't already thrilled for this latest Bond movie... I doubt this poster is going to change your mind.

This still is from a Chinese film called Inseperable, starring Kevin Spacey. I don't need any context to say this with confidence: I will see this movie. Fingerless dish gloves? Genius.
Question: Have the Broken Lizard guys finally squandered all the good will left over from Super Troopers?
Bigger Question: Why doesn't Paul Schneider have any armpit hair?
I believe the full tagline is "Be yourself and you can be anything. Especially if your boobs are big."
If sensitive robot Fassbender hasn't convinced you to see this movie, what about BIG F*CKIN' 'SPLOSIONS?! Come git some, Middle 'Murica! Aliens! PEW! PEW!
I feel like there should be at least more explosion sounds in the national anthem.
Here's a Django Unchained banner from Cannes. Probably not the most thrilling thing in the world, I realize. Also, is there a store called "ferret?" Why is there a store called "ferret?"

Okay, okay, so this one technically isn't a movie poster, but god damn, how awesome is that? Do you realize what this is? This is what that War Horse was fighting for.

Aw, well aren't you cute, Bill Murray and Wes Anderson. "Hey, who put boy clothes on that fancy lady?" I bet people are wondering. Also, I saw Moonrise Kingdom yesterday, and if you think there's an excessive amount of plaid in this picture, wait till you see the movie.

Here's an Asian character poster for Rhys Ifans as the Lizard Man in Amazing Spider-Man. This movie seems like it's probably going to suck, but this was perfect casting.
"The untold story begins." Well congratulations on being able to combine two taglines into one even shittier one. First of all, if you tell me a story about how something begins, like, say, Spider-Man, then I go back ten years later and tell another story about how Spider-Man begins and it's kind of the same but different? I'm pretty sure that's not an "untold story." That's a re-told story.
Now THIS is a good poster. Focus on a cool detail, no stupid diagonals, no floating heads, no mis-matched faces and names. AND they didn't include their dumb taglines so we didn't have to think stuff like "I'm pretty sure 'he has webshooters this time' isn't an untold story."

And here's a nice piece of shit. Let's see... pointlessly diagonal title, high-contrast rain, black, white and red color scheme, slutty red lips and cigarette smoke... how many more Frank Miller clichés could we squeeze in there? Also, not that I had much interest in a Sin City sequel to begin with, but now that I know Frank Miller is a full-on co-director, I can safely say that I'll be avoiding this like a syphilitic telemarketer.
Yes, David Cronenberg has a son, Brandon, who's also a filmmaker. I have no idea whether his movies will be anything like his dad's. The only father/child directing teams I can think of are Sofia Coppola/Francis Ford Coppola and Ivan Reitman/Jason Reitman, and neither of those children seem to direct much like their fathers.
Another one from Antiviral. Come on, man, you can't just inject it into her while she's blindfolded, that's cheating. You gotta slip it into her drink when she's not looking, that's the challenge.
Here's Shia LaBeouf looking extra fancy in The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman.
Charlie Countryman (LaBeouf) was just a normal guy...until he fell in love with the one girl who will probably get him killed. When Charlie meets the absolutely irresistible Gabi she’s already been claimed by Nigel, an insanely violent crime boss with a gang of thugs at his disposal. Armed with little more than his wit and naïve charm, Charlie endures one bruising beat down after another to woo Gabi and keep her out of harm’s way. Finally his exploits of blind valor create such a mess that he’s left with only one way out; to save the girl of his dreams, must Charlie Countryman die? [ThePlaylist]
Huh, okay. You know you can't bang chicks when you're dead, right, Charlie Countryman? Mostly what I got out of that was that this was that this hairstyle may not have been for a movie:
Ben Kingsley in a poster that looks and sounds like a Steven Seagal poster? Oh, yes, please. I would LOVE to watch Special K go rogue and start flipping out on people, Falling Down-style. I bet he'd even make a fancy speech afterwards. Count me in.
Bitch, what are you looking at? The camera's over here.
I wonder if those leather pants are standard issue for sexy army intelligence experts, or whatever she's playing.
I'm guessing that line going through the "good" means that he'll be neither good, nor will he do no harm.
This from a new batch of stills from the Total Recall remake. I think the message here is, "Yes, we're raping a classic, but look how pretty they are!"
If I had to touch butts with Jessica Biel like that all day, I'd probably have to gaffer-tape my wiener down. Just sayin.
Here's another still from Inseparable, which does not lessen my desire to see it. That's just a badass roof garden right there.
It's really hard not to think of Harold and Kumar here. It's okay, we were all thinking it. This is a documentary, so the similarity was probably largely unavoidable, but still, that's unfortunate.
Between this and the Sin City 2 poster, Robert Rodriguez's poster designer must really be working over time. Don't overthink it, man, just put the logo over a wall and call it a day! Take the rest of the day off! You deserve some me time.
I think a good strategy for this would be to stick an apostrophe in there and trick the kids into thinking Neil Young was in Journey.
Remember when the leader guy in Third Rock from the Sun was called "The Big Giant Head?" ...No? Just me then? Oh come on! It had Joseph Gordon-Levitt AND John Lithgow in it! Screw you guys, that was a good show.
I like the poster design a lot, but it seems like every indie comedy for the last ten years has been pimping a connection or a comparison to Little Miss Sunshine.
Here's Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh on the set of Hitchcock. I look forward to her not having to explain about Hydra weapons and reversing the polarity in this one. Then again, unless The Hulk shows up in the third act, I'm probably not going to see it anyway.
Pretty basic (but effective) poster for Ted, Seth MacFarlane's animated teddy bear movie (trailer here). I don't know, I'm cautiously optimistic for this one. They even lined up the names with the faces in the poster! Great job, everyone!
"Hey, beah, come help me eat this gook food I stole awff an awriental."
I like how those flashlights are aimed right at her butt and boobs. Not that I blame them. P Diddy knows what I'm talking about.
Here's Scarlett Johansson again on the set of Under the Skin. Don't worry, this one sounds sexy.
An adaptation of Michael Faber‘s novel, the intriguing premise tells the story of Isserley, an alien on earth disguised as an attractive woman (ScarJo) who uses her voracious sexuality to scour remote highways and desolate scenery to snare human prey. There is a lot more to the premise which we won’t ruin here, but needless to say it builds to a dark ending, with political and environmental themes peppered throughout. The material gives plenty of room for Glazer to employ his keen visual eye and sense of pace and tone and we’re pretty thrilled to see what he does here with source material that upends expectations of a sexual thriller. [The Playlist]
I hope she's naked the entire time like Species. Man, do I have fond memories of Species. These kids today with their internet stump porn, they'll never understand the appeal of something like Species.
So Michel Gondry has a new movie coming out, which seems like as good a time as any to remind you that Michel Gondry drew me a tranny one time.
Never forget.
And finally, last but not least, here's Will Smith goofing around while promoting Men in Black 3. Hey, is that Will Smith or DJ Spazzy Jeff!? Whackety Schmackety.
Much as I hate Will Smith and his dumb wiener kids, even I have to admit that he's one of the more athletic actors around. Of course, that's not going to stop me from using this in Photoshops for years to come.

Awww, how sweet. Bill Murray is on a date with Tilda Swinton.
Everybody: “Wes Anderson could not get any more twee.”
Anderson’s Hairstylist: “Challenge accepted.”
Can ya blame Ms. Palicki for checking herself out in Bruce Willis’s mirror-like dome?
Madras on plaid on plaid? It’s like preppy fashion Inception.
COTW and shes cute to boot. Do you come here often?
Of course I remember Shatner. Who doesn’t remember Shatner? And why no mention of French Stewart? He’s had great success since 3rd Rock. He was on an episode of Psych!
He was in an episode of Community earlier this season. Barely recognized him with his eyes open.
Mark Brandanoquits
So James Bond is walking into…a rifle sight? We sure they didn’t do “Ant-Man” after all?
#8…I didn’t know my Aunt Judy knew Bill Murray? How exciting.
#13. I said it before, I’ll say it again. WTF is his web line supposed to be attached to?
The moon, dumbass.
Number 29, Prometheus: What the hell is “De Bioscoop” and can I get two in tutti frutti?
Did anyone else take a look at Chris Pine, see the title of “People Like Us” and instantly assume it was about men with learning disabilities?
Chris Pine’s head is so big he looks like a little person.
I’ve seen bigger heads, but then, I grew up on Easter Island.
Where the hell is he hooking his web to? A fucking airplane?
It’s been bugging me, but I KNEW I’d seen this referenced before elsewhere.
The World Trade Cen–
-tipede
–taur
A zeppelin, dumbass.
Will “Part of Me” outgross LOL? And should I be embarrassed that I’d bang my way through an iron lung to do Katy Perry?
The National Anthem already has bombs bursting in air. Take that, Hatikva.
Frank Miller was a co-director of the first Sin City. Fun fact: I loved that movie when it came out (I was 20) and upon watching it recently, I found it nearly unwatchable. Huh.
I believe Jessica is being surveilled by the the SWAT-that-@$$ team.
” they’ll never understand the appeal of something like Species.” amen brother.
I saw that movie before I had access to any sort of porn so it definitely was a god send.
Recount, Horrible Bosses and Margin Call were the shit, but Spacey had a loooooong drought after L.A. Confidential (I hated American Beauty. Fuck an Oscar.) K-Pax is a war crime.
Far be it from me to criticize someone for dressing like a teenage slut, but Katy Perry is fast becoming the 33 year old stripper with a C-section scar that still dresses like a Catholic schoolgirl. So she’s the girl of my dreams is what I’m saying.
I think a good strategy for this would be to stick an apostrophe in there after the J and trick the kids into thinking Neil Young was black.
I recently found out that Jason Reitman has two sisters that are like z-list actresses. I bet Thanksgiving at the Reitman house is AWKWARD. “I made ‘Stripes’ and ‘Ghostbusters’ and your brother has 4 Oscar nominations. What have you two done?”
Oooooooooooooh man, Inseparable is already my favorite movie ever. Got to slide 24 and just blurt out “Sp-Sp-Spacey tracksuit leaning!”
How bad was the guy at photoshop that put the faces on those bodies in the Baby Makers?
The secret of the Wings was to keep LInda McCartney’s microphone out of the board mix.

Why is there a store called “ferret?”
The real question is: Why isn’t there a store called “Capybara”?
#19 – Saw this before – the amazing “Harry Brown,” with an equally British actor from the UK.
#22 – “Total Recall” is a “classic?” Raping an entertaining corpse is one thing. Raping an embalmed and perfectly preserved one that appears incorrupt (say, a real classic, like “Bridge on the River Kwai” or – and I know a LOT of people will hate this one – “Lawrence of Arabia”) is another. One is a dried out, desiccated attempt to capture an action picture in a thinking man’s original story, the other is a corpse.
I counter with:
Three breasted hooker – classic
Sharon Stone getting shot in the face – classic
Kuato – classic
Ahnuld pulling a large ball through his nose – classic
Patrick, while your response is perfectly nonsensical, you are clearly wrong.
The “Machete Kills” poster may be really plain, but it has everything it needs to get me to see the movie. Sofia Vergara? I’m in!
The fact that anyone besides his parents know that Shia La ButtFuck exists is one of the 5 signs of the apocalypse.
And how did his sister from Even Stevens not make it big? She was hot. I know she got naked in that one movie. There used to be pics of her and a bunch of her friends topless on a camping trip floating around the interwebs. Good times brah.
And that Big Giant Head turned out to be William Shatner, if I remember correctly. That was a good show.
THANKS AGAIN DUUUDE always cool to see mah photer chops on here! makes me want to spend 80 dollars a monf on afghany interwebs just so I can do more. I miss it :/ stupid MWR needs to get some photoshop
Since I am not stupid or a tool, I am not at all excited about another Quintin Tarantino mashup of scenes he stole from better movies.
