THIS WEEK IN POSTERS: I promised you guys last week that I’d get this feature onto a regular schedule, and it’s Tuesday afternoon, so so far so good. This week we’ve got Battleship, Friends with Kids, that one where the guy from 2 Live Crew bangs naked zombies, and I try not to burst an O-ring over a new batch from The Iron Lady. Enjoy!

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter – Yes, this project continues to be ever so cute. But ever since I saw Bill Murray shirtless in madras pants holding an axe and a bottle of wine in the Moonrise Kingdom trailer, every other axe wielder pales in comparison. Sorry, Abe.

Today brings us (thanks to IMPA) a new poster for the Will Ferrell-and-Adam-McKay-produced Spanglish comedy, Casa De Mi Padre. They promise it will be “The funniest movie you’ll ever read,” which is a bold statement, considering Schindler’s List also had subtitles (*slide whistle, banana peel*). Anyway, I just checked my sweatpants, and yup, I’ve still got a big boner for this. Though I confess, I’m probably the ideal audience. My stepdad is Mexican, and my high school was 70-some percent Mexican, so I feel like I know all of their secrets. I’m basically the Mexican whisperer. And there are few things I’d enjoy more than Will Ferrell mocki– er, celebrating their culture for 90 minutes.

Casa De Mi Padre opens March 16th, which leaves plenty of time to add in more Cholombian sideburns. (It already has pointy boots, thankfully).

I’m sick of these movies coming out with new trailers on Friday afternoon. That’s daddy’s “wanking and crying” time! Anyway, I cleaned the lotion off my hands just long enough to post this new trailer and posters for Casa De Mi Padre, the Spanish-language comedy from Gary Sanchez productions opening in March. It’s about as funny as you would imagine (Will Ferrell speaking broken Spanish in a faux-telenovela is about as close to a golden concept as you’re going to get), and it’s got Ron Swanson, every internet dork’s newest boyfriend (not that I’m disagreeing). My only criticisms are, in order of importance:

• NO DANNY TREJO?!?! ARE JU KEEDEEN ME, PUTO?

• Nice job on the pointy boots, but needs more Cholombian Sideburns

IGN just debuted a new pair of posters (full versions below) for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the adaptation of the book by Seth Grahame-Smith (the guy who wrote Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and War and Peace and Lesbians or whatever) from Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov (the hardest working Kazakhstani in Hollywood).

Scheduled to hit theaters on June 22, 2012, stars Benjamin Walker [as Lincoln], Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jimmi Simpson, Robin McLeavy, Alan Tudyk and Rufus Sewell. [IGN]

People seem pretty excited about Prometheus, I assume because of the idea that it’s some kind of prequel to Alien with Ridley Scott directing, and I guess I can get onboard with that, as long as I try to forget that last horrible movie Ridley Scott directed. Damon Lindelof wrote the script with Jon Spaihts, and if there’s anything Lindelof and Scott’s last movies (Cowboys and Aliens and Robin Hood, respectively) have in common, it’s that they were boldly nonsensical. On the plus side, yay, Stringer Bell! (click through for the full sized poster)
