Almost all of the above brought to you by me IMDB'ing Pat Morita at 2:00 AM.

"What Hot Dog: The Movie did for skiing.... oh wait"

busy? sort of. claustrophobic? hell yes. caricature? ...does photoshopping so half-arsedly and ineptly that everyone looks like a slightly melted wax figure of themself count?

the most disconcerting thing about that image is..... whose hand is on Ed Helms's shoulder? Walken? Close? Owens?

like here are 8 heads and a hand. make sense of it.

Louis "ROSCOE" QUINN

wow. can't believe i've never heard of that. i'm sure it's terrible but possibly it's fascinating.

Movie seems pretty heavy, man.

Rita, still bearing the sting of the good looking Dr. Woodal’s rejection, plans a spiteful revenge, along with her hateful brother, Grady. The romance between David and Sandy has now flowered into marriage plans. Rita and Grady learn of the wedding date. They spike the ice cream with LSD and the wedding ceremony ends in a tragic freak-out, as the guests go psychedelic, and one of the hippies, under the influence of the drug, kills himself.

Jerry, dejected, disillusions You Know by telling him his garden of “grass” is a garden of weeds.

wow yeah sounds like a serious drag. hate all those post-easy-rider "we blew it" bummer endings for the sake of bummer endings.

Least we know the Danny Masterson remake won't be happening.

lol Mick Dolenz as "YOU KNOW"

imdb'd Ann-Margret, and found she had a nice lil' run of these in the late '70s/early '80s

Iron Man christ pose is he gonna die in this

this would have been a much better poster if they'd gone full-on busy/claustrophobic caricature style and given everyone a comically over-sized head instead of just Robert Downey jnr and Don Cheadle

There’s a big Stanley Kubrick auction happening in Italy. Among the many treasures is this note requesting a print of “Hot Stuff” directed by and staring Dom Deluise. SOLD! https://t.co/9jWANoaG2A pic.twitter.com/ZWk5dscpI6

The Statue, 1971

From the claustrophobic album cover files...

https://jamesostafford.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/beatlesongs-front.jpg?w=829

The Rhino's quickly pulled original Beatlesongs lp sleeve.

This sleeve caused its share of controversy when it was released in 1982. John Lennon had been gone less than two years when this album dropped, murdered by a crazed fan named Mark David Chapman. That’s Chapman on our far left, the dude with the glasses and the buttons who is holding up one end of the banner. A totally tasteless move by Rhino, but it garnered them some free publicity.

omg wow. what an awful idea.

At first glance, I thought that might've been a Daniel Clowes illustration. (I know, the rest of the art doesn't and 1982 is too early anyway. I said FIRST GLANCE.)

But then again, I guess that MDC just naturally looks like a Clowes illustration IRL.

I was gonna day maybe it’s just a coincidence that he looks like Chapman, but look what’s behind his right foot

The vast majority of these seem to prominently feature T&A, as though this style was thought particularly well-suited to market to the 18-35 male demographic or something.
