The Rocker Poster
We have pilfered the new The Rocker poster from our friends at cinematical. Please treat yourselves to this…….
I suppose I could say a bunch about this poster, but I think the phrase “fucking sucks” is most appropriate.
Who on earth thought this was a good idea?

Well Spence, in this business you have to be quick (especially with an obvious joke like this).

Well seeing as how the movie is starring that guy… guess it should look like him.

Actually, I think the poster does have a subtle humor to it, but it’s the kind of humor that works best on more favorable/known movies/actors.
If it was a Young Steve Carrell and the movie was Get Smart, it might work better.

The audience for a film starring Rain Wilson is likely going to know who he is. I think it’s funny to see a kid who is the spitting image of one of the world’s goofiest/doofiest looking actors who has comedic chops to match his looks. It’s not the most brilliant poster I’ve ever seen, but I enjoy the irony of the tag line with the image.

I hope that he can go a little outside of “Dwight” and not fall into the stereotypical “tv-personality-that-gets-type-casted” like so many have.

This kid looks EXACTLY like I did at that age. That is hilarious.

This looks like a biopic of Gaahl from Gorgoroth. All it needs are severed lamb heads and crucified children.

Doesn’t John have a cameo in this movie?

I’m siding w/NBA kid. It might remind people of when they were that age. Also, I think Doug and the int’l friends should lighten up a bit. I see nothing wrong with the one-sheet. In fact, I thought it was funny.
