3. The entire cast of 'Breaking Dawn Part 2'
Given the fervent fanbase, it's perhaps not entirely surprising that every single person with a speaking role in the final '
Twilight' seemed to get their own character poster. Every one of them was deathly dull, but particular scorn should be given to these two, featuring
Patrick Brennan and
Marlane Barnes as Irish vampires Liam and Maggie. Not only were their parts minuscule (they're listed 36th and 38th in the credits, respectively), but they're also dressed like extras from
John Huston's "
The Dead." Memo to costume designer
Michael Wilkinson: Irish people no longer dress like that, even if they are undead.

Maybe I'm being completely dense about this, but in what way was Pitch Perfect's poster offensive towards Asians? I mean, I get the snark in the rest of the article, but that one seemed like a stretch.

I'm from Boston. Irish people still dress like that, especially if they're dead.

Seriously, why does everybody completely lose their shit whenever there's a facetious/snarky piece up here? It's not as though it comes at the expense of actual movie news. This is why we can't have nice things.
(I thought this was hilarious, and would like to see more stuff like this.)

The Cloud Atlas poster is borderline disturbing, perhaps if your a darkly cynical, pessimistic necrophiliac.

Mr. Oliver, you are a moron.

Completely idiotic article, how old the author is? Toshiaki in Frankenweenie was deeply offensive? Are you serious?

were any of these actually displayed in a theater or was their sole purpose to serve as fodder for the "collect em all" types? either way, they promote the films, and thanks to this article, playlist has now given them the opportunity to do just that.

That's actually Thomas Ian Nicholas on the American Reunion poster.

That's Marc-André Grondin on Goon poster. Not Jean-Marc Vallée.^^

The least important Playlist article ever.

One per page? You guys are ridiculous. Also, what a terrible article.
