7. Giovanni Ribisi in "Gangster Squad"
Technically a 2013 movie (though not when the poster was released), we nevertheless thought we should include this one. Partly because in its inherent pointlessness, it was the inspiration for this whole feature. And partly because it's a poster starring Phoebe's brother from "
Friends." Points deducted both because it doesn't even feature him doing something cool with a gun like his costars, and for relegating the ever-awesome
Anthony Mackie to background status.

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.
