Two-man wolfpack


This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie". This week's five points of the poster are:

1) We can't be sure, but this might be the first tandem animal ride since the inspired cheetah ride in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. This wolf ride appears to be a tip-of-the-hat to that legendary moment in cinema, H & K fans everywhere will appreciate this thoughtful gesture. Some might even be touched enough to see this movie. It's always hard to know what they might do as they stuff themselves with White Castle burgers...

2) Do their heads seem unnaturally big for their bodies? They kinda look like bobbleheads. I would like to say they look familiar, but they don't. One would think that if they had a billion dollars to spend on this movie that they would look familiar, hmm... Nice to see they were able to us their incredible wealth to get a 2-for-1 deal on their khakis.

3) Wait, are these the guys from Flight of the Conchords? Doesn't the one in the blue shirt look like the guy with the sideburns? I think we might just have something here, they too have abnormally large heads, as seen on the cover of their DVD.

4) It wasn't immediately clear what this patch of grass was supposed to represent, and why would one need a wolf to run over it? Now that we've been able to identify the two main characters in the movie poster, it's clear that this is New Zealand drawn to scale! It would also appear that they have included a picture of every single resident of New Zealand. Kiwis are a fun bunch, I'm glad they made it into this movie poster.

5) Attention movie poster designers: When a movie poster calls for the appearance of an animal, it is usually good to use one that doesn't have rabies. (A general rule of thumb is not to use animals or actors that are foaming at the mouth.)

In conclusion, based on this thorough analysis we predict that "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" will gross $7.9 million during its opening weekend.
