Wrath of the muppets

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "Wrath of the Titans". This week's five points of the poster are:

1) Typically, one would expect the names of some big-time movie stars in this area of the movie poster, but there are none? Did the movie poster designer not get the memo? Did he/ she have a feud with the cast of the movie and decide to leave them all off the poster in a fit of designer rage? Usually when this happens, it means that there are no stars in the movie (After all, remember Footloose?) The mystery deepens...

2) We have a theory now to explain the missing names! We think that there were indeed the names of big-time movie stars on the poster originally, but during the course of this movie poster shoot they were all eaten by the giant, multi-headed, fire-breathing, umm.., err.., hairy thing?

3) IMAX 3D and Real D 3D?! Be still my heart, how are we ever going to be able to resist seeing the movie in both? Most of you by now probably know how we feel about using "3D" as a selling point for your movie, and as it's not 2009 we don't think it really helps. When we see "3D", what we see is, "This movie blows! Pay $20 to see imaginary stuff fly at you!". Not saying that there aren't times when "3D" does work as a selling point. The movie poster that sets the standard for the ethical use of 3D is "A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas". Movie poster designers will be studying it for years to come.

4) Further supporting our "All the big-time stars were devoured" theory, the only surviving member of the cast is shown here trying to stab the, umm, let's call it an angry muppet with a trident. Nothing wrong with wanting to kill the muppet before getting fried or eaten, but a big-time movie star would know that using the end of the trident with more "pointy things" would be more effective. It's obvious he's just one of the extras, who's now working really hard for minimum wage...

5) Remember that time in "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" when Brick Tamland stabbed a guy with a trident? LOL, we still can't see a trident and not think of that moment!

In conclusion, based on our detailed analysis of "Wrath of the Titans", we predict that it'll make $30 million during its first weekend.
