Poster Review: The Dilemma

Nothing especially remarkable or ground-breaking about this one. Apparently having Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, and "A New Comedy From Ron Howard" has been deemed enough information to determine that this is a comedy. What's it about? Well, it's a dilemma! Vaughn! James! Bringing the funny! Don't you get it? It's going to be FUNNY!

The positioning of the title indicates that there's something that's come between these two funny men. The "The" in the title is a little bit designed, with how it breaks the line of Vaughn's shoulder, but is otherwise unremarkable. At least it's not Gill Sans or Futura Extra Bold (comedy poster staples).

All in all, very unremarkable. What's awesome about this, though, is that the studio approved an illustrated poster for a live action comedy. Bravo!

Clay and Adam are a couple of dorks.

But I certainly had nothing to do with this monstosity. Or did I?

Blackout

The jury did not believe that Lil' Kim's sunglasses kept her from noticing that it was her friends who were shooting people outside the Hot 97 radio station. Apparently she misplaced the manual for her Joo Janta 200 Peril-Sensitive Sunglasses™. The jury, having not personally experienced the usefulness of having sunglasses that turn progressively black in the presence of danger, thought she was just a liar. Zaphod could have told them that a person wearing such sunglasses would definitely not seen anyone shooting anyone else under any circumstances. The interesting thing about the above article is not that Lil' Kim is the first female rap star to go to prison, but that this radio station is the place where rap entourages go to have shootouts. "Hot 97 is the same station where the posses of 50 Cent and The Game traded bullets last month." Hot 97 is the new OK Corral! We may have just found a career for Latigo that would make good use of his skills. He just

How to write like a gossip columnist

Anyone can do it! Just keep in mind to never use your source's name, and always play up a celebrity's reaction to something using the following words: Blast Slam Fuming Here's an example: "Latigo Flint blasted reports that his guns do not actually fire live ammunition." Use them in combination!: "Gil slammed fellow carnie Sal's insinuation that he got a bit too personal with a badger. "It was cold and he wasn't even there!" the one-eyed Whack 'em Cats operator fumed." That's right, kiddies. Anyone can write a gossip column. And with the internet, anyone can publish it, too! p.s. Don't forget to put a salacious slant on everything. And blow things out of proportion, too. In fact, you may want to change your middle name to that.
