The 5 Most Unintentionally Hilarious New Movie Posters

This is really some next-level stuff. Stalingrad takes the characters' mindsets from "I'd rather be doing something else" to "I will actually do something else as the world falls apart around me, just watch." For instance, this lady is waiting for her bus to arri- hold on, is that guy playing a piano?

Columbia Pictures
"I'm Russian. Haven't we established that we don't give a fuck by now?"

Look at his face. He's clearly going "So Adrien Brody played the piano in the safety of a studio while bombs were falling all the way outside? Wow, that's so badass. No, seriously, tell me more." Also, the extended version of the poster gives us a better look at the girl in blue in the back, and it turns out she's just sitting on some luggage, looking kinda unimpressed with all the destruction.

Columbia Pictures
Or with the guy who's clearly trying to fight the fire by pissing on it.

Meanwhile, Wolverine's poster posture almost looks normal, until you realize he's not in the air.

20th Century Fox
SPOILERS for the Bollywood dance number at the end.

So ... is he just standing with one foot up? That looks less like Wolverine jumping into an attack and more like one of Hugh Jackman's Broadway characters finishing up a pirouette.

And finally, there's young hair-having Professor X doing his dramatic mind-reading stance ...

20th Century Fox
Or prepping for a really dramatic fart.

... which, when combined with his casual outfit, just looks like he's taking an important phone call.

"Goddamn paparazzi. Can't a man order cocaine and hookers in peace?"

Endless Love is a little bit closer to the mark, and almost looks normal ... until you look at the rest of the photo below. For this to make sense, it's like they arranged two beds in an L shape and decided to go from there, as if it would affect their sexual feng shui.

Universal Studios
"He hums the Tetris theme every time we make endless love."

And speaking of lying down and baffling movie poster decisions, check out the French and American posters for Jeune & Jolie (Young & Beautiful) and see if you can spot the subtle difference:

Wild Bunch
Mrs. Pitt is looking rather buff lately.

Yes, the American one cropped out a tiny portion of the dude's back, because of the different cultural sensibilities and all. In Taiwan, however, they are apparently all about the man-butt.

Wild Bunch
Or something-butt, since that is not a human neck.

Later on, The LEGO Movie realized what a smart idea it was to take tiny characters and blow them up in size for everyone. They were even kind enough to include a one-word description of things you could expect in the movie. Why, you can almost tell it's about block people!

Warner Bros.
"PRODUCTPLACEMENT"

And yet it was that hashtag at the bottom that was the final bit of inspiration for the folks at How to Train Your Dragon 2. They took one look at that and collectively determined, "What's another obnoxious Internet thing? Oh, right. Selfies." Because the world needs more of these:

DreamWorks Animation
How is the "They ride fucking dragons!" part not the main selling point here?

Why is she bent over like that? Are the horns really that heavy? Or is this just a result of Angelina Jolie's spinal column starting to finally age? We can only imagine that she was bent over picking something up, and the poster designers startled her.

No, wait, she's twerking?

The other possibility is that maybe the photographers had the angle wrong. She was standing up straight the whole time, and some moron intern just didn't know how to hold a camera.

This is more of a "Take the picture already, I have 3,742 adopted kids to pick up from school" pose.

Wait, no, we've got it! She was practicing her swing! Those magical forests are the best training grounds for the Masters.

We'd be all over a Caddyshack/Maleficent crossover, provided Bill Murray was down.
