that looks like the poster for a summer camp comedy.

I'm seriously fucking haunted by Fraser's freakish melon in that poster.

I always get really mad when they center the names over/under pictures of actors, but they don't match up. This seems to happen a lot- I'll try to find an example but I can't remember any off hand.

This doesn't represent what the film's about at all. Most people would think it was a cheesy romance of some sort.

Mike Judge hated it and said it was a big reason the film was a commercial failure.

Yep, makes it look really cheap. Great film though.

I remember kids on my bus going to see The Big Green and reporting back the disappointing news that, while the trailer might be taken to suggest the kids played on a magic field that warped through time to pit them against bloodthirsty Vikings, in fact the Viking sequence is merely a view into the kids' imaginations as they face a challenging rival team.
