Granted, it's been a while since I've seen the first one, but I do recall Alfred having a lot more screen time than Lucius.

The "And" credit on a poster usually goes to the actor who's the biggest star in a supporting-yet-important role...so having "And" is much more prestigious than being the last guy before "And". It's really quite impressive! I've lived my whole life wanting to be the "And" guy on a movie cast!*

Dude, that poster looks awesome, why do you guys diss this movie? all it is trying to do is entertain, you know, like movies are supposed to

I certainly wouldn't speak for the bratty one, but last time I checked this was the RIFFTRAX forum. A certain amount of wryness or sarcasm is to be expected, no? I never said I didn't LIKE the poster - I was just pointing out the weirdness of having so many names at the bottom, all in the same size font. Usually they pick one or two "starship" names to carry the poster, and the other names are relegated to the fine print where they belong.

I'm picturing a bunch of actors sitting around a big round table with their agents in tow, screaming obscenities at the director and demanding their fair share, like some kind of meeting of the 7 families. ;)

I'm sorry I didn't mean the poster, just pretty much everything that went up in this forum was shot at, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious, I could say the same thing about the new James Bond film

what I mean to say is,
"I still haven't figured out these 'Forum' things yet"

Wow... I never realized that "The Rest" from Gilligan's Island was a real person, and the biggest supporting actor to boot. ;)

Well, he did fade into obscurity after the show was canceled. But he did manage to get a lot of work on children's shows after changing his name to "Friends"..."Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends", "Barney and Friends", etc.

It just sucks that he never got the screen time he deserved, eventually they just changed the theme to "The Professor and Mary Ann" so they'd stop getting people's hopes up about the scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor.

Don't be so touchy. Even if you're totally looking forward to this movie (I am), and you think the poster's great (I do) doesn't mean you can't have some fun with it.

again, not really talking about the poster, just the thread in general, sorry, it wasn't meant to be touchy, just a question

I like the first and third of those posters a lot.

You know it's funny.. with these sunglasses I'm wearing, those posters just say, "COLLECT THEM ALL! CONSUME! OBEY!"

I think the cycle one would have worked better if they hadn't had him looking down at the "camera."
