  • SportsAnna, on 08/19/2008, -2/+25I'm of the opinion that Jason Bateman on the Hancock poster would have made it better. Michael Bluth makes EVERYTHING better.
    • acmaurer, on 08/19/2008, -0/+6I'm personally a huge GOB fan. He's the one man who looks good on a segway!
    • josephbloseph, on 08/21/2008, -0/+0How awesome was it that he was married to that MRF in the movie?
  • nikothefinn, on 08/19/2008, -1/+30I don't think they put much effort into this list - Jessica Alba's eye is awesome with that hand crawling out of it! What about College Road Trip (Martin Lawrence and a pig in the front seats of a car)? What about Made of Honor (Patrick Dempsey looking like Patrick Dempsey)? What about Meet Dave (Eddi Murphy inside Eddie Murphy with the names Eddie Murphy and Eddie Murphy all on the same poster)?
  • jcgreenx, on 08/19/2008, -4/+7The Eye poster is pretty cool, but it's way creepy.
  • chamblah, on 08/19/2008, -1/+25how hard is it to put them all on one page?
    • georgemason01, on 08/19/2008, -0/+6I am guessing that websites do this so when the user navigates to each page, their overall traffic numbers rise and thus their site seems more popular and they can make more off advertising. Maybe I'm wrong. Either way, submission buried.
    • borez, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1Look they've even got a little pull down menu that does exactly the same thing...for that double bonus of bollocks web design that rounds off the experience rather nicely.
  • NuttyVirus, on 08/19/2008, -1/+5They couldnt just put them all on one page could they.
  • nullx42, on 08/19/2008, -0/+8Wheres "What happens in Vegas?" That poster makes Ashton Kutcher look like he has downs:

  • brincatmark, on 08/19/2008, -12/+2obama rulez, twitter and mc cain suck, ***** RIAA, om nom nom nom
  • CoMpUtErITGuY, on 08/19/2008, -1/+13The Hancock poster looks fine. I'm sure there are worse ones that came out. What about "The Hottie and the Nottie?" http://www.impawards.com/2008/hottie_and_the_notti ...
    • asnider, on 08/19/2008, -0/+5Until I clicked that link, I didn't realize this movie existed, and I was quite happy with that. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss, and you've ruined that for me.
  • WimpBoy, on 08/19/2008, -0/+5Im sick of people formatting pages like this.

    It's not hard!
  • elitedw, on 08/19/2008, -0/+16Fail... I think the toilet represents college very well
    • TimDigg, on 08/19/2008, -0/+4Naw, in college I was too drunk to even find a toilet...
  • Wiini, on 08/19/2008, -0/+5This is a pretty retarded Digg article. Based on the website, I wouldn't say the critic has the best eye for beauty.
  • oinyo, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3What is with the new fad of 1 pix a screen? Come on now...
  • floridiot2, on 08/19/2008, -2/+6***** thing sucks.
  • Zandarrr, on 08/19/2008, -0/+8Buried for being incredibly lame.
  • borez, on 08/19/2008, -1/+6When I think of Hancock, I see the poster in my head. Therefore IMO it's a damn good bit of graphic design that serves it's purpose well.
  • TheTaoOfBill, on 08/19/2008, -0/+4This is pretty lame.

    Great concept but a total lack of effort is what won this article a bury.
  • mmdieterich, on 08/19/2008, -0/+4So instead of the article being about the design of the poster and why it is good or bad, it's an opinion of the movie based on the poster..lame. Most of the posters are fine designs for what they are.
  • gubatron2, on 08/19/2008, -0/+7The eye's poster was actually pretty cool, so was hancock's. Buried for being a lame list.
  • evan3168, on 08/19/2008, -0/+4the reasons for the these posters being bad are horrible. "why is it bad: do you need to ask?" umm, yes, youre the one making the list, not me. maybe Beverly Hills Chihuahua will be a bad movie, but that doesnt make the poster bad.
  • Nicoon, on 08/19/2008, -0/+2Eh. This didn't really give any real motivations to why they sucked.
  • heeheeshabutie, on 08/19/2008, -0/+4"Why it could have been worse: Could have been co-star Jason Bateman. Bo-ring!"

    Arrested Development -> Chicago Tribune
  • andrewlotta, on 08/19/2008, -0/+6Stop digging articles without even looking at them.
  • Owwmykneecap, on 08/19/2008, -0/+4Batman looking through a window....

    Oh and College and Hancock are good, different posters. What do you want, floating ***** heads everywhere?
  • HijackedFlavor, on 08/19/2008, -0/+2Just an awful list.
  • TheToecutter, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3One of the worst lists I've seen on Digg in a LONG time. Simply bad. Like they selected 6 random movie posters and generated likewise random text to go with them. Oh, but look...it made the front page of Digg. click...click...click...click...click. "Dude, it must be super awesome, therefore I DIGG!" click...click...click...click...

    Buried.
  • Rivfader, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1I like do not
  • joshf52, on 08/19/2008, -0/+2Wanted. Whoever did the Photoshop work on that needs a new job.
  • iKlipz, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1"College" and "Hancock" are very well done.
  • marinLETOILE, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3Meet Dave's poster really makes me want to punch Eddie Murphy right in the face.
  • desmondageratte, on 08/19/2008, -0/+06 worst movie posters of 2008.
    Seriously?
  • Moegopher, on 08/19/2008, -1/+2Poorly written article with stupid explanations. Though I do agree that Hancock looks like he ate a lemon.
  • jimb0, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1This is a terrible article. Most of those posters are ok or good.
  • CommanderDan, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1i wanted to see more. funny ***** and yeah most of those posters suck. i thought college was ok. and hancock resonated in my brain a lot when it was all over buses and bus stops and billboards, but i never saw it and wasn't fond of sour lemon-weird beard will smith. did anyone actually see College? That sorta flew under the radar. And I love college.
