A Pair Of Pickled Posters

.
Both via AICN. First up, the international one
for Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds:


And yes, the writer at AICN does appear to be correct that if you enlarge this poster, it's big, you can tell that they seem to have dyed Eli Roth's eyes blue.


And it is fucking creepy looking. Still... those three - to the right of Mr. Pitt is MNPP-gratuity member Til Schweiger - marching towards me in Nazi uniforms with their weapons drawn is maybe supposed to scare me? It's not supposed to turn me on, right? Right? Hmm. Yeah...

Secondly, the US version of the poster
for Park Chan-wook's vamp-priest flick Thirst:


The only difference from the original Korean one - that got banned over there - is the addition of the quotes (because we Americans just adore blurbs!) and they photo-shopped away her legs. Her slutty legs all wrapped up and around him, which are what got the poster banned in Korea. You bastards! What have you done with her legs?!?!?!?

Ahem. Basterds is out on August 21st
while Thirst is out on July 31st. Whee!
