Not to mention, the latino review one has different measurements. Look at the snowmobiles, or whatever the hell they are, in proximity to his body.

This poster stuff reminds me of this:



Now I think this will be a talk about boobs... Which are nicer:

Keira's Non-Boobs, or Dr. Girlfriend's despite her voice.

@Bubba: Wow, I never saw that before! Poor K, she's flat as a pancake ;P
BaronBubba
BaronBubba - 7/22/2009, 3:00 PM
Yeah... Its like the only flaw I see with her, to be honest I think Keira is am-AYZA-zing, to be honest. A more down to earth attractiveness. Not all over the top and plastic-surgery'd up.

@Anil: You should never had admitted that. EVER. Now folks will think of you like this with comics:



You will NEVER bag Batgirl like that, Anil. Never.

@GUNSMITH: IN ALL OF... Ahem, In all of the times I've seen Ackles, or any other dude posted for that matter, I have NEVER been nervous, DESPITE the fact I am straight. Does seeing men unshirted worry you so? How about this?:



Does this make you nervous too? NERVOUS IN YOUR PANTS?!? OH SNAPS!

lol, j/k

So what's wrong with this poster, anyway? It only makes sense that they would do everything they can to want to make people see the movie. I'd be surprised if anyone in Korea has even heard of Chatum Tanning, or the Wayons brother, or any of the other US actors...

Yes, hes gay wyatt1234..everyone who looks gay is gay, didn't you know?

Superdog, you have a strange fascination with a girls "breast" as you call them in the singular for some reason. Is it beyond your comprehension that a girl without giant tits can be found attractive? I personally like big tits..and i like medium tits..and i like small tits! Im not fussy as long as theres a pretty face and a great ass!

Gunsmith your probably homosexual if mens torsos make you uncomfortable..just saying!;)

Also im with you guys on this one... big boobs are nice, but they are only part of the package. Its all about the girl working with what they got, you know what I mean?

ROR@ you said you like big tits, medium tits, and small tits.....do you like NO tits? cause thats what were talking about.....
and i prefer the jerry seinfield stance on breast, im a breast man cause i have an ass and legs...and a pretty face i might add:).....and whats the plural of breast?
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 7/23/2009, 9:09 AM
Well, em, breasts!..there are 2 of them!

That's one theory..if a little strange! But heres mine. Id much rather be with a girl with small or even no breasts and a great ass and figure than a girl with big boobs and a great big fat ass to match! Which is so often the case..if you get both of course, your lucky!

What's wrong with him being unmasked in the American poster? Honestly, there really shouldn't be a difference. Oh well. If marketing believes that the move will attract a wider audience, then what do I know?
