Sci-fi, comics, humor, photos…it's all fair game.

Oh they did, did they?

We’ve wrapped up Movie Marquee Week, but here’s one last photo in the same style: a stack of DVDs at the local Borders.

DVD stack: Grumpy Old Men Knocked Up Mean Girls

Movie Marquee: Star Wars Disaster Movie

Is that the one in which millions of voices suddenly cry out in terror, and are suddenly silenced?

Marquee: Shopaholic Mallcop (etc)

Somehow, I don’t think that being a mall cop is a good choice for a self-confessed shopaholic.

Also, “Coraline: Just Not That Into You” has a faintly amusing ring to it.

Speaking of Coraline, I’m pleasantly surprised to see that not only is it still in a lot of nearby theaters after ~6 weeks, it’s still out in 3-D in a lot of theaters. I may have to take advantage of that fact at some point…

Doubt Che (movie marquee)

I saw this pairing and couldn’t help but think of all those college students with Che Guevara T-shirts…

Movie marquee week continues!

Notorius Marley Australia Button Unborn Valentine

Though “Unborn Valentine” sounds kinda creepy…

From What?

Street Kings Expelled Horton

I just realized I have enough photos of weird combinations on movie marquees to make this… Movie Marquee Week!

Marquee: Hanna Montana Over Her Dead Body

That’s one determined music star.

Or else one weird music/horror crossover film. (But then, is there any other kind?)

Pirates ’n’ Prada

Marquee: Barnyard Pirates Accepted

Wow, they’ll take anyone in that crew!

Marquee: Beerfest Wears Prada

Somehow, I’m not convinced!

The following movies were not harmed in the making of this blog post: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, Beerfest, The Devil Wears Prada, and Barnyard.

2 to 5

Notice anything odd about this Flashback Features movie marquee? (Hint: Look at the dates.)

Movie marquee with 2 and 5 substituted for each other

I think I can see a solution to their problem…

Movie Marquee in Laguna Hills featuring: Corpse Bride, Just Like Heaven

For a movie theater with only four screens, they seem to be going for themes lately. How else would they end up pairing up these two? Corpse Bride, Just Like Heaven.

(I passed the sign the night before, and it was pairing up The 40 Year Old Virgin with Just Like Heaven—another combination that’s just slightly wrong.)

That Explains It!

Movie marquee in Laguna Hills including: 40 Year Old Virgin, Unwanted Woman

Okay, read the last two titles together: The 40 Year Old Virgin, Unwanted Woman. It seems like the second line might explain the first…

(On a side note, this is the second post with pictures from my new camera phone. The image quality is pathetic compared to the good camera—640×480 vs. 5 megapixels—but it’s a lot more convenient to carry around, and quite adequate for this type of photo. And it’s much better than the expendable camera was, especially at the end of its life.)

The Perfect Couple

A perfect pairing on a movie marquee:

Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Honeymooners

Alternate title?

Spotted on a movie theater marquee:

STAR WARS EPISODE III
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

Sorry, no photo, though if it’s still there the next time I drive by, I might be able to get one.
