Everything Is Cooler In Japan

 

It's pretty much impossible for anything to top the already pre-existing awesomeness that is Army of Darkness, but somehow this poster has accomplished this amazing feat.  There is so much greatness in this one image that my eyes are going into an awesomeness overdose.  Whoever designed this Japanese version of the Army of Darkness poster either needs to be given an award for being a graphic design genius or they need to be locked up for being absolutely batshit insane.  I can't decide which.

 

Of the many, many truly awe inspiring things in this poster, here's a list of some of my favorite things.

 

• The soup cans.  How, dear god, has no one ever thought of making Campbells soup cans with Bruce Campbell's name on them?  That's a veritable goldmine in potential merchandising dollars.


• A dolphin jumping through a clothes hanger.


• The pink polka dot background to the "Gimme some sugar baby!!" word bubble.


• The S Mart shopping bag with groceries in it.


• The happy and sad faces in the movie title.


• A hillside covered with toothbrushes and clothes hangers.


• The deadite that is sticking its head into the poster on the left hand side.  He just looks so happy.


• The castle flying the S mart flag.

 

There's a lot more to love, but those are my favorite bits.  Good lord I need to find a copy of this poster so I can frame it and bow before it in daily worship of its greatness.

 

Thanks go to Christina for pointing this out to me.  My day has already achieved its coolness pinnacle.  It's all downhill from here.
