We've seen some funky movie posters from the Soviet Union and Poland, but Twitter user @Retr0Joe managed to completely overshadow both with his thread of hand painted African movie posters. Apparently, due to licensing issues, some African movie theaters would hire artists to paint the promotional posters for their theaters. Most of these artists were completely ignorant of the film plots, so they'd have to fake it. And apparently that means a lot more guns, a lot more violence, and unexpected cameos from Michael Jackson. And if these aren't enough for you, there are tons more to be found in the thread.

Ah, the '90s. The decade of our favorite heartthrob Jonathan Taylor Thomas, boy bands, Space Jam, Tamagotchis and many more things that all of us Millennials so desperately miss. If you long for the superior decade of the '90s then you'll really appreciate scrolling through these nostalgic AF pics. We guarantee they'll make you reminisce hardcore.
The latest Spider-Man film reboot was released this past Friday to mostly positive reviews - and a whopping $117 million in US box office sales. We urge you to see the film if you haven't, but in the meantime we've rounded up our favorite parodies of the movie's very crowded poster.
Oh, and in case you hadn't heard: Iron Man is in the movie.

Deadspin reported July 22 that Warner Bros. Studios and LeBron James had established some sort of partnership to develop possible movies and TV shows.
SpringHill Entertainment, the company James co-founded with Maverick Carter, already produces television shows and web content, and James has expressed his desire to branch out into the entertainment world. (His largely praised role in Trainwreck is just a start.) "To be able to partner with Warner Bros. will allow me to do some things I've always dreamed of," James said in a statement.
To them, and everyone else, that seems like a pretty clear indicator of a sequel to Space Jam
You want more proof? Fine.
Deadspin also pointed out that Warner Bros. filed a new trademark for 'Space Jam' last month.

Coincidence?
Whew, we are just in an orgy of 1990s renaissance here and it sure feels sticky. Between Xena Warrior Princess, a little Netflix thing called Fuller House, and some show called X Files or something, the entertainment industry just really wants you to feel the dread of mortality by showing how much everyone has aged.
That doesn't really apply to the cartoons in Space Jam or a rebooting with LeBron James but...
Already dreading the 2000s nostalgia train that will leave the station in about five years or so.
