New Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Movie Poster

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trade News | Comments (23)

It’s the movie poster you folks have been waiting for all weekend long. There’s no reason to feel sorry for yourself now: The long weekend is over, and an interminable workweek is ahead, but fuck it: Lookie here! New Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Movie Poster!

Actually, it’s about as generic a movie poster as you’re likely to find: The usual floating heads bullshit, grim expressions and some crappy atmospherics. A proper movie poster for this would’ve simply had a giant, lucky crack pipe. What, you don’t have a lucky crack pipe?

I love that tagline; "The only criminal he can't catch is himself" for being completely unfettered by anything approaching logic or sense. It slides by at first, another movie tagline, something the marketing department dreamt up after reading the coverage on the script and consuming copious amounts of drugs. But then it gets its hooks in your mind and you're like "wait a minute, what does that even MEAN?!?" It appears to be an attempt to play on the concept of "bad", in the sense that he's both criminal and bad at his job, but the execution is so sloppy that I almost don't want to admit that I realized the confluence.

And really, how can you not catch yourself being a criminal? I totally just caught myself being awesome and I'm not even on the police force. I'm just that good. (Or awesome)

Warning: Comments posted by Rusty prior to 11am may feature strong stream of consciousness overtones. You probably shouldn't listen to anything she says, even if she is awesome.

The only criminal he can't catch is himself.

I found that far too amusing.

I've never heard of this film. I'm giving up on Nicolas Cage.

Ah, Rusty beat me to it.

I didn't know Herzog was planning two films this year. I was just telling my friend to look up the title and trailer for "My Son, My Son", but I couldn't name it at the time. He'll probably find this shitty looking movie instead, and tell me how wrong and awful I am to think it looks great. For some reason I can't imagine this turning out feeling like Herzog film.

glurrrrgh.

This is what you come back into my life with, pajiba?

I preferred the no news option to this.

"The only criminal he can't catch is himself"

The only way this movie could possibly be good is if Cage's character ultimately concocts a scheme to "catch himself" using the subterfuge of dressing up in a bear suit and punching lesbians in order to create a diversion while he moves in for the arrest. And then he should be burned to death.

For one thing, that pix up there. Harvey would have his hand inside her top, playing with her nipple and demanding she make a face like she does when she's giving her boyfriend a blowjob, all the while he's jerking himself off.

The only part of that I think of when I see Cage in that picture is "jerk."

Alternate title -- Bad Lieutenant: The Case of the Missing Sideburns

As it is, it looks like Cage is telling her, "See that coffee shop over there? That one has free wifi and they make a fine mocha latte. I recommend it. There's another shop a couple blocks from here, I think the coffee's a little better but the danish there tends to be kind of stale. The danish over there is To. Die. For. Would you like me to help you cross the street? Really, I don't mind, young lady."

I like to imagine that the four guys standing around their squad cars with their guns drawn are in a tense standoff about who farted in the car, and everybody knows it was Cage, but he is standing mute like Giles Corey, only more dickishly.

That's Nic Cage? I thought it was Christopher Lee in one of those old Hammer Dracula films. Or is he Frank Langella. They're all starting to morph into each other.

Posted by: BWeaves at September 8, 2009 11:04 AM

Maybe they mean "Bad" in both the criminal and incompetent senses, like he's trying to catch himself but he can't.

"Dammit! I've staked out my house, cut off my bank accounts and roughed up my dog, but I just can't catch this punk! That's okay. I'll screw up eventually and when I do, I'm gonna be there to nail my ass right to the wall."

Having never seen Keitel’s “Bad Lieutenant” I don’t have a point of reference, but seeing as Nick Cage is staring in this version of it I’m sure it’s going to suck whale nuts.

Posted by: Guess Who! at September 8, 2009 11:21 AM

Cage just looks like a zombie in that pic.

Deathly pallor? Check.
Thousand-yard stare? Check.
Looking like he's starving for some brains? Check.

I think they should transplant him into Zombieland and let Woody and Jesse beat him to a pulp with baseball bats.

Treena, there is absolutely no reason to ruin a perfectly good zombie movie by Caging it up.

*Shuffle, shuffle - moaaaaaaaan the bees! Not the bees! Shuffle - Shuffle where are my sideburns?

I found a great place ____ W E A L T H Y S O C I A L . C O M ____. The best club for seeking the rich singles, sexy beauties and even hot celebs..I think everyone need to meet some miracle after all the terrible stuff in the news and the economy.——____——

Why does this movie has such a complicated title? Is Bad Lieutenant the name of a ship? I suppose it must be if its destination is a port and the port is in New Orleans.

Posted by: alphawhiskey at September 8, 2009 1:25 PM

Oh, spambot...

I might visit your site, if only you offered the opportunity for me to meet a "hot celeb" like Nic Cage, put him in a bear suit, beset him with bees, and then light him on fire.

Posted by: Cat at September 8, 2009 1:54 PM

Carrie,
I'm giving up on Nicolas Cage. What took you so long?

Posted by: Deistbrawler at September 8, 2009 3:37 PM

Oh yeah, I guess that's a fair point. I gave up on him a while ago really. I think it was the 'How did it burn?!!!' moment in the Wickerman remake.
