Some people call Belarus “The last and only dictatorship in Europe”, well today we have some posters from this unique country. These are posters for Hollywood movies made for the cinemas of Belarus capital city Minsk.
The first one above is for the movie “50 First Dates” with Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler, you can see their faces clearly on this poster.
This one is for “Spy Kids 3-D”
Guess who are they and what is the movie? You give up? Ok I’ll tell you, the movie is “Freaky Friday” and these are faces of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.
I hope here you can guess it. For sure that was a poster for “Scooby Doo”
This one is “Just Married” with Ashton Kutcher as some of you may have already guessed.
And who the heck is that??? No guesses? Ok, I’ll tell you – that’s “Bridget Jones’s Diary” and the lady is Renée Zellweger.
Meet Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant in “Two Weeks Notice”.
The last but not the least. “Shallow Hal” with Gwyneth Paltrow. No comments on this one.
thanks to folder
Belarus is not the only remaining dictatorship in Europe. Don’t forget about Adolph Putin.
You forgot Adolph Blair and Adolph Bush
Bush? Which part of in Europe didn’t you understand?
If onlly Bush were to just control US and nothing more
Adolph Ansip
Adolph Putin ROFL ROFL
Pro American Nicolas Sarkozy wins!
USA rocks!
firsak, u kick ass!
USA KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!
BUSH ROOOOOOOCKS!!!!
BOOSH BOOSH NOMBER ONE
so, the pro-palestinien line is changing into pro-jewish-ok! Who knows -does Iran really has bomb?
What’s wrong with this woman???
Actually a lot of it is owned by Rupert Murdoch, an Australian. Your right, there’s a vacuum of intelligent news broadcasts here, but there are some decent newspapers and public radio programs.
they don’t arrest US bloggers or radio hosts who criticize the state so you’d better STFU and take a look at your own back yard.
There might or might not be a conspiracy going on. The media is and always was a great propaganda tool but Americans are still more free than you’d like us to think – there’s freedom of speech, proper rights and a reasonable justice system. Not perfect but not the corrupt disgrace that the far eastern european block + russia has. That’s for sure
ps. i’m not an american
0 for 9
Actually they’re Ukrainian AFAIK.
No-no, these are 100% from Minsk. I would say, all of them were painted for the movie theater called “Mir”. I have my own collection of “Mir” posters which I kept shooting every day while walking to the office, a while ago.
didn’t know Drew Barrymore had dandruff-problems…
Adam Sandler looks like a Mexican
He looks Jewish!
I rule that he looks Mexican. Or Cuban. or Puerto-Rican. But mainly Mexican.
I was going to say hispanic, but I didn’t think the Russians would understand.
Sandra Bullock no longer looks Jewish but she is still ugly.
The first poster is actually family photo of Sarah and Boris Abramov!
He he he .. he does look a bit like me
Yo sup essay Borris.
Suck my cojones chico!

Russia, Please take us back.
Actually, it should read “Russia, please give us money and we will keep talking about you taking us back”. We call this “kisses for sale”, and Russians were buying them quite good for a lot of years.
if this pictures was in a museum, perhaps, could be called “art”, but in the streets, should be called “trash”
Looks just like USSR-era movie\propaganda posters…It’s interesting that this sort of style is still made today.
that’s a good point. Why are they making posters in this style? Is this real?
Because machines to print large photographic style printed posters are expensive. Having someone hand paint posters is cheaper and doesn’t require the large printing machinery.
Actually, “Bridget Jones” was the only one I figured out on my own…
Why don’t they just scan in the cover of the DVD and blow the picture up? Does XEROX not exist???
It’s Belarus porn
Are u serious?
Hey man, – don’t get me started on the kind of porn you have in Texas
Inform me because I don’t know.
Oh, I think you know
….. – Since you are the one performing the sexual acts. lol

In 2002, I saw these hand-painted posters in Sochi Russia for Star Wars and Spiderman — see the lower right-hand corner photo. Unfortunately, my mug covers part of the picture.
cool site
all is for you, baby! And you did not want to bee my child?!!!!
Hi polish grandma! Your offer is kind but I like the weather in Texas much better. I like it hot! Do you like it hot?
Not at all! My dear what do you want from Me! You see- smple querstion from the mom with determenia! The honesty will be prieced!Mistakes are…
yana, are you GILF by any chance?
Sorry Yana. I don’t understand.
Ideal weather for sex with sheep ha ha ha !
These poster / paintings look a lot like what you can find in African video/movie houses. Over there, they really do not have Xerox, in general.
Why doesn’t Belarus just use movie posters instead of painting them like they’re stuck in 1950? I don’t understand why they do this.
Maybe it could be because the painter’s union is so strong? This way, artists get jobs doing what they’re … good … at, and don’t have to take day jobs as taxi drivers to earn a living.
they don’t appear to be too good at painting either. a planned economy isn’t supposed to allow everyone to do what they want, it’s supposed to make sure that there are enough people to do what is needed for the state and the people. This is creating busy work just for the sake of working.
Товарищу художнику – зачот! Славься, боец невидимого фронта! Какую нужную и своевременную работу он делает… Для отвращения молодого поколения от американской поп-культуры все средства хороши!
СМОТРИТЕ ВСЕ НА ИХ ИСТИННЫЕ ЛИЦА, ХА-ХА!
Preved, pendosegi!
They are true persons of Americans, бугага!
WOOOOW MAN! Those paintings are soo funny. I guess the people are shocked, that in the films nobody looks like on the poster. LOL
I guess I missed it but why do they have to be paintings instead of just regular pictures with different text?
This is comical. I think these movie posters were painted by my boss George. He also has marginal sanity and a very limited ability to grasp any world outside of the one he lives in where he is King, of course.
haha, man that is weird
БЛЯ ВЫ ТАКИЕ УЕБКИ!!!
work your brains and translate
ну вы и припиздки я таких еще не видел

i like art posters specially if they depict something about nature and beauty ..
watching online movies has been my past time this month, i really enjoy it -,’
Nothing but a tradition, guys. The same guy might of been doing’em painted posters for many decades. Just try looking at it from a different angle.
