Title: Adventureland

Finally went to see The Dark Knight at IMAX last night, and tucked in corner way in the back was a promo cutout shaped like a classic Midway cabinet! I thought, "COOL, the King of Kong inspired comedy is coming", but no, it was for a movie called "Adventureland". I'm not sure why they chose to go with that, as the movie takes place in 1987, and the trailer doesn't have one single arcade reference in it:

The cutout (what's the proper word for these cardboard standing things?)

I'm surprised Disney allowed it.

Seems to be semi based on a real theme park..... don't think there is much they can do about that. But yeah, wouldn't surprise me if they did look into it.
