When I was in Ukraine for a month I learned the Cyrillic alphabet and the sounds each letter/symbol makes. Although I didn't learn many words, I did learn how to spell English words in Russian or Ukranian. So I could read things from America while there. I didn't look at your post's test, just the poster and I translated the title to be General, and hte name to be Buster Keaton. I didn't even see the name in the shirt until now.

I know enough of the alphabet to make out "Genn[hard G]-er-al" at the bottom.

At the top it seems to be "Bester" Keaton for some reason

The way 12 Monkeys did their build-up was genius.

They basically used stencils to tag buildings in a handful of major cities...




...weeks before the "teaser" poster was plastered all over construction sites and displayed in theaters nationwide.



I'm not sure how much advance buzz it actually created (if any), but it was a perfect promotion for the movie.



ETA:

I thought the "image within the image" for this one was pretty savvy as well...

I always bring this beverage to this party. It's pretty plain and not very artistic, but it has meaning for me.

Here are three different versions of Wyatt & Billy on the Mississippi River Bridge in Baton Rouge:







When I was in fifth grade my brother put the bottom one up in his room. I thought it was pretty cool then and still do.

It became a focal point in our house because that movie was one of the influences that my parents blamed on some changes in his behavior.
