I love these. During Ghana’s series of military govermments through the 70s and 80s, import laws made it functonally impossible to get printing presses into the country. Ghanaian cinemas, undeterred, did all their posters by hand instead https://www.dannydutch.com/post/bizarre-movie-posters-from-africa-that-are-so-bad-they-re-good

Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed
Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

Regarding spoilers; Please put “(Spoilers)” in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don’t want to make any hard limits.

Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don’t support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.
