Did someone say "More Ted Screenshots?"

Since I'm totally nuts about the movie Ted (in case you hadn't already guessed), I just had to post some more wonderful screenshots from the movie of the century!

More posters for Ted

Here are a few foreign language Ted movie posters.

Any excuse to post more stuff about Ted!




Tedriffic!


Well, I finally saw the movie Ted and I'm delighted to tell you that it was absolutely awesome. It was much better than I had expected and hoped it to be. I've been raving about it to everyone I know all week and I've already watched it several times because its just that good.



What makes Ted so special is that it combines so many different elements and balances them perfectly. Not only that, but its so unique in its take on the Teddy Bear genre. I mean if this was done by anybody other than Seth MacFarlane, say Disney for example, you'd probably get the usual wholesome squeaky clean PG rated stuff targeted for child audiences and guaranteed not to offend anybody. All too predictable. Ted on the other hand manages to be funny, cute, sad, uplifting, offensive, politically incorrect and anything else you can think of all at the same time. The emotional moments are genuine but not too soppy and the humour is, well, did I mention politically incorrect?

 
Ted is not your typical cuddly Teddy Bear. Hes vulgar and rude, and he smokes and drinks. There are scenes you might expect and and then there's stuff you wouldnt have imagined. Admittedly its not for everyone, but if you don't offend easily, if you love the eighties and enjoy spotting pop culture references, and if you've got a big heart and you love Teddy Bears, then you'll adore the movie Ted, as well as Ted himself.

Here's a few more screenshots to enjoy. Follow the links for larger versions.

Ted: The Movie


 
I'm dedicating this post to the recent movie Ted.

Here's a short synopsis from imdb:
When he was eight years old, John Bennett, friendless and thus lonely, wished that his only friend, Ted his teddy bear who had a voice recorded message "I love you", would love him forever. John got his wish as Ted miraculously came to life, which garnered Ted his proverbial fifteen minutes of fame. Twenty-seven years later, John and Ted have remained best friends. Although physically the same, Ted now has grown-up urges, as vulgar, perverted and immature as they be.
I haven't seen it yet but I plan to very soon. I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it. The reviews are good, it gets a 7.2/10 rating on imdb and of course it never hurts to have Mila Kunis around for some eye candy. Once I've seen it I'll let you guys know what I think


 I take umbrance with one reviewer though: 
"The acceptance and interaction of everyone with a living teddy-bear adds to the simple joy of this film, and you find yourself happy to watch and not question why nobody is fazed by this."
Evidently some people are still stupid enough to presume that Teddy Bears are not real. Talk about ignorant!

Title: Ted
Year: 2012
Director: Seth MacFarlane
Cast: Ted, Mark Whalberg, Giovanni Ribisi and Mila Kunis
Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1637725/

*Note: There appears to be a mistake in the credits on imdb as it states that Seth MacFarlane does the voice of Ted. Obviously a typo because why would Ted need somebody else to do his voice for him?

Here's a few more posters.
