Ice-T's Disembodied Scowl: A Touching Retrospective

A good movie poster is a hard thing to pull off: It must convey the emotional mood of a scene and summarize the plot of the film, while still drawing in the passing theater-goers’ eye at the same time. It truly is a lost art. But you know who found it? Ice-T. The man’s face is a thesaurus, his scowl is a novel, and his mustache is visual poetry. Nothing conveys more than Ice-T's floating head on a movie poster, and here’s exactly what it says:

 



Kept


Their sex games have no boundaries…
 



What his expression says: Why these white people fuckin’ inside my head?!
 


The Guardian


Fear for your life, fight for your soul.
 


What his expression says: Ain’t this a bitch? Playin’ underdog to fuckin’ Mario Van Peebles and his tiny, greasy dreads. What product you use in your hair, Mario, Jerry Curl cooking oil?



Out Kold


In a world of gangstas and hustlers, there’s only one way out…
 


What his expression says: Man, don’t Tommy Lister look like a ghetto Iguana? Hahaha! Shit! Don’t he?!



Leprechaun in the Hood


Evil’s in the House
 


What his expression says:
Shit, do I play a hat this whole movie?



Stealth Fighter


The ultimate street fight at 50,000 feet.
 



What his expression says: Look at how we all lined up. This shit’s like a B-list Oreo.



‘R Xmas


Dual identities, dueling dealers, and an overdose of greed…
 



What his expression says: This movie’s title spelled so ghetto, even I don’t know what it means…we black, man, not retarded. Use some damn vowels.



Below Utopia


He was a hired professional, but this was personal.
 


What his expression says:
You see this? You see what I’m rockin’ here? The Black Man’s Ascot. I call this shit ‘the Blackscot.’



Shot Down


A film by Kurt Voss (who is not creative enough to come up with a tagline)
 



What his expression says: I cannot fucking believe Luke Perry wore the same do-rag as me.



Final Voyage


Set a course for terror.
 


What his expression says: I’m gettin’ pretty damn sick of movies about two white people vs. Ice-T.



The Alternate


Kill the president, kill the hostages, escape. A great idea!
 


What his expression says: Man, they lyin’! I don’t see me nowhere! Who is that motherfucker? Look like a store brand Ice Cube. Seriously, what the fuck? Did I forget a whole movie?



Trespass


They’re in the wrong place, at the wrong time…
 


What his expression says:
Why did I dress like this was Interview with the Black Vampire? The ‘90s was some stupid shit.

 


Surviving the Game


The rules are simple: Kill or be killed
 



What his expression says: Nobody sees nothin’ wrong with this movie? White people huntin’ black people? That’s cool? Alright, shit. Gotta make rent somehow.



On the Edge


Nobody escapes the streets.
 


What his expression says: Don’t look at Gary Busey, don’t look at GaryBusey, don’tlookatGaryBusey, don’tlookatGaryBusey…



Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang


It takes a certain boy to be a superhero!
 


What his expression says: I’m high as shit right now, an’ I don’t mean to sound paranoid but is that…is Gary Busey back there? Is he a… mountain? Motherfucker, do not tell me I have to climb Mount Busey in this movie.

Someone already invented the second-class oreo. It's called a Hydrox. The only cookie as foul sounding as it tasted.
