What is it about Stellan Skarsgård’s let in the poster for Mamma Mia! that I just can’t look away from? Like some sort of massive traffic accident my eyes are drawn toward his manic grin and preposterously raised limb. My curiosity is unquestionably peaked. This poster may single-handedly be the greatest moment in advertising history.
Semi-dancing/grinning Skarsgård manages to simultaneously be more terrifying than his rapist role in Dogville, his shellfish demon in Pirates of the Caribbean and his poncey scarf in Good Will Hunting, combined!
That’s it. I’m going to see Mamma Mia!
