A poster for a movie by some guy named Sultan Rahi.  Never heard of him, never heard of his movies.   I don't think he even makes movies.  I think the critics are just too scared to call him on it.  I certainly wouldn't tell him he's never made a movie.
I think that's the guy who played Sandokan

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I cannot stop posting this. It is too awesome.
 And technically, it's advertising France.

 The big words translate to "They shall not pass."

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Mefie, toys of the hypocritical [I'm going to guess the last word is Bitch].

I'm pretty sure it's just proclaiming something about a glorious fight on the German front.

I'll just roll with that. Because It SEEMS that the middle line says something about The Offensive of the Bread (which totally sounds like a DF battle).

More like:
"Two times I stood and vainquished on the Marne
Civil, my brother,   [That's what it means, though I have no idea why he would throw "civil" in there]
The sly offensive of the "white peace" will attack you too,
Like me, you must stand your ground and vainquish, be strong and clever.
Beware of the boche hypocrisy.    ["Boche" is french old racist slang for "German".]"
Or something like that.

Even in french it sounds like very bad poetry. This wouldn't inspire me to fight off any invader, although the undead Istari-soldier with giant feet would.

Maybe civil has or had some slightly different connotation. Or maybe they needed four syllables that ended in 'er'.

I hear the french are great poets, but I've only ever managed to hear/read bad poetry from them. Oh, and I heard french rap once. That's, like, an oxymoron.

I think I figured it out: he is a soldier, and he is speaking to a civilian, who is his brother. It's simple actually.

As for french poetry, it's beautiful mainly because it sounds good, so translations often suck. Try Charles Baudelaire, who's the best poet there ever was in my opinion. I guess it would be good even just reading a translation for the meaning and the actual text for the musicality.

Gandalf isn't cool.  Gandalf is a level 1 wizard with light as all of his memorized spells.

He's actually Wizard 1/Ranger 11 with high animal empathy and ride, actually, and "Other Wizards/Orcs" as his racial enemies. Shadowfax is his animal companion.

Wait, you don't need to be an elf to be a ranger.
