o floating heads. i think the criterion designers should just hijack all movie advertising, eliminate faces from posters, and just use visual form to depict film. its too bad we need huge floating heads in movie posters in order to get across that tom cruise is in the feature. isn't his name good enough?

Hahaha, my boyfriend sent that to me about a month ago and now I can't get it out of my head every time I see a movie! Lame.

Of course his name isn't good enough. I think I heard somewhere that it's actually in their contract to be on the cover, and depending on the actor/ess, the more prominent they are on it. It's crazy silly stuff.
