Notice anything prominent in there? Right: Angelina Jolie. If the goal of any given poster is to advertise the movie at hand, then Angelina's patented "I'm-Pissed-And-If-You-Even-Think-About-Standing-In-My-Way-I'll-Be-Sure-To-Wipe-The-Floor-With-You" glare as featured above should tell you everything Salt is about. They might as well have called it Angelina, Ready To Kick Your Butt.
It's a throwback to good old days when all you needed was the image, front and center, of your favorite star/character to sell you on a movie. And while Salt opened second place to Inception's second week, the fact that Ms. Jolie-Pitt was able to bring in $36 million practically on her own is impressive.
So, avid reader, I thought I'd give you another quiz. Below are snippets of other, recent "Face Time" posters designed for equal effect. Can you guess the movie title from the picture pieces given here? To make things easier, I'll even let you match the title to its poster. Pictures first, titles after:

My answers are the same as Jonny because he's absolutely right. Those were all pretty easy. the only one I took a second to think about was waterworld, because it's been forever sense I saw the poster, and the movie was pretty lame, so I put it out of my mind. good quiz though.
