... FOR "CINEMA STAPLES AND THE PECULIAR POSITIONING OF NAMES ON MOVIE POSTERS"
While we're stuck on a movie poster kick, I happened to catch a 10-minute featurette on Ridley Scott's The Counselor the other day, which, among clips and talking-head interviews and the like, also featured red-carpet footage from the movie's October 3rd UK premiere. As they questioned star Michael Fassbender for the camera, I couldn't help but notice a peculiar poster for the film in the background (note: this photo is obviously from an Entertainment Tonight report from the very same event, and not, obviously, from the featurette I watched on the TV the other night, since I couldn't find a photo from that):
It's nothing special as far as posters go, just your typical mishmash

one particular problem: their names don't line up with their faces! And it took
my brain a moment to process it (Why,
that isn't Fassbender - that's Cameron Diaz! And that isn't Cameron Diaz - it's
Brad Pitt!). Here's a closer look, so you can see what I'm talking about:
