A special request

James informs me that he's annoyed he has to hear the flame noises from the interactive Hunger Games poster I wrote about last week. He wants me to post more so that the Hunger Games post moves past the main page and he doesn't have to listen to it anymore.

So here you go, James. I'm working on it.

It's appalling the way I indulge you.

I think the pressures of the recession have caused the Showtime advertising staff to start smoking crack.


Okay, so this is the poster for the new season of The Tudors. Can somone please explain to me why Jonathan Rhys Meyers appears to be sitting on a throne of naked people? That's ridiculous all on its own, but let's also remember that this is season three. The Jane Seymour season. Jane Seymour was rather conservative. Jane Seymour was so conservative that she limited the actual number of pearls her courtiers could wear on their persons. She didn't want people getting all flashy with the pearls. She was Tudor England's version of Martha Stewart, if Martha Stewart had shunned the decorative arts and entered a nunnery. Jane Seymour would have been mortified by this picture.

Seriously, ad people, why is he SITTING on a throne of naked bodies?

This poster is wigging me out for reasons I can barely articulate.


Goodness knows I love me some Vince Vaughn, and I like Reese Witherspoon, too, but this poster is ridiculous. Look at how they have to prop Reese up on four gift boxes and a pair of ankle-breaker stillettos to get her at Vince's height. It makes him look like a monstrous giant and her look like a little girl who was playing with Mommy's shoe collection. How did they even keep them in the same frame while filming?

It's creeping me out. It just is.
