Random Starlet...Random Co-Star

(Tried to audioblog this item earlier today, but couldn't get a connection.)

I was walking through The Village at Orange this morning and noticed a movie poster for the new movie The Perfect Man.



First, am I the only one who is irked when the pictures of the people do not match up with the textual names? I realize that the text of the names is in a specific order (see next paragraph), but it still irks me to see the name "Chris Noth" and a picture of a blonde woman underneath.

Second, when did Hillary Duff's career shoot into the stratosphere? Getting billing above Heather Locklear is a coup. Sure, I know that Locklear is primarily known for TV work, but you have to admit that she has a lot more TV work than Hillary Duff has work.

Third, what's with the raccoon look? Readers already know that I don't care for the one-eyed look. For me, excessive makeup is also a turn-off. Is Hillary trying to be Avril Lavigne? (Heh.)

No, you are not the only one bothered by the name ordering "issue". I see that happen all the time and it drives me nuts!

Dear movie-ad industry: Either orchestrate a photo that puts the faces and names in corresponding billing-order (or whatever order they're using; here I suspect it's just alphabetical by last name? Please God, tell me miss Duff-Stuff doesn't outrank Ms Locklear!) or don't put any names near them at all. Do that thing where they get all crunched up at the bottom (which I like better, actually). Then I won't be so distracted by the mis-match that I completely miss whatever's being advertised!

Sorry for the little rant, heh.
Hope you have a nice weekend over in your whereabouts. We recently made some "beautifications" to our front yard last weekend so this weekend will be more about actually enjoying them now. :)

Congratulations on your front yard's beautification. We still have an exterior to paint.

And I wouldn't be surprised if Duff outranks Locklear. Especially for younger audiences who don't know the difference between Richie Sambora and Richie Cunningham.

In which we enter the alternative universe in which police always believe dreadlocked individuals

I previously raised the question about whether Interference Inc. was prompt in letting the authorities know that the so-called bombs in Boston weren't bombs. Now a new question has been raised - was Peter Berdovsky prompt in letting Interference Inc. know that the guerilla marketing campaign had gone sour? And should he have informed the on-scene officers that there was nothing to worry about? The issue was raised because Berdovsky videotaped police at a (supposed) bomb site. This is what the Associated Press said : One of the men criminally charged after placing blinking cartoon advertisements around the city videotaped a police bomb squad removing one of the electronic devices, but did not tell the officers the object was harmless. Surveillance cameras caught 27-year-old Peter Berdovsky videotaping officers removing what they thought was a possible bomb. But Walter Prince , Berdovsky's new layer (replacing semi-guardian Michael Rich ), puts a different spin on the whol...
