Dear Edwina,
I got bamboozled by my own industry! There I was feeling smug that I am not fooled by one sheets trailers and day to day PR. But, there I was ticket in hand last Sunday feeling completely duped by our industry. I should demand my money back, but who is to blame?
I know BLT did the one sheets, so fist shake at them, yes I thought that head would pay off to something in the movie! And who do I owe begrudging props to for that series of trailers? I hope you are satisfied with yourselves!
You bastards!

Sounds like Prometheus. What was up with castle grey skull?

"The immortal Prometheus was bound to a rock, where each day an eagle, the emblem of Zeus, was sent to feed on his liver, only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day."
Just like working in Entertainment Advertising.

Kudos to the marketing machine for selling me an empty box and separating me from my opening day $12.

umm. the "big head" is paid off in the first scene of the movie.

ripley, I am glad that was enough to satisfy you. It wasn't for me. I was hoping for a cultural backstory to the big totemic statues. Why put that in an interstellar weapon?

Thank you for clearing that up, gentlemen. We thought Bitter Lemon® was on a rant about Will Smith’s big fat head on the MIB III one-sheet.
