I don't get it either... Bad cropping, and some guy is sad?

I get it but I don't think it's a good image. It isn't very clear (both in quality and intent), and one just has to trust that the upcoming clip will be Oscar Bait, rather than the image showing that it is. Can this be illustrated at all?

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I'd support pulling it...no ideas on a replacement.

What about two mock posters for a neutral idea; one takes a lighthearted, populist approach (with that infamous "big bold red typeface of doom"), and another with Oscar Bait-y elements?

That might require some work, so I need to ask your opinions first.

Also, I have no idea what "neutral idea" to use.

EDIT: Tweaked the wordings.

Okay, it seems safe to close this then? It's up and tagged.

By the way, the previous image was a 120kb .png, would you believe that?
