Running time of movie - Cover photo

I may be taking this combining-messages thing a bit far--OT usually 
feels blissfully anarchic when it comes to such guidelines--but what 
the hey.

It might just be sloppiness.  I'm continually amazed by the simple 
errors of fact that make it into print--more LOONs need to go into 
journalism.

Hey, do you think they'll have an intermission?!  Wouldn't that be 
cool?  (And if they need a motive, think of all the extra popcorn 
they would sell.)  They never put in intermissions anymore.  I had to 
run out in the middle of Malcolm X because I cannot make it through a 
movie more than 2 hours long.  (Amy scoots back to seat, having set 
some kind of sprinting record.  "What happened?"  "He 
proposed."  "She say yes?"  "Of course!")

Amber, I think I know what you mean now about the cover pic.  It 
hadn't occurred to me that it made it look like a kids' thing--VF is 
obviously gambling that adults are very interested in this movie, and 
I very much doubt they'll lose that bet--but it would have looked 
more like actual action from the movie if Harry had been looking 
ahead instead of at the camera.

Do you suppose Liebovitz was deliberately echoing the Mary Grandpre 
cover?  No Snitch etc., but there are other similarities, like the 
cape (maybe it's a robe but it is behaving like a cape) and the hair 
blowing straight up.  Hmm.
