I'm no fan of Moore, but he is in his movies, and is a known and popular personality.
I clicked on this thread thinking it would be a comparison of the original movie poster for F9/11 featuring a smirky Moore holding the envelope versus the altered DVD cover, in which Moore is now somber and standing in front of clouds for some reason.
Why the change? IIRC, his head was actaully bigger in the original poster. Most of the time, stars' heads are enlarged for the smaller DVD cover art. (A practice that I hate.) I suspect that this was just a response to allegations that the serious film was being marketed as a snarky comedy. In the interest of sudden good taste, Moore is now saaaaaad.

This probably would have been more appropriate for the Other forum. Although even there we've been trying to cut back on the number of blantant bashing threads like this one.
