Scary!

The Sarg said...

Well now, how did THAT get there?

Ryan said...

This was at my local cinema and I KNEW there was something wrong but I couldn't place my finger on it. Now I can't unsee it.

Tiago Roldão said...

Well... Her arm DOES go the distance...

Donna said...

How do you know her hand isn't going right through his armpit and she also has a broken wrist??? No PSD here.

Ergo said...

This is a love triangle between Justin Long, Drew Barrymore and Thing. Obviously Barrymores hand is hidden in Longs armpit and we see Thing on his shoulder, creating the ILLUSION that Barrymore has a severed hand... ooobviously no PSD!

Charcoaltree said...

Yes! It's Thing.

Thorny Vine said...

Yay for Thing!

Wait, is her arm over his, or under it?
I'm so confused!

Nate said...

Disaster aside, if her name wasn't on the poster, I wouldn't have guessed that that was Drew Barrymore...

ventura said...

Who cares about her arm? It's the face that scares me. That's not Drew Barrymore at ALL.

But about her arms, it's the left arm that's too long, right? Or am I just seeing things?

waldobaby said...

That texture doesn't carry across letters or shadows. Fake brick wall.

waldobaby said...

PS: she's lost her baby fat. she has to be nearly forty years old by now.

Dawn said...

I'm with ventura. I'm less concerned about the arm (which is obviously on loan from Gumby) than about them pasting someone else's face on Drew! And then slimming her by about thirty pounds! That's not Drew :(

ewaffle said...

She may have lost her baby fat but unless she also grew a new nose that is not Drew Barrymore.

PoCoLoco said...

Not a PSD.

Obviously Drew Barrymore has found Justin Long's charm 'single-handedly disarming'.

waldobaby said...

Oh, yes. It is her nose. Look at all her (doctored) pics on DrewBarrymore.com and it's that nose.

- said...

WTF? That's Drew Barrymore? I could've sworn it was Britney Spears, but then again, I know nothing about this celebrity shit...

I'm hopping on the Thing surprise guest appearance bandwagon; not a PSD!

wv: hymen - I kid you not. Wow.

Marinka said...

wtf are they blind when they do that? At least its not as obvious as the SATC poster..because that was ugly! :P

jambalie said...

waldobaby - her nose? yes. her profile? hmm... kinds looks like they scooped out the area near her mouth. profiles on drewetc.com don't have that same caved in look.

Jan said...

I can't believe with the budgets of these Hollywood films they can't find people to finesse these things a little better. Either that, or they think the viewing public are a bunch of simpleton dopes.

waldobaby said...

"but then again, I know nothing about this celebrity shit..."

Me neither. I'm still working on keeping Oprah and Kirstie straight.

Anthony said...

Maybe she just has an extra joint in her arm, ever think of that?

Sam said...

Drew Barrymore?

TomasR said...

Who is that girl?
Not Drew...
But - she has a nice top I must say. I like the color :)

Randon said...

It might just be something screwy with my monitor, but it also looks like Mystery Woman's face is about six inches nearer us than the bloke's.

It would be quicker to list the things that are right with this abomination.

\/\//\ Wim said...

When you adjust the contrast of the picture, you will see her upper arm holding him at the height of his breast. Her lower arm then goes straight up to above his shoulder. Her hand then goes down, sideways over his back. It's not a comfortable pose, but it's still possible. So I don't think the hand was photoshopped.
Her face is, though!

Zntgrg said...

The fake shadow is a bigger disaster, especially the double shadow-on-shadow of the shoe.

WDI said...

They couldn't even manage to get to text to line up with the bricks properly. A bit worrying as I'd say that was the simplest part of the job.

Jonny Dade said...

I know i use this pun way too often but...

Atleast the shopper tried to get this to look good, there's no arm in trying!

caradjine said...

Arthritis, that is the diagnostic. Poor girl.

An said...

I don't know who is on that photo, but it's not Drew Barrymore! And I don't wanna know who that is.

The less I know, the better I sleep!

Stevo said...

Improper perspective on the text is also winding me up...

Sil said...

How difficult it is to get two people together in order to take a photograph??

Alena said...

Ain't that Sarah Jessica Parker's profile?

AcemanJones said...

"Since I'm a great actress and the supposed heir to the Barrymore throne, I'm going to work my staff PS magic and make it look as if I'm looking WAY WAY past your shoulder.

I know you're right in front of me, Justin or Jason or whatever your name is, MAC guy -I don't care as long as the check clears my bank account- but this line will be much better to publicize my new plastic surgery, which is what this movie is really selling to 44-year-old women trying to nail 24-year-old guys.

Oh, plus? They're going to PS in a hand over your shoulder for no reason...and slim down your waist to a tight 23 inches to make sure all the gay guys watching are anorexic, too.

You're OK with all that, right, Jonathan? Your check will clear your bank account, too.

Now, let's go to my dressing room and see what you can do."

-Drew Barrymore

Jessica said...

Okay so I'm not gonna lie. I totally didn't see at first what you all are seeing. The hand on the shoulder and the apparent (now) hand going under his left shoulder. I first noticed Drew's shadow. I thought it was weird how her shadow arm looked as if her hand should have been in her packet instead of on his arm. I think the shadow would have looked much different. But yeaaa.... shame on this photoshop person! FOR SHAME!!!!!!!

Max said...

"MAC GUY!" (snort, giggle)

Okay, is she even looking at him, or some point beyond his ear?

ocnusmaxica said...

whats with the mount rushmore type face sticking out?!?! heysoos
