Ocean’s Four

OK, this is one of the promo/poster images used for the (allegedly excellent) “Ocean’s 13″.

Something about that poster irks me immeasurably. Have another look and see if you can figure out what it is.

Got it? Well the title of this post is a clue, actually. It’s the dice in the top left corner. Someone has mentally tied together in their head the casino/gambling motif of the films with the titular numeral 13 and thought “Hey, thirteen is a one and a three – I can show that on the poster by using dice showing a 1 and a 3 on the faces. That would be cool.”

NO, YOU FUCKWIT. A 1 and a 3 on two dice makes FOUR. It always has and always will. You can’t just bend a convention like that purely because it fits the name of your film.

Twat.

Where am I?
