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.

Also, the dice are broken, because 1 and 6 should be on opposite faces, as should 3 and 4. Plus, if they photoshopped George Clooney any more, he’d have to become George Clooney.jpg - i mean, he’s SHINEY.
I was so irritated by the broken convention that I totally missed the fact that 1 and 6 aren’t opposite, and the same goes for 3 and 4 on the other die.
It’s as if it was put together by someone who’s never heard of dice before.
