Why does Hollywood INSIST on putting actor's names above the wrong heads on movie posters? Is it a running joke or something?

That's the real conspiracy.

You have to put first the highest paid actor or something like that. I think it's a SAG rule.

to trigger OCD faggots like you. Hollywood hates OCD faggots.

The order of the names is part of the actor's contract. The people who make the posters are not the people who work out the contracts. The poster is made piecemeal and composited by a graphic design intern somewhere. The GD makes the whole thing minus text. When everything is worked out for advertising, the text is added with proper billing order and everything. But the rest of the poster was already completed.

I don't know about OP but I don't have OCD, this shit doesn't aggravate me. It's just blatant silliness to put someone else's name above their heads like that. I see posters like this all the time and they just make me laugh at how ill conceived their marketing is.
>>
>>79517530
because the main/best paid actor always gets top left space but for some reason the dumbshits who shoot the images for the posters don't take this into account
>>
>>79517530
in text the first name is considered more important
in pictures the person on the right is considered more important
>>
I've read it's usually some power play bullshit. "If I'm not on the left on the poster, my name has to be the first one people read."

I can see the appeal of his deadpan absurdism
But I also feel he hasn't been terribly good in years
