Two very dodgy necks there - I wouldn't be surprised if this leads to a new contractual clause: "Neck approval" - where stars can check how weird their necks look when their lovely headshots are grafted onto new bodies of varying suitability. <b>I'm not criticising</b> - I could do no better. I just can't help but feel the pain of the designers involved when I see something like this. But at the end of the day, aren't we all being a bit precious - it does the job, doesn't it? I mean, not every film is after the same audience for <i>Pi</i> or <i>Adaptation</i> is it? So while all this is interesting to note - I don't think it really matters...but then does anything really matter? ...Oh no, I've gone all emo...Uma Thurman's neck has made me doubt the usefulness of my existence!...somebody, please make it stop!!!
