That's right, yet another version of Billy Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is upon us, because the 17 years since we saw Leo DiCaprio and Claire Danes stare deeply into each other's eyes and head to Poundtown was deemed simply too long for any normal person to bear.
You know the story: Boy meets girl, boy's family and girl's family aren't really into each other, everything comes to a head wherein each dramatically commits suicide. Fun for the whole family. It's a little absurd. If they're waited, like, five minutes, all this double funeral nonsense could have been avoided. Kids. But we (of course) had a thought: How willing would Hollywood's (and one Wikipedia) Romeos actually be to commit suicide for love?
Come along with me as I judge the answer to that ridiculous question based off of wholly irrelevant and ridiculous observations of jpegs.

Seems like the marketing guys at Warner Bros fancied a half day off if the ‘concept poster’ for Clint Eastwood’s J Edgar biopic which was sent in to Joblo.com by A. Nonymous Tipster is anything to go by. As you can see, the concept is Leonardo DiCaprio’s head, he is the lead after all, but where have we seen it before?
Not just a picture like it, but this exact picture, albeit at a jaunty angle, in Inception. See the full poster and the original use below. Time for a game of spot the difference.
…and the original;
Of course it won’t be the end product, it is only a ‘concept’ after all. However, it would save a few of the pennies blown on the woeful Green Lantern if it were used.
