    I heard they originally wanted "Got Salt?" showing Jolie in close up with the seasoning sprinkled over her top lip as she sucked a wedge of lime ---but then no one thought about the movie anymore. #angelinajolie

    For those who are truly curious...click below for the trailer from Hulu.

    I was disappointed. But really what's Jolie done in the last eight years worth talking about? Despite that Oscar fluke for just being her loony self, she's neck and neck with Aniston.

    I think it's great that they made a film adaptation of Kurlansky's cultural history tracing the use of salt through the ages.

    Ordinarily, a movie about how trade routes and salt's use as currency shaped civilization would be terribly dull, but I think Jolie will bring the necessary sex appeal that sodium chloride has lacked in more conventional Hollywood thrillers. #angelinajolie

    All the text on her face is pissing me off. Why does 'salt' have a 4,000-foot-high shadow all over Angie's 6,000-foot-high face?

    Jolie is not half as fascinating as the press and perhaps herself seems to think she is. This looks like her tenth bomb movie in a row. She's a creature of the tabloids now, not someone who gets people to pay, asses in seats, opening weekend. I actually sort of like her, but her tabloid fame is so out of proportion to anyone wanting to see her films in theatres.

    "Salt" is also the most boring, unimaginative, unappealing title I can think of. I'd prefer Pepper from Police Woman. #angelinajolie

    It's actually puts her front and off-center, which is totally fucking with my head. I have serious OCD issues, but still. To place such a perfectly symmetrical photoshopped face off-center is a blatant challenge to the viewer. Fuck you artists. #angelinajolie

    @FaceMelter: A perfectly centered face is generally not compositionally correct.

    Also, she's not photographed straight on. She's being photographed at something like a 1 degree angle. You can see that the muscles in her neck don't quite line up with her jawline.

    Christ, now I'm doing it!

    But seriously, this all has to be intentional. To me, it suggests some subtle movement. It actually reminds me of a moment in Solaris and a similar moment in Lost Highway when Bill Pullman and I forget the actress in Solaris slowly appear out of the darkness and into the frame.

    I think it's a nicely done poster. #angelinajolie

    This is the problem I have with the PC crowd - this sentence would be funny if it was ok to use the word "retarded". Instead, it's just ungainly. #angelinajolie
