Pun intended.

That ship doesn't have much in common with the Titanic... which for starters, had four stacks.



Anybody else got an ideas what was going on in the art director's mind? Maybe it was an ubertight deadline and the guy was lazy and just whipped something out.

Is the giant finger supposed to be "the user's" finger ordering a movie on his iphone?

I'm going with a bad take on the Titanic angle. Still, doesn't really make much sense.

I would say that that is the message. Their legal probably told them that Cameron might claim copyright on a 4 stack moonlight Titanic image, so they lost 2 of the funnels.
