11 minutes into the movie Paycheck, starring Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman, Ben’s character looks at this newspaper headline. I should have shut it off at that point and watched something more entertaining, like C-SPAN2.
I noticed this the first time I saw this movie. I made my husband rewind it.
You watched it twice?
I hate you, kenny
I haven’t seen the movie, but is there any way it could mean “it is the answer” rather than the possessive?
My daughter (7 months) has a onesie that says “Nothings wrong – just testing you”. I keep wanting to draw the apostrophe on with a marker.
Hi Jenny —
Yeah, I tried rationalizing it the same way initially, but if you read the article, you can see that they are referring to Nexim’s “living display” as being the answer to ARC’s:
“Nexim’s living display was unveiled at the Nexim [obscured] tech expo this weekend [obscured]. It is Nexim’s answer to…“
Besides, no real copy editor would write a headline with all of that white space beside the word “Nexim.”
I hate when a multi-million-dollar movie can’t do the simplest of research to figure out how to write a headline.
No WONDER I fell asleep during that movie. Or maybe it was because I’d been forced to see the movie …
