A derogatory term referring to the tendency in modern Film Posters and DVD cover art to have a black background with the faces of the lead actors above the name of the movie. Ubiquitous once the age of photo editing software came about, since it meant studios no longer had to commission an artist tens of thousands of dollars to paint a poster for them, when they could just take stock photos of the lead actor and have interns run it through Photoshop. A type of Contemptible Cover. When done with the Villain, it is Evil Overlooker. Often overlaps with Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You.
