ETA: I forgot this! After the movie went back to the 36-hour backfill, I had a hard time getting back into the jazzy Robert Downey patter because I couldn't stop obsessing on the huge glaring error on one of the magazine covers. They actually had Business Week using "takes the reigns" on their cover. BW would never make such a huge, stupid editing error. Ever. I just couldn't believe that a major movie would do something like that. And why haven't they fixed it, after all these months in release? Idiots.
Oh, good. Wasn't just me, then. :-)

It doesn't surprise me that they haven't fixed the film prints since the release... I imagine it would take a considerable amount of effort and cost a ton of money. The same thing happens with books: once it's gone to press, you generally live with the typos and wait for the next edition, rather than recalling the entire printing.

It'd be nice if they fixed this on the DVD, though.
