That site uses the same colour scheme as many movie and game posters: http://www.slashfilm.com/orangeblue-contrast-in-movie-poster...

I'm curious how the poster even found that page?? I'm sure it isn't a link from a main source. Not to say that it should exist at all. It's horrendous. Or... is Apple just so far ahead in design that this controversial use of color will soon be considered the epitome of modern technology design?

I would imagine this is far from the finished product, considering it's a summer movies page and it is currently January..

Given the collection of 2011 movies, the site probably used to look good in 2011. Maybe some CSS or templated HTML changed out from under it?

Very good point.

I think this is very poorly executed, though: http://f.cl.ly/items/0J460z2l423e0N180d2l/Screen%20shot%2020...
