Well, I guess my limitations in the English language rear their ugly head, because I've never heard of the game "shithead", so I'd never have guessed this one. Congratulations, Shornet!

Well I also never heard of the card game shithead before, but one can look it up on the internet I guess to see if shithead has some other meaning :wink: (at least that is what I did :lol: )

Finally, it's over! :) I was starting to spend way too much time on this.
Good challenge Alex, you got me hooked with it. It wasn't as devious as I thought it was, I just didn't think to google "shithead".
I'll try to come up with something similarly nice by tomorrow.

So far you've got me puzzled. I'm still searching the right connection between Angelina Jolie and the Solheimajokull in Iceland, but lets make a guess: Codename Iceman

Nope.
You are thinking too deeply about the pictures. The proper names associated to the two pictures are not important.
You should just think of what the pictures depict and also take into account the particularities of each picture. These are as important as the pictures themselves.
Searching the CASA database based on just what you see in the pictures, without considering these particularities, will get you nowhere.

Ok, maybe I'm being a bit too cryptic.
Here is a reformulation of the first clue, along with some more information:

Clue 1B:

Sometimes missing the forehead makes you better.

Obviously, it is Demons of the Deep.

Ohhh, so that's where Angelina been hiding lately ;)

Well, with the latest round of info, my guess is
Interface
"Face" is pretty obvious, especially w/o the forehead
"Inter" is both a play on words: Inter -> Into (the ground) and in the sense of "between" (as the images are split up between the lines).

How's that for a screwed-up explanation? :D

Unfortunately, both of you are wrong.

Jacob, you are getting closer to the correct answer.
However, your interpretation of the first picture together with the text clue is wrong, even though generally speaking you are thinking along the right lines.
Also the lines and the spaces have a different role than the one you thought of.

A gentle nudge in the right direction:

You should look for a very direct or literal interpretation to the lines and spaces in the pictures.

Crap, I just realized I may have misled you guys:

I said this is a wrong interpretation of the first picture together with the text clue. While this is true on the whole, I should have formulated it as:
"This is a wrong interpretation of the text clue".
Also I think the forehead is an integral part of the face :)

:lol: I was sure you found the right solution

although I think Jacobs explanation of the lines is rather good I choose a more simple solution :
behind the lines

I know, right? I think shornet is cheating ;)

Anyway, I'll guess Eclipse.

The lines divide the pictures equally. Both women have silly inflatable lips (which are not on their foreheads).

Indeed :) I wish I came up with this interpretation in the first place.

Both Eclipse and Behind the Lines are wrong.

Anyway, I'll say it again, the additions to the original pictures should be interpreted in a very literal sense.

Also, the answer you're looking for is a well known English idiom (slightly altered).
