Yes, I have the same problem with Safari, but not Firefox or Opera. The poster image is not a standard graphic as you can't copy and paste it if you want to save the image so I took a look at the underlying page code and came across some javascript which was written specifically to single out Safari and the rendered image's opacity. I assume they didn't test this code properly or there's something none- standard regarding the source image.

If you want to examine the suspect code, here you go:

// These are customized methods b/c the scriptaculous ones where throwing error. These should be re-evaluated at a later date.
    Effect.FadeItems = function(element) {
      element = $(element);
      var oldOpacity = 0;
      var options = Object.extend({
        from: element.getOpacity() || 1.0,
        to:   0.0,
        afterFinishInternal: function(effect) {
          if (effect.options.to!=0) return;
          effect.element.hide().setStyle({opacity: oldOpacity});
        }
      }, arguments[1] || { });
      return new Effect.Opacity(element,options);
    };

    Effect.AppearItems = function(element) {
      element = $(element);
      var options = Object.extend({
from: (element.getStyle('display') == 'none' ? 0.0 : element.getOpacity() || 0.0),
      to:   1.0,
      // force Safari to render floated elements properly
      afterFinishInternal: function(effect) {
        if(Prototype.Browser.WebKit) {
            effect.element.forceRerendering();
        }
      },
      beforeSetup: function(effect) {
        effect.element.setOpacity(effect.options.from).show();
      }}, arguments[1] || { });
      return new Effect.Opacity(element,options);
    };

Now this is weird. I clicked on this URL in Safari - and the gloria Swanson poster image is
shown as a negative.  I tried it in Firefox, and it is normal.

What's with that?

I don't think I've ever seen that before.
