Yes, that is awful, specially with 'two thumbs up!' grinning away beneath it. Critcs' soundbites in promotion, particularly trailers, is bad enough, but even worse on products.

I like the poster for 25th Hour, how can't they see the difference between that and this?

Well, I guess Spike Lee doesn't care at all about his fans...the thing is freaking awful.

I fucking love the PDL dvd cover now...at least it's original.

Thinking about it now, it would be easy to fix despite how bad it is...if they would just take the god forsaken BIG, HUGE Ed Norton out and let the nyc horizon continue to the left, leaving only the small Ed Norton right where he is...it would look pretty fucking cool. Not bad, huh? For someone who's never been in a computer imaging class or anything I mean. That would look awesome.

EDIT - take the fucking critic quotes off too...and make the title a little bigger to compensate for the removal of the giant Norton...then that is perfection. If somebody that's good with photoshop wants to do this, I actually kinda wanna see what it would look like...only if you want to.

If only all DVD covers were either sphinx or criterionish. Something that would be funny if a dvd came out with only critics quotes and awards on the cover just layered on top of each other so you couldnt see anything.

they might as well have gone all the way and showed the way his face REALLY looked like on his final car ride to prison.  it's like they photoshopped most of the bruising and cuts, and just left all the swelling.

oh well. i'm probably still gonna buy it.  great fucking film.

and speaking of dvd covers (you probably have already discussed this cover), check out Auto Focus.  personally, i think this cover will detract people who know nothign about the film to actually pick it up and rent it.

:(

I myself am partial to the barebones edition cover where it's the kiss rather than Sandler's face.

I like the Brokeback poster a lot, although it's kinda obvious. a few months ago I would've challenged anybody to get the original DS poster for under $70. I was finally able to grab mine for about $60.

Nope, I don't think so. The idea behind the big face is that the persona of the star is recognizable. In Election's case, Witherspoon was neither a star, nor is she even recognizable. Just a big face, the persona of the character.

all i was saying was that it was the giantest fucking face. not being a marketing decision shouldn't disqualify a face from being fucking giant.

I've seen it, it's kinda great. goes wonky the same way Network does with the liberation army at about the halfway point. It's a heavily political movie and the "hi, mom" is referencing the age old shout out that people say when caught on live camera.

It's raw de palma, raw deniro. it's a super sloppy movie but you see how both the actor and director were fuck the system at the time. so punk rock, you should check it.

That dvd cover is one of those made 40 years later to sell the movie to deniro fans kinda things, here is the original poster:
