The fact that Carlin is looking right at Larry King's quote while making that face is pretty damn funny.

I think this takes the cake. I want a movie? Look a giant head! Johnny Depp. OMG. Sucks.

Edit: I think this is unanimous that dvd covers with the actors faces on the cover are cheesy and just a marketing ploy. Also, sorry I couldn't find a giant dvd cover for Secret Window.

I hate the "normal" cover to Videodrome, but fucking love the criterion cover, which says much more about the film than the "normal" cover which signales bad horror flick.
But on the other hand it's kind of cool, this one, when one has seen the movie!

Long live the new flesh !

EDIT: Two things to note.  The cover people photoshopped DeNiro's mole out (similar to how the Garden State people photoshopped Portman's lil dots out), and Ben Stiller's arms are glowing.

Yep, anytime a director has to put his face on the movie's box to draw your attention because the words "Kevin Smith Presents..." aren't straightforward enough, you know it's gonna suck.
