The artwork. I haven't seen the film since it was first released on DVD. Didn't really care for it then, finding it fairly forgettable.

I kinda like it, actually.
The interior artwork should of been the cover.

That's a shame, The Fugitive Kind really looked like it was going to be a digipack.

A lot of the art on their upcoming releases is begging for digipack's. Oh well, it still looks great.

Any chance you can look up who designed it in the booklet?

Thanks. I had that suspicion, since he uses that typeface a lot. Really hope he goes into depth on this one.

That second disc for the Fugitive Kind is hilarious-- "Oh, there's a second disc? Well, throw some green shit on there, it'll match"

I thought only titles that were released in both formats got a "DVD Release" labeling?

Yeah, talk about a mismatch. They could've at least just copied over the same image from the first disc.

should *have* been.


sorry...but should of/would of/could of is a big pet peeve :)



And how many times has that been said here (i.e. the booklet art is better than the cover)? seems like you could say it about the vast majority of releases in the last couple of years.

You should go after people that use basically or essentially to begin a sentence and those who use the phrases "in order to" and "a number of".

Some of my pet peeves. :)

So basically, you're saying that a number of people infuriate you, essentially, by using perfectly acceptable English grammar in order to get their points across?

Bought White Dog, it has this weird (admittedly small) blue streak up the top where the ink starts to turn to red for the inside cover. ink errors like this common, or a specific fuckup? Just curious, yes I do have a little OCD
