Worst DVD Covers...ever! (Part 4K)

[DarkImbecile]

Which (decidedly modern, non-1962) skyline did they add to the background there?

[Big Ben]

If we're talking bad then how about his? To be added to the "Dying of an Illness Genre".

[Never Cursed]

An Amazon exclusive:

[Big Ben]

What the hell? This looks like something I would have made in Middle School Art class. Wood carving and the like.

[soundchaser]

Open Photoshop

Filters>Emboss

And now to wait for the Blu-Ray.com folks to send me their collective wallet.

[Boosmahn]

It isn't even embossed, which is what I thought they were going for here.

[MongooseCmr]

That may be the only appropriately homoerotic thing about the whole film.

[Monterey Jack]

If we're talking bad then how about his? To be added to the "Dying of an Illness Genre".

Reminds me of that ghastly "Fun & Flirty" DVD edition cover for 13 Going On 30 from fifteen years ago.



Love how the oversized novelty lollypop is floating in space between Garner's fingers.

[mfunk9786]

What's the deal with Jason Reitman movies and terrible covers?



Just to refresh your memory:

[domino harvey]

I thought that was temp art!

[mfunk9786]

Even the cover for Young Adult is a better idea than it is in execution, and still features that unfortunate trademark windowboxing thing:

[domino harvey]

Oh c'mon, that and Juno are fine, and the others are just uninspired, not bad

[mfunk9786]

It's much better than the covers above, but that doesn't answer why he's (I realize he isn't designing these, but that makes this an even stranger coincidence) so in love with putting an image in a box with color (or white) around it

[domino harvey]

We need a ::kogonada essay to explore this deeper. "We see an image boxed in. But what are screens but boxes of images? Walls. Sides. Boxes. Image inside. Walls. Sides. Boxes. Image inside."

[colinr0380]

I'm afraid that I can only hear that in a Mark Cousins voice.

[domino harvey]

How did we all miss the first two Word Wars?

[swo17]

I can't believe using "it's" as the possessive form won out

[DarkImbecile]

Also, the ellipses after the question mark in the tagline

[bottled spider]

Are they trying to market this as "family friendly"? Or are they trying to market it as a '70s exploitation film? Or are they, in the creepiest possible way, aiming for both markets at once?

[swo17]

Also, the ellipses after the question mark in the tagline

For the record, I'm glad we went to war over this. We can't simply let this aggression stand

[DarkImbecile]

The greatest causes require the greatest sacrifices

[mizo]

How did we all miss the first two Word Wars?

Sounds like somebody's a Minutemen fan

[Monterey Jack]

^ Is that Mary Elizabeth Winstead on the cover...?

[Swift]

Not sure, but certainly looks like Pierre Trudeau doing his best Putin impression.

[Cremildo]

The Apartment is getting a DVD re-release here in Brazil and this is the art they came up with...
