I think this thread can be closed: this is definitely the winner. How the hell could something like this go into production? Just package it in a brown paper bag instead a la Zep's In through the Out Door

Jon Voigt, Chevy Chase, Pat Morita (i guess the Karate reference) why?

Directed by the incredible Bob Clark, who gave us wonderful treasures such as
Baby Geniuses 1 and 2, Rhinestone, Turk 182!, Revenge Of The Living Dead, and A Christmas Story.... (wait that was good)

Hey, at least the cover made me laugh. I bet the movie can't do that.

I don't know what is worst, the cover or Buena Vista blatant copycat of the GTA series of games motif.

This is the shit that MTV keeps producing. Another show of a 30 year old acting as kid with need of attention being completely unfunny and obnoxious.

Fruity Pebbles: breakfast's venerable Supreme Pontifex of Sweetened Rice Kernel Cereals... along with Cocoa Krispies.

Of course there's always the Monster Cereals. Anyone for some Boo Berry?

Dig that vintage box. Now those were the days when folks knew how to manipulate your fucking brain with bland imagery.

Which reminds me-- the best thing about PULP FICTION was that Tarantino slipped a box of the lost-- must be an episode of IN SEARCH OF.. devoted to it-- monster cereal into a scene's background.

Anybody remember what is was? There is COUNT CHOCULA, FRANKEN-BERRY, BOO BERRY... but there used to be a fourth one. And damn was it good. It was logoed with a werewolf--

you guessed it-- ahh... Image The great FRUIT BRUTE. I always loved his totally 70's striped overalls. Pure 70's product.

Is this a DVD or playstation 2 game? By the cover you will think is the latter.

That's actually a VERY bad cover... it takes about 3 days for your eyes to bump accidentally into the title of the film; the first law of composition is to guide the viewers eye through the path of the frame via a set of priority, and in advertising clearly the product name/logo is primary.

The art for the 2-disc R4 re-release of The Third Man is pretty dodgy. Besides the actual image, the big honking classification sticker is ugly.

Image

Its made even worse in person by the big 'Alan Jones [Right wing shock jock type] Recommends' sticker on the front. (Not visible in the above picture.)
