Stallone in the remake of Victory/Victoria?

and this is the new cover seen in bargain bins across the US.

I think someone needs to stop eating Mexican food...

Damn, Gina! It's hottttt in herrrrrre!

Never have I heard such gratuitous use of the word "butane"

Stallone in the remake of Victory/Victoria?

Or an updating of THE MANSTER ...

It can't be good for a comedy DVD when it has to point out who the funny one supposed to be.

What I find hilarious is the Dallas Mavericks quote. So that means that the entire team likes it?

That cover for The Worst Witch is an entirely accurate representation of the way the movie actually looks.

That clip is incredible. I've seen better green screen technology on the local weathercast. Tim Curry does an awesome Stevie Nicks impersonation.

I think all DVD covers should write "The Movie" above the movie's title. That way no one's confused.

The Worst Witch was actually part of my childhood, though I'll go ahead and accuse my sister of being the bigger fan.

How have they not put Tim Conway's mugshot up at The Smoking Gun already?

Also, Halloween '09 movie selected.

This could make for some even worse confusion when the subtitle forces the title to be interpreted literally. Ahem:

Milk: The Movie
Sugar: The Movie
Clean, Shaven: The Movie
Traffic: The Movie

Would anyone ever watch The Science of Sleep: The Movie if they thought it was a documentary about napping? In fact, all of the above titles sound a bit like first grade class filmstrips, don't they?

The movie title is certainly appropriate for their cover design resources/go to market timeline.

That's got to be the busiest cover I've ever seen, and yet they made room for "white space."

Even the tagline looks like it was pieced together from several sources. What could "Caught in the game of power" possibly even mean

I think the cover is entirely appropriate. It is a disaster movie, after all ...

The cover of the new No Country for Old Men edition seems criminal, with that enormous Digital Copy logo across the middle. What's even the point of attempting a design that goes against the "big floating heads" marketing fallback, if they're just gonna add some low rent garish copy to it? Do people even actually use these digital copies for anything, or is just an excuse to up the disc count?

I really hope that the giant Digital Copy logo is just for the press advertisements and not on the actual cover. [-o<

I never realized how closely Felicity Huffman resembles Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs, or how much Tim Conway looks like Richard Simmons.

How appropriate that the Google ad underneath this thread is one of the worst Google ads...ever!



So frightening!

For some annoying reason, Buena Vista tends to put those horrible covers as promotional pictures for the DVDs and BDs they sell. They do that in almost every press release, online marketing and other stuff. The final cover will look less bolded than that.
