There was some shitty DTV Lizzie Borden resurrection movie a few years ago. I can't for the life of me remember the title, but I can say that this movie looks even worse judging from the poster.

Edit: Duh. The Curse of Lizzie Borden. Blech.

Is it bad that my first thought was "you mean that girl from the Simpson's treehouse episode?"

Was more thinking of this:

Oh, I know. I just love Martin Prince as Lizzie. "Forty whacks with a wet noodle, Bart!"

This...



...says, "Oh my God, my parents have left me on my own and some baddies are breaking in!"

Whilst this...



...says, "Oh my God, those shoes are just to die for."

"Why do I look like a girl?!"

That's NOT a girl? I honestly thought this was a Next Karate Kid-type scenario.

Why am I not surprised to find Malcolm McDowell among the cast?

An actor must eat.

It's not the way we're used to seeing silent films packaged, but there's nothing really bad about it.

I dunno, the yellow looks more like urine than sunshine. And I think they've tried to digitally tweak O'Brien so he looks like Ryan Gosling.

All that yellow was a natural choice because the title of the film is Sunrise. They could have made it even better by putting a sun in the corner like a kid's drawing.

Seriously, though, if it weren't yellow it probably would have been blank white. I've yet to understand this recent mania that the big studios have for Blu-ray covers showing the actors surrounded by an infinite white void.

And a stoned Ryan Gosling, at that

Can I just remind people what a genuinely bad DVD cover looks like?










All from the previous iteration of this thread. Y'all need to lift your game!

Are you kidding? So many more people (including myself) would have seen that film if that were the actual DVD cover.

Bootleg Breaking Bad, just brilliant

Similarly, from an actual Shanghai movie theater...

That looks like a better movie.

If that is a genuine release it looks like a Thor/Loki slash fiction version.
