it's the little Misfits skull next to the word "to" that really seals the deal on that one.

that blurb's capitalization choices are just #-o
also let's not forget that the Godard pictured is from about 20 years before any of these films were made

It was simple enough to me - he must be wearing his magical sunglasses that allow him to see his future films on blank strips of celluloid.

I hope that's not flammable film stock.

This one stood out not for the (oh so mysterious) cover, but for the high-hokum of the tagline:
Then I went to the back of the Dvd and read the rest of the marketing ploy (it appears to be some sort of Power of Positive Thinking video seminar):

This is a phenomenal bestseller -- to those millions of disaffected who are looking for "the secret" to why their lives suck ass. My personal secret? I got one of these misdelivered to my mailbox. I opened the package and returned the still-sealed disc to a local B&M store and got a Criterion movie instead. Ah, the cleansing power of confession.Lemmy Caution wrote:I feel sorry for anyone who watches this or needs it, but (as with religion) if it helps someone, well great then.

Hah! You have to love Beethoven. Assuming that he did know all about this "secret," he must have disregarded every single part of it out of sheer spite.The Secret promo wrote:The new "extended edition" of this ground-breaking feature length movie presentation reveals The Great Secret of the universe.

Yes, but it is the one truly iconic shot of Godard, so what do you expect?domino harvey wrote:also let's not forget that the Godard pictured is from about 20 years before any of these films were made
Makes me wonder if someone will release a Malick set with this on the front, though...
Quite the cover that would be.

Studios aren't even trying to produce a decent cover anymore. I don't think that they are even hiring graphic designers anymore.

I think the studios are starting to recognise that bad covers get more press than good covers. Another marketing channel.

Damn, you beat me on the Barry Manilow Cover.
What a surreal nightmare that cover is. #-o

There are many reasons to hate that Barry Manilow cover (9 in fact), but it's grade A catnip to a Manilow fan.

Also in regards to The Secret, we got a copy in at work because tons of middle-aged women were requesting it and I had to turn it off as soon as there was some sort of cosmic genie telling me to write down my deepest desires.

One of my friends burned a copy for me, and after ten minutes... I burned his copy.

Seriously, what a load of hooey. The universe is organized according to the principle of "like attracts like"??? Apparently somebody's never heard of MAGNETS. =;
