I tried using the search function, but that did not work out well, so if a similar thread already excists, I will delete this and just copy what I wrote below into that one.
I still buy DVDs and Blu-rays, but I prefer the DVD artwork far more often, while 70-75 percent of the Blu-rays (that I have bought) have some of the most awful artworks that I have ever seen, and while whats on the inside that really counts and all, I still would like to have the full package. A great film with a worthy looking artwork, to stand in my movie collection, and not some damn freak show that looks like the work of a drunk 90 year old who has just done his very first piece of "art" while trying to learn how to use Photoshop.
There are a lot of victims out there, a lot. And I sometimes find myself being almost amazed at how gruesome the final result are, so anyway, I was thinking about starting this little "tribute" towards some of my favorite films that has gotten some the worst looking DVD/Blu-ray artwork/covers ever created.
Just an example (Yeah, I know it is not a horror movie, but damn these new DVD/Blu-ray releases that comes out every now and then, are the stuff of nightmares):
Groundhog Day (1993) is one of my favorite films, and every time a new DVD/Blu-ray comes out, it is one that looks worse than the other:
Look at this monstrosity.
I do not know what happened here, but from what I understand, Bill Murray has had several small "feuds" with his co-workers over the years, and he must have gotten on the wrong side of someone to have this getting the "thumbs up" while celebrating the film in 2008.
It looks like his face is about to melt or that he is struck with a stroke or something.
And then later on the fans are hit with another fine work:
Oh yeah, a lot of hours of creativity has been poured into this one.
Sadly, I have seen many similar classic films being treated this way.
This is not as awful/freakish looking as the one above, but could they have done a lamer/duller re-work?
The next time it gets a release, it will probably just be a white picture with the words, Bill Murray: Groundhog Day.
So what are your picks for "favorite" great movies with horrible artwork?
