The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

Awesome movie posters and home video covers are unfortunately for the most part a thing of the distant past. It boggles my mind that current "marketing" research has determined that movie-goers and consumers want images that are utter junk.

Easier to use photoshop than pay a great artisit to interpret your crappy films as something great. !

Thank the maker for the world of custom covers !

I'm still trying to get a refund on a couple of blu-rays i sent back in early May last year

That steel book kinda reminds me of this:

Yeah Zavvi Customer Service sucks so bad

Lol it is pretty similar

Another horrible cover

Yeah but what an amazing movie!!!

Still need to get that, A Better Tomorrow & Hard Boiled.

It's definitely a lost art form.

It's the same with older vinyl record covers and what's on CDs these days. Sure they're smaller, but you can still get great looking art on them, but most don't bother. I have some older CDs that have brilliant art on them.

Epic fail on the cover art !

THis is the stuff !

True, but unfortunately, that's the norm these days.
