I've been meaning to watch Kingdom of the a Spiders for over a year now and keep forgetting. Thanks for the reminder.

Looks like a 70s Shatnerian Eight Legged Freaks. That is something I did not know I even wanted until just now.

Kingdom of the a Spiders is not a very good movie. It has it's "so bad it's good moments" but mostly it's just sort of boring.

I like it, but it's very 70's and a little more downbeat at times than a spider invasion flick should be. Great if you like watching Shanter save a five-year-old girl by hurling her around like a football.

I will admit when I watched the movie drunk with some friends, we rewound and watched that scene like 20 times in a row. The best part is he picks her up away from spiders and just sort of throws her onto some more spiders.

Am I tripping or is there another Jedi poster with the exploding Darth Vader head but he's crossing two light sabers over his head? I think it might be a Japanese poster.

You may be thinking of the original "Revenge of the Jedi" poster:  You can still find these in some US Lowes theaters.

Kingdom of the Spiders was pretty bad, but it made for a neat Rifftrax. Very old-school MST3K.

So MGM is celebrating their 90th anniversary with special edition Blu-Rays with (you guessed it!) special minimalist covers! You can see them all here, but here's a few that I felt "deserved" to be highlighted, usually because their existing posters didn't need to be improved upon or the minimalist execution was just too hacky:         And finally, my "favorite":  Why yes, that certainly is a road leading to a house.

It's not bad, but there already is a minimalist Saul Bass poster for the movie! (Not his best, admittedly.)

My biggest problem with those covers (and all minimalist posters really) is that they all convey the same amount of emotion and energy, zero. Is it an action movie? Horror? Comedy? Who cares, here's a sedate reference to something about it.

I laughed out loud at the Dances With Wolves one, because removed of any context or emotion, it just looks like Costner is a kid on a horse going "Wheeeeeee! Fly, horsie! Fly!"

If I had never seen Dances With Wolves, that DVD cover would tell me it's a movie about the special bond between a grown man with a child's brain, and his closest friend in the world, a camel.

It just feels like so much It's not even that they took an iconic image, they too part of an iconic image and removed it from it's iconic context. It's really is just sort of lovely It also simplifies a Dali painting which is just sort of weird to look at.

Chiming in that the West Side Story one is the only passable one. I'd even say that, as far as updating an iconic poster, it poses a pretty significant challenge to the original advert. I wouldn't mind at all if that became the new default home video image. It tells you everything you need to know about the movie.

What no one has told you is that they are essentially slip covers and the real box art is underneath... it's bad, but not as bad as it could have been.

That explains why some of them (Silence of the Lambs, Usual Suspects, and apparently Platoon) are basically less interesting versions of the actual posters.
