Seriously, were those spider-man covers made in paint? I'm pretty sure the background is the default bright blue. So jarring and so :effort: at the same time.

Croisquessein posted:

Those character posters could work if they came off as Warholesque but they just look like bad colorization of a black and white photo.
I initially thought that they may have been going for something like that, as a nod to the original 60s Dark Shadows soap opera which was in black & white for its first few seasons and known for its weird special effects and sloppy production. Would be pretty odd to have an obscure callback like that as part of the main advertising campaign aimed at a general audience though.

Individually I do believe. Also one of the features of each movie is that it comes in "collectible O-Ring packaging".

I have no idea what the gently caress that means but honestly it terrifies me.

Still terrible.

Edit: ah caught! V V

A little more digging seemed to imply that the black was just a test, or pre-release or what have you, but that they settled on blue.

It's amazing how much better they looks. Still not exciting or anything, but not bizarrely incompetent.

I'd say (hope) the black is the final product.

The black does look better but they both look lazy as gently caress.

One would think that more effort would be put into a product being sold, let alone a COLLECTION of movies. One that people may have around for a long time to come.

I don't get what was so wrong with the original Spiderman DVD artworks. They where fine, why not re use them? The new ones look like a cheap tacky knock off you'd expect to find being released by Asylum when the new one comes out.

I don't understand this at all, because I own the entire Spider-Man trilogy on blu-ray that I picked up in a box-set for really cheap and it looks nothing like those ones. Why wouldn't they just stick with what they had when they saw what the end result of the redesign was going to be?

It's possible that the actual covers are shiny blue-black or some other effect that doesn't show in still images.

I would guess that the forthcoming New One is the reason they've changed the covers. Their poster design for ASM probably looks quite a lot like the ones for the Raimi movies. That's not a problem when it's a poster in a cinema because most cinemas don't keep retro posters on the walls, but it's a big problem when you release it for the home as it'll end up sharing shelf space with the originals. People may think the disc for the new movie is the old one that they already own or don't want.

I am ashamed to say it took a little bit of time to realize that the DVDs that kept saying "plus Ultraviolet" were NOT, in fact, giving away the lovely Milla Jovovich movie as some weird sort of "bonus."

Actually, a giant pacific octopus will gently caress your poo poo up. While slow to anger, if they do come after you they can easily drown you. Their intelligence really shows in that the few times they've attacked divers, they frequently try and pull the divers regulator out of their mouth. The big ones too will frequently attack and eat sharks.

Oh, I'm sure that's true, I meant the illustration of the octopus is goofy and unthreatening by movie monster standards. For something called "KILLERS OF THE SEA" I'd expect something a lot more pulpy and ridiculous, like:



Maybe not that over the top, but definitely more imposing and scary to make the stabbing more of an accomplishment. I guess it being a documentary made them tone it down a bit? The octopus got someone tangled in its tentacles but its simple features make it look adorably confused about the whole situation. :3:

Yeah, that one's about a young man who is a boxer who's going to make it to the top of middleweight boxing and is trained by Mr. T. Ernie Hudson's the villain who blackmails him or something and takes his sister hostage before the big fight (which takes place in the prison because the much coveted title is apparently being held by an inmate). It features Mr. T killing Ernie Hudson with his bare hands.
