Haha, I take back everything I’ve ever said about your inability to judge terrible covers. That’s hideous.

It’s better than the temp art, but only just barely

That's a steelbook release from the U.S. and Canada, and the one I posted on the last page is the French cover

I was hoping the steelbook for this would look good, but alas.

Tarantino's "Once upon a Time..." is cursed with bad covers... I mean, what are they leaning on?

I was gonna say, that looks exactly like what I'd expect for a Jackie Chan film cover

Am I the only one who often (but not always) sees just the word 'Image', and no actual image in posts on this site? I can see Dylan's JPG, but not Alphonse's below.

Alphone's pic is from Twitter, which may be blocked at your work?

I don't have any sites blocked (am on home computer), but I just double-checked and the image loads fine on Safari. So the issue must somehow lie with Firefox (my default browser).

i found this on Barnes & Nobles' site. The lower section has actually been cut and pasted from the current Criterion cover, same font, shadowing, etc.

Get rid of all the humans and the cover would be perfect.

I don't actively like it, no, I'm just indifferent to it. For some reason, you insist on repeatedly posting generic, unimaginative studio art, instead of the memorably bizarre, uniquely crude, laugh-out-loud oddities of the foreign or counterfeit variety that used to make reading this thread so much fun.

It makes me think of a new Kingsmen sequel.

You might want to go through the first few pages of the first part of this thread and re-acquaint yourself with the fact that shitty studio covers have always been a part of it since before either of us were here. Counterfeit covers from Chinatown bazaars are like shooting fish in a barrel, and they're often funny - but one thing I don't see you doing is posting anything of value in this thread yourself
