I like it. I think it's quite perfect, it has to be as it is to fit the concept. Ugly it is though.

Some very good covers but Ministry of Fear takes the cake for the month.

Actually, Ray Milland took the cake. That's how the whole thing started.

I've spent days trying to live with the cover art for Badlands and Monsieur Verdoux but I can't do it, they're just so terrible looking (awkward, either bad ideas or good ideas with really poor follow-through). To take two darkly comic and intelligent films and give them these covers is just painful. Maybe I'm just too close to these movies and too sensitive as they're easily a couple of my favorites. Will just have to brown bag them on the shelf.

Thankfully the world's ending so you won't have to suffer this horrible existence.

I'm no interior-decorating expert, but it doesn't seem a practical use of space to have shelves built to display the covers of your DVDs and Blu-rays.

Obviously you've never visited the forum over at Blu-ray.com.

I said the same thing about "In Through The Out Door".

Lack of Screenplay = Standard Blu-ray case. No Digipak.

The Tin Drum just looks fantastic. It even bests the already-fantastic art on the previous DVD.
