Apparently, someone really doesn't like O's, as the title is now The Lin in Winter, the designer having used
the heraldry symbol as a kind of graffiti to cross it out.

I think this is a gorgeous cover and a bold new take on the film that feels fresh. Don't see how this is bad in anyway, new artistic interpretations of existing texts should be championed, especially when they're in fact quite good.

It's obviously a very large nose-hair trimmer.

The weirdest thing for me is Hepburn's apparently disembodied head and near-invisible outfit – did the artist die midway through drawing her cloak?

If you can't interpret abstraction, this must seem weird indeed, but the idea is to suggest an unfinished watercolor, so her robe is just an outline.
The artwork is quite nice, the style looks like it could have been done in the 60s, only the fonts are ugly. Overall it's another perfectly fine cover that's far from "worst".

Lionsgate's steelbooks look even worse than the regular editions of their upcoming Tarantino releases.

I like the Kill Bill ones. I think they fit the aesthetic of the films. The Jackie Brown one just looks goofy, though. Like a Classics Illustrated cover.

I actually think these steels look pretty snazzy. FAR better than the awful regular 4K releases.

I didn't realize Tarantino remade Jackie Brown with Cecily Strong.

Ha! I saw there was a new post here and knew it was going to be that one. It looks like it will be a hell of a set, but Jesus, that artwork is terrible.

You can get a poster of it if you order the set from Shout's website.

The combination of the generic title and the cover not even listing a few films (there could be any blaxploitation film in the set for the unfamiliar buyer) included is the least of its problems.

As much as we all complain about AI "art", you just know someone got about fifty bucks for that on DeviantArt.

I like it because it looks like the kind of art style you see spray painted to the side of a liquor store.

I wonder what that means for the free poster from Shout's site?

I feel a little bad for the artist who made it. To do the work and be told it’s good only to have it ridiculed and then go unused.

It kinda reminded me of Ghana movie art, which I assumed was intentional. I’ve seen much worse covers in here at any rate

Even with the characters removed, i'd still throw the box away and just keep the movies on the shelf.
