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.

What's that thing Katie's holding? A beer bottle? A gun?
It *was* a gun, now it's a walkie talkie

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.
