Worst DVD Covers...ever! (Part 4K)

The Secret? Dare to Dream!

[swo17]

There's apparently a colon in there. I just looked up what the secret is. It's pretty dumb.

The secret to colon health? That actually sounds pretty important

[bottled spider]

The most popular review on letterboxd explains pretty clearly what the movie is about:

In my attempt to make David Lynch sick by thinking mean thoughts about him landed me in the hospital due to a fairly damaging seizure. I was in the hospital for 3 days only thinking a happy thoughts about me and stealing any sort of medical equipment I could find and I have about two bags full of medical equipment now. Tonight I am back home and I will hook up all of the hospital tools and start thinking negative thoughts about David Lynch again. The 3 days should have rested me and tonight I will use these heartbeat monitors and toilet things to have extreme negative energy.

They should have added another 16 on the right side to balance things out.

I declare you the winner of this thread.

Looks exactly like every deodorant ad I’ve seen on the subway

[Brian C]

Yeah ... even that tag line reeks of fragrance ad.

[colinr0380]

Or a 90s Diet Coke ad.

Ralph Bakshi’s Drive

[domino harvey]

How are these studios so bad at this?

[flyonthewall2983]

Both of these covers might be custom jobs, since there's no official announcements for either yet, just rumors from very reliable (apparently) sources.

[therewillbeblus]

There has been enough great artwork done for Drive, within the first year or two post-release alone, for no one to ever need to go shopping for a new design. This may actually be the only bad one I’ve seen. I’m convinced there is some kind of blind dart-throwing Wolf of Wall Street gag among execs to result in these picks- nobody who literally gets paid to make decisions on advertising can have this poor taste, can they?

[knives]

I think if you took away the Bakshied Gosling it is a good cover.

[Cash Flagg]

I don’t see munch wrong with it, other than the fact that it apparently says Collectible Steelbook directly on said steelbook.

[Luke M]

Famous Ukrainian, Edvard Munch.

[domino harvey]

It’s kind of a funny idea (though more than a little well-worn already), but I was under the impression the film wasn’t exactly a barrel of laffs

[flyonthewall2983]

Here's the actual cover. Better but much worse than the Blu-ray cover since the heads are a little too big for their bodies



I seem to remember there were some good candidates for this on the fake Criterion cover thread.

[aox]

That is genuinely one of the worst things I have ever seen, especially when the context is considered.

[flyonthewall2983]

Not a cover, but Roger Waters: Us + Them is a very lightweight cardboard envelope, the size of a postcard. I saw it while at a record store recently and was shocked at just how simple it was.

[flyonthewall2983]

Didn't The Police put this out in 1981?

[Orlac]

I like it!
