Ok Hollywood, enough's enough...

Full screen?!?!... seriously, wtf are they thinking?!?!?

[Suprmallet]

I agree. Why are they still selling full screen versions of The Bourne Identity? It's 2008, for chrissakes!

Edit: Damn, beat by a minute!

[Pistol Pete]

I agree. What kind of collector purchases the full-screen version of a movie?

(missed it by a hair!)

[Seantn]

Full screen!?

(I was first to post this joke! Woo-hoo!)

[KillerCannibal]

Widescreen! Now all of your posts are useless. Useless, I tell you!

[cardsfan111]

I think you folks are missing the OP's point. It's obvious that The Hades Factor's cover art was ripped off by the folks who did The Bourne Identity. You would think the people at Universal would be more creative. :rolleyes:

[RichC2]

But the colors are OPPOSITE!!

Yeah they seem to like Bourne covers.

I think you missed the OP's real point, Bourne in Full Screen? When will it end?!!

[lamphorn]

While we're at it, I'm completely sick of heist movies. Sick of them. I just don't care about a bunch of assholes (even if they DO wisecrack) who are planning to rob somebody.

Those stupid Ocean's movies tried to make it like they're robbing a "bad" guy, but fuck it, a boring movie about a bunch of guys hovering over blueprints is still boring. Even if they DO wisecrack.

[RichC2]

But The Bank Job had nudity! Glorious glorious Nudity!

Oh my God!!!
Mira Sorvino, excuse me Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino, what has happened to you.
Where did you go wrong.
I told you to stop hanging out with that Cuba Gooding Jr.

too late!

[Larry C.]

Shameless...

[Daytripper]

too late!


Yeah, by like, 10 years (?)

[GenPion]

I, for one, thought that Covert One: The Hades Factor was brilliant and even more action packed than The Bourne Films COMBINED!

Oh wait, never mind. I never even heard of it before! Silly me.

That cover art was copied for sure. That's awful. Especially considering I didn't even like The Bourne Identity cover art to begin with!

[DRG]

Hey, they are both based on Robert Ludlum works, so it's okay! ;)

[shizawn]

I always thought Stephen Dorff was a bit of a Streisand, but he's rockin the shit in this one.

[Drexl]

Well, they'll have to use a similar cover if they ever make a movie about Public Enemy.

[TomOpus]

Maybe we need to resurrect the Tom Cruise "profile on the cover" thread.

There's another one that looks exactly like the most recent Gone in 60 Seconds coverart... cant think of what it is though.

Also, someone had a the same great idea and threw together several youtube videos:

Some of these covers are obviously that way on purpose, especially when it's a lower budget movie or a direct to DVD movie trying to capitalize on the more successful box office counterpart.

They almost got me once. Once.

It was this:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fqt8nUmbL._SL160_AA115_.jpg

Saw this in a store. It caught my eye because I was wanting to see the DePalma movie, but was a bit surprised because I thought that it had just been released theatrically. (Though the older I get, the faster time seems to pass.)

Upon closer examination, I didnt' see Hillary Swank listed among the cast, and also that it was not directed by Brian DePalma.

Compare to the "real" version of the movie:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/417-gQuKKqL._SL160_AA115_.jpg

Both have the same title (as its based on a real murder case, I assume it's public domain and difficult to copyright and trademark), and both have a goth chick on the artwork with Crow-lines at the corners of her mouth.

I very nearly bought the damned thing.

These guys (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/523480-asylum-dvds-dont-they-get-sued.html) are infamous for it.

How dare they try to confuse the elderly buying films for their grandchildren!

I think you're missing the point behind the responses ;)

Nah...I understood the sarcasm from the initial posts, and just responded with some myself. Only without the appropriate smilie. ;)

[joltman]

I remember there was some film that had it's cover look like a Lord of the Rings movie, right down to the orange-ish hue. This was a couple years ago, I can't remember what it was...
EDIT: Found it, I remembered Beast was in the title and searched on Amazon: Blood of Beasts (http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Beasts-Etienne-Changuion/dp/B000AQOHMG/ref=sr_1_143?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1221736784&sr=1-143)

[Yeti4623]

Man, those covers suck. Remember the good old days, when the covers were sometimes better than the movie?

[Brian Shannon]

I've never watched a cover before, perhaps we need a cover review section.

[rexinnih]

Actually she was the first thing I noticed also.

Somehow I can't envision Vincent D'Onofrio as a romantic lead. And that's not an insult, by the way.

[GoldenJCJ]

^ I haven't seen Happy Accidents yet, but judging by that cover I'm assuming the plot revolves around a beautiful young woman falling in love with a mentally challenged man.

Always with the Method Acting, that guy.

I only remember ripoff covers or "floating head" covers.

"Better covers" are a extreme rarity.
