Re: The wrestler= 4/21/09

Horrendously amateur and shitty cover art is now up:

I can't believe how much Fox dropped the ball on this release. Just a complete disaster. I will not support this release after how disgusted I am at the treatment is is receiving.

That artwork sucks. I hope there's a slipcover, or a UK exclusive cover, or something else other than that.

Re: The wrestler= 4/21/09

Does Searchlight even want anyone to buy this?

Going by that deplorable cover artwork and lack of any noteworthy special features it doesn't look like it.

Re: The wrestler= 4/21/09

eh, it still has The Wrestler on the disk. The extras and front cover mean nothing to me. BD shall be mine.

Re: The wrestler= 4/21/09

I liked the poster better, but I dig the DVD artwork as well... I'll probably skip the Blu-ray though... I would have loved to seen complete matches or maybe a Necrobutcher commentary track.

Re: The wrestler= 4/21/09

Why do they always have to screw with the artwork? The original poster artwork was perfect. Bunch of fucking dipshits, I tells ya.

Re: The wrestler= 4/21/09

I'm surprised at how negative the reaction is to this artwork. It looks similar to the poster, and it's not blatantly Photoshopped. I think it looks fine.

The negative reaction is because there was no need to change anything. The original artwork was perfect for the movie.

Yeah, but good artwork is good artwork. As a piece of artwork I have no problem with it in and of itself, it doesn't become crappy just because the poster was better. Given the number of truly terrible PhotoShop jobs out there that are just big heads and horrible fonts and messy and awful, this is fine.

Re: The wrestler= 4/21/09

I actually agree with you to an extent. As much as my post made me seem up in arms over it, at the end of the day I really don't mind this. It really isn't terrible artwork at all, but I guess I just really liked the original and thought it represented the movie a lot better.

The legs have a weird angle and it does look like a knock off poster cover of the film...it's just odd.

Re: The wrestler= 4/21/09

apparently,the "a Within the Ring" featurette is the same making of documentary found on the UK disc.it's a 40 min documentary.

US R1:
a Within the Ring featurette
The Wrestler Music Video which is written and performed by Bruce Springsteen
shit artwork

UK R2:

a Within the Ring featurette
interview with Micky Rourke (15 min)
OK artwork


i have to know what the HMV exclusive is all about then i'll decide.

sweet, now if only they could have maybe gotten Darron and Mickey to sit down for a commentary, or maybe Mickey's classic speech at the Indie Spirit Awards.
