What's the oddest choice you've seen for a movie magazine cover?
Subject says it all, really... has there ever been a movie magazine cover that made you go "Eh? Why's THAT on the cover?", or in retrospect seemed like a very silly cover to use?
Going through my old copies of God-awful magazine Total Movie, I was surprised to see a cover with Piper Perabo - promoting Slap Her, She's French of all movies. This movie never even came out in America! Even if it did, it was still an odd choice - normally you'd see blockbusters or award movies.
There's several move mags that go against the grain - Hotdog used to, before they started putting "fine girl of the moment" on its cover - so I'm sure y'all can come up with better ones.

Insert "Dean Shriek" joke here.
I suppose Rolling Stone can count - they've done tons of movie-related features and Peter Travers is in the top tier of critics.

I can't really answer since I haven't read a movie magazine in a long time. By the time those magazines come out, all the "news" inside has been all over the internet for a month or more.
I did read "Movieline" faithfully for years, until one day they completely switched their format and became a "Good Housekeeping" clone.
