I saw the artwork for Kill Bill 2 and I thought it sucks.
The same thing for Master & Commander.
Why couldn't they use the movie poster artwork where she is wearing a wedding dress and holding the sword?

a big YES! to original artwork
Since i've been a collector of VHS for a long time, I do miss seeing the original artwork. Mgm is bad at this. They almost always change things and they end up looking ugly.
Big
to anchor bay & blue underground for either not changing the artwork or including it as a bonus insert.

original artwork is usually always better...so yes, I'd prefer that. but since all I really see are the spines 99% of the time, I really dont care.

I don't really care one way or the other, as long as it looks good. There's a lot of crappy original art out there.
Master & Commander standard edition didn't have great art but the special edition was terrific.

whichever looks better. in the case of Lost in Translation, I would've been happier the scarlet johansson/tokyo movie poster as the cover of the DVD

I have to say, the cover art for the Matrix Revolutions DVD sucked. I would have rather they picked one of the four pictures or made four different covers and you pick which one you like best. Either way it doesn't matter much, the movie wasn't very good.

The worst offender with this is Disney animation. They have some beautiful poster art, yet most of their DVD covers are terrible.
Another batch that comes to mind is MGM's James Bond discs. There was some really cool artwork on their posters. Why didn't they use them instead of a cheap cut-and-paste job?
