Seriously. Too many words. Most bigger than the actual film title. How many people are going to think this is called "Do You Have What It Takes?". Cute movie though. Out on 12/8.

Pass.

File under T for "testicles as a subliminal message".

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Thank goodness I don't buy movies because of their cover.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that there is a "Subject to Change" notice lying around somewhere.

Daytripper

I felt the same. Mainly because it's a stinkin' Nora Ephron movie. But several guy friends I know said they were dragged to see it by their wives or girlfriends, and that they didn't hate it. So I caught a matinee of it one day and really enjoyed it. Much more than I thought I would. Streep hits another home run and look for yet another Oscar nomination.

No way do they keep that cover. It's terrible.

WMAangel

Completely agree...there is NO WAY this will be the actual cover art....

scarface983

lol wow they mustve spent alot of time coming up with that cover

TheMovieman

That's what I thought the movie was called until I looked at the bottom.

Oh come on. You guys love those minimalist covers. Sure, the text being too big for that tagline sucks, but otherwise I don't see how it's the worst BD cover ever. If it was Criterion you'd be eating it up (pardon the pun).

whotony

Not subliminal at all, pretty clear what those are.

Even if it stuck, in no way would that be even close to the worst BD cover art. Groundhog Day has worse cover art, and that's just off the top of my head; I'm sure Echo Bridge or some other extremely-low-budget distributor has had a minimum-wage graphic designer wrest a worse monstrosity from Photoshop.

Additionally, I have almost no doubt they'll switch to this poster: http://www.impawards.com/2009/julie_and_julia_ver2.html

Alan Smithee

I've seen "Stripes" referred to as "I Want You" based on its cover.

Daytripper

At least "Groundhog Day" had the pictures of it's two stars on the cover. Bad pictures, yes. My point was, the casual shopper will walk right by this release as is.

Not too thrilled with that cover, but despite liking the movie, I doubt I'd be buying it anyhow.

PopcornTreeCt

I like the cover.

Skoobooz

That's not the cover...

cultshock

No huge floating heads of main actors on the cover = no sale.

Daytripper

So show what you have found then.

Numanoid

Are they trying to imply that Julia Child was a man?

Numanoid

Now you people WANT floating heads?! Cripes.

tylergfoster

Floating heads that aren't placed under the corresponding actor's name for no reason at all, plus awful Photoshop all over the place; icing on the cake would be if this art comes at the expense of a classic poster.

I was trying to remember Do You Have What It Takes and couldn't. My wife saw Julie and Julia and said it was pretty good. In any case it would only be a rental but yes it looks like testicles.

Daytripper

Um, no. I said at least "Groundhog Day" showed it's stars. Didn't say it was a great cover.

Again, from a MARKETING stand point, this was the worst cover I've ever seen. I'm sure it'll change.
