Directors DVD Cover Art: A Tournament (1 Viewer)

[Simon_Lepine]

Actually, I hate tins, so the Band of Brother packaging is a minus for me.

Still, I don't really like the art for Twin Peaks, so Band of Brothers gets my vote

 

[Lew Crippen]

Twin Peaks, but I'm not wild about either.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Poster art comparisons would be much more equitable.

Perhaps.

But, again, this isn't a "poster art" contest. As such, like Nick, I figure that we should consider a combination of both the packaging and artwork itself.

That's what I am doing anyway!

When I think of dvd cover art, I think of dvds that have great artwork despite not using theatrical poster art. Like most of the Criterion discs or something like MGM's The Fog.

Scott wrote in his initial post:

For the sake of this tournament, we can allow packaging and cover art to mean the same thing.

That gave me the impression that we were talking about the whole package.

Band of Brothers

Obviously I glossed over that point in Scott's post. My mistake. Since I've stated my reasons why I believe this approach is not equitable, I believe I'll excuse myself from this tournament. Perhaps I'm projecting my own preference for the multi-disc sets and their more elaborate packaging from an aesthetic standpoint. (??)

( I'm certainly not upset, and I hope this post isn't construed to impugn Scott or anyone else in any manner. Yeah, I know it is just another tournament and I'm not trying to make a big deal about this. Really. )

Cheers,
Walter.

 

[Scott Weinberg]

No problem, Walter. You're of course still welcome to participate!

Band of Brothers moves on.

Next Matchup:

I vote Toy Story

Scott, that isn't the cover art for the Kino DVD. The Kino DVD art can be found on IMDB, but I don't know how to copy an image over.

It may sound like sour grapes, but I think the Toy Story set has very weak "artwork". It's just pictures of Woody, Buzz, and the Alien, big deal. But then, I'm much more of a fan of classic poster artwork and what Criterion does, rather than just photos like the bulk of the modern stuff that ended up in this tournament.

 

[Brian Lawrence]

Which is the one I vote for also. I agree that the Toy Story art is pretty cheesy. Yes the overall package is kind of nice.

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Sorry! If anyone would like to change their vote based on Brook's actual choice (posted directly above this post), please feel free to do so.

Just make sure you mention that it's a "revote" so I don't mistakenly count your earlier vote.

The Blue Angel

I like that Blue Angel artwork a lot. But I have to admit, I like the Toy Story boxset even more.
