Some of you guys are ridiculous, nobody ever "demanded" any cartoon shorts, nor that the cover be "fixed". Almost every single post I've made in the past few months has been Sony-related in some way as there's not much else activity around these parts thanks to the dormant state of the other studios. Almost all of these posts have been praising Sony's efforts and releases.
This is a forum which is unique in that it allows us to communicate with many of the studio staffers involved in bringing these releases to the public, and as such we're able to offer feedback, both positive and negative when it's warranted. This cover sucks and it's as simple as that; criticism warranted. I never said I wasn't buying the set because of the ugly cover, frankly it's my most anticipated release of the year next to the New Hollywood Collection!
It's called constructive criticism and those of you who refuse to recognize or acknowledge anything but the fact that this studio is releasing classic catalog titles in an otherwise barren environment for DVD consumers are acting like a bunch of mindless sheep and comments like "less moaning and more applause" are not only silly and outlandish, but do not nothing than serve to illustrate that the members of this forum are timid simple-minded followers and product consumers...
I will voice my opinion when I think something's great and I will do the same when something is not. This cover is not. This set is. It's as simple as that. Sony has a habbit of producing some awful cover art and most, including those studio flag wavers, would agree. Visit any other online DVD forum from the Criterion boards to DVDTalk, the Classic Horror Forum and any number of others - you will find similar comments and a general consensus. Is it the end of the world? No. Is it something that will deter any of us from purchasing Sony product? I hope not! Is it something that needs to be? No, not all. It cheapens the overall quality of a fine and top-notch package. Now for the record, my comment was a passing opinion adn YOU'VE all drawn this out and made it a bigger deal then necessary, but why not... Sony should be able to produce better. This one happens to be especially cheap looking. Now that's my opinion and I'm standing by it.
Good night.
