In regards to the recent trend of adding self-referential descriptives to new, special editions of DVDs, I am of the opinion that, while momentarily amusing, these descriptives simply conrtibute to more poor and annoying cover artwork. I always prefer original theatrical advertising materials for use as DVD artwork; a simple sticker on the shrink wrap saying "Special Edition" or the like would be more than addiquate.
Should this trend continue, I fear that we may have to endure attrocities in the spirit of the following:
Chinatown: the big bandaged nose edition
The Godfather: the edition you can't refuse edition
2001: the star child edition
The Shining: the here's Johnny edition
Taxi Driver: you talkin' to me edition
Gone with the Wind: the edition you'll give a damn about
Casablanca: the eddition you'll play again and again edition
Psycho: mother's favorite edition
Midnight Cowboy: that stuff you like to swill edition
Network: the edition you can't take anymore
Silence of the Lambs: the fava bean edition
The Deer Hunter: the really long, long wedding edition
Mutiny on the Bounty: the yummy breadfruit edition
Easy Rider: the groovy dinner edition
Pulp Fiction: the gold watch edition
Unforgiven: the duck of death edition
If you're with me on this, please feel free to suggest further attrocities or to improve upon those above...
