Someone on DVDcoverart.com actually spent some time on this... ack!

tqpix · 08-31-2003, 05:22 AM

Haven't seen the movie, but that is a pretty good coverart.

No! It's not! It's a Five Star edition of fucking Broken Arrow! Argg!

It doesn't even have one Special Feature for God's sake!

mtcarmel00 · 08-31-2003, 07:07 AM

Wow! That is terrible. Someone has a really bad case of wishful thinking!

...but, it has "Interactive Menus"! And the "Original Theatrical Trailer"!

And THX Mastering - oh, no, wait, that's just a left over from whichever cover this was ammended from.

Funny though.

Haha, a 5-Star Collection of "Broken Arrow"? I've not seen the movie but I've heard it's really bad and would never get a 5SC.

Doctor_Mabuse · 08-31-2003, 04:23 PM

No one is forcing you to use it. IMO alternate cover art is all about personalization. The site you were refering to IMHO goes overboard in demanding absolute perfection. I think they have lost site of the "hobby" aspect of alternate cover art. I'm guessing that a supporter of that site will offer a differing opinion & perhaps say something about me.

MooglePorn · 08-31-2003, 06:34 PM

Well my main point was that there is not one special feature on it, so who would try to make it a 5star? There's Abyss 5star art on that site, and that's actuall cool, but Broken Arrow?

Jellodyne · 08-31-2003, 06:58 PM

Hey, some people grade on a five star scale, and some people grade on a 100 star scale. As in: Broken Arrow rates 5/100 stars... sounds about right!

Doctor_Mabuse · 09-01-2003, 12:17 AM

I made up a 5 star version of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" because it was fun & because I just wanted to.

videoworx · 09-01-2003, 01:25 AM

oh, Broken Arrow is cool, in an Under Siege 2 : Dark Territory kind of way...

that cover art is goofy

So let's see it...

georgep · 09-01-2003, 02:32 AM

Hey, personally I would pay $20 for a 5-star version of "Broken Arrow."

As long as it was the 1952 Jimmy Stewart/Jeff Chandler/Debra Paget version.

Otherwise, no.

Yea, I submitted a few I thought were good and they rejected every one of them.

Lo Pan · 09-02-2003, 02:01 AM

I've just started to make my own covers, and no matter how happy I am with any given title, I won't submit them to a site. I like to personalize them in ways I doubt anyone but me would be interested in**...but isn't that exactly the point of personalization?

**Such as Minority Report having nothing on the cover but the Pre-Crime logo and the title. I tend to like covers having as little information as possible. I hate all that "Two Thumbs Up" crap, or "Super Deluxe-O Edition" That's what the back cover is for.

Indeed that is the point Lo Pan!

I think a lot of people would like that cover... I love covers that are simple like that, even just a logo like Criterion's "The Rock" set...

Moonraker · 09-04-2003, 05:54 AM

Why bother with Broken Arrow 5 Star Box? It truly boggles the mind why someone spent time on this.

I do like TDTESS 5 Star Box!

I thought the big portrait of Gort was what made the cover interesting. It was a just for fun effort.

This author probably used the same rationale as me, it was just for fun & because he wanted to. Jeez take it easy on the poor guy!

I've had the same experience. DVDCoverArt.com have a weird judging system -- reject all submissions except from their friends.
