What would they do? put a cd behind? That'd be stupid.

The probably didn't know it was a VHS tape and thought it was just a black pattern.

Why does IT have Tommyknockers fingers?

Because a galaxy far far away is actually hell.

it's a sewer tunnel you plebs

The real question is, why would you buy this piece of shit on blu ray?

>The Siege and Bruce Willis

Bad Blu Ray covers thread?

that moves bretty good tho

Actually it's a storm drain.

>I have nothing to contribute to Cred Forums so here's a random tweet from someone more interesting than me
Jesus Christ why is this place such a shothole?

...

It's a VHS tape. The original VHS release was supposed to look like Pennywise was ripping through the front cover of the box.

Thats stupid, the whole concept is stupid, why the fuck is pennywise 7 inch tall? the whole idea would only work on a man size poster

Maybe you should travel back in time to 1990 and tell that to the graphic designer that made the original box.

...

A what?

Probably because they can't be bothered masking out the fuzzy hair or be bothered shooting it again.

Still no decent gesture controlled web browser/os for me to wave my gorilla arms at.

Because Jay, they haven't updated the cover from the original VHS release.

Why would there be a man-sized VHS tape?

...

we're skipping that and going straight to vr or at least augmented reality.

This looks great though

Geez you're fucking retarded, dude. You couldn't even comprehend what he was saying.

Jay answered his own question. It's there because they haven't updated the cover from the original VHS release.

>vhs tape hiding behind the blu-ray cover
someone tell jay it's just a picture, and not actually a vhs tape inside.

...

You're a fucking retard.

Do you legitimately have autism?

Oh it's on

It's obvious the VHS tape is there because they haven't updated the cover from the original VHS release. Don't know why you would disagree with that.

Okay, you do have autism. Thanks for clearing that up.

>It's BLU-ray so we need to use a lot of BLU in it

Why do you think the VHS tape is there? Some sort of hidden symbolism? lol, it's there because they haven't updated the cover from the original VHS release

>what shade of blue do you want senpai?
>ever used the paint bucket tool in ms paint?
>say no mo

Wew, they spent all night on this one.

It's like a freshman's assignment. Freshman, like, 2 days at school, freshman.

Jay's first statement is pointing out that obviously the art hasn't been updated since the VHS release. His second statement is a question concerning the logic of what the art is trying to convey. The purpose of the VHS release is that it's mean to look like Pennywise is ripping through the VHS box cover. That doesn't make any sense when transplanted to a blu-ray. He's questioning the cover from the logic of artistic intent.

You're either trolling or you are legit autistic because literally nobody could have this much trouble comprehending something so simple.

>His second statement is a question concerning the logic of what the art is trying to convey
The logic is that they haven't updated the cover from the original VHS release. It's really that simple. They're not trying to convey anything by it. They just used the cover from the original VHS release.

How do you not understand that?

...

It's the tiny door that leads to Pennywise's lair you plebs

>nobody could have this much trouble comprehending something so simple.
says the goof that can't even understand that they simply just reused the cover. don't think so hard next time, not everything has a deeper meaning.

NOT THE REAL WORLD LOGIC, THE ARTISTIC LOGIC YOU FUCKING MORON

...

>Spider-Man 1
>Spider-Man 2 2
>Spider-Man 3 3

Turn off you capslock sir. What artistic logic? It's a reused VHS cover. Read this and take the "don't think so hard next time, not everything has a deeper meaning." to heart. They just reused it.

fags

There is no "artistic logic," you autist. That's the whole point. They just re-used the artwork from the VHS release, which renders the concept of the art kind of goofy and nonsensical.

Are they reversible?

reusing the cover was a practical decision, not artistic.

Welcome to 2003 OP.
This topic has been brought up years ago with the release of the DVD which was released in the early 2000s. People just now seem to be noticing it with blu ray release because VHS is much more dated in 2016 than it was in the early 2000s when the DVD was released.

This triggered me too

>you in charge of calling other people autistic

>"Hilarious"
>The smash-hit comedy of the year!

wonder how many people got tricked by this.

>[Sih-NECK-doh-kee]

Good, it's a horrible word and should never be used

>open up the bluray
>It Ain't Me starts playing

damn i've been saying [Syh-NECK-doh-tche] all this time

...

>tfw own the original two VHS tape set, the double sided DVD, and the bluray and have never noticed that

This guy for sure

how do you think movie theatres work you idiot

the same picture of spiderman is used in the three covers

Is this real? What the fuck?

Oh it's very real

...

How about just use the theatrical poster or some other image. Just because they went with that particular gimmick for the VHS release doesn't mean that they should carry it on across all subsequent home releases.

There was no theatrical poster. This was a made-for-TV miniseries.

These can't be real, they look like some amateur tumblr/deviantart shit like that retarded minimalist Blade Runner poster but worst.

Fuck that's the worse

just go on amazon and search for pop art blu ray and you'll find at least 20 pages of the stuff

Least bad of them all

Reminds me of this. People(retards) got angry because they thought it was an actually bootleg.

?

Kinda reminds me of that one webcomic.

>writable DVD has an R rating
It's great that they know you're gonna use it for porn.

Pennywise could change size dumbass

I worked at a Gamestop And Movies Too when this came out and we did actually get a number of people complaining about that one, and a few employees who were tricked too.

same story with this

fucking dead m8

Who the fuck gives a shit?

You can be anything when your parents are multi-millionaire New York Jew socialites with deep connections.

You do enough to post ITT

The fuck is a VHS?

it's one of those big old disks that came before the dvd

It´s a meme from Cred Forums original

>Cynic douche, New York
checks out

Cred Forums here, you guys are like babies. Come back when you have a DVD cover box with a picture of the box itself on it.

That's actually a big part of why I've never been tempted to buy blurays. I can't stand the blue containers. Like, with DVDs I could buy "fancy" releases with a nice design, but even "fancy" blurays almost always have that ugly blue margin at the top ruining it.

Their plan worked. I stole it and printed out the cover.

...

>only 1 game on box

Git gud.

...

...

God they didn't even try

Jim Carrey's in Apollo 13?

Why did they need to put a 1 on the first Spiderman?

looks like something my 13 year old sister would draw and post on Deviant Art, only they'd all be buttfucking each other

...

Because they found that the garish colours quickly ruined people's eyesight, causing them to need the giant numbers to differentiate between movies.

Oh, that makes sense i guess.

because it's the original art fucking retarded faggot. why would they change it for a movie that came out 40 years ago anyway. fuck you.

Because there is a theatrical poster which is the exact same thing minus the VHS behind it and it would have made more sense to use that.

>Member the 90's?

>tiny arm

This isn't so bad.

The movie was never in theatres

probably sold in a set. if you own all 3 it's nice to have them lined up like that.

Why is there a statue of liberty hiding on the cover?

oh great did it fit on the blue ray box? no? fuck off no one cares about this shit they just took the vhs art and put it on the blu ray box like they do. no one has time for thsi stupid shit.

when i would see this i thought it was for the movie tusk

i thought the rocketeer or some top gun jet fighter shit

Shit, that was my instant thought as well, and I haven't even seen Tusk.

>VOYADT

>Posting the big twist reveal on the cover

The VHS one doesn't fit either. What's odd is that I actually think it's a composite since the aspect ration on the VHS is distorted and yet Curry is not, which means that rather than just slapping the VHS one on it they actually had to consciously make this one which is more baffling.

Dude what twist reveal? It's obvious it's Earth if you watch them in the proper order! XDD

...

was getting me hard part of your masterplan?

most people don't care

>Weekend at Bernie's funny new sequel

>proper order
What? Are you memeing?

I think he means chronologically, which isn't a bad way to rewatch the series but definitely not for the first time.

Prequels to the planet of the apes now exist

underrated post

It's a joke about watching the prequels first. Like the Star Wars movies, where the Vader twist is ruined that way.

I think it's still a good cover. Scared me as a kid.

That's hilariously lazy it is a nice cover.
It's hilarious how studio professionals are worse at photoshopping than shitposters. I guarantee a few anons on here could make better covers within an hour.
Decent cover.
These are some of the laziest covers I've ever seen. They're X-Men: First Class tier shit.

What google didn't grow up with a dad who would do the vader voice and say "luke i am your father" any time they wanted your attention?
fuck, my dad was doing that for at least 5 years before i even saw the damn movies

REEEEEEEEEE

the Black/white stripe across her eyes don't make much sense

Wait you're telling me that Bill Murray isn't a long haired brunette woman? How have I been so wrong all this time. This shit is so confusing.

ocean's 12?

It says the name right in the cover in English you ponce.

This one isn't bad.

...

FUCKING HATE THIS REEEEEEEEEEE

Those hands look like they belong to two different people, neither one being Bill Murray.

We tried to be Criterion but fail miserably: The Blu-ray collection

>chronologically

In-movie chronology, shithead

Does this movie have the scene where the 8 year old boys run a train on the little girl in the sewer?

No. Maybe the shitty remake will allude to it.

No, and it wasn't a train, they all took turns.
>hear about that scene years before ever reading the book
>finally get around to reading it
>it's lame as fuck
>isn't even hot at all

>they all took turns
That's what a train is retard

>The monster is on the cover of the case

Gayness

That isn't the final form though.

To be fair it was such an iconic twist that they decided to spoil it for everyone also it's 50 years old.

>name album Steal This Album!

The thing that makes this even worse is that he's not even running on the blade.

That's not what a train is. Look it up little babby.

>children fucking in a dirty sewer
Sounds hot as fuck user.

nigga that movie is TWO vhs tapes. TWO

I still have em

still great

terrible movie, terrible cover. it fits

Post the bit from the book.

To be fair, they don't actually look quite that bad in real life.
The blue is a lot darker.
I have the first two, so I know.

google it. Not hard to find.

>blu-ray + Ultraviolet
Real talk, why the fuck was that movie packaged with fucking everything?

Carl Sagan vs US Congress after they cut the NASA budget: The Blu Ray cover?

>>writable DVD has an R rating
Holy shit, you're too young to know the difference between a DVD-R and a DVD+R, aren't you?

I'd say it's fucking dumb to give away the ending, but ain't nobody buying Planet of the Apes on Blu-Ray to watch it for the first time.

Make it transparent duh.

OK.

are you retarded

its a nice movie

Cred Forums has way, way worse covers.

OH MY GOD BART IS DRIVING HOW CAN THIS BE?

They fixed it after re-releasing it as Platinum/Greatest Hits

But was it well received?

It's shit, but in a way that kind of works

KANE?

local walmart got in a retarded amount of em, no one will hardly touch em cause of the buttugly covers so they're like $5 each

>hey you know the end of the movie? Put that on the cover.....

...

Bill looks like a fucking waxwork model in this

The reason for this travesty is because Sony were shilling another spiderman franchise at the time and didn't want people to get confused about which one they should watch.

This is pretty spooky.

*King of the Hill theme starts playing*

The worst part about this one is they didn't fix the quality so the movie looks as bad as the box art.

I grabbed the box set of these for 15 bucks or so one day

lmao thats just a black door not a vhs tape

It was a comedy though

Is blue ray compatible with blue tooth? My Suburban has blue tooth but I don't want to waste money. Last road trip we took we rented a bunch of DVDs but it just kept playing the same music on loop and I couldn't get the maps off the screen.

What's a vhs?

>I buy blu-ray because I'm an autist who has to look at shit on a shelf

>I unironically think this "collection" of soon to be severely outdated discs is a hobby/worth collecting

They don't put any effort into the cover because they know only a fucking retard would purchase one anyway.

It looks OK but by the 80s that style of art had passed

I like this posting.

How is this non conventional buffonery posting style called???
