This

I thought that you liked "...any of the existing promotional art/posters designs because I utterly detest the alternatives..."

 

[virkia]

- This art is better than the first!

but I've got to say I think the artwork is much better for this release.

This better than .................................................................................................................. this . . . from the great Drew Struzan? Okay . . . but seriously . . . with the title on both front and back!?

One good thing about the new steelbook, if confirmed, is the text-free back

 

[rj531]

Not bad but original release was a real beauty!

It wasn't me that said that

I have the ordinary Arrow blu-ray but could do with extra dose of steel in my collection. (He says having picked up his 337th steelbook today!)

Title on the front and back is a bit stupid but I prefer the artwork.

I went on ebay to see what the original was going for and found a job lot with the original Arrow release, Goonies and Haloween 35th anniversary for £60. Pretty good I thought.

Yeah but you responded to it with “THIS /\ /\”
So I assume you still agree with it.

The post I responded to didn't say that either

I’m just messing with you.
Because that initial post here said that it’s “Another Comic-book style Steelbook”- and that the “First One was enough”.

But this poster is Offical Promotional Artwork that you previously agreed with was a preferable option to any other inspired art work that could have been licensed out.

I’m sorry, but I am on the opposite side of the spectrum. I personally prefer that they stick to any of the existing promotional art/posters designs because I utterly detest the alternatives which is usually the pop/mondo art. Now, it is probably important to acknowledge that the artist behind these pop/mondo arts are talented in their own right. However, as a movie enthusiast, the poster designs in the theatres are generally more appealing than these “unique canvas” designs you seems to adore. As much as I hope the FAC exclusive was not cancelled, I am glad that this title is not getting a cartoon look treatment.

Wow
In a completely different thread.
And in the context of Mondo art Vs poster art.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Why another comic-style steelbook? Wasn't the first one enough?

The first one wasn't in comic book style. It was awesome art by Drew Struzan.

Which I prefer over this one (and the rear cover was better too)!

But I'll probably pick this up too. I just think the title is way too small on the front. Doesn't look right......

 

[garabe]

Arrow and Zavvi re-hashing something limited and flogging it again. but this time they've combined forces.

I love Arrow but their recent announcements of already released movies. Taking the piss a bit.

So, this is the version that starred David Hasselhoff?

Wow

Do the circumstances change?
I mean- the debate of which form of artwork is superior- Promotional or Inspired shouldn't change depending on the thread, should it?
If anything, it should be contextual based on the artist- and whether or not certain renditions are superior to one another, and not a broad-stroke of "Promotional" being better than "Licensed" artwork.

Sorry, I'm not trying to antagonize you- I was initially just making fun- but I'd like to hear your opinion on the circumstances of what you think makes some art prefferable to others...

 

[jaws finatic]

Oh YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I don't pre-order much, but this will be a done deal. Pumped that this will be mine!!! WooooHoooooo.in a quite substantial fashion.

You'll be able to pick up the original release for £20 by the end of the year now it's being re-released.

 

[Futurhythm]

I missed the first Arrow Steelbook, so I'm definitely in for this. They better not skimp on the booklet though.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Are there any current active codes on either UK or German Zavvi sites?
