Say what you want, but it’s better than some of the other Warner 4K artworks… like The Fugitive or Poltergeist.
That’s the clue, no artwork is better than shite ones, like the mentioned.There's no artwork on it.

My prompt
Could you write me a 400 words esay on the probability of Constantine steelbook being matte or gloss or spot gloss, and whether it will be streaky
What it wrote.
The finish of a steelbook, such as the one for "Constantine," can significantly impact its aesthetic appeal and durability. When considering the probability of it being matte, gloss, or spot gloss, several factors come into play, including regional trends, manufacturing practices, and consumer preferences.
**Matte Finish**: Matte finishes are often preferred for their resistance to fingerprints and scratches. They tend to give a more subdued and sophisticated look, which can be appealing for certain artworks. However, matte finishes can sometimes appear dull or lifeless if not executed well. In regions like the UK and Europe, matte finishes are more common due to manufacturing practices and regional preferences². This trend suggests a higher probability of the "Constantine" steelbook being matte if it is released in these areas.
**Gloss Finish**: Glossy finishes, on the other hand, are known for their vibrant and reflective qualities, making the artwork pop. They are more susceptible to fingerprints and scratches but can look stunning when kept in good condition. In the US, glossy finishes are more prevalent, especially for high-profile releases². If the "Constantine" steelbook is aimed at the US market, the likelihood of it being glossy increases.
**Spot Gloss**: Spot gloss is a technique where only certain parts of the artwork are glossy, creating a contrast with the matte background. This can highlight specific elements of the design, adding depth and interest. Spot gloss is often used to enhance specific features without the drawbacks of a full gloss finish. The probability of a steelbook having spot gloss depends on the complexity of the artwork and the budget allocated for its production. It is a popular choice for collectors who appreciate detailed and nuanced designs¹.
**Streakiness**: The issue of streakiness is more common with glossy finishes. Streaks can occur during the manufacturing process or from handling. Matte finishes are less prone to streaks but can sometimes appear uneven if the coating is not applied uniformly. Spot gloss can also suffer from streakiness if the transition between matte and gloss is not smooth. Ensuring a high-quality finish requires careful manufacturing and quality control.
In conclusion, the probability of the "Constantine" steelbook being matte, gloss, or spot gloss depends largely on the target market and manufacturing practices. Matte finishes are more likely in the UK and Europe, while glossy finishes are favored in the US. Spot gloss offers a balanced option that can appeal to collectors. The risk of streakiness is higher with glossy finishes but can be mitigated with proper quality control. Ultimately, the choice of finish will reflect the desired aesthetic and practical considerations of the release²³.

Hey, @apsmith21, any chance for a GB for this one, please?
Going through all the threads where I might had participated and/or subscribed to, because I did not received ANY notification ANYMORE for some time nowLooks like Walmart is going to have it, so I can order from there.
Can you remind me in January?
Are you using an outlook/msn/hotmail email address by any chance? There was an issue with them in the past (not sure if it was ever resolved) where HDN emails were falsely reported as spam and therefore got blocked, so it was recommended people switch to using a different email provider... I've since started using Gmail and had no issues.Going through all the threads where I might had participated and/or subscribed to, because I did not received ANY notification ANYMORE for some time now
