So the moral of the story is, {param} have a community vote instead of the opinion of someone who has probably never seen a steelbook

Fixed.

Guys

Lets put this into perspective. Lionsgate UK have given fans a second opportunity to actually an ENTIRE steelbook. Do you know any other studio that does? The final artwork was chosen by the star himself as well.

Now we not all agree with the artwork but it's a FANTASTIC opportunity to have and to take part in. Let's show the studios that maybe watching (because you never know who is) the community spirit so hopefully they come knocking at our door.

^^ Yes overall i agree and do appreciate that Lionsgate are doin this but just sayin winner shld really of gone to a poll here on HDN

 

[Noodles]

It was a great idea by Lionsgate and I'm sure we all really appreciate them listening to our original complaints and giving us a second opportunity, as Rob said. It's just a shame it didn't quite work out how we'd all hoped. Maybe next time they should let the public/collectors vote and then the star of the film can pick their favourite design from the top 3 or something...?

 

[bigrob]

If it was Empire holding it i agree. But if it was HDN I'd say the design from scratch because we do have some talented members in our community

So the lesson learned from Only God Forgives and Machete Kills is let the FANS choose, not the director or star.

I kind of like that the star has a part in this process, it's cool. Maybe they should let us narrow it down to a few of the best ones, then let the star choose from them. Best of both worlds.

Absolutely right. So if "someone" is watching we should make it crystal clear that a half arsed competition like this is worse than giving us no choice whatsoever!

That makes sense, It's odd to get someone who is not a collector to decide what the final result is.

 

[dfoles]

eh, I wouldn't call it half assed, just not fully thought out.

Good idea, bad execution

 

[SaberTooth]

But I'm still thinking Sofia Vergara's tits should have been included somehow .

If the competition wasn't so last minute i'd probably be working on something better than this right now

 

[ihategiantspiders]

I see a lot of hate for Trejo's choice. While not entirely amazing, I for one think it's one of the better ones from a bad bunch and I sure as hell won't be cancelling so it can sit alongside my HMV copy of the original. There's something nice about the entire cast listing on the rear too.

Are you shittin me brother? Best of a bad bunch?? There were some frickin awesome designs and all we get stuck with is a mediocre one at best. This is never going to be considered a great movie but it could have been legend as a steelbook.

 

[dfoles]

I might catch some flack for this, but...

I think even my design was better than the winning design

 

[GroundZero81]

Nice Looks awesome. Great artwork

Personally I think it's great. My favourite steelbooks are the ones that execute a decent idea in a way that's not simply copy and pasting existing imagery. A steelbook is a collectors item, and I expect something a little more special than the norm. Recent case in point, Wreck It Ralph. Simple idea, executed simply and brilliantly, keeping in tone with the film. All in all, loads of good entries for the Machete comp. Everyone should be pretty proud of their creativity and look forward to the next one.

 

[Geek Tragedy]

I should have gotten off my ass and entered. I'm sure I could have out done this blood and mud splatter design with one arm tied behind my back.

Cancelled my preorder for the steelbook. Should've stuck with the poster (Machete's face). Really don't like this at all, so I'll just buy the standard release.

 

[Dino Last]

I wish they would have more competitions where the fans decide. It would stop disappointments like this and only God Forgives from happening.

 

[psychoscot]

Cancelling! That's just BAD!
