This Is Spinal Tap (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter snooloui
- Start date
Surprised by the negative response, this looks great. It's the artwork I grew up with. I much prefer when studios use classic, iconic artwork and posters, instead of doing something new but Photoshopped to hell (new Robocop steel for instance).
This is begging to be embossed - the letters are raised! Gloss finish would be awesome but apparently Studiocanal is too cheap for that.
Sorry but that looks terrible.

I would rather they go old school VHS / Soundtrack artwork with it to be honest...

How much more black could this be?
Print the back in black gloss on a black matte background and then the answer Would be none.
A wasted opportunity :-(

They could have given us an all black steel and printed all the logo and other junk on a clear slip like the one Asian release of Monsters University.
I like it... But if it's matte, which is most likely will be, without any em/debossing, it'll be a very boring release, IMO. Maybe if it was half the current price, it'd at least be worth the purchase for the bluray.
As my Mum says, 'if you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all'

Well we are on a forum where people express their opinions (good or bad). If you're afraid of hearing something negative, you might as well stay off the internet and never leave the house.
It would be better if you could only make out what the back said if you held it at the right angle.
"This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within" 
Personally I like it!

How so? Both designs were used on VHS. I've never seen the Airplane! one though. But that may have to do with being in the US. The artwork they used is not some new design, it was also used for the DVD I owned and by the Criterion Collection. Also, from a design standpoint it's much more attractive (and closer to the all-black style) than the Airplane! one.
Bit disappointed with this going off those photos. In a weird way I feel completely black with black embossed title would have looked quality while with the white text on the back it looks cheap
shame falls upon me when i tell everyone that i have not watched this film oh the shame of it i know.
This should be a blind buy for you! One of the funniest films ever made IMHO.
