I know someone already pointed out that this is actually from an old poster, but I have always wondered about the strange desire to give older movies new and shittier art. Is it a rights thing, or do distributors genuinely think the new art makes it sell better?

This cover art is actively discouraging me from buying this

It reeks of lazy modern box covers, but it's actually a real poster from the time. https://www.allaboutmovies.com.au/poster-formats/one-sheet-posters/real-genius-poster-original-one-sheet-1985-val-kilmer

Wow! That's.. something else! Some art should probably stay in the archives.

That cover is stupid as shit.

The DVD cover was awful too, so they're maintaining a legacy here

This? This is ice. It’s what happens to water when it gets too cold. This is Kent. This is what happens to a person when they get too sexually frustrated.

I like it.

I can confirm it's a good scan, at least. Not a lot of extras if any, though.

Is "shitty" the answer you're looking for?

This film is great fun.

Apparently this is one of the foreign posters for the movie. I agree though, it sucks (but it's still better than that red DVD garbage.

Now, if they HAVE to go with custom artwork for the 4K release, I would be cool with this instead:

Oh, see, this I like!

goldenloki.bsky.social•1 day ago

I know! It reminds me of MAD Magazine or Cracked, which totally fits the tone of the movie.

To me, it's very "choose your Maniac Mansion character," which I think works for the movie

Ah, REAL GENIUS.

Chris: So, if there's anything I can do for you - or, more to the point, to you - just let me know.

Susan: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?

Chris: Not right now.

Susan: Well, a girl's gotta have her standards.
