It just all seems so negative and backward looking. Riles me sometimes.

Plus:

"I prefer artwork that was used to promote the filmehen it originally came out, even if it was crap."

I find this impossible to understand.

It's fine to want some old or "iconic" artwork, but many (I wasn't really thinking of you, Stephen) get so precious about it and seem to look down on new artwork. And I think new artists should be encouraged and employed over and above nostalgic wistfulness.

Some people get over -emotional about artwork...I get over-emotional about people getting over-emotional about artwork!
