I think their reasoning behind special packaging for this release is that it's a well-loved film and they wanted to do something cool for it. At the moment I don't think they have any future plans for titles to have a similar treatment - at the moment they're just going to see what the response is to this one.

Fair enough and a good point made. I'd never heard of Almost Human so I'm looking forward to seeing this, along with the other future Shameless releases. I refuse to buy any though because I'm like a tub of Pringles, once I pop I just can't stop and I really don't have the funds to get the entire set. :laugh: Anyway.... :focus:

All together now:

What do you want? Tits and booty
When do you want it? Right now
Who's the best actor of all time? Tomas Milian

Yeah that was my first reaction - but now I think that the lenticular sleeve is kind of a fun idea - which means I suppose that I have the correctly deranged sense of humour for more films from Shameless!

See my avatar for what I'd love to be the reverse artwork.

You really do have to hand it to Shameless on the innovative marketing of their dvds.

I always thought the original Shameless distinctive yellow boxes, spinebuilder and so on, were a very clever piece of marketing. Then we have the yellow Blu-ray cases and now this!

Kudos to the Shameless team for doing something totally unexpected and off the wall with this one. Never having seen the film before, I'm really looking forward to picking this one up, wibbly wobbly cover and all. Brilliant :lol:

I couldn't have put it better myself -- I love the Shameless spine builder set, the Bronx Warriors tin, the new artwork on Fulci's Box of Terror and now this lenticular card cover. There'll always be something distinctive for people to consider buying in HMV and other high street stores.

I sadly have to admit, I don't like the cover...
Especially considering how many awesome artworks that most likely won't make it now!

Sure, it's a fun cover but... oh well. :)

:cool:;) :woot:

I like the first one but I cannot put into words how much I utterly despise that idiotic, Marty Feldman-look-a-like abomination of a cover, I really, really hate it.

Anyway! More artwork, surely for the love of all that is good and wonderful in the universe, one of these will be chosen over Marty :

^ DO IT!

I don't know if I like the alternate title particularly as it reminds me of Olaf, the Russian singer in Clerks:

ha ha im a bit late but I love that art!!
look forward to this release. I not heard of this movie before either.

Surely this is a joke, right?

No complaints from yours truly regarding AH's lenticular cover and just the sort of jaw-dropping image one would expect to find adorning a pre-V.R.A. VHS release.

Salacious and sadistic in equal measure is fine by me and please feel free to pour on the scorn and ridicule.

thanks for posting all of the artwork - the proposed Shameless one is bit less WTF now!

Nudity.

Blood.

Perverse shenanigans.

Lenticular madness.

Thats just... Shameless.

Well doesn't this just epitomise the Shameless label? This gets 2 thumbs up from me ;)

I'm another person who hadn't heard of this movie until now. Thanks for bringing it to our attention with such an eye-catching cover.

I think my "to buy" list won't fit on my hard drive soon :lol:

I couldn't have put it better Bobz! :)


More VHS artwork here! :laugh:

For me there is nooo competition - the new Shameless cover is fantastic and beats this cover.

Eww, thats awful!

I think just about anything would beat that cover. :lol:

:pound: :pound: Yeah it sure is an terrible cover that one!

It is horrible artwork, but it doesn't help that the cover appears to have been rescued from a paper shredder!

Used toilet roll would beat that cover Kyle!:ack:

Sneaky bit of gossip from my spies at Shameless exclusive for you guys at Cult Labs.

Almost Human will have not one, not two, but three artwork options!

Panel A you have already seen: the lenticular art card which can either slip under the plastic cover on the DVD box or be removed to stand alone.

Underneath you will find a regular paper sleeve with Panel B on one side and Panel C on the other.

Unfortunately, I am just being a big ol' tease because I can't show you B or C for a while yet, but at least you know what to expect!

;)

A reversible sleeve? Excellent. I look forward to seeing panels B and C when the grand unveiling ceremony (or ceremonies) commence!

Damn! I rushed in here to see the other 2 panels! Oh you are a tease Sarah

Sorry guys! It's exploitation marketing: all mouth and no trousers! ;)

Sounds like a lot of people I know! :pound:

Why, is that because the blokes you know wear kilts?!

We all wear kilts Nos. And talk like Groundskeeper Willie. :D

Is your Scottish accent as unconvincing as his?! Perhaps you should have said Rab C Nesbitt!

Naw that's me pally!

I'm really, really looking forward to see the final package! ;) heheh :pop2:

As promised, here is Panel B! This will sit under the lenticular card design. Of course, if you don't nab one of the first 1,000 units, this will be your Panel A.

I personally love this artwork - what do you think?

Panel C should be revealed tomorrow...

Good choice! The pedant in me can't help but notice the writing/decals on the Police car doors are backwards, but I guess I'm the only one who would have spotted that anyway. :loco:

Can't wait to see the next panel. :coolblue:

Panel B is fine with me and here's hoping the third design will be just as worthy!:)

I have a feeling this is going to be one of those releases where you'll want to display about three pieces of artwork at the same time. The only solution will be to buy several copies!

You may well be right and while i'm perfectly prepared to buy two copies of AH even yours truly wouldn't spend a third time on such an admittedly delectable looking and desirable title!

It's very rare i buy three copies of a certain release.:)
