If the original poster artwork (or similar) can be included then that will be great. Hopefully I'm in the minority but - apologies, it just doesn't work for me.
| I agree with you regarding Rick's artwork.
Some of his paintings are not too bad and his illustrations for the Dawn Blu-Ray and SNDN i really do like the look of. They're both very easy on the eye and get the job done imo.
However, there's a certain 'fan boy' (for lack of a less controversial term) quality to some (NOT all) of Rick's other artwork that i just can't quite get to grips with. No offence to the artist in question as he definitely has talent and i certainly couldn't paint with the same skill or wield a brush any better.
Rest assured my apologies if any of these comments are a touch too close to the bone as i truly don't mean for this post to upset anybody here, especially Rick himself!
I think a reverse sleeve for Arrow's SNDN DVD would be fine and acceptable boasting Rick's perfectly suitable illustration on one side and the popular 'Santa-climbing-down-the-chimney-with-an-axe-in-his-hand' (whew!) variety adorning the other cover.
I'm quite looking forward to this release now, actually despite not being familiar with the film!:happy:
Any idea if Arrow's edition will top the ABUS version for extras as i've been thinking of buying the U.S. DVD of SNDN as well as the U.K. equivalent. |
