"Heh, that is ALWAYS my pet peeve when I see a movie poster because 99% of the time the names and the pictures don't line up.

The more I look at it, the more the DVD cover makes me think of those flavored ice sticks they sell at the supermarket for some reason."

It's never really bugged me until now. I just want to plunge my hand into the computer and rearrange the names.

"Switchfoot's version is actually a cover of the original song though. I'm not sure who did it."

I looked on All Music Guide, and I think it was originally performed by a band called King Harvest.

"It's never really bugged me until now. I just want to plunge my hand into the computer and rearrange the names."

Heh, maybe this is a ploy to get us to buy 2 copies - 1 to keep the way it is, and 1 to cut out the names and paste them back in the right places

I think their plan will work.

I just saw the cover, and WOAH, I think I might be blinded! Ok, ok, it's not THAT bad. I just don't like how they all look slightly constipated (sorry, heh, that's what I see), but also how the bands of color go straight down. It's like they've been swallowed by the bands of color or something.

Exactly!
I think Joanne must be the best looking out of all of them.
I'm disappointed.

Adam looks... unattractive on the cover. Eek. It's also weird that it's Mimi and Benny are on the spine.

I think the art looks a bit tacky overall, but at least the 2-disc edition is being released on the same day. I remember someone saying that Sony was going to release the standard edition on the 21st and the 2-disc set a couple months later; sadly, I knew I'd end up buying both of them if that was indeed the case.

But good thing it isn't, because although we love our RENT, we also love our money.

But I suppose we should be thankful the DVD artwork wasn't the original artwork. Can you imagine having that poster on your wall? Ick.

I feel like I'm in the minority here, but with the exceptions of Rosario and Anthony, I think the cast looks better on the DVD cover than on the soundtrack covers - in fact, I think Adam looks kinda scary on the soundtrack cover. I prefer the overall look of the soundtrack cover, but the cast pictures on the DVD cover are better.

"It's also weird that it's Mimi and Benny are on the spine."

Weird, but it does make sense. Rosario and Taye are the cast members that Stereotypical Blockbuster Customer is most likely to recognize when trying to decide which movies to get.

OH dear, you have a point there Fantabulous.
Sadly, I don't even own a poster. I am sadly disappointed, but dare not to ask my mom for one. (She thinks I'm crazy.)

Posted: 1/9/06 at 5:15pm

To be honest, I don't think Adam looks especially good in most of the promo-type shots for the film. I saw a low-quality photo of a Rent movie poster from Israel where Adam looked good, his hands were behind his head and he was all smiley. Other than that, I'm ambivalent toward most of his film photos. I generally think Taye is attractive and I don't think he looks so great, either.

"Weird, but it does make sense. Rosario and Taye are the cast members that Stereotypical Blockbuster Customer is most likely to recognize when trying to decide which movies to get."

Exactly. Business is business, I guess.

But of course, if we fans had a say, Adam and Anthony would be on the spine.

gah, i don't like the cover! i don't hate it, but it is way TOO busy and woah. They could've got WAY better pictures of everyone...i'm dissapointed with Adam's picture, it looks like it was taken and he wasn't ready or something.

yea i agree...it should have been like the bible, black and silver and SIMPLE! I think they should've had the black and silver RENT logo and then a picture underneath of all of them [in black and white (maybe)] oh well

completely agree with you fantabulous
haha...constipated

With stuff like this - I just don't get it. Assuming that a majority of people had to agree that this cover was the best possible option, were these people on crack? I know it's not terrible, but I'm assuming there had to be something out there that was better.

Anyone good at photoshop? We can make our version of what the cover should look like. There should have been a picture like:



or



and then the simple, white RENT on a black background, IMO.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but weren't we able to pre-order the DVD via amazon on Friday? I remember thinking that I'd pre-order when I got home...but now I can't. Did I make up that memory?

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 1/9/06 at 5:45pm

Another idea would be the all black background with the white RENT at the top, and this picture at the bottom:

I'm bored. Let me play around on PSP for a bit.

Well, here's one. I was going with colors, and then I went all black and white. I'll try to actually do a color one now.

I like that one.

Posted: 1/9/06 at 7:18pm

wow. i dont like the cover
i completly agree, the simple rent logo like the bible would have been much better. but yay for 2 discs

Mandi, that's gorgeous. *is in awe of Mandi's mad graphic skillz*

I'm pleasantly surprised by the relatively subdued discussion of the DVD cover on the main board, but I'm worried that it's just the calm before the storm.

On another note, is it wrong that I really wish I could start classes tomorrow and save up the last week of my break for when I'll really need it? I just want to be back in the city, in my dorm, and my parents selfishly don't want to accept that because they "don't get to see me all that often" and "just like having me around." Bull****. During the school year, we usually see each other about once a week since I go to school so close to home, and all they've been doing while they "have me around" is drag me to go out to eat at every possible opportunity and yell at me for staying up later than they do. I'm beginning to understand exactly how the animals in the zoo must feel. Thank God I won't have to live at home this summer.
