So I'm looking at the Hard To Kill DVD cover

[QueBert]

I'm not sure what look they were going for here, but this reminds me of something I'd do back when I was learning Photoshop and was trying to mask people out of images. I didn't know what the shit I was doing and it would come out looking like this. How the fuck did this get passed whatever department head thumbs up the media work?

You talking about the white silhouette? Pretty sure it is intentional.

Obviously I know it's intentional, it just looks so shitty. Give a 12 year old Photoshop and 20 minutes and that's what they'd come up with.

There is no accounting for taste. Also that was 28 years ago...

Styles change - clothing, home decor, music. I'm not surprised DVD covers are included in that

Interestingly both this and Photoshop were released in Feb 1990.

Doesn't really matter, publishing existed long before adobe. Darkroom manipulation or a razor would have done it if they wanted the white stuff gone.

I just thought it was an interesting coincidence since Photoshop was brought up nothing more.

I appreciate it as an artistic decision.

The red "blood" running down his shoulder is a nice touch.

Great movie

Great movie

Yeah...it was like Under Siege, but instead of on a boat it was on land with the mob and cops.

The best part about not being on a boat is you get to see Steven Seagal run...he's like a male version of Pheobe.

Maybe a 12 year old and photoshop was all the budget they had. It is a steven seagal movie after all...

He's been fat for a while now. Plus - I know plenty of 50 somethings who don't depend on appearance for their livelihood who are in great shape.
