As for the double bill, they are re-release of previous titles, so it kind of doesn't deserve a reversable. It's also strange of nasty Misogynist wanted Maria removed, but didn't demand Elite Entertainment or Media Blasters to remove Joe Bob Briggs or Retromedia to remove Morellla. "
People did indeed call Maria horrible names,even if they were "just passionate about the dvd's" they could have asked for a reversible cover without all the name calling. |
I hope this isn't just a case of Bill saving on printing costs. I know its cynical but he does come out with some outlandish statements. EG Code Red closing summer 2011.
If indeed its true then it really is pathetic. So what if companies use a gimmick to help promote their releases. I would think most of the complainants don't actually know what a real woman looks like anyway and have only seen them being slashed to bits in films.
I am delighted that these obscure films are being released full stop. Yes you can grumble a little if you wanted a full artwork cover, but does it really matter.
I can only think of Arrow and Shameless who use reverse artwork and very welcome it is too. Major horror companies ie Optimum and Lionsgate never even contemplate bonuses like this.
As for
Mardi Gras Massacre, Maria's pic on the cover is probably the best thing about it. I find that people who like the film haven't actually seen it.
