What exactly is wrong with Aqua Teen Hunger Force's movie cover?  It's a truly excellent painting by a master of the form, Boris Vallejo.  It just looks silly because they're characters that should never be done realistically - but that's the whole point...  Or was that you being ironic?  I can't tell..

Clearly it's not the craftsmanship or technique of the work (being an artist myself I recognize talent), but the subject matter in general. Nothing depicted on the cover (apart from the four characters) was even remotely close to happening in the picture... there's no dinosaurs... there's no barbarian women riding chopped Harlies... there aren't even any f*cking volcanoes in the movie!!! I realize ATHF is supposed to be asinine, but maybe it does it's job just a little too well...

...If they would have put a robotic-duck or even that stupid laser-shooting poodle, at least it would have been in context! Just because it was the designers intention to be lame, doesn't aleviate it from being such.   

I think you missed the point. Aqua Teen is all about illogical randomness. Very rarely does anything make sense in the show and defiantly not the movie. So really it actually makes sense that the cover for ATHF has no relation to what happens in the movie. Its one of those things you just have to go with. Besides it still doesn't mean that the cover sucks its amazing painting done by one of my favorite artists.

Looking at some of these covers brings back memories of the sleazy video stores that had a few rows of "legitimate" movies with sun-faded covers in the front of the store while they sold direct-to-video porn in the back. Geez did those places smell, too.

Also, Video Gems had some poor artwork, but they were nothing compared to Rae Don - a company which specialized in some of the most horrendous movies ever.

I think this deserves its own topic.  I never understood why some video stores had a certain smell.  And I don't think it was related to the porn.

Okay, really, that's the best someone could come up with?  This could be the cover for about several thousand movies out there. 



I don't know.  This cover looks awfully terrifying.  I feel like that cabbage patch doll from that Awkward Family Photos pic should be superimposed somewhere on there.



Is his beard made out of steel wool?  He scrubs his victims to death with his hairy chin! 



Oh, that alligator.  He's so great!  He was a big help at the bake sale fundraiser this weekend. 



So, he bashed her on the neck with his bone and somehow caused a contusion?  Sounds pornographic. 



Looks like all Frankenstein's monster wants is a beer. 



...followed by its sequel, "Dracula's Money Shot."  Did he pick that chick up here in Spokane?  Looks like one of our hookers got loose.



She's fleeing in terror from the run-on sentence. 



Jesus loves the little children, all the little children in his soup!



Is that... Jennifer Tilly?  What is she stabbing that's causing the inexplicable blood?

Hmmm... weird you should mention that, cause where I live in Southern Illinois most video stores also had tanning salons in them, so they'd have that "tanning" smell.  (Weird cause, I never saw that in video stores in Missouri, maybe it's a local thing, or MO's the exception).  I do remember one video store also did photo development and had one of those movie popcorn makers, so there was a mix of developer and old popcorn in the air.
