The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (Blu-ray FuturePak) [UK]
- Thread starter snooloui
- Start date
I was really looking forward to both this and "500 Days of Summer", especially given the outstanding quality of the recent wave of Fox FuturePaks ("Fight Club", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Prometheus", etc), all of which bore artwork superior to their Steelbook counterparts.
Most disappointed, therefore, to discover that the team responsible for the earlier wave of Fox Steelbook travesties ("Butch Cassidy", "Big", "Fargo", etc) appear to be back. They also appear to have infiltrated Universal, given the artwork of their new wave of US Steelbooks ("Psycho", "Scarface", etc).
I'm not averse to new and different artwork being used but it really needs, in my opinion, to be an image that relates to the film, not someone's interpretation of what they consider to be the film's essence.
For now, I shall be retaining my Amarays of these 2 films. I'll consider getting the FuturePak of "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" when the price drops to about £10. As for the FuturePak of "500 Days of Summer", I wouldn't have it in my collection, even if someone gave it to me. Same also applies to the FuturePak of "Little Miss Sunshine."
