Hahaha, that's AWFUL. They actually want you to say "no comment" to a customer's face?? Unbelievable.

Guess I'm gonna get fired then because any customer who asks why the cover art looks "odd" and why there's no synopsis of the movie on the back gets told by me what the hell is going down.... I've also had people who have NOT realized that Pirates is out because they are looking for Mr. Depp's lovely face and not finding it-only a lame ass pirate ship.

So you guys are using generic covers and purposely removing the actual covers to stay under the radar or something? I don't get it...

Wait until you see the coverart they choose for Crazy Stupid Love! They took the shot that was advertised for the movie with Steve Carrell sitting on a sofa and the backside of Marissa Tomei is shown standing in front of him-like she's getting ready to run and jump on him or such. BBV took that pose and somehow made it seem much more leacherous than the studio's probably because they can't show faces-it actually looks like some bachelor party in Vegas soft core porn title now. Can't wait to see how jacked up hilly billy they will make Harry Potter's cover look...

So my BB cheerleader "friend" is insisting that their shipments have not been nor will they be interrupted, that Harry Potter WILL be there on the 11th, and to be honest he is getting right pissed about me knowing this stuff that he can only argue up til the date comes and he is proven wrong. Yet again. It's too fun. I think this last time I pushed him too far...he hasn't spoken to me in days. (he was real pissed when I started mocking BB about the credit card thing.) Hee hee.

They didn't look too bad... kinda generic but at least it beats the hell out of the cards we had to make for the other titles with print outs from the computer. I wonder if the cover art will look the same.
