Movie DVD/VHS Cover

Isn't it high time that our folks get some graphic artists/illustrators/artists together to come up with some better concepts for the cover of the movie boxes? And also can we get a synopsis on the back so we can decide if we like the story or not? And can the pictures match the story? Because sometimes the characters on the cover would dress in one fashion and when you watch the movies, it has nothing to do with the picture or you don't even see them with that outfit in the movie..They use to be tackier but it can also be better. I don't like the use of still photography from the film for the cover box...original concepts would serve better but I guess the latter sells movies faster, shebi?

You will not get a syno for exactly that reason,butter!Most of these producers/marketers are not ready to reveal to us that their movies carry non-events for stories and risk loosing money.
The deal is to trick the unsuspecting viewer into buying "blind".A rubbish bought,is a rubbish bought.
Only producers who are very confident in their contents,put synos on the covers of their movies.
As a matter of fact,any movie you see with a syno on the cover,is almost guaranteed to be above average standard.
