    Why are US book cover designs so poor?

    You said you know - did you go to art school eyez? Are you an artist? If so then I'm doubly interested in what your take is on this whole book cover thing.

    Why are US book cover designs so poor?

    eyez, you want to give us some examples? The UK Covers do seem to be better overall - they seem to represent the content of the books better as well. Perhaps the US artists just don't read the books before designing the covers :D .

    O.J. Simpson's First "If I had Killed My Wife" Novel

    ions likes to start stuff? Yeah that's right, ions you really got to stop the stirring, I mean actually reading books and then discussing them in a thoughtful manner is just wrong dude. Posting coherent thoughts and explaining why you think something is right/wrong is also just not done man. Yep...

    Ode to a retired beer tester

    I can't believe I missed this thread. Litany, please give us another poem, oh go on. I tried, and the best I could come up with is; I bought a book gave it a quick look tossed it in the nook just couldn't give a fook. It lacks the artistry of your work - so please do show me how it's...

    I remember Cynthia Rothrock - the China O'Brian movies - now those were also very cheesy! But a good laugh.

    Martial Arts Movies

    Yes I remember The Big Boss. I only watched it a couple years back, but by then I had seen most of his other films, and in comparison this one paled a bit. Perhaps just because it was a slightly different (perhaps slower?) kind of movie. Lee was great though. A Bruce Lee fan Aquablue? Which...

    Martial Arts Movies

    I have an embarrassing addiction to martial arts movies. I don't mean just the er celebrated Kung Fu ones, but also the really over the top cheesy American ones from the late 70s/80s (I'm thinking Best of the Best, No Retreat no Surrender etc). Yes they were rubbish, but gloriously rubbish - the...
