ITT: Best book covers.

is that sarcasm op?

Why is the dude from pineapple express trying so hard to look intellectual

>>8586932
cuz he's the dude from pineapple express and will always be identified with stoner-movies, and he's smart enough to know that, but not clever/subtle enough to change the perception.

>>8586913
whoa

I'm actually a fan of the movie he made, but why the hell would they make the book cover like that?

Actually....looking close that looks shooped.

Such potential for a good thread.

Pic sort of related, I just love the spine.

>>8586967
I was thinking how many of the people I hang out with (including myself) are on that very same place: Too dumb to be smart but smart enough to know it.

It's truly hell.

James Franco fucking sucks and is the definition of a pseud

>>8587031
WoW haha :D

>>8587002
He literally starred in a film adaption m8.

>>8587002
it's not shopped, i've seen it in a bookstore

>>8587095
Yeah, fuckstick, I'm aware of that. I watched the movie. I mean I don't see why they would make a new book cover like that, especially seeing when the movie is basically unknown and had a really limited release.

>>8587012
That cover would make sense if the title were The History of Western Agriculture. But it isn't.

It's clear Franco thinks that As I Lay Dying is a book about and centered around Darl from this cover.

Clearly, that's the opinion of someone who's never read As I Lay Dying.

>>8587031
Yeah he's so dumb for attending multiple universities, right?

>>8587287
Why was Addies death described from Darls pov when he wasn't even there at the time?

>>8587287

It kind of is....I mean Darl isn't the main character, but he is sort of the central character of the book. He narrates the most out of anyone, and is kind of assigned the role of observer, and has super spooky insight on everyone else.

I can kind of get the cover of Franco's As I lay dying, but check this shit out.

For one, bet you didn't even know there was a Sound and the Fury movie, huh?

For another.....what the hell is it? He plays Benji in the film, and that definitely isn't Benji. It's just fucking Franco there...for no reason.

>>8586913

Is that from a film? I remember seeing one adapatation of the novel and that cover reminds me of it.

>>8587462
No....same people who starred in the As I Lay Dying adapdation.

Though, in Sound and the Fury, everyone except Franco has only cameo spots basically. Rogan is the telegram guy, McBride is the sheriff at the end. Franco is Benji.

Brother Karamazov number 1 entered the kitchen area. There he found brother Karamazov number 2, his identical twin brother Karamazov.
- Brother Karamazov, are you wearing a marine blue also?
- Yes, brother Karamazov.
- And brother Karamazov, are you letting your beard grow out a little bit as well?
- Yes, brother Karamazov.
- But brother Karamazov, have you applied hair gel to your midlong to short hair and combed it back so that it stays back, but rather loosely so?
- Yes, brother Karamazov.
- How delightful! We must celebrate! Brother Karamazov, will you take a playful picture of me and brother Karamazov?
- Yes, brother Karamazov.
And so, brother Karamazov 3 took a playful picture of brothers Karamazov 1 and 2.
