This is bizarre. It seems that Amazon.de is offering up their German customers some truly unattractive packaging for the Exclusive Watchmen: Rorschach Edition Blu-ray. This thing is f-uuuuuuuuugly! It’s some kind of flat, plastic head that, when you pry it open, reveals the Blu-ray discs in their plastic trays. From the looks of things, the black rorschach-test blots on the mask seem to change, maybe with it’s owner’s growing frustration at having spent good money on such a lame package. And I thought we had it bad with the Nite-Owl ship ornament.

Adding insult to injury is the fact that, like the UK, Germany appears to be stuck with the theatrical cut of the film. It seems to me that Paramount must only have the rights to distribute the theatrical cut of the film outside North America. Warner, however, as the creator and owner of the source material, can release and distribute it in any form they want, as long as it’s within the borders of Canada and the US. Just a theory…
