Why The God Awful Poster? Look's Like a Mugshot......


taken after a three day bender during Glen's "badboy" days. All I can imagine is to entice a voyeuristic audience hoping for a train wreck. BTW an excellent doc, Campbell is truly gifted and blessed by a loving family.


He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.

I liked the poster because it was vintage Glen – flaws and all. I didn't see it as having "train wreck" potential. But I agree this is an excellent documentary.

Vintage Glen? The poster is more like what would seen on a documentary of a serial killer. I grew up in Arkansas where Glen Campbell was idolized. The movie poster is schlock meant to draw in an audience. Very simple. If not why not have a bright eyed Glen smiling while waving at the crowd holding his guitar to commensurate his legacy.

Sorry, I just don't see it, but I respect your opinion.

Yeah, that's the poster. Perhaps we can agree the image is not flattering. If you disagree then so be it. I would like to remember this great performer with a smile on his face hugging his loved ones. That "poster" conveys something else.

Well, I agree Glen has certainly looked much better, but he still looks better than I do there. 

It's just a tinted version of the cover of Glen's album "Basic."
