Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol.
You should have shut up while you were ahead. Lana Wachowski is not a grown man, she is a woman (who happens to have unusual chromosomes for a woman.) It's both ignorant and intolerant to try to force an equivalency between overdone plastic surgery and being a transperson in the first place, but please don't act like a transphobic asshole and then sound the PC alarm.Zot! wrote: Stop trying to paint me some kind of bigotted idiot, you were playing along with the joke until I somehow upset your delicate sensibilites.

Judging by these 3d packaging shots, On the Waterfront and Sansho Dayu will be digipaks.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol.
According to filmratings.com (the official MPAA site) all three got their re-ratings in 1991. I'm assuming they had a theatrical re-release at that time and MGM (or whoever may have been the distributor) was uncomfortable using the X rating.med wrote:Getting back to the Trilogy of Life packaging, why are the films' MPAA ratings included?* I know films licensed from major studios usually have them, but it seems odd here since all three have ratings they didn't originally have upon their respective releases (and, in the case of The Canterbury Lives and Arabian Nights, couldn't possibly have had. And, if you allow me to continue this parenthetical aside just a moment more, I'm surprised—given the MPAA's still-squeamish attitude about sex—that The Decameron got an 'R'!)
*This also brings up the question why MGM ever bothered resubmitting them.

Criterion has been honored with another design award. David Plunkert's artwork for Diabolique is highlighted in the pages of this year's PRINT magazine Regional Design Annual. I could not find an online link to share this news, but the magazine is currently on the newsstands (and on page 145 if I am not mistaken). At $30 for the issue all I could afford was to look at it.
I am certain that his work for the Tin Drum will receive similar accolades come awards season next year.

The artwork for the Qatsi Trilogy really captures the essence of the trilogy beautifully. It has my vote for best artwork for a Criterion release this year.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol.
I just noticed that despite the fact that it has an older black case, Schizopolis has some stuff printed on the inside of it's cover (A long, humorous "warning" label.) Are there any other DVDs that have things hidden behind the cover (aside from the obvious ones included on clear DVD cases)

When I was taking photos of all of the releases for this site Schizopolis was the only one I came across that had hidden text printed on the inside. None of the other early releases did, that I saw anyways.

Someone posted these elsewhere, dunno what the source is. Seems like a credible batch, though.

If those are real, I like the Bresson and the Lang covers (though the later feels a bit unfinished or sketchy still), but that Badlands cover feels like a joke. I guess it's supposed to be pulp paperback-y but instead it reminds me of those unintentionally funny hand-drawn African movie posters. Ick.

I like them all a lot- definitely both the Lang and the Malick are going for a pulpy feel, but that seems appropriate enough in both cases. The Bresson seems a bit muted, but that's fair enough- and it's appropriately focused on hands performing a task.

Good lord is that a horrible cover for Badlands. There are approximately one million gorgeous images in that film - and this is what they do?!

Would they have been able to use the original poster for Badlands?

The Bresson reminds me of Dryer's Joan a little too much, but I suppose that is appropriate.

If it's indeed March batch, I'm still missing the "Big" release.

Badlands and Chaplin would count as pretty big though I am unlikely buy either.

People on Facebook request Badlands 5 times a day for at least two years. For this purpose, this is THE big announcement. And we don't even know how grand the packaging/extras would be.tenia wrote:If it's indeed March batch, I'm still missing the "Big" release.

The "big" is obviously Badlands since it's a Warner title. There's still a possibility for some great Eclipse set or amazing extras though!
I like the Ministry of Fear cover...hmm.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol.
I already own three of four of these, but depending on the extras I'm pretty likely to pick up all four. Certainly A Man Escaped is exciting as hell, for me it's Bresson's best film.
