Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol.5

[matrixschmatrix]

Haha, the Naked cover disappeared- maybe it was a joke

[mfunk9786]

We can only be so lucky

[SpiderBaby]

I hope this one is a joke.

[mfunk9786]

Whoa. Horrible horrible horrible

[SpiderBaby]

They give us the Beauty and the Beast cover and then this crap for Ray?

[Murdoch]

It looks like an unplugged Lite-Brite.

High & Low on Blu! Upgrade of the year for me as this is my fave Kurosawa! Now here's hoping they fixed the blown out whites of the reissue...

I like the new Belle & La Bete cover.

[mteller]

I have to agree on Music Room, terrible cover for such a wonderful film.

[mfunk9786]

They give us the Beauty and the Beast cover and then this crap for Ray?

Not sure what you're implying.

[SpiderBaby]

^ The Beauty and the Beast cover- great. The Music Room cover- not.

[oldsheperd]

Isn't that one of the enemies from Space Invaders on the Music Room cover?

[Murdoch]

Glad they went with the poster.

[mfunk9786]

Hm, the bar on the left is weird. And I'm really pissed that we aren't getting Happiness.

[matrixschmatrix]

I like the picture and the composition, but the mauve wacky C is sort of off putting, I think.

Here's a permanent link to that Naked cover in case it never comes back:

[Finch]

Thewlis looks like he's about to fart.

Best cover since The Magician.

Personally, I still prefer the green tinting of the DVD re-release, but it's still excellent.

Really like Leon Morin, Priest and The Music Room (the cover is highlighting the significant presence of the chandelier in the film). The High and Low reissue cover has always been good. Beauty and the Beast is great (but then every frame of that film could produce a good cover and, with all the various covers they've gone through, it seems as if Criterion is setting out to prove this!) Life In Wartime is OK. Naked is atrocious.

[matrixschmatrix]

Hahaha, well I'm glad they fixed that

Do Naked and Beauty and the Beast represent the first significant cover art changes for Blu-only re-releases?

[zedz]

If they're redoing the covers for Beauty and the Beast and Naked then I assume they're also changing the content / upgrading the DVD editions?

And I don't care what the Music Room cover looks like, as long as it comes out. Maybe you turn the chandelier upside down and see a face?

Do Naked and Beauty and the Beast represent the first significant cover art changes for Blu-only re-releases?

They've since changed the Leopard DVD to match the blu, but it was significantly different when released.
