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

[TheGodfather]

Received my copy of Black Moon today: the inside design is amazing, the wacky C on the disc is very nicely done. Great package

Received my copy of Black Book today

Jeez, watch it with that, for a second I thought they released Reign of Terror and I didn't even know about it...

sorry, my mistake
Edited it. Would be cool if they`d release Reign of Terror, just for you...

Slight tweaks to the Carlos cover.

[domino harvey]

Too much edge enhancement, and where is the grain?!

[Gary Gnu]

I thought it was fine before. It still looks good, but I wonder why they made the part that says "A Film By Olivier Assayas" less sharp, while they made the rest of the cover sharper.

Wow. The Island of Lost Souls and Four Feathers covers are nothing short of amazing

[TMDaines]

The price for the Antonioni is cool; the cover is absolute shite however. An all-time bad cover.

Much like their cover for Red Desert, there's nothing wrong with it from a pure design standpoint. It's just boring.

[knives]

I actually like it. Gives a very mysterious mood. By the way how many more Universal titles does this leave? I think it's three, correct?

Red Desert was terrible too. They somehow made this one even more boring than that one.

The Four Feathers looks a little like a photo with a Photoshop watercolor filter thrown over it to me, but that's probably something that won't be true in person. I really like the Kuroneko cover.

[Saturnome]

I love the Leningrad Cowboys covers. Also interesting to see short films on Eclipse.

[domino harvey]

Island of Lost Souls looks like an Aesthetic Apparatus poster from five years ago. Everything else is boring. Great month on all fronts, Criterion!

[Jean-Luc Garbo]

Kuroneko and Island of Lost Souls get my vote. A creepy month just got creepier.

The inclusion of the blu-ray sticker has turned the film into Salo, or the 115 days of Sodom

[domino harvey]

That's funny, but I think the original had an "explicit content" sticker not much different than that one. I guess Criterion isn't worried about kiddies have Blu-ray access

[Murdoch]

I'm meh on the new covers, Dazed is still great though (and the wacky C over the target is pretty clever)

[Jeff]

You mean upgrades to Blu-ray that Uni have already released or announced on Blu themselves? That would be Do the Right Thing, Brazil, and Spartacus.

Of course The Last Temptation of Christ, The Bank Dick, All That Heaven Allows, Written on the Wind, The Lady Eve, The Scarlet Empress, My Man Godfrey, Sullivan's Travels, Trouble in Paradise, The Killers, La Haine, Two-Lane Blacktop, Walker, Blast of Silence, Before the Rain, Missing, Magnificent Obsession, The Last Days of Disco, and Make Way For Tomorrow are also all licensed from Universal and don't have R1 Blu-rays at all.

[knives]

I was thinking of the otherwise upgraded ones, yes.

... and Traffic.

[jbeall]

I don't care that she's not in the film; how do you not put Monica Vitti on the cover of Identification...???

Seriously, a boring cover. But I quite like the Island of Lost Souls cover.

[Jeff]

... and Traffic.

Ah yes. I forgot the former USA titles. I should have also included In the Mood for Love on the list of titles that haven't gone Blu at all.
