And Zarathustra said to them: "I tell you, JM is DEAD!"

While we're at it you have to throw in the nipple tassles... and a kangaroo in the background.

And the source of that ray of light in the background should definitely be a Martian death machine.

Like the ones from Mars Attacks? Oh, I see where this cover is heading...

No need to be vulgar, now...

Damn, you're really good at that.
Could you give her a tattoo of Woody Woodpecker smoking a cigar?

Just a heads up, they've added the Criterion logo to the front of the cover on the Criterion website.

So um... what's everyone think of the new Olivier's Shakespeare artwork? I'd link to the image, but it's flash, and I'm lazy, so...

I'm really pretty jazzed about the cover, truth be told, but I guess the real test will be how the rest of the box looks.

justeleblanc · #913 Post by **justeleblanc** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 11:39 pm

I bet you designed the original Viridiana cover didn't you.

First, I want real looking tassles... the ones you got look like oil rigs and lollipops. I want these tassles turning -- I want to get a sense that this chick is doing a shimmy. Do I have to post a picture from The Graduate for you? Gees Louis.

Second, I think we need a hook and a chainsaw in place of her hands.

Third, the investors want the giraffe moved. Maybe to the left of her. They say the giraffe needs to be holding a gun and his member needs to be in a sock.

SncDthMnky you should send it to Criterion. They might use it. It's an improvement, so they should.

Cinesimilitude · #915 Post by **Cinesimilitude** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 1:15 am

you didn't think I'd do it, did you?

daniel p · #916 Post by **daniel p** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 1:28 am

So would everybody buy the DVD with that cover then? Strange looking giraffe

Please send it on to them... it's too funny... I, for one, don't actually mind the original cover tho...

godardslave · #917 Post by **godardslave** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 2:55 am

thats the best dvd cover I have ever seen in my life!
its surrealism would make Bunuel proud!!

justeleblanc · #918 Post by **justeleblanc** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 4:15 am

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! \:D/

LightBulbFilm · #919 Post by **LightBulbFilm** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 6:17 am

It's missing one thing though... Well, two things. She needs to have bigger tits for the tassles, and there needs to be some guy form the 50s in the lower right hand corner wearing x-ray glasses looking through her dress with a word bubble that says "For fuck's sake... What else do you want on this damned cover?!"

Jem · #920 Post by **Jem** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 6:40 am

Give her an eye patch and I think we're done.

bjeggert82 · #921 Post by **bjeggert82** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 2:48 pm

Really, cause I think she needs a swastika somewhere--on an armband on her shoulder possibly?

Gordon · #922 Post by **Gordon** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 4:38 pm

Brilliant! But I feel that the tits need to be exposed and the Swastika armband is a must.
And maybe Robert Crumb's head in the corner commenting on the deparavity.

Derek Estes · #923 Post by **Derek Estes** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 5:08 pm

I think you forgot to turn the A in Canterbury into a U.

If we're going to expose her breasts, why not just put swastikas over the nipples and avoid the armband altogther...
