Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7

[swo17]

One might get the impression from the BFI and CC covers that there are a lot more bare nipples in The Comfort of Strangers than there actually are. I almost wonder if the contract for promotional art stipulated something like "each of the four leads' names in the same font and size, and my name within inches of nipples"

That's so Schrader

Dance, Girl, Dance
The gold on the front cover is a metallic ink.

[swo17]

Yeah, it's pretty cool looking in person. I'm keeping mine next to my Flicker Alley Early Women Filmmakers set, which now finally feels complete

[Reverend Drewcifer]

Looks like waiting-room literature at a psychiatrist's office.

[domino harvey]

The spine looks die cut or embossed... what do you wanna bet it's book/linen-bound like the Princess Bride?

[therewillbeblus]

That was my first thought, but what a silly idea. At least in The Princess Bride it makes sense, but this one gets a thematic-book packaging because "story" is in the title? Did they even see the movie?

[Grand Wazoo]

Maybe they are doing it like a family photo album?

[domino harvey]

Let’s hope they have so much fun releasing a Baumbach film in book packaging that they remember to license and release the one literally named like a book

[therewillbeblus]

...which is also the best Netflix original movie yet

Ok I'll bite. I can't figure out what title this is.

[knives]

Literally the only other Baumbach film released by Netflix.

[therewillbeblus]

The only other Baumbach Netflix film, The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)

Edit: knives beat me to it

[Glowingwabbit]

Oh crap I forgot about that one. Also didn't realize Domino specifically meant a Baumbach title. Well I'm done for the day.

Husbands
Scorsese Shorts
Wildlife

[soundchaser]

The photos on Scorsese Shorts aren’t showing for me.

[cdnchris]

Sorry about that! They should be showing now

[Never Cursed]

I'm having a similar issue, I think, with the last photo of the Scorsese set not appearing (a thumbnail icon with the words "screen capture" shows below this picture of the set opened up and missing the disc and insert)

[cdnchris]

Okay, NOW it should be working

[FrauBlucher]

I dig the booklet cover and the clapper board on the disc.

[tenia]

I feel like the person who did the Taste of Cherry cover hasn't even seen the film. I just don't understand it.

Having now seen the movie, it actually seems spot on and a reference to probably the most thematically-obvious shot in the movie. There were most certainly better things to do though.

An Unmarried Woman
The Cameraman

Just as a note: both were damaged in the mail so you'll notice a cut/break near the spine

[soundchaser]

Wow, I love the interior art for An Unmarried Woman. I assume it’s a reference to the artist character in the back half of the film? (If I’m remembering correctly.)
