Can anyone zoom into the guitar case on the cover of Inside Llewyn Davis and if legible, see what those stickers are on the case?

What goon at Sony is responsible for insisting on these terrible covers for their licensees? First It Happened One Night now Gilda. It takes a real craftsman to make Rita Hayworth look unappealing but well done Criterion

Hah, was thinking the same thing - it's a Pantene commercial!

Does Sony have any say in the final images chosen for licensees? I know studios can make certain demands concerning the names of actors on the covers and (as we saw with Sweet Smell of Success) even the size of the actors' heads in relation to one another. But I didn't think really had final approval. I don't hate the Gilda cover as much as most here do, but it is a disappointing effort considering the amazing publicity stills Criterion had at their disposal.

It looks like Criterion has 2 gift sets they've released exclusively to Costco stores this week:

$59.99 each
The Rock Box - A Hard Day's Night/Gimme Shelter/Monterey Pop/Quadrophenia
Classic Hitchcock - The Man Who Knew Too Much/The Lady Vanishes/39 Steps/Foreign Correspondent

Someone posted an image of the slipcover/box on the bluray.com forums

I would love to have my favorite Dylan doc in a digipak packaging, but remember that The Samurai Trilogy was also a box set!

Peter Weller's greatest line. I wouldn't know the details exactly, but I have a friend that specializes in sexual ambivalence.

I went to the Paul Stuart Facebook page to see if they had photos up from the Dont Look Back event, luckily they did, and it looks like what Pennebaker is signing is a digipak.Image
