By the way, in case anyone didn't assume so, the Killers of the Flower Moon cover was designed by an Osage photographer (and lawyer!)

I liked the Man and a Woman until I saw the weirdo footer. The rest are all nice.

yeah its the original theatrical poster, minus the haunting tagline text and glad they went with that.
Good covers all around. Hoping this will be the flash sale month!

Interesting, I thought there was some controversy surrounding its portrayal of the Osage in the picture...I hope the extras might address this. I like the cover!Never Cursed wrote: Mon Dec 15, 2025 7:05 pm By the way, in case anyone didn't assume so, the Killers of the Flower Moon cover was designed by an Osage photographer (and lawyer!)

Im sure this conversation was already had but I dont see how. The movie was made in cooperation with the Osage but sure there are some politically indulgent people taking it upon themselves to be upset for the Osage regardless.Zot! wrote: Mon Dec 15, 2025 7:17 pmInteresting, I thought there was some controversy surrounding its portrayal of the Osage in the picture...I hope the extras might address this.

I'm glad they went with the original poster for Testament, it's simple yet haunting.

What a perfect opportunity lost to give Viridiana the original pink cover!

Oh man, I’d forgotten about that one. One of the great artwork freakouts of yesteryear!

Crazy that The Dead might have ended up on the Vestron line of all things.

FWIW, the gallery took about 5-10 seconds to load on my Pixel 10 phone but other than that, the site loads superfast.

A poster at the Blu-ray.com forum said they saw copies of All About Eve and Sex, Lies, and Videotape in standard Scanavo cases at their local B&N.

In many ways, Trouble in Paradise is a clever piece of composition. I kinda hate it, though.

It beats the old MoC cover though that Craig Keller used. Huge font covering up everything else. The only thing I don't like about Criterion's new cover is the cartoon silhouettes but that's par for the course with Criterion's covers of 1930s films.

Point Blank is one of their greatest artworks. Sublime.

I find the new cover for Trouble in Paradise to be very charming and a big step-up from the DVD cover. I also like the color-scheme on the Tanaka set. Very pleasing to the eyes.

Re: Trouble in Paradise –– It's admirable in a way they've completely abandoned trying to capture old hollywood stars' likenesses, but I also find it to be one of the worst covers they've ever done.

Does Keller have a negative reputation? He can be a tad prickly at times based on my few direct social media interactions with him over the years, but he's clearly a smart guy.Finch wrote: Fri Jan 16, 2026 5:10 pm It beats the old MoC cover though that Craig Keller used.
