With a MAN in the White House? Not likely!

I think it's completely appropriate: an ironic appropriation of the ugly, cluttered Photoshop-layering style of DVD cover that hints at the tacky incongruities of the film's setting. Well done.

I have no idea of if you're being sarcastic or not. (But then, I'm from Generation X)

I completely agree with Gregory, and not in a sarcastic way.

Everybody should get on the wheezy and pocked wagon.

Oooooh! Portrait! Sounds classy!

No, I was being completely sincere. As for wheezy and pockmarked wagon, after Bukowski everyone else is just an amateur. From one of his readings: " *hack* *choke*!! [To audience:] You'd love to see me die!"

Oh my god, I want it now.

Beautiful!
Can't wait till we can preorder this and THE WORLD!

I LOVE YOU!

Almost had a seizure, new blu-ray titles and cover art without even a hint of warning!
Make Way For Tomorrow in HD? Screw you Criterion...

Before the tirades start, we went with an ironic cover for MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW, based on an original British release poster. We know the film isn't all smiles and we're not that bothered about "misrepresenting" it -- we think it's funny/sad to present it like this - especially since Criterion nailed the sleeve already.

Make Way for Tomorrow on Blu \:D/
Probably get the Mansfield movie too.

omg! AMAZING!

Will Make Way for Tomorrow and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? be September releases, Nick? And will they be Region B?

Any news on spine #100 for those who haven't gone HD yet?

YES!!!
The Tashlin was a VERY welcome surprise, and now I'm so glad I didn't pick up Make Way for Tomorrow during the B&N sale!!!

Release dates?

This is me for the rest of the day. Rock Hunter on Blu-ray...my God...

Same. Very good news indeed.

Unfortunately, i wasn't so lucky
I guess there is always Ebay...

And I move an inch closer to dropping big $$$ on an Oppo.

Is Make Way region locked?

Can't say I like the cover at all, even with the explanation. Sometimes wrong is wrong, even with a good reason!

Has there ever been a cover you did like? You sure are one tough customer.
