Awesome. Now I see the art heritage that Wes drew from for his Zissou posters.

Except for that "Global Warming Edition" bit, those are great covers.

The art on those covers is gorgeous, I'm a sucker for vintage sci-fi poster art. Much much better than the art on the Fantastic Voyage/Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea twofer disc I have now. Still, "Global Warming Edition"?

I recently purchased both of these films and immediately watched them. While they may both seem to be a bit outmoded as they were made for audiences of the 1960s in fact as one watches them it becomes apparent that the issues of the "baby boom" generation are still the very issues which we grapple with as a society. In Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, which was then adapted for television one can locate the notion of American superiority and a belief that America's interests and desires are in effect more important than those of the rest of the world, even if that means killing a few people and disregarding the opinions of other global citizens, sounds quite familiar does it not?
In Fantastic Voyage the new desire for American scientists and military personnel is to claim the inner workings of the human body for the stars and stripes rather than the hammer and sickle, yet even today the debate rages as to what role man plays in determining the level of understanding and help which may be applied to the human body.
In terms of quality both of these films technicolor prints look quite good considering the age of the films. Once again Fox has done a nice job of bringing older films to a market that is flooded by newer films of less quality and intellectual capital.
