Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7
The Australians are getting the original theatrical artwork (but nothing except a trailer) and the UK gets something that's worse (IMO) than Greg Ruth's Criterion art.
The UK artwork is as seems the norm with many UK distributors plastered with 4 and 5 star ratings. NO ONE IS GOING TO BUY OUR MOVIE IF WE DON'T PUT ENOUGH 4 AND 5 STARS ON THE FRONT!!!!!!!!!

It’s nice to see a real boxset instead of multiple discs crowded onto hubs in a single digipak or a scanavo.

Lynch/Oz
All That Money Can Buy
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed
The Runner
Saint Omer
To Die For [4K UHD]
The newer films (Lynch/Oz, Saint Omer, Beauty and Bloodshed) don't have any restoration details, but I added the rest to the bottom of their respective pages:

The Querelle cover is something else. Terrible month.

Sheesh, Querelle...to do it without the giant cock feels wrong. I used to see the French poster every day when I worked at TLA in Philly. Glad I took it before I quit.

The Underground Railroad would be fine if the title design wasn't so bad. And as for Querelle... yeah...

The only new cover I kind of like is for the one film I'm interested in, Victims of Sin, though the colors are a bit loud there, too. But that may be appropriate for the film (which I'm looking forward to watching).

I'm amazed they managed to make Querelle Brad Davis so sexless. He looks straight from a PlayStation 2 cutscene.

I like that artist's work (Summertime was a particularly good cover, I thought) but I'm not in love with that cover yet. will have to see the movie

Criterion trying to appeal to the Barbie audience with that Querelle cover I see.

Querelle has the texture of weird AI art

Yeah I was thinking the same. Uncanny valley territory.

Title design is from the original Amazon art. Kinda dig the Bound cover. A neat change from Sister Hyde's usual aesthetic. That Querelle cover really is dire.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought Querelle looked like something Dall-E would generate (i.e. sub-MidJourney quality).

Oh March covers arent the greatest but nowhere near as bad as these.ryannichols7 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 2:24 pmMarch was close but I like The Devil and Daniel Webster
The Fassbinder does look horribly AI. I googled the artist and apparently he's legit, a lot of LGBT charged stuff. Maybe something AI with a lot of editing? Either that or a 3D model, which is going to give the action figure look.
Just realized they're releasing the Fassbinder and Bound for Pride Month
