So the designer has taken it upon him/herself to move the bed from its place in the film, a house with painted walls and modern décor, into a some kind of cave or a quarry just because Twilight Time needs rough, gritty textures on its covers that badly?

So the designer has taken it upon him/herself to move the bed from its place in the film, a house with painted walls and modern décor, into a some kind of cave or a quarry just because Twilight Time needs rough, gritty textures on its covers that badly?

In Twilight Time's defense, the terrible cover accurately fits the terrible movie. Minus the clip-fest that is Love on the Run, Mississippi Mermaid is easily my least favorite Truffaut.

[Gregory]

Definitely not his best work, but why not let a bedroom be a bedroom and give the Xtreme textures a rest? I know I've said it before, but the vogue for making everything look artificially dirty, distressed, rough-hewn because there are no other design ideas wore out its welcome at least a decade ago. Is this the visual equivalent of the ubiquitous husky, gravelly voiceover artist a la Douglas, Morrow, and LaFontaine intoning the same handful of clichés to sell thousands of different films?

Someone could benefit from being cut off from Photoshop filters for a few months.

They're obsessed with ripping off True Detective.

[domino harvey]

Deeply underwhelming slate outside of Emperor of the North

[What A Disgrace]

I'll get Fat City during the next sale, or not.

[Kauno]

Fat City is excellent.

[domino harvey]

It's already out in a deluxe edition in France for probably what you'd pay for a TT release

[bdsweeney]

I've always been curious about Devil In A Blue Dress, but TT releases aren't the time and place (and cost) for blind buys.

[fdm]

Black Widow, wondered if that was one of those titles that would never see a blu-ray. Definitely that one, maybe one or two others.
