if you read more of the thread, and what is reasonably clever, is that he has put spine numbers on the fake south park covers which actually correspond to real spine numbers in the criterion collection that each cover is "inspired" by.

sorry, but you can't just post that image with no mention of where/how you got it...

Great. However that image looks fake.

That was kind of the point. It took me about 5 minutes. I could have gone all out and made it look real, then posted it small in a ebay screenshot with text like "SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE CRITERION VERY RARE NOT YET RELEASED!!!!" beside it, and then tell you all that it was gone when i checked again.

I figured that was going a little too far.

I actually really dig the cover.

Sure beats Masculin-Feminin anyway.

This is got to be authenic. Who is gonna make a cover like that and post it on eBay. My senses tell me that this is real. Maybe coming in December or January.

ummm... I did. sorry cinephrenic. all photoshop.

see how I cropped one of the lower honeycombs to allow for more room for the title? It was a really quick job.

Not too crazy about the cover. Too dated in design. Same artwork as the British poster.

Every single frame of the film is breathtaking enough to use for the cover.

I don't like that artwork that Criterion have used. It looks like it was created by some wanker at the Criterion Forums.

I don't think they get it.

Oh believe me I got it first time I laid my eyes on your "cover". I just wanted to throw in a criticism of your choice of the artwork..blah blah.
