I myself wonder why some releases have a back cover blurb written in Justify and others don't.

To add on, I've always wondered why some of the inner prints are a straight black, like Yi Yi or Fish Tank.

I assume just to save money on a reissue that might not sell all that well.Boosmahn wrote:To add on, I've always wondered why some of the inner prints are a straight black, like Yi Yi or Fish Tank.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7
Well, yes and no. Criterion's covers (+ spines and backcovers) follow quite strict patterns, so it's always surprising to stumble of the few that don't. I recall for instance the story with the slightly misaligned spines a few years ago.domino harvey wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 6:43 pmAnd now we've officially run out of things to discuss on our discussion forum

If slightly misaligned spines surprise you and warrant discussion, you might want to try going outdoors once in a while. There’s trees and flowers and people and stuff out there.

Well, this is the criterionforum, not the treesandflowersandpeopleandstuffforum.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7
And the individual covers for the Police Story films:
I know that this is probably appearing because of the UK Eureka releases but this does make me wonder whether this might bode well in the future for a release of Police Story III: Supercop, previously released by Criterion on Laserdisc.

These cover images are all more square-shaped than normal. This isn't a packaging change, is it?

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7
I can't speak to the ones that swo posted but I resized the two Police Story ones so they would not display too large.

I usually don't care too much about the cover art, but god the entire police story package is horrible.

A Face in the Crowd and Diamonds of the Night are both great, although the images on the Police Story set look very uncanny to me.

I agree. Exquisite, especially the latter! But is it just me or the guy on the FITC one is pointing at his derriere?domino harvey wrote:Face and Diamonds are both great

Love the eighties look of the police story package, looks very fun.
