I reckon a genuine swimminghorses cover would just use ugly manipulations of an image like the following, maybe with some clipart tanks in the background.perkizitore wrote:Is swimminghorses back?

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol.
It really is amazing. Charming packaging to match an overall stellar release. In the unlikely case that anyone reading this doesn't already know, "Ace in the Hole" also comes with a wonderful newspaper (Albuquerque Sun-Bulletin) style "booklet."

Still adhering hard and fast to the "If Classic Hollywood, then cartoon cover" rule I see.

this is the first time in a while where I personally think all the month's releases have absolutely horrendous cover art. Looking at all those covers aligned with each other... what the hell is that mess?

Not entirely. My Darling Clementine, It Happened One Night and In a Lonely Place to name a few that didn't get the cartoon treatment.ptatler wrote:Still adhering hard and fast to the "If Classic Hollywood, then cartoon cover" rule I see.

Are there really Stand alones of Umbrellas and Rochefort? I'm not seeing them on the site, nor does it seem they've made their usual "April Titles" tweets and site update.

They're listed on the individual pages for those titles. A no brainer, really, with La La Land currently scheduled for its home video release the same day.ng4996 wrote:Are there really Stand alones of Umbrellas and Rochefort?

Thank you! Just seems odd not to have them on the Coming Soon page.

I didn't realise it at first glance but yes, even Tampopo is quite bad (and even the arts from the randomly broken set are pretty waful too).carmilla mircalla wrote:this is the first time in a while where I personally think all the month's releases have absolutely horrendous cover art.

Wow. George Cukor is listed as director on the Woman of the Year page. Sloppy.

More than likely why. The sell sheets are pushing the La La Land connection.captveg wrote:

Woman of the Year cover is based on Jacques Kapralik original artwork he did for the film in 1940's

Tampopo is okay, though the poster was better. Rumble Fish and Buena Vista suck, Woman of the Year I'm indifferent to

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol.
Buena Vista and Tampopo I'm fine with, Woman of the Year is a neat concept, and Rumble Fish is hideous and reminds me of the (equally bad) Mala Noche cover.
I find it odd that the last three months of releases have all had at least one terrible cover (Before Trilogy, Canoa, and now Rumble Fish) after a year with better-than-average cover art.

They were probably occupied trying to file the licensing paperwork for the Hidden Fences release.FrauBlucher wrote:That's what happens when you have hungover interns enter the info.captveg wrote:Now, you can't expect all the t's to be crossed after such a short weekend.FrauBlucher wrote:Wow.

Michael Boland also did The American Friend. Strikingly similar to Rumble Fish.

Also Purple Noon. He really likes those double images of two male stars (though I get that the image below makes literal sense in the movie).mikeyzjames wrote:Michael Boland also did The American Friend. Strikingly similar to Rumble Fish.

I think I blocked out that Purple Noon cover, because I don't remember it being so hideous! Good lord!
