Historians agree: if Rivette had never made Celine & Julie, we would never have had Dumb & Dumber.

They didn't make the Bringing Up Baby cover a cartoon. I call that a win.

I’m curious to see the movie just so I can learn how they had $100 bills introduced in 1996 in a film from 1992!domino harvey wrote:Deep Cover more like Best Cover amirite

If Laurence Fishburne doesn't swing both ways I'm suing for false advertising.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7
huh, it's been twenty years since I saw it, but I remember the two women on the cover being the main characters. am I misremembering and the movie is actually about the man you're referencing?
If only they had illustrated the two heads popping out of the letters (instead of photos), we could have a classic criterion illustrated cover that implies the movie about Harold Lloyd and Veronica Lake or something like that!
(I do like the way they did the illustration with the letters on Baby, it's very fun).

I was expecting a lot worse from the next 1930s screwball comedy release and I honestly don't mind the Bringing Up Baby cover though again, why they don't go the WAC route of using the poster art escapes me. But Mirror elicited an eye roll from me: do you have to be that literal? Deep Cover is amazing and makes me want to seek out the film even more.

Is it relevant to the movie that the denomination in the corner is "001" instead of "100"?Ribs wrote:This is extremely funny to me. Even moreso if they tweak the design to fix it

No. While the film is an ensemble of sorts, those two characters drive the narrative. He clearly never saw the film and jumped to a pretty stupid conclusion about why Marianne Jean-Baptiste was on the cover (and I see was later deleted).movielocke wrote:huh, it's been twenty years since I saw it, but I remember the two women on the cover being the main characters. am I misremembering and the movie is actually about the man you're referencing?

I haven't see the film, so it may be a perfect choice but I'm always going to see The Mirror cover in this context:

Oh look, a Cary Grant film where the Cary Grant on the cover actually looks like Cary Grant.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7
That was literally the first thing I thought when I saw it. It may not be a great cover, but we can all breathe a sigh of relief that the figures on it are indeed recognizably the actors in the film.

I don't really hate any of these. Bringing Up Baby is a mess of contrasting design ideas, but it accurately reflects the full-throttled zaniness inside the package. Mirror and Deep Cover are just objectively terrific, and the last two seem appropriate for the material even if they're not Cover of the Year contenders

Mirror isn’t as bad as Stalker’s floss through nuts design, but still amateur. It gives it a sci-fi or psychological drama bend, when it’s obvious what Tarkovsky meant by the name. And somehow all the more wrong to have a play on words representing such a visual film.

Ditch the stupid mirror effect, crop the image a little tighter to eliminate the traces of foliage on the right, and you've got a terrific cover. Sometimes a good still is all you need.RIP Film wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 11:47 pmMirror isn’t as bad as Stalker’s floss through nuts design, but still amateur.

I don't mind the mirror effect, but now I can't unsee that foliage on the right.. which makes the image evoke less of a spiritual gaze and more of an artificially contained picture frame

I don't know much of anything about Bringing Up Baby (I had only heard of it, but after reading more about it, I will give it a watch), but I think the cover is quite good. That bone-shaped "I" in "bringing" makes the cover feel a tad busy, though.

I'd buy a poster of the Bringing Up Baby cover.
