The entire Criterion Facebook experience can be distilled into this single exchange:
Bill Melidoneas: But seriously Rhine I hope Criterion really looks at this cover you f-ing nailed it. If they ever do release 'Performance' they should pay you to use some variation of this.

Not to get all personal, but how creepy-looking is swimminghorses? I'm kind of taken aback by the fact that he's a retired older man and not a 14-year-old who whines and cries on the Coachella message boards or something.

I'm so confused; was swimminghorses was the alter ego of a forum member? I didn't think he was a "real" person, so I am kind of bewildered that he has a Facebook profile. Then again, I didn't pay close attention to the flameout and ban, so I may be mistaken.

Swimminghorses/so lightly here was a former member here who went insane, took to expressing his insanity via seizure-inducing fan cover art, and then got
banned. Twice.

Even better, Godwin's law is in full effect: in the comments after his
Performance cover, we're compared to Nazis who migrated to South America.
My wife tells me all the time that I'm tedious, but I've always aspired to elitism and "friendiness." I've finally made it, ma!!

upscaling with genuine fractals doesn't help, most of the printed papers on the right and left have been sharpied through (even the email addresses up in the headers of the pages on the right) and the hand written stuff in the center has all been blurred. The cover art behind Orpheus is interesting, as is the other cover art in the upper right.

Actually you should have played this so that, at the end of a thread of increasingly blurry and compromised enlargements, you found clear evidence that they were releasing
Blow-Up.

If anyone really wants to get into it, facebook recently introduced higher resolution images--of which this is one--which can be obtained by clicking download under the image.
I see Random Movies, MK2 List - 13 pic deal, ifc list, Cinecitta list and Gamount List. On the first handwritten page Quatsi Trilogy is circled in the top right, there seems to be another Trilogy obscured by the hand and the only name I can make out is Gorin at the top of the list below that.

Is that the Trial of Joan of Arc near the bottom of the MK2 list?
I see Spartacus at the bottom of the list Life of Oharu is on, too. Maybe someone could start marking up the ones we've figure out, as we did with the New Years clue?
Oh, shit, that's Ministry of Fear right above Spartacus!
