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

And now we've officially run out of things to discuss on our discussion forum

Sigh. Well I guess I'll just shut it all down then.

We had a good run there at the end with Domino's Pizza, at least

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

I was laughing pretty hard at that one. At least we will always have the memories.

I assume just to save money on a reissue that might not sell all that well.

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.

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.
Joke aside, it's not like I care or so, it's just those small things in life that can make one chuckle.

Because we're all the same color...to the Predator

New titles are up!

Ooooooh, A Face in the Crowd.

Love the Diamonds of the Night cover.

Face and Diamonds are both great

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?

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.

First thing I thought of was this:

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?

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