DOH!! as soon as i read your post it leaped out at me...ugh. oh well.

Syndromes and a Century is a little hard to read for the average joe, but really, you guys should be able to figure out just by knowing who the director is. I would have expected a lot more Weerasethakul fans here.

So, it's our fault we can't read the title?

I often look for ways to blame the victim.

Plenty of that going around in the "Polanski arrested" thread. :-"

It's not your fault, I'm just surprised that here of all places people don't know their Weerasethakul.

I knew what film it was right away, but it took a few moments to piece together the letters. As long as the title was clear on the spine, I think it'd be ok, though.

As it just so happens, I did make an image for the spine too, though I never really planned on posting it. I'm not, however, guaranteeing it will make the title any easier to read!



I am very sorry to have "victimized" all of you with my hard to read internet picture. I realized, looking back at the cover that it was probably a mistake to have had the edges of the letters merge into the frames of the windows, which I have tried to rectify by shrinking them down a bit. However, if you're still having trouble reading my hand-drawn letters, I'm afraid I can't do much more about it. Maybe another eager young web artist might step up to the Weerasethakul plate?

Also, I do agree that if my font is unreadable, it is my failure. I don't really want people to have to say "Well, I sort of recognize the picture, so. . ."

Spine looks good. I'd like to see the final scene from the film tried as a cover - the public aerobics thing. I was in Bangkok a couple of months ago and I caught one of these going on, and was mesmerised. It was just like walking into the film. Best 'location' experience I ever had (although obviously it wasn't the same location, just the same scenario). Almost on a par with visiting Ozu's grave.

that's really pretty.

For what it's worth, Klaylock, I've never seen Syndromes (and have heard about it largely through this forum), but I still saw pretty quickly what the title on that cover was - and though I can't say whether it fits the film or not, I think it's an awesome cover. The spine looks great too.

Klaylock, I love that Marquise of O cover. Splendid job. =D>

Great cover for the Rohmer film! I'd like to see the guy who mistakes it for softcore porn, though! He's in for a surprise when he watches it.

Nice one regarding Marquis of O. I'm not familiar with the film...I take it the cover shot is from the movie itself?

I have to say, as someone who eventually puzzled out the Syndromes cover, I can't read the text on the Rohmer one at all.

Yeah, I thought it said Mayonnaise of O.

And that looks like Val Kilmer on line three.

Have never seen the movie but the cover is simply ravishing - no problem with the font here.

Shouldn't that be a cue stick in his hand?
