The Koker Trilogy artwork is indeed great, understated but beautiful.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7
Same. I forget what the consensus was here on the cover but overall it's a very handsome package

I was ok with the Blue Velvet cover to begin with, but realizing that removing the digipack cover kind of evokes pulling back a curtain makes it a bit more clever to me. I like it.cdnchris wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 12:05 amBlue Velvet - though mild, I'd say it's NSFW
Blue Velvet's front cover uses a metallic ink for the blacks so there's a cool little effect when you shift it in the light.

And with this, spine #212 has been disappeared from the Criterion Collection.
Well, only if the DVD box set doesn't have the number on the fourth disc. Anybody know if that's the case or not?

*shrug*, they did the same thing to the cassavetes set to zero outcry, I don't see the problem here either.

In the DVD set Ingmar Bergman Makes a Movie is its own disc and has a spine number of 212. It's found on the disc for Winter Light in the Blu-ray set.
Cassavetes set assigned 256 to A Constant Forge for the DVD set. It is found on the disc for Shadows in the Blu-ray set.
Fanny and Alexander's Blu-ray release had all four spine numbers collapsed down to one: 261.

Which means there are no #212, 256, and whatever numbers were assigned to Fanny

This is also true for the BD releases of Grey Gardens / The Beales of Grey Gardens, and The Seventh Seal / Bergman Island. I'm sure there are another few as well.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7
Which is why I saw those releases in half to be able to renumber the spines

They exist and a person for whom those numbers are terribly important can just get the dvd and have the precious possession of the numbers. :-pdda1996a wrote:Which means there are no #212, 256, and whatever numbers were assigned to Fanny
I half seriously hope that the koker numbering conundrum indicates they’re just going to stop numbering box set shells altogether going forward.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7
They should prolong hitting the 1000th spine by reassigning these missing box set numbers for whatever is left to release at the end of the year. Would absolutely make no sense but that makes it even funnier.

Hedwig gets digipak treatment over War and Peace. Baffling.

Well, you have
vs.PLUS: An essay by critic Stephanie Zacharek, and (on the Blu-ray) portraits of Hedwig by photographer Mick Rock, illustrations by animator Emily Hubley, and excerpts from two texts that inspired the film: Plato’s Symposium and The Gospel of Thomas
so I would imagine the printed material influenced the packaging.PLUS: An essay by critic Ella Taylor

Yes, I was hoping and was sure for no particular reason War and Peace would be a digipak. Would’ve been great to see some more of those beautiful watercolor drawings.McNulty wrote:Hedwig gets digipak treatment over War and Peace. Baffling.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7
Polyester is probably my favorite of the year so far. Cluny Brown is undoubtedly the worst. I wish they had done something more with The Cloud Capped Star, I know that's the films most ubiquitous image, but it just seems rather bland. Overall a good month though in terms of releases.

I won't restate the obvious, but is everyone fine with The Circus? It's not awful, but I don't think it's very good either. Polyester and Local Hero are great though
