fear and loathing cover art revelation

sphinx · January 23, 2003, 12:02:28 AM

everyone remember that fake cover art i made almost a year back that made it's rounds all over the internet? well, this has nothing to do with it. but still, i find it interesting.

criterion's cover art for the film, which we've all seen before

and suddenly, this strange, fake looking cover art from dvdempire.

i have come to the conclusion that the dvdempire cover art is correct, and here's why: since this is a 2 disc release, and criterion is publishing all their new 2 disc releases in a regular 2 disc case (like traffic and 8 1/2), but also putting a box around it (like the royal tenenbaums). i suspect that this 'box' that's around the regular case is transparent, and only has the title and those bats on it, which explains why everything has an odd shadow. if any of you have seen the case for the 3 disc set of toy story, you'll know what i'm talking about here. it's a really cool idea, and i'm pretty sure that's what they're doing here.

criterion also did something similar to that (transparent case thing) with brazil 3 disc set.

yes, yes, sphinx... good work.

sphinx, you should put an actual size copy of your version up for us to print out so we can slide it into their version.

It's a tad pricey, but I think it's really good.

Seems almost a waste of the disk to have the edited version though... just because you could really only want to watch it once with commentary.

Yeah, the money thing IS a problem taking in consideration that i dont have any. I only have an avi version in medium shitty QT on my computer but since i think it is one of the most unique and mindblowing films ever i just have to get the fattest edition available.

brazil criterion collection is a very important dvd, especially if youre an aspiring filmmaker. youll learn alot about editing, the butchered 94 minute version is a must.

God that movie sucked ass.

I've never cared for Hunter S. Thompson, either.

I guess I just don't get it.

that is understandable, since from a certain perspective the movie has little plot or structure.
