Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet has been moved forward a week to the 28th September.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

From your friends at IGN:

"The film is due September 28 for a suggested price of $29.98. It will sport a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer with both English Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 audio.

Extras include an audio commentary with Michel Gondry and writer Charlie Kaufman, A Look Inside Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind featurette, A Conversation with Jim Carrey and director Michel Gondry featurette (this should be good), deleted scenes and a music video from Polyphonic Spree."

I'm pretty excited about that!

Curious thing though, IGN says that no artwork's been released yet. So, either they're really behind on the times or what we've been seeing is unofficial? Which is more likely, do you think?

We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.

Well at least the dvd and it's cover art isn't as bad as it could've been...

I hate american cover art. They always have to show the actors and fill it with crap like review tag lines. Covers with just some artwork (no faces) and a title is the way to go. Same with posters. Anyone notice how the teaser posters are usually better than the theatrical posters?

QuoteMarketing rules re: movie posters.

Teaser poster: let the artsy kids who actually know a thing or two about basic composition get their rocks off so they'll shut up later on when you make the....

Official poster: in which jaded graphic artists who no longer give a shit cram everything they can into the allotted space, with no regard to the elements of design, because they know what makes the number crunching marketing execs happy.
context, context, context.

DVDanswers.com posted the same artwork that is at the top of this page on their site with this comment...: We've attached the artwork below, although the artwork will be changing shortly.
The Beatles know Jesus Christ has returned to Earth and is in Los Angeles.

29.95 is expensive... I might be mistaken, but I thought Lost in Translation (also Focus Features) was cheaper.  Or at least it didn't FEEL expensive.  Anyway, I only complain because I already know that I'm going to plunk down whatever they charge for the movie.

It's to attract attention and stand out from the shelf to the video consumer searching the many aisles and titles in the store. It's an easy visual reference so one's eye goes right to the actor/actress and you know he/she is in it. The reviews could help sway a renter on the fence about plunking down her/her money to take a chance on a title they are iffy about; and that's what it's all about - money. For a studio to make back some money on a film that didn't do too well in theaters, or make even more money on a movie that did. The cover 'art' is not made for a cinephile to display in his/her collection. It's for the common consumer.
"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art." - Andy Warhol

29.95 is the retail price. If you go to places like Tower Records, Suncoast or Borders they will sell it at that price. But usually retailers like Bestbuy, Target or Circuit City you could pick it up for $19.99. Also, the DVD is on sale the first week it is released.

The DVD specs look real good. I hope the Polyphonic Spree video will be the one directed by Gondry. Check it out, Picolas posted this a while back:

I saw Jesus' Son last night and found some things stylistically, and even in the acting of Billy Crudup, bringing my thoughts to 'Eternal Sunshine'. It was strange, because the movies are REALLY nothing alike, but maybe it was just some of the colors, and the faces Crudup wore.
Not to mention when he was slumping on the Subway train in a Knit Cap.


But Still
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is
30925418372547213457341956487563278 times better IMO.

I've also noticed that if the actors on the cover are looking directly at you, the movie usually rents and sells more.

That's why "Hustler" sells so well.  They seem to follow you...
