I know scissors play a role in the movie, but...

I love those covers for Darjeeling and Antichrist. They would be great Criterion covers. Can't say I like that Thin Red Line cover though.

I was very excited about The Darjeeling Limited until I went to the amazon page and saw "The Darjeeling Express".

Hello.

This is more of a technical question, I watched my copy of Gommorah last night (A masterpiece), I have watched it before, but I notice during the scene where the two boys go to the strip joint/brothel, the bright red lights showed extreme posterization. I am sensitive to posterization, and I have not notice it from my first viewing of the movie. Has anyone notice or experience it while watching Gommorah?

I have to disagree solely on the premise that those fan-created covers are simply using poster art for both "The Darjeeling Limited" and "Antichrist." While the images are great for stand-alone poster artwork, I don't feel as if they're fitting enough for a Criterion release. So, here's to hoping that Criterion's art department is able to put something a bit more creative thought into the cover artwork on the actual releases.

Seriously. I was just thinking the same thing.

I was making a joke about the releases, but a true joke.

Don't sweat it dude. For all the crap and dubious labels like "pretentious" that seem to get thrown your way, you're one of the more rational people that posts in this thread

Thank you sir. If only I had you guys about 3-4 hours ago.

About Antichrist, does anyone know what they spent $11 million on that this film allegedly cost? The film was shot over just 40 days and is almost entirely shot with two actors. I'm guessing most of it was special effects, editing, pay for Willem Defoe and limos to drive Lars Von Trier all over Europe for the shoots (since he has all sorts of phobias).

It just doesn't seem like the sort of movie that should have cost that much to make.

Go ahead dude. On the internet you can do whatever you put your mind to (Disney music starts playing).

For regular studio releases those would be perfect, but Criterion will definitely but a more originial and subdued spin on them, methinks

Why does someone think he is pretentious? It is true that The Seven Samurai is considered one of the greatest films of all time by several sources, critics and lists. It is Kurosawa's Magnum Opus and that fact can't be disputed. Would you be more happy with The Hidden Fortress? Maybe High and Low? Ikru? Do you just not prefer Kurosawa at all?

Since you do not seem happy with this film being released what films would you like to see released? If they were never released on DVD then the chances of them coming to Blu are slim to none.
