Pop Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) The cover art is mimicry of the Criterion Collection, a line of DVDs / Blu-Rays of "significant" films (often the outputs of notable auteurs like Kurosawa or Truffaut but also things like Armageddon) Criterion is credited with inventing commentary tracks and special features back in the early 90's when they were still relegated to laserdiscs. They are expensive (a single film usually runs $60-100, generally) but all aspects of the package are held to ridiculously high standards, from the minimalist cover art to liner notes to the picture, which is usually remastered by hand over the course of several years from original prints. They usually contain essays on the film by film scholars and numerous commentary tracks from the cast & crew but also film scholars, all of which tend to be excellent. Most of the time they contain at least one feature-length documentary on the film. By and large they are the ultimate film package. For a cinephile they are an absolutely perfect gift. The Seven Samurai, as an example Edited April 11, 2009 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaftan Barlast Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 yes, these covers are really...awesome *cough* DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoch Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Things like this always remind me that I have no familiarity whatever with the majority of famous games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
