It's nice to know that even retailers have to deal with crushed, dinged, and dogeared digipaks even before they pass them on to their customers.

I'll say it again: I must be living in some bizarro universe, because I've never had a digi dinged or crushed, whether I bought it online or in a brick n mortar store. Meanwhile, I have to deal with discs falling off the spindles in my regular cases.

Yeah, you must. I almost never get floaters in regular cases, but every Criterion digipak I've gotten so far has been at least slightly crushed.

Sounds like you're batting about .1000, huh? That's pretty good if your a ball player.

Well-veiled snarky comment or misplaced decimal, Anthony? The people wanna know!

I've only gotten one digipack that looked bothered by travel at all, while I've gotten a number of alpha packages with weird warped plastic issues (almost like it had been in extreme heat from some time) and floating damaged discs. I really don't care either way, but digipack is fine with me. It seems that this is a pretty evenly divided issue, maybe a poll would clear up how the silent people feel about it? It's been a while since we had one (a poll, that is.)

I can't wait to see a Le Corbeau-style cover with the new CC logo.

I forgot about the previous disc-on-disc action because I switched the case for the normal double kind.

You don't think they'll ever have another hand-drawn/painted cover? Seems almost inevitable they will.

I think death monkey means they will never again use a cover that has been hand drawn by a young child.

blasphemy!
I'm more hoping that CC isnt too in love with the new design so that they might try out a hand drawn logo.

Oh noes, i guess Criterion won't be employing me to create a new hand drawn cover by my child slaves that live in my sweatshop under the Chinese Resteraunt.

Yes, but the question is does visually striking = good?

Oh my goodness. Absolutely excellent, all of them. These are some of the most beautiful covers I've yet seen on Criterion releases. =D> As far as the best horror film covers in the collection, these come pretty dern close to dethroning Equinox.

All of them are so wonderful. The Atomic Submarine and Corridors of Blood are my favorite. It looks like a lot of time went into these covers. Great job Criterion (i know you are looking, criterion spies).
