Yea I agree lemdog...I can't help but be underwhelmed by the Naked cover.
I prefer this French edition cover.
Extras look awesome though

Criterion's laserdisc had a dark green cover with a bar code printed on it in slightly lighter green print. I'd attach a pic but it doesn't photograph clearly.
I liked it, but it's not the kind of thing that jumps out at you on a retailer shelf.

Does anyone else think the cover for The Man Who Fell To Earth is just a little... I don't know... pretentious? Artsy fartsy? Awful? I know this is Criterion, a company that has ushered some creative and beautiful artwork (no floating heads here!), but come on... this movie? That cover? Blech.

I'm not loving that Masculin-Feminin cover, but I have to say it shows the shallow petulance of that character really well.

It is. It's David Thewlis.

The Naked cover is decent, but could use a different font. The Man Who Fell to Earth could also be better with a different font, and maybe not taking up the whole cover for the title. However, the Masculin Feminin blows. It's way too cluttered, and may be up there for worst Criterion cover yet.

The last 2 posts reflect my feelings on these covers as well. It's all about the fonts used, and their placement. I think the images are really good, but the title text is beyond bad! On Naked and The Man Who Fell To Earth, they both look like preliminary text, just to give a 'rough' idea of the placement. It's hard to imagine that that's how it'll end up. It just doesn't look professional.
