Almost Criterions...but not at all, really.

Does anyone else find it amusing that the Koch Visions Cinema Sirens Collection covers attempt to approximate the look of Criterion Collection covers but fail miserably?

Do you mean the ones with the attractive ladies posing in demure one-piece bathing suits with actresses' heads photo-shopped to them, the most hilariously inappropriate one being the Deneuve cheesecake photo for, of all movies, "REPULSION"?

Yeah... seen those. A larf and a half. And a cry.

Yep, it sure looks like it.

Go here for the saddest DVD cover ever created by the most clueless morons ever to commit photoshop atrocities: http://207.136.67.23/film/dvdcompare/repulsion.htm

[Scroll down and look for the yellow cover with "Deneuve" in a purple polka-dot one piece... again, for the film "REPULSION" of all things!]

Oh my god! I hadn't seen that cover of Repulsion before, and it is beyond awful! It makes it look like a '50s beach movie or something. I'm sure someone who bought the movie on a blind buy (perhaps just from the cover) had quite the interesting viewing experience when that DVD got home.

Girl With A Suitcase is ordered, but it's the Ivy release...which is superior to the Koch.

Actually, they look more like the fox Marilyn Monroe sets to me.
