I must admit I have purchased a few Criterion Collection DVD’s over the years not so much for the films, but for the stunning DVD box art. So, so good. I’m such a sucker for a beautiful image and simple, considered typography, and it doesn’t get much better than this. Oh, and the films are not to bad either ; ) I just want them all!

You heard about the 50% off special Barnes & Nobel is running, right? It ends tonight! http://video.barnesandnoble.com/u/DVD-The-Criterion-Collection-of-Special-Edition-DVDs/379000756/?cds2Pid=32128
I honestly can’t even afford to look…it’s too dangerous for my bank balance.

Gold!
I saw a broad selection of Criterion DVDs in China earlier this year and I was blown away at the print quality and level of detail of the ‘fake’ covers. It’s like even the fake Criterion consumers demand quality.
