Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye Criterion Covers
Yeah I adore Robert Altman’s Philip Marlowe … He’s a slacker, a little slower than the rest but at the end he gets to the bottom of it all. Here is a series of criterion cover concepts for altmans’ Cult Classic !!
it’s okay with me !!

Fake Criterion Cover: BATTLE ROYALE (dir. Kinji Fukasaku) 2000
Designed by: Robert Nishimura (Primolandia Productions)
seemed like a good time to post this, what with
Battle Royale’s AmericanremakeThe Hunger Games coming out this week. and what better way to kick off your week than with thoughts of kids ritualistically murdering each other? none. none better way.Fukasaku’s modern classic is certainly worthy of Criterion consideration, its righteous anger palpable and its influence more apparent with every passing day. Robert Nishimura makes a habit of turning classic Japanese films into Criterion editions too beautiful for this world, and his hyper-conceptual take on Battle Royale is one of my favorites, its innocent veneer masking the savagery within… but don’t hold your breath for the real thing — Anchor Bay is releasing this on Blu-Ray tomorrow.
I made it
Yay!
