absolutely terrible cover art by criterion...sometimes it is jut better to use the original poster art...which in this case is so much better

I agree. I also never liked the cover art for Cujo when it was just the fence. WTF was that?

They've definitely screwed up a few recent ones. "Something Wild"'s classic goofy poster has been replaced by some weird arty green drawing of handcuffs with a heart in them.

"Blow Out" has a cool Criterion cover, though.

Nope, I'm referring to the new Criterion:

Criterion's new issues always have the "C" in the upper left in some color, plus the year of the movie's release and "The Criterion Collection" in the lower left in the same color.

I love the Criterion image of Travolta sitting depressed surrounded by tapes. It corresponds to one of the best scenes in the movie and the numerous tapes are like the equivalent of the warehouse at the end of Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

It is available on Blu-Ray, yes. Criterion typically makes the best releases out there in any format.

Body Double isn't yet on bluray. You might be thinking of Blow Out.

That's "Blow Out"
