It reminds me of a false head that's been lopped off in some cheap Italian production.

I like the Carnival cover
It's not been confirmed for the UK though has it? Next batch of announcements will be next week.

Well John Waters Mulitple Maniacs is coming from Criterion, in the US at least. I wonder if it'll get a UK release as well?

Is that a DVD release tho?

This press release suggests that it is going to be cinema screenings

John Waters' Multiple Maniacs Restored by The Criterion Collection and Janus Films

I don't know details are rather scarce at the moment, from the research I've done online it's possibly a blu release. Though if it was just DVD that would be great news in itself. John Waters is the definition of cult cinema!

Why the **** did Criterion put their EXCELLENT package of DR STRANGELOVE in a shitty digipak?

The usual clear case would have been far better.

It's like Scanners,Night of the Hunter and On The Waterfront.....keep them uniform please!
