why do I get the impression he’s just bought 200 copies of the ToC, separated the steels for this edition and is now sitting on 200 patches, pins & PET box slips to put up on the bay ....... separately
I"ve felt that way about a number of CMA releases. I appreciate their enthusiasm for original artwork, but it can result in editions that have no unifying visual theme, which I find jarring.
What I hope for in a 2001 edition is something that references more than one segment of the film. Everything about this CMA set is focused on Dave in the red spacesuit. There is more to the film than that. Also, there is no outer space visible in this edition, for a movie called A Space Odyssey.
