• Criterion designer extraordinaire Eric Skillman used a distinctive drawing style of his own devising for our release of Fassbinder’s Berlin Alexanderplatz (and blogged about it here and here). Sitting across from him in a meeting the other day, we noticed that his phone bears an image from The Steel Helmet that he’s given the same treatment—he had his file made into this skin here. If only he’d start a sideline in making these (he won’t); our mouths are watering at the possibilities.

    That is so awesome. If Criterion developed a line of iPhone cases, I would buy one for every day of the week. David Blakeslee recently wrote about The Steel Helmet over on CriterionCast: http://criterioncast.com/2010/06/14/a-journey-through-the-eclipse-series-samuel-fullers-the-steel-helmet/

    I could easily imagine a 'golden helmet' with the beautiful Simone Signoret.

    If there was at least one of these with the "Alexanderplatz" Franz B. drawing, I would probably buy not only it, but an iPhone to put it on.

    I liked the 2 disc directors cut of that phone skin so much better. 20 never seen previously unreleased deleted texts Including a commentary track by the movie phone guy And of course, trailer and international trailer and Spanish Language Track.
