Yea I'm aware that if it is CMYK screen printed it has a tell-tale process dot pattern (sorry if I didn't word it well). I've just never seen that characteristic pattern on a regular solid colour screen print before. Normally you can pore over a print and see the separations but this has more of the appearance of a CMYK print where you can see the layered colours. I'll take a better look later on, that was just my first reaction before I let it flatten.

Just to clarify, I don't mean to bash it or anything, I'm just a nerd when it comes to print. I remember a convo recently with Dan Black from Landland about the technique he uses for his CMYK prints - fascinating stuff.

oh yea didnt think you were bashing. I was just confused. E.T. is a 9 color spot layer print that used half-tones as gradients which is probably why its giving you that impression.

If you fold it a certain way it becomes a knife

Interesting that the fold lines don't go through the title/credits as well.

Less "interesting" and more "amateur hour".

Curious to know how they'll handle the price mistake on the Halloween Variant. Was listed at $50 instead of $60 for the first 2 minutes or so and then they fixed it. I'm guessing they'll just honor it for those that got in.

Isn't that always how the tagline is presented?

I have no idea. It just struck me as odd, like he's God or something. On the original poster, the whole tagline is written in title case, so it makes sense.
