Its also inexplicably missing the commentary track.

The Special Edition of Unbearable Lightness of Being has cheesy cover art.  I'm reluctant to buy it because the cashier will think I'm purchasing a porno film.
Music is your best entertainment value.

That's what Amazon's for.  Plus, you'll probably get it cheaper online.

I still haven't bought Exotica for that exact same reason.  Which is weird, because I have no compunction about buying actual porn in a store.

For the sake of illustration:


Now tell me that wouldn't make you blush when you're handing it across the counter to the cute check-out girl at Best Buy.

Little known fact: dictionary.com gets their words of the day by following me around with a tape recorder.  I'm hella eloquent.

You think she's gonna tell all the cute girls at the Cute Girls meetings that you bought what she thinks is softcore porno?

"Hi, what's your name?"
"You're the porno guy, aren't you?"

Nothing says "Quality Cinema" like poorly photoshopped heads.

the new Congo looks like a comedy about the search for a giant gorilla gummy head that morphs depending on whether someone's head is in front of it.

Looks like a comedy or some Disney flick. Easily one of the worst DVD cover's I've seen in awhile.

I like the original...seems more mysterious. The new picture is just too clear and Hopkins doesn't need to be foregrounded. It's not about him.

Not only that... The film isn't in COLOR!
