Charles was nice kindling during the final arc of In Treatment, and I'm not even a Sports Night fan. His character was less atypical and eerily more believable than I'd written him off for in the beginning of the series, so that's saying something, but not for this unfortunate movie or its equally ugh homelessnessed box.

He's just trying to hold in the tears while Stephen Baldwin and Lara Flynn Boyle gnaw off his arms.

I haven't seen Threesome but understand it to be about a young woman and two young gay men. But the box would suggest that they are mentally handicapped. Does the film try to portray homosexuality as being some kind of a mental handicap?

I'm pretty sure I saw it on cable when I was in middle school. I vaguely remember Boyle taking a shower and her male roommates try to get in on that bathing action. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately i've seen this and the dvd cover designs are too generous. It's a case of Josh loves Stephen who loves Lara who loves Josh. In college! They solve the conundrum with a quick roll in the bed. Together! Very PC and working upon the basis of 'these kids are confused, they don't know what they want'. Stupid film.

Also the "oh, no! my roommate's a girl because she's got a boy's name and the college got confused when they allocated rooms and yet when this is pointed out they're still not bothered about letting us all share a room together because they're fully booked up" plot seems a little fanciful.

Oh no, that happens quite a lot. You obviously missed out.

The Norman Wisdom cover, apart from inducing convulsions and nausea, also brought about positive thoughts. For example the alternative universe version of Vertigo where Wisdom's disembodied head flies at the camera shouting "Mr Grimsdaaale!"

Who wouldn't want to see Norman in a psychosexual drama of obsession?

dx23, how do you find all these?? Do you just haunt the deepest, darkest annals of area .99 cent dvd barrels?

Too bad the Anne Murray in Jamaica cover doesn't have a picture of her with a crocheted tricolor tam or with a big spliff in her mouth. Someone photoshop that for me.

Hands on a Hard Body is actually a really good documentary. Shame it suffers from such an awful cover.

HOAHB is available on Google Video for viewing. The quality is pretty good.

A lot of the newer ones popped up at the top of the DVDTalk forums

Aha! Much less effort than I imagined was expended to find these, then.

Yes, most of them come up at DVDTalk like domino said. The last three were posted in a thread and others are covers of reviewed DVDs on the site. I also find a lot of them when looking through Amazon.com's new release lists. Others are ones that I remember from the bargain bins.
