So Munchie is a gremlin, dressed as The Fonz, flying on a pizza, and voiced by Dom DeLuise? And then they throw Loni Anderson, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Arte Johnson in the mix as if that wasn't enough? I think I need to lie down.
I can almost hear the omniscient voiceover for the Munchie trailer, booming, "And Dom DeLuise as the voice of Munchie!"
It reminds me of that funny Dennis Miller stand-up bit (when he was actually funny) where he talks about cinema in the South, treating the Cannonball Run movies as sacred texts, breaking up into discussion groups afterwards to talk about Dom DeLuise as a reoccurring Christ figure and tricky Burt Reynolds subtext...
Why do I get the feeling from that cover that Reagan is going to have his way with the monkey? Something about that cover really creeps me out and is just wrong in general.

its because reagan looks evil, while the monkey [and who can blame him?] looks slightly scared.
I like how in the Munchie sequel Loni Anderson gets replaced by Leslie Ann Downs. But hey WKRP fans, fret not, 'cuz Howard Hessman is on the scene. I have got to check those out.

That's crazy! Is that the Olivier Hamlet? Criterion still put it on a dual-layered disc on its own. I can only imagine what the image quality would be on that. Probably still better than that atrocious cover, though.
Yes, it's the Olivier "Hamlet", and I am as well curious how all that fits on one DVD. But then, disgust, fear and repulsion are much stronger than curiosity.
