Its great to see Borgnine still kicking, he's now looking like something out of Jim Henson's creature shop... (With "Merlin's Shop Of Mystical Wonders" being the king of that)

What to do when killer sharks or dinosaurs just aren't frightening any more and you have a couple of TV movies to make? Call Roger Corman in to up the ante!:

Corman should get an option on the creature from this story: "It's a bear ... but it has a snake body ... and it has bats for arms"

Sharktopus sounds like the kind of movie that should be seen on the opposite of Blu-ray

At least the included bookmark will make your Grapes of Wrath book report an easier prospect.

My copy of the Welles Jane Eyre had the same crap- evidently there's a whole series of them. Barnes and Noble never met a re-branding they didn't like.

I didn't notice this with the little icon image when I ordered this, but seeing the actual cover to the DVD-R of Screaming Mimi -- my god this film poster has one of the most defective attempts at foreshortening I've ever seen. Her left arm is sort of passable, but her right one looks like it's ten inches long. I'm hoping people can see what I mean in this image.

I love that they couldn't be bothered to properly cut her hair out in the top photo.

This is exactly what the actual cover looks like, misalignment and all.

It's a shame they couldn't have just pushed that no-name little girl out of the frame so Bridges and Damon could have some comfortable standing room.

That really is pathetic. Not as pathetic as the Academy refusing her the Best Actress nomination, but still pathetic.
