In a move not too dissimilar from the Asda
Berberian affair, Richard Trank's sober documentary
I Have Never Forgotten You: The Life & Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal has undergone a bit of a transformation for its upcoming DVD re-release...

That's just great. Who wants to see a portrait of a complex and interesting Holocaust survivor when you can look at a swastika and a gun on a DVD cover for the billionth time?

Pretty standard with the fake-looking hovering giants and ridiculous tagline, but I love the large dolphin leaping into the air just a few yards from the water's edge.

We are promised "danger", so I guess that would qualify.

They are being haunted by their more-scantily-clad future selves. Perhaps it's a warning about the dolphin.

The (utterly failed) attempt to photoshop that gal's head onto that body is fascinating.

I've got it: they go for a dip, and while they're in there, the dolphin steals their clothes (which is why it's so dangerously close to the shore). Then they have to spend the rest of the movie dressed as Koreans. Twice.

So that's what Three Resurrected Drunkards was missing. A cheeky dolphin!

You know, we've had a lot of dumb covers and ugly covers and just incompetently-made covers, but I think that one wins. It's so stupid in so many ways, including the fact that there are only 9 men pictured and only one of them looks even perturbed.

To be honest, I thought you'd stayed up all night on Photoshop concocting a pisstake to top Peerpee's Artificial Eye efforts. But. . . this is real?!

It looks like Fonda's going to have to cut a Cobb.

I love how Lee Cobb is being held back when he looks like he's about to fall asleep.

Is Henry Fonda using that knife to make a frowny face like Lillian Gish uses her fingers to make a smiley face in Broken Blossoms?

I don't know, but I look forward to the same artist's eventual Blu-ray cover for Broken Blossoms. I'm envisioning broken glass around the border and the wrong Gish sister.

My favorite part has to be the knife sticking out of the ground, even though Fonda is clearly holding the knife. Are they the targets of a failed assassination? Is the Puerto Rican kid proving his guilt by trying to throw his knife at Fonda?

Well, there were two knives - the one taken off the kid and the one Fonda bought. That doesn't make the cover any less awful, though.

Also, isn't it meant to be kind of a shocking moment in the film when Fonda produces the identical knife? I don't understand why they'd want to ruin that moment on the cover.

It's an interactive cover and the other three men are you?

Particularly since the introduction of evidence not subject to discovery or presented at trial should result in a mistrial.

Fonda looks like he's auditioning for Lady Macbeth
