I can deal with the cover for the three-disc set, but the two-discer... ugh. Nothing like some heavily-Photoshopped cankles to sell discs, eh boys?

That is so horrendously bad---especially disappointing since it's coming from Warner. Otherwise, I'm speechless.

I agree. the 2 disc cover is bad. AAH ITS SO BRIGHT! 8-) [worst wizard of oz dvd cover.... ever!!]

the 3 disc cover i actually quite like, with the dark shadow of the witch and the old style font.

Check out the specs on the 3-disc set. I think it comes with an actual munchkin enclosed.

Hate to complain about BFI but what's with the poorly selected screen cap?

In all fairness, this cover wouldn't be so bad for a Bunuel film.

yes probably, they seem to have covered everything else.

one thing though, is the munchkin region free?

I guess it could have been worse, but only just. (pan n' scan to boot!)

A ploy to force everyone to buy the more pricey 3 discer? Cunning.

I'm sorry to mock a harmless typo, but that sentence is going on a t-shirt of mine sometime soon.

Typo?

Crutch
noun
1 a long stick with a crosspiece at the top, used as a support under the armpit by a lame person.
• [in sing. ] figurative a thing used for support or reassurance : they use the Internet as a crutch for their loneliness.
2 archaic another term for crotch (of the body or a garment).

Hmm...I didn't know until right now that "crutch" could be used as a synonym for "crotch" (which I assumed you meant originally). My apologies then, and rest assured, I will never read "A Christmas Carol" the same way again.

The Muppet cover is proof that all the people working at Henson studios are psychodelic hippies. And Kermit is licking too many toads.

My ex is the stepdaughter of one of the Muppets, and you know what? You're right!

Right now all I can picture is you dating a miniature (and female) Sam the Eagle... It just popped in there!

Edit: and 2 minutes later my brain had to go there and imagine how kinky the bedroom scene must've been. I'm sorry, but if I have to think it, so does everyone else.

I never noticed this before but with an ethereal gun obscuring his face David Arquette could easily pass for a Baldwin with hair curlers.
