Obviously. I only posted it because I was all like "Where the fuck's Michael Douglas and his badass jacket-and-shades combo?"

The most shameful thing about that cover is the loss of Dalton's chin to high collar.

I didn't bother to figure out if this is porn or just the new type of explicit indie film.
The tagline is incredibly dumb.

I fixed the link above to a large photo,

Ice Cube is wondering how he could have gone from being an above average rapper to the star of shitty movies. Oh and he's also confused as to how he can get his realn name, O'Shea Jackson, to jive with his mean guy persona.

That Nobody Is Peferct cover does have kind of a hectoring tagline - "Think of your best sexual fantasy. Now think of a better one...No, that's no good. Try harder and see if you can make it original! Sigh, well if bondage, nipple clamps and piercings are the best you can come up with we'll have to make do with that"

As for the film, I've no idea whether it is 'legit' or not but the Mirwais connection would seem to suggest that it is an attempt to do a feature length version of one of their more famous music videos.

Well, at least now I've got an idea what to get my friends who love Timothy Dalton and Jeremy Brett.

I hadn't realized either, but the title is apparently No Body Is Perfect (2006), and it seems to be just vile exploitation and sexual freak show material. Surprisingly it screened at the Transylvanian Film Festival in the Summer of 2007, spawning the only 2 IMDb comments. One garish, mishmash of a cover.

Speaking of Horrible "Insert Random Words Here" Editions

Your eagle claw is no match for his elephant's testicle.

Ugh. Double ugh. But this is outweighed by my joy that this movie is finally getting upgraded from the previous bare-bones release.

DVDTimes lists the specs as follows:

* Anamorphic Widescreen
* 2.0 Surround, 5.1 Surround, Mono
* English, French and Spanish audio and subtitle options
* Getting There is Half the Fun: The Story of Planes Trains and Automobiles
* John Hughes for Adults
* John Candy
* Deleted Scene - "Airplane Food"

Doesn't sound like a must-have upgrade on paper unless it gets great reviews and a noticeably improved image (the film, for my money, is John Hughes' best in a string of very good to great comedies, not just of the 80s but any period - he is sorely missed!)

It would have been better if it was the "Wipe that Stupid Fucking Smile Off Your Face" Edition.

Mohr is holding that gun like he's at a tea party

Wow...no less than nine star credits on the box! So this is like a Robert Altman of comedic star vehicles. But let's be upfront, though a comedy, only two of them provided any laughs. hmmm.

You actually have seen this? 8-[

The quote on the box mentions only two people a being funny.

The cover is not that bad, is just the tagline and the director. Our friend, Sticky Fingaz, is back!

The specs are a bit typical of a special edition with a line of dialogue as the title of the DVD, but I'm disappointed that John or Paramount wasn't able to put together the 3-hour cut of the movie that's been talked about.
