If you guys are right, then this could be the first case of something that was "really hard" to accomplish ever appearing on an MGM release.

I was going to split all of this but am just too tired to come up with a clever title.

At any rate: The Times of Harvey Milk

Oh yeah, and there's a note on the Topsy Turvy artwork inside the booklet. I'll give a brief sample here:
Joge-e -- "up-and-down" or "two-way" pictures -- were a style of woodblock print in mid- to late-nineteenth-century Japan playfully depicting faces and figures that could be viewed either right side up or upside down, resulting in two different, often opposite, images [...]

It looked (slightly) better before. I can't help but see a cyclops with a beard now.
I've been thinking about this and I've decided that this cover is indeed going to look so much better when you turn the entire package upside down - so that the cover is facing whatever surface the package is resting on. Just wait and see!

It will look even better among the rest of your discs on the shelf when all you can see is the spine.

The Great Dictator cover was changed to red because Chaplin was a big Communist and adored the Nazi Communist Hitler much like Obama admires him and is a Socialist Communist Stalinist Anti-Colonialist. Mark Levin told me so.

They should really go ahead and edit that title too, so everyone knows what a great director Chaplin was

There's still plenty that can go wrong on the spine.

As much as I love that still, the Kiss Me Deadly is one terrible cover, and the Ichikawa looks likes a Murikami book. Insignificance, though, I like.

Really? I like the cheap paperback feel of Kiss Me Deadly. I love Zazie, and I'm guessing People on Sunday will look great without that goddamn blue dot.

Zazie is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
