David O Russell's Spanking the Monkey?
With I Heart Huckabee's coming to theatres next month, the Flirting w/ Disaster SE that came out in the summer, and the talks and I think scrapping of the Three King's rerelease, DVD, and documentary, where is Spanking the Monkey on DVD? Who owns this film and what's the hold up?

According to Image's website, the dvd will sport a commentary from David O. Russell, a trailer, and still gallery.

Defintiely excited to see this with how much I absolutely love David O Russel's other films. Been waitng to see this on DVD forever. Sounds quite different from his other work, though. What should I expect? Does this really merit a blind buy based on the writer-director alone?

I've seen this movie quite a few times. I think it is worth a blind buy. It's awkwardly funny. If you've read about it, then I think you have a pretty good idea plotwise of what happens. I don't want to say much.
When the Morphine song kicks in at the end, it's one of my favorite film moments.

I'm super glad to see this title being released soon.
