Dammit! It's all the Oscar stuff. If Cronenberg and Bello get in, you just KNOW they'll be blazing it all over the place.

Maybe they need the extra time to change that cover art.

^^Pick this one up, for sure. Domino was definitely one of Tony Scott's lesser films, IMO.

No question, History of Violence is a much better film. It´s also more in substance.

You're comparing a child's fingerpainting picture he made in kindergarten to Michelangelo's painting in the Sistine Chapel.

Looking forward to the dvd awful cover regardless. Especially looking forward to the Cronenberg commentary. Those are always pretty great.

Looks like everyone's whining paid off. The new one ain't great but at least it doesn't look like a straight-to-video release anymore.
