You would think Paramount would release Sharon Stone's other film, "Sliver" on dvd this date to cash in. Damn.
Only way I buy this dvd, is if there is rumored to be an easter egg that leads me to video footage of Stone's actual beaver.

Well, I dig the new cover art. But they have cut the commentary by Camille Paglia, and added the bits with Sharon Stone. Not a movie I particularly care for, so believe I will be passing.

A completely pointless release. So they've apparently dropped Paglia's commentary and adding some tedious promotional fluff regarding the sequel? Thanks, but I'll stick with the icepick release.
