I know rights are a huge issue but stuff like that would make awesome supplements. When Apocalypse Now hit BD I would have loved for them to include the Martin Sheen 'Coppola's gone mad' SNL skit and there are tons of things like that out there.

I'm not a big 'stuff on my walls' person but I would absolutely buy a print of that art. The only other time I've felt a strong, visceral 'wow, I want that art' was the Sweet Smell of Success piece in my avatar.

Very nice job.

Well, I spent almost a year semi-seriously lobbying for them to release The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (which just got a very nice release from the studio - attaboy, Universal) so I'm not going to cast any stones here
