| | Posted: | | | | there's nothing wrong with having a custom cover for your local database, but only genuine covers are allowed in the online database.
Hopefully someone will come along with the proper cover for this film and scan it in, but until then you'll have to keep your custom covers (nice as they are) to yourself. |

| | Posted: | | | | Perhaps i should say you are a bit of an ass, Bodi. But I won't, your comment was unnecessary, insulting and inflammatory. Some people don't have any appreciation for direct, no-nonsense answers.

| | Posted: | | | | There really is no reason this DVD should not be allowed in the database. There are many currently like it in there. "Up From Zero"comes to mind. It has no UPC. It was available just by requesting it. The DVDs received with Papa Johns pizzas used to be in the DB (not sure if they still are...only had one and gave it away). I know there's promo discs from magazines as well
I would suggest submitting again and pointing out it is a legitimate DVD in your notes. Tell where you got it and be sure to use the DVD itself for any other portions you are submitting. | | | | Last edited: by lyonsden5 |

| | Posted: | | | | It's the artwork, Rick, key word Custom Cover. Up from Zero has a cover bad analogy. I agree the data should be there, the Cover is another story altogether. Skip  | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Is there art on the sleeve the disc came in? If so that is what should be contributed. There are several like that. Look up Warner Brothers Commemorative DVD in the database and you can see that the cover art is the scanned sleeve. | | | | Chris |

I cant find any better ones It is unfortunate that you do not have your original sleeve. That would have been acceptable as a cover image. The image you found, because it has a 'watermark', is not. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
