Boy, I don't know. I've never seen it even on VHS, but it has a 3/4 street
date so I thought it was a first time release. I just checked Amazon.com
and it also has a 3/4 release date for it. No real details other than 92 -
93 minutes. I saw one on auction that's 88 minutes, so either one of them
is wrong, or they've added a bit to this new one.

See a recent picture (just prior to the ones with the "showgirl"),
in which he manages to top the worst he's *ever* been caught wearing!
He's eating paella -- in Budapest, no less (!?!?) -- and has a blue, white,
and maroon patterned sleeveless shirt that any male from 10 on up
wouldn't be caught dead in! Click link, left column, 3rd picture down.

Do you suppose the Italian Aunties made this one for our sartorially-
challenged Aaaaaadddddriannnnnn? Or did he *really* pick this out
and buy it for himself? <shuddderrrrrss>

>It's entirely possible that he just has crappy taste in clothes. Or that he wears crappy clothes so that people will notice him. In a town filled with gorgeous people, one has to do something to stand out - especially when one is not going to be recognized for one's work. He isn't a star..he doesn't have any decent recent work or anything big on the horizon- crappy clothes at least get you photographed.

Holy Mother of Bad Taste!
First off...what's up with the sleeveless look?
Second..is he color blind?
Third..is there no one in his life who can pull him aside and say "Are you on drugs?"
I stick with my original assessment- he has no taste <eg> and he is dying to get noticed by someone....anyone...anywhere.
Egads...I may have suffered brain damage from exposure to that shirt.

You want to see ugly shirts? How's this - and remember
that Orlando Bloom is also a South London boy! (methinks
it might be something in the water down there when they're
growing up <g>)
