It's just another consumer product, but this time it's new and improved, with Dolby Surround-Sound and high-definition pictures that allow you to feel like you're there! According to the Times, they have even promised that "the invasion scenes would not resemble the opening moments of the American landing in Somalia...

Most of the major stylistic events in art since 1900, starting with late Cezanne and going on through Cubism to abstraction in its various forms, have had no apparent impact on Freud's painting.
