There are probably thousands who aren't getting what that 8.4.06 EW cover with Samuel L. Jackson [three or four items below] is about. It's a little obscure if you're not a Frank Sinatra fan as well as a bit of a vinyl freak, but it's a riff on the cover art for Sinatra's 1957 Capitol album "Come Fly With Me."

I missed it and that's one of my favorite Sinatra LPs. Billy May, great stuff.

The cover photo is no doubt more creative than the film... par for the course with this whole tiresome SOAP "phenomenon."

Mr. Jackson, I know Frank Sinatra, and you my friend are no Mr. Sinatra.

I like the cover. I'm gonna have to pick it up. The whole spread looks good too.

Everyone at Comic-Con was raving about Sinatra. That's all those geeks think about: lounge music.

Great catch, Jeff. Maybe not a great album, but admittedly a lot of fun (hopefully, we can say the same thing about "Snakes", though the EW article doesn't really clarify anything, unsurprisingly)
