Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hah. And depressing (that he got away with it FOR REAL.)

I wonder if a bit of anticipation time wouldn't help sales more than having the DVDs ready at the door.
If DVDs of Mirrormask had been for sale at the concession stand when I walked out of the movie, I would have bought it then and there.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I would have bought Batman Begins on my way out of the theater. I probably would have gotten panicky that they'd run out of DVDs.
Ooh! Also The Incredibles!

There are movies where you want to turn around and go right back in...LotR, Batman Begins, Serenity...those I'd buy the DVDs of right away, but it wouldn't stop me from seeing it again in the theatre anyway.

Isn't it Soderbergh who's going to release his next film in theaters and on DVD the same day?
I've been talking about this a lot with people lately. I think it's just another step in Soderburgh's admirable quest to prove that filmmaking is now cheap and accessable to anyone who wants to be a filmmaker.
His first big step in this quest was shooting Full Frontal entirely on a Canon XL1, and editing it entirely on a Mac with Final Cut Pro. I think this next step, releasing in theaters and on DVD the same day is partly a way of saying "and if you add DVD authoring software to that Mac, you're your own distributor now as well!"
Both of those are fine and well and good, and I applaud him for them.
The point that I think Soderburgh misses is that he can get Julia Roberts and George Clooney to be in his movies. I cannot.
Not yet, anyway.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I had an awful day at work. The kind that made me start hitting the job ads and getting depressed about my prospects for getting anything better. I headed home depressed and angry, but with a copy of The Blues Brothers movie from Amazon. I put that puppy in and within about 10 min. I had a very broad smile pasted to my face. Fantastic music and lots of silliness. Praise Jebux.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Well, then you just aren't trying hard enough.

But the real question is can you get Nameless Numberhead Man in your movies?
