I don't know, Smokey, but All The King's Men {{{remake-remake-remake}}} has been getting gawdawful reviews around here. Maybe you're just smitten with Kate, though. From all the clips I've seen, the blustering Sean red-in-the-face Penn is off putting to me. Whatever it is he's shouting about, it all comes through to me as "This is my Academy Award perf!" Yada. Yawn. I also cannot escape the suspicion that I'm going to be preached at by the content of this film. 

Oh, but not to veer from the topic at hand, how about that INLAND EMPIRE?

And I think all movies should have simultaneous DVD releases to the theatrical release. That's the way it's likely going to end up in the not to distant future anyway which is good by me!

PS  Has it crossed any one else's mind that Jude Law was a Pity Casting masterminded by Sean Penn after Chris Rock dissed (ever so gently) JL at the Oscars thereby ticking off the easily ticked off SP? Nah, I didn't think so either...

Distributing IE digitally would be so cool. I have been hearing for several years that digital distribution is coming but that the impact on media (TV, movies, internet content) isn't known because there is no business plan. And what about safety? You don't want someone "stealing your signal" cuz as SERENITY fans know, you can't stop the signal (shameless plug alert) Then DL set up DL.com as a subscriber service. Duh, makes sense.

 I also know that a local theater "downloads" special event TV programs (VERONICA MARS yet another shameless plug). I guess we need someone to lead the way on digital distribution. I hope it's DL with IE. Good on DL for being an innovator in many other ways.

According to this NYFF preview article, IE has been picked up for distribution by Magnolia Pictures and will be distributed theatircally sometime next year:

According to this article, INLAND EMPIRE will be released in USA next November

http://www.nysun.com/article/40664

The film was announced to be screening in Sitges Film Festival next week (Spain) but now it won't be shown. I don't know the reason but I'm very disappointed.

If someone is interested, "Eraserhead", "Blue Velvet", "TPFWWM" and "Lost highway" are confirmed.

I have bought tickets to "The fountain", "Scoop", "Children of men", "Tideland" and Kim Ki Duk's "Time", but I'm still angry because of Inland Empire :P

Who said next november ? From how they word it, it sounds like this november.

If thats the case, paint me excited !

Strangly enough, last night at around 2:30 3:00am I was able to read that interview without an account or password.

Maybe saturn and jupiter met...

LOL...this is why you should never believe 100% of anything you read in the press.  The trouble is, which % of what you read should you actually believe?

"He was booed at Cannes?'

"That's what the report said."

"Hmmm, then that means he was in France that day. Yep, I knew it was him I saw at that Potato cart. Pay up."

"OK."

A very good review..that person has their head screwed on the right way.... Esp R.E. the credits..which i LOVED.

Erm..about that other article which mentioned it being booed at "Cannes" (which I guess we take to mean Venice..)..who said it was even booed at Venice?? I dont remember that, unless it was at the press showing! It certainly was NOT booed in the premiere where David received his award...not one bit. Infact it was cheered. I dont know where that person is coming from.

Wasn't the all caps edict something David Lynch mandated himself? 

I agree with Annie.  If that's the title, that's the title.  Same as when Prince changed his name to a symbol, his name was the symbol.  Same as the title "Do U Cry 4 Me Argentina" is not "Do You Cry For Me Argentina."

Etc.

By the way, the title of the thread is also wrong though the Gazette is not the Newspaper of Record with All the News That's Fit to Print.  I haven't checked but wouldn't be surprised if the NYT printed an erratum in a follow-up edition.

What do you think, Chris (OneSuaveFolk)?
