hi, first time poster here.
This may sound weird, but I'm a little disappointed. I live in Canada, and am able to order the Blu-ray of Zero Theorem from amazon.ca for release on July 22. I DID order it, of course. But the disappointment comes in that I am now going to see, and in fact own, this movie on a home video format before I've ever even had a chance to see it in a theatre! What the hell? It really kind of bugs me. I've been waiting for this movie to appear in theatres for what seems to be forever now, and on an off chance searched for it on amazon today to discover its release here in 2 days!
It was scheduled to be screened at a little art-house theatre here back on July 11th, and I was waiting for that in great anticipation only to have it cancelled. I emailed the theatre manager immediately and he said he was forced to cancel because the distributor said he could not show it before some film festival in Canada in the future that demanded an exclusive release. Now it's coming out on video two weeks later??? I guess that's why it disappoints me.
I will watch it, and I'm quite sure enjoy it, on July 22nd (or whenever my copy gets to me) but it will be disappointing to once again see a Gilliam move at home before on the big screen. Why does this continually happen to Gilliam movies? He is the hardest director to be a fan of.
