it screams for a good dvd package because of all the potential behind the scenes stuff
but the quality isnt there for criterion
Well, for me, I didn’t even know about the rewrites when I first saw it and, let me tell ya, it really felt like it went through a lot of rewrites so that was pretty obvious IMO. I really wanted to like the film, and I did to a certain extent, but it didn’t flow very well at all. Plus the opening was rather weak I thought.
As for whether it should be released on Critierion … I’m sure it will be. I’m not convinced that it should be, but that’s not knocking Gilliam’s obvious talent, he’s just so god damned inconsistent, it frustrates me to no end.
I’d buy it.
I would to Joe. I actually saw it twice in the theater. I might just be a Gilliam mark, but I think the film was amazing. Tom Waits as the devil. I can’t wait to find out everything that went into making it. Just one mans opinion. I hope they release it.
Yeah, seems like criterion could get real creative like with this one.
I aswell would buy it Banks. Oh how I would.
I would definitely buy it. It was in my top 3 of 2009 and I saw quite a few movies last year. It’s my second favorite Gilliam behind Brazil and I’m a big fan of Gilliam.
I’d buy it for sure.
Terry’s movies are mostly already on criterion. I wouldn’t be surprised if they released this movie for a criterion special edtion & blu-ray version along with the standard version like they did with Benjamin Button, ect…

How many people think that this would be a good candidate for a Criterion release? I do and I will tell you why. I would like to know if there was a crazy rewrite that went on in what seems to be a seamless movie despite the passing of Heath Ledger. I also would like to see any behind the scenes stuff that went on in making this film. I have noticed that Criterion is releasing a lot more new films. I was impressed with Gomorrah and Che. I would like to hear what everyone else thinks.
