rofl thats horrible. So much for proving hollywood and the big time directors that he could do it independently
I think the distributor knew they wouldn't make any money, so they chose not to advertise it heavily. At that point they're just cutting their losses, I guess effective ad campaigns are more expensive than we imagine. What I find genuinely irritating is that a "good" movie with Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep is only showing in 15 screens, but I guess that's an economic decision too, so I can't complain.
This is called "platforming", to start in selected cities to build word-of-mouth and critical buzz, and gradually release it wider and wider. This is standard practice for smaller independent features to build up an audience. "Doubt" will go wide in a couple weeks if it can build up any steam with the indie crowd.
LOL! What?!? I know this guy. He was buddies with my little brother at Episcopal. Class of 91. The dude was tiny and bald. He even drew hair on his head for his senior picture. He was actually a nice little guy, but quite shy. Bully is a laughable way to describe him. I actually feel bad for him. My folks were just saying last week they saw him on the Today show.
I did. Considering that the Facebook page doesn't have a picture, and Juan hasn't confirmed one way or the other, it didn't seem like he knew whether or not. The Marc Adler in question was an Episcopal grad of '91. That will let Juan know whether he knew the guy or not.
yeah, I went to the Episcpal website the other day and they had a picture of the movie on the front ehshouston.org just click whatever the phot of the day is and the Delgo one is like the 3rd most recent
episcopal high: "The highly acclaimed film was produced, written, and directed by EHS alum Marc Adler ’91." versus http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/delgo/ "Consensus: Delgo features a blend of plot elements from earlier (and superior) fantasy films, with weaker animation and dull characters." lol
