No, it's playing here. One of the few cities playing it.
Check out Canada Square (Famous Players) on Yonge
PS - I brought this kinda up in another thread a bit back.
Mike Judge gets no luv!
this dude is great. he's awesome in "everybody hates chris". that's a show that doesn't get the shine it should, speaking of that.
so have you seen the movie? If so please to give a review. I'm just kinda surprised that this film got absolutely no buzz. I mean I work in the entertainment industry and am surrounded by people talking about new music, tv shows, and movies and not once have I heard anyone mention this.
No, I haven't seen it yet. Was going to try this weekend.
about Judge and the movie.
it definitely seemed the studio was less than stoked.
I don't remember exactly what he said, but basically the film co. intentionally tried to dead it.
From Wikipedia:
The film was originally titled "Uh-Merica" and later referred to as "3001" (this title was always known to be a place holder title), and was shown to test audiences around March 2005. There were unofficial reports of very poor ratings from that viewing. Some re-filming purportedly took place in the summer of 2005. Release was even further stalled, possibly relating to a civil suit in which several companies (Costco, Starbucks and Fuddruckers) were unhappy with the way they were satirized in the film.
In April 2006, a release date was finally set for September 1, 2006. But less than a month before it was set for release, numerous articles [1] revealed that the film's release was to be put on hold indefinitely. Although the release went ahead as planned, it was only a limited release (125 theaters), as opposed to a wide one (2,500-3,000). Initially, the film has been released only in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Toronto, Chicago and three cities in Mike Judge's home state of Texas--Dallas, Houston, and his hometown Austin.
According to Austin360.com, 20th Century fox, the film's distributor, has done nothing to promote the movie -- no trailers, posters, television spots or even press kits for media outlets are being provided.[/b]
Strange.
That's weird. There has been a poster at the AMC in Tucson for a few months, and yet it's not playing in this city. Guess I'll have to wait for the DVD.
No, it's playing it some cities now.
