Thanks got my DVR set!

[Mabuse]

Thanks for the reminder

[thelwig14]

I really wish they would release these under some sort of banner so I could just set up a season pass. That seems too easy.

[Jay G.]

[Larry C.]

Outrage was great! I think everyone got punched or slapped.

Then

That isn't what I watched? No wonder I was so confused... I thought all the slapping and

was just the way gay yakuza showed affection.

Also, probably not technically an Early Premiere, but a fairly newish film that's hard to find:

Sorry to hear you missed it, but thanks for the bump regardless. I didn't even know I got this channel through u-Verse until I just now saw this thread. The channel didn't show up automatically on the guide, so I had to go into my channel options and manually check the box.

Can't wait for Tim and Eric! Are there any other previews that I'm missing or are they usually that few and far between?

Now I'm wondering what other channels I've been missing out on.

The period from end of November through yesterday, there were 4 premieres in about 5 weeks. I think it largely depends on what films Magnolia picks up, and when they decide to release them to theaters. End of the year is a big time to push movies out, January-February not so much.

It's possible they'll add a movie between now and the end of February though. the way they update the Sneak Preview page is kinda odd:

And for everyone who hasn't checked that page recently:

Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie
Rating: R
Year: 2012
Cast: Eric Wareheim, Tim Heidecker
Director: Tim Heidecker
Synopsis: Tim and Eric are given one billion dollars to make a movie but the task proves nearly impossible to complete.
Run Time: 1:34
Air Dates
Wed, Feb 29th - 8:30 PM
Wed, Feb 29th - 10:15 PM
Thu, Mar 1st - 12:00 AM

[Geofferson]

Bummer, I forgot all about Roadie too. D'oh!

[thelwig14]

You guys didn't miss much.

[clckworang]

Another person here who obviously depends on this thread getting bumped to remember to record the early premieres.
