'Fay Grim' in theatres and on DVD on the same day?
Well, I'm more than willing to spend the $10 to sit in the front row and drool over Parker Posey on a giant screen, but it still seems an odd marketing decision to me.

actually, IIRC, the dvd comes out on tuesday (5/22). IIRC, this is the second "major" release to do this - bubble being the first. the wind that shakes the barley was available in the US on R2 dvd when it had its theatrical release (over st. patrick's day weekend, i think).
anyway, i am looking forward to seeing what hal hartley has in mind for continuing the story of one of my favorite movies, henry fool.

the DVD does have features. they seem to be easy to find now but before when I was looking I couldn't find anything. there's a featurette, deleted scenes and an episode of a movie-doc TV show about the film.

I often see musicals and purchase the CD either at the show or at the store immediately afterwards. I'd gladly walk out of a movie I loved in the theater and pay $15-20 bucks to take the DVD home with me.
I think this is a great thing.

Really enjoyed this and loving this distribution since I get HDNet.
First hour was great, just hilarious for me. It takes a more serious turn but the espionage stuff was fun too.

Now had I saw FAY GRIM before HENRY FOOL, I might not feel the same way...but there is a real disconnect between what we know from the first movie and what happens in FAY GRIM.

Maybe Hal Hartley was given the option of making a film for quick and cheap, and figured "well, not enough people saw Henry Fool, so I'll make something that'll make people want to see that".
Make one half-baked sequel and voila! EVERY critic says "this doesn't match up to the excellent Henry Fool"... and the reader of that review seeks the little 1998 movie out.
It's FOOLPROOF, I tell you, FOOLPROOF! And not ridiculous in the least.
