Found it up for pre-order on DDD. No specs for the dvd were up yet.

damn. almost a year after release.

Loved the movie but since it didn't do so well in theatres it should have been released much earlier.

I think this DVD was delayed because they are going to rerelease the movie back into theaters sometime this summer.

I thought "Confessions" was one of the worst movies I've seen in years. A real mess. Do not, I repeat DO NOT do a blind buy on this flick.

Do, I repeat, do buy this flick if you're a fan of Charlie Kaufman films. I thought this was perhaps his most accessable film, but it's still very similar to his other work. The other films made from Charlie Kaufman scripts so far are:

Being John Malkovich
Human Nature
Adaptation

Charlie Kaufman's "Being John Malkovich" and "Adaptation" scripts were stunningly original and downright brilliant. And the movies themselves were nothing short of dazzling. HOWEVER, "Confessions," in my humble opinion, was something those two films were not, BORING!!! For those who have not seen it in theatres, do yourself a favor and rent this before you buy. I'm not trying to contradict anyone, but I found "Confessions" a major bomb. There's a reason why it flopped in theatres.

I'm really looking forward to this. Hopefully it will make another theatrical run since I missed it the first time around. Only clooney movie I didn't like that I've seen was Batman and Robin, but that movie was beyond salvation anyway.

Thanks for the info...hopefully there are some good specs for this.

I thought it flopped in theaters because, just like Hollywood Homicide, they marketed it as about six different genres. Now it's a romantic movie with Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore, now it's a comedy, now it's a spy movie, now it has dinosaurs.

...but it was about all of those things SANS the dinosaur thing.

It was a "flop", mainly because people don't care about seeing a movie about Chuck Barris, but instead want blow-'em action. Simply because this movie, or Frida, or the Hours, or to an extent Adaptation didn't earn big money, it's hard to call them flops or make judgments about their quality.

Actually, it's easy to call them flops, since a flop is simply a movie that didn't recoup it's cost. However, most films nowadays can only be called theatrical flops, because they tend to recoup their cost in overseas and video revenue.

Of course, whether or not a film was a flop has no relation to the actual quality of the film itself. Brazil was a flop. Blade Runner was a flop. Office Space was a flop. Great films can be financial disasters, and awful films can become blockbusters.

So Confessions of a Dangerous Mind cannot be called a bad film simply because it didn't do well in theatres.

Well, I'm interested in seeing it. Missed it in the theater but not because of bad word of mouth or anything. I just never got around to going to it when it was in its first run.

Behold the positively atrocious new cover that Miramax has decided to bestow on this gem:



I haven't been bothering to print up new covers lately, but this one will be an exception.

Agreed. Especially since it had such exceptional art for the one sheet. I'm surprised they didn't try to fit more big heads on there. Like Julia's, for instance.

Dear lord! I have never been in the habit of printing up new covers, but there's a first time for everything.

This was easily one of the most entertaining films I saw last year.

Drew Barrymore has a mustache! Also, Sam Rockwell looks a lot like that girl with the moon-shaped head from E.T. all grown up.

I thought it was an excellent movie, despite the fact that I don't particularly like any of the leads in this movie, I thought the characters were really interesting, and I really like the fact that it doesn't fit the mold of your average Hollywood film

with that said I am definitely getting it in September, to hell with all you haters, jk

One of my favorite movies last year, a must-buy.

I betcha that it won't have an insert...

I betcha someone will start a thread about it not having an insert.

Specs finally announced! Looks pretty nice (as opposed to that cover art )

Nice one!

Hey, has anyone else read the book? I thought it was fantastic, but I missed the movie. Sam Rockwell, from what I've seen of him, is a phenomenal actor, so I'm sure I'll pick this up.

the extras sound very good, but was i the only one praying for a chuck barris commentary? i know it was a long-shot, but still, it would've been awesome

Directors shouldn't star in their own movies. Small parts- yes. Lead roles- no. My 2 cents.

Lucky for you Lester, George Clooney has a fairly small role in this film.
