The Weather Man - 01/31/06

According to DVDTimes, The Weather Man is heading to disc on January 31st, 2006:

Paramount Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of The Weather Man for 31st January 2006 priced at $29.99 SRP. Popular Chicago weatherman Dave Spritz (Nicolas Cage) has issues: his ex-wife won’t reconcile, his kids are troubled, and no one – not even his Pulitzer-winning father – seems to take him seriously. When a national morning show calls him for an audition in New York, he sees an opportunity to do the right thing – if he can only figure out what that is. Acclaimed director Gore Verbinski takes us inside the funny, insightful and sometimes bizarre life of David in this modern-day comedy.

Available in separate Widescreen and Full Screen editions features include:
English DD2.0 & DD5.1 Surround
French DD5.1 Surround
English & Spanish subtitles
Relative Humidity: The Characters
Trade Winds: The Collaboration
Atmospheric Pressure: The Style and Palette
Extended Outlook: The Script
Theatrical Trailer
Good that they used the one sheet artwork for the cover.

I went and saw this movie last night actually...I really enjoed it, although I didn't know what to think when I left the theater.

Nice to see an early release date.

Looking forward to this release.

Commentary would be nice though...

I loved this flick and will definitely pick up the disc...Gore Verbinski is too busy doing Pirates 2 & 3 to record a commentary I assume... getting it none-the-less. Can't believe this movie didn't do better at the box office.

Didn't like this at all, not surprised at the quick DVD dump.

I may get this as a blind buy. I think it's worth a shot.

Yet another movie I didn't see in the theatres because I have every intention of blind-buying it.

I, too, loved this movie. Don't understand why it flopped so miserably.

I also loved this movie. A very dark comedy, that should have done much better. I'll be picking this up.

I liked it, but I'm sure it will be a quick candidate for the $5 bin, so I think I'll wait.

As a Nic Cage fan, I'm debating weather go see it this weekend (), or wait a couple of months and get the disc. I'll probably go since the comments seem to be possitive. I'm definitely picking this up, along with Lord of War, which was another dark comedy - two in a row for Nic and so close together.

I would bet good money that the DVD has been done since March, when the film was originally supposed to come out. I'm surprised Paramount doesn't want this DVD out in time for Christmas/New Years.

It flopped because it was about miserable people being and (most importantly) staying miserable. Most audiences can't handle such a story without the last half hour being "this is what I learned today" crapola.

Well said. I liked the film quite a bit, too. That said, I'll probably wait until it becomes one of the DVDs on the 2 for $20 list somewhere.

I was at my local k-mart today and they had this out already. I have never seen this movie, and I was going to blind buy it until they changed the original artwork. I loved the original artwork used the 1st time, it looked so nice. But the new artwork was a terrible choice, and I am not going to blind buy it now, for that reason alone. Say what you want, but Paramount made a terrible decision using that artwork. I know what the film is about, and that artwork was so perfect for the movie. I still can't believe they chose the arrow artwork instead of the thrown milkshake one. I would have made this a must blind buy if they hadn't done that. So the artwork was crucial for me for a blind buy. Now I passed on it early and plan to Netflix it instead to see if I really will enjoy it, and if I do, I will try to get this used or cheap somehow.

My thoughts exactly. I'm surprised Wes Anderson didn't helm this one.

I'd tell you a proverb about books and their covers, but somehow I doubt you've read a book before.
