Quick updates

Some small updates:

• It looks like Amazon now has a pre-order page for the DVD.  The release date is September 18th.  We will have much more to say about it as we get further along.  (Short answer, if you’re a big enough fan to be reading this, then do us a favor and don’t buy from Amazon since we hope to be selling it from this very site.)

• Developer Robert Barnstone died this weekend.  He has a small part in the film as one of the City Council members who ultimately denied the PUD for the Barton Creek development.  (“We would go fight the devil himself to protect Barton Springs…”)

• Dallas’ Angelika run surprised us all with an over $3000 weekend, so it’s being held over for another week. Dallasites represent.

• We got some good press in the Metroplex which doubtlessly helped, including The Dallas Morning News, Ft Worth Star Telegram,  and this Dallas Observer bit, a syndicated version of Jim Ridley’s Village Voice piece.

• There are some other really exciting developments happening right now that we can’t share yet.  But we hope to soon.  Watch this space.

• Also, if you haven’t picked it up, buy a copy of the Criterion Collection release of Days of Heaven.  We’ve been watching it. They’ve done a truly incredible job with the transfer.
