[edit] Criterion release

The current version indicates that a Criterion version of the film will be released in the fall. No citation is given. This claim is completely unsubstantiated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.39.118 (talk) 21:25, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DVD Release

any word on when we can expect this yet? 24.60.255.119 (talk) 00:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Poster

The previous poster image had the IGN watermark. I've uploaded the same poster image without the watermark and also strengthened the fair use rationale for the image. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 13:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

• found a much better quality poster from worstpreviews.com and posted it. Squadoosh 00:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Release Date

September 29th seems to be the release date only for NY(maybe just Broadway). But I can't find any good information about it. Anyone else have any luck? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.85.107.73 (talk) 03:23, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

IMDB lists a set of release dates here. They list a limited release in the US on Sept. 29 (probably just NY and LA) but no US wide release. The first wide release is listed as Nov. 23 in the UK. The film's official website has no wide release date posted, but does list a series of advance screenings Oct. 1 through Oct. 23. So we can assume it opens after Oct. 23, and probably on or before Nov. 23, but not much more. No idea why they're leaving it such a mystery. 70.160.240.45 00:54, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reviews

There is way too many quotes from reviews on this page. Someone please summarize them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.113.191.69 (talk) 18:50, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I vote for keeping all the review quotes. I came to this page expressly to see what the critics thought, and was satisfied to see a range of options. Mrwriter 21:14, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Why you "expressly" came to this page is immaterial. Wikipedia was not set up for personal enjoyment of "Mrwriter". The criticism section needs to be cleaned up. One praising review, one moderate review, and one scathing review (perhaps Rex Reed's diatribe) is sufficient and fair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.167.113.17 (talk) 00:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

The website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 66% of critics gave the film positive reviews based on 146 reviews. I think citations from 12 critics is fine, considering there are 146 reviews that could be cited. I added 8 positive reviews and 4 negative reviews (66%) to match the ratio on Rotten Tomatoes. I think 3 reviews is too little. --Pixelface (talk) 16:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
