Are you kidding me? It just came out in theaters January 4th!!

That's what I thought!

I also thought that maybe Blockbuster had a sneak copy. It's crazy. I refuse to rent it if it's bad enough to be in Blockbuster already.

ETA: Okay, I'm not going crazy. http://www.amazon.com/review/R13I6EJGX3ABR0 I guess the Blockbuster 2006 one is the Japanese original and they also have the sequel. The 2008 is supposedly a horrible remake.

it's a remake of a Japanese horror film ...just like The Eye will be a dud....we steal ideas from the Japanese and then we make them even worse.

Minimum time it takes for a film from theater to DVD release is 4 months.

matter of fact...you want something creepy on DVD....try the Devil's Backbone by Guillermo Del Toro

Yeah, I stood in Blockbuster with a confused look on my face for a few minutes.

All I knew about the new movie was its release date.

Maybe I'll rent the original and its sequel this week.

The acting ability she thinks she has are not the reason why people (mainly guys) want to see her movies.

and that is probably why she wants a nude scene so she can "be taken seriously as an actress"

Seriously though... it turns out this movie was released in 8 Texas theatres for awhile, and it grossed about $1200. Which a few websites said it was about $50 per theatre per day, which comes out to about 6 people watching it in each location each day.

and ditto to what SATX said about country music....

OMG! Some of the local morning DJ's made fun of this for like all of last week. It was something like, and I'm paraphrasing, "The movie was only shown in 8 theaters, only 6 people saw the movie per theater, which means each theaters only made $48 off the movie." I didn't know what movie they were talking about but now I know. Hilarious! She and her father (now he's a DIFFERENT story!) need to just hang it up.
