And the merry-go-round with regards to Richard Kelly's next flick The Box keep stuttering forward... this time the flick has moved from November 6th of this year to November 25th. That's right - Thanksgiving weekend. What does this mean for the film? Is that a vote of confidence? Opening it up on a holiday will it get lost amid the shuffle or might it work? I think a smart marketing dept. could play the movie's themes off the holiday, but will they see that? Can I ask any more rhetorical questions before shutting the hell up?

The film has movie stars - Cameron Diaz and James Marsden - and a fine, marketable story and pedigree... unless the thing is a complete disaster (and I could be proven wrong but I don't see how that could be the case), I wish they'd just figure out what they're doing with the film, is what I'm getting at. It's been shuffled around so much already. Get with it, WB!
Also at that link is news that the remake of The Stepfather, starring Nip/Tuck's Dylan Walsh and Penn Badgley has been rated PG-13 for "intense sequences of violence, disturbing images, mature thematic material and brief sensuality." I'm thinking the PG-13 excludes that "brief sensuality" from equaling an x-rated romp between step-dad and step-son, don't it? DAMMIT!

For fuck's sake. Release the film already. You can add about five months to the US release date for the UK release for something like this... so I'm looking at next April... This is not good for my sanity...
If James Marsden were a huge star like he deserves to be... there'd probably be the same problems.
Didn't they release Southland Tales on a really dumb date, too?
