Wow, Fox made pretty much everything on BD exclusive. They made most of the special features for (500) Days of Summer exclusive to BD too.
Missed this in theatres, felt really guilty because I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan too. Any idea if Darjeeling might be released soon?
I was really hoping that since this was a Wes Anderson Picture, then Criterion would try and gain the rights to this one seeing as how they've done just about every one of his films.
i think it's the greatest wes anderson movie. there's omn about live action that just steals his neurosis away... but in animation form... there was no limit at all. it was even, emotional =)
I freaking love this movie, saw it twice in the theater. I too was expecting Criterion to jump on this, as they have with all of his other films, although Bottle Rocket is the only one so far to get the Criterion treatment on blu. Hopefully at some point we will get the rest. I wonder how they decide which ones to release. Anybody?
I will definitely rent this and hopefully buy it. I think Wes Anderson os a great director and love 3 of his films. This one looks great and I like all the BD exclusives
I'm going to pass on this film. I really didn't hate it, but I didn't really care that much for it. I mean the storyline was hard to follow though it did held my attention. I don't know. Maybe I was just lazy but there was something thing that I couldn't follow through with this movie.
My dough though is going to Where the Wild Things Are.
I loved this film! In fact, it is my second favorite of Wes Anderson's films right behind "The Darjeeling Limited". I didn't think I would want to own this on BD, but I am sold and looking forward to picking up a copy...hopefully TDL will get releasted on BD soon, too.
