Last year, ...It's not just Little Children though. Last year, New Line fucked up the release of The New World. Universal is fucking around with the release of Children of Men and hurt Munich last year as well.<BR/><BR/> Sony Pictures Classics, the studio that's dominated the foreign film category (7 wins since it's inception as SPC in 1992), screwed up Joyeux Noel this year. This is pissing me off because it continues this brutal cycle - if easy to appreciate foreign flicks (and by easy to appreciate, I mean accessible, likeable, unchallenging, etc) don't do very well at the box office, the chances of getting to see the challenging foreign language movies sink quite considerably. And you can drop foreign language from the equation.<BR/><BR/> It's easy to complain when you compare this decade with say the 70's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1167757001999671282007-01-02T11:56:00.000-05:002007-01-02T11:56:00.000-05:00Waiting for Oscars that won't come, I presume.It'l...Waiting for Oscars that won't come, I presume.<BR/><BR/>It'll get a couple of nods, but this sort of roleout only works for movies like <I>Sideways</I> or <I>Chicago</I>.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1167731155147881732007-01-02T04:45:00.000-05:002007-01-02T04:45:00.000-05:00Yeah, why aren't they releasing it wider now?

They're so neck-and-neck for me.
