The auditorium was nearly empty. Jack, the theater's manager and I often joked how we were practically the only ones who saw it when it played at his theater. The show stayed for only one week. Nearly everyone else I know locally "discovered" the movie on home video. And them some would have the gall to say, "it's a shame Lawton never gets movies like this!" Ugh. Face-palm. Bryan Singer, the film's director studied at School of Visual Arts for a couple years. Had to throw in a SVA mention.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 08-16-2011 05:51 PM                     A movie that is no fun when someone has ruined the ending of it prior to your screening.

Anyone who would spoil this movie needs to at least think they're gonna get executed and buried in a hole a few dozen miles outside of 'Vegas.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
