And if this movie makes any money it will help GIALLO find better distribution, so you'd be helping me out by going!;)

I would Rod, but they left Detroit out again...

sorry

these limited releases are pretty painful. Just once I'd like to see a proper release for an Argento flick with a full-bore ad campaign.

We have a couple theaters out here that I think would really sell a lot of tickets for an Argento film. ESPECIALLY the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. It's a shame, but I'll pick up the DVD for sure. You do know when Giallo comes out you'll be inundated with requests for signed copies right?

Kendall Square Theater, Cambridge, MA, Landmark - 6.6.08

thats about the closest to me......still over an hour drive

yeah

as long as you guys BUY the DVD instead of downloading, I'll be more than happy to sign it.:D

Good theater, though.

You won't sign my bit torrent?

Mine will be bought and sent on release day. :)
I've never downloaded a movie... I've had copies from people which I watched and filed away but usually those are movies you can't buy so I don't feel bad for that at all. I'm weird, I need the case, the inserts... everything. Back on topic, I know a few buddies still want to go to Chicago so maybe I will be able to catch it after all.

Damn! It's playing in Philly tonight, but I'm going away for the weekend!

Mother Of Tears is a brilliant film although it ends a bit too quickly/simply.
His best since Sleepless (my favorite of his Giallo films). Good to see him on the right track again after a bunch of his modern flicks were total shit (The Card Player, Phantom Of The Opera... and the complete mess that was Trauma).
This will be awesome on the big screen... pretty jealous of you guys cuz there's no theatrical release planned over here.

Seattle's too far away. Especially the week of Portland's Blues Fest.

cambridge?
im so there.

well if the bury st edmunds cineworld multiplex in england is showing it and they'll
let in a 14 year old, I'm there!

You know people are allready downloading the DVDRIP from bittorrent? And the shit just came out in theaters.... how the hell do they do that?

because it came out on dvd in italy and the uk last month............

Ahhh... that would explain it. Oh and by the way, I wasn't saying I was downloading it, I was just curious if anybody else had stolen it and put it on the internet yet.

it came out in one theatre in toronto several months ago.

and to be honest - Elvis's review is the 1st positive one i've heard so far..

June 20. Minneapolis. I can do that. Thanks for the info Rod.

it's a mixed bag, but some find it wonderfully over-the-top

It's playing in my home town (Saint Louis) but I'm only going to be there from the 20th to the 25th if this month, and I'm not moving back until February:(
But I will be sure to tell my friends to check it out. I have one friend who practically see's everything at the Tivoli no matter what anyway.

yeah.....this kind of sold me on it


It’s true that “The Mother of Tears,” strictly as visual storytelling, suffers by comparison with the first and second Mother movies, or one of Mr. Argento’s better baroque thrillers, like “The Bird With the Crystal Plumage.” But it does something as well as, if not better than, anything in his oeuvre: it goes all the way. Giddy with gonzo, headlong abandon, the movie pushes further and further into unhinged camp dementia until it climaxes with an apocalyptic tableau that perfectly summarizes its visionary kitsch and delirious kick.

There’s a defiant late-period wooziness here, an infectious aura of play and pleasure and unembarrassed showmanship from an artist quite happy to amuse himself with scenes of nubile archaeologists being strangled by their own large intestines.

...and you know I'm always right :D

I had read a bunch of reviews panning it and wasn't expecting much but it's top notch stuff apart from the weak ending I mentioned in my earlier post (but Suspiria suffered from the same problem IMO). I'd recommend Sleepless over it if you haven't seen it already.

Saw it in the theater last night.

WOW!

Fucking CRAZY film that had a few really annoying elements, but still has me in it's thrall the next morning. And I keep laughing when I think about the film.

My review is in the "Last Seen Movie" thread in the Modern Horror forum

I've been looking forward to seeing this concluding chapter to Dario Argento's Three Mothers trilogy ever since I first heard about it awhile ago and it didn't disappoint.Its a lot different then his previous movies,Suspiria and Inferno so some people may not like it.There are some nice kills in it and some pretty nice gore.There was even a scene with a mother and her baby that actually surprised me.It was entertaining and I'm glad I have it as part of my collection.

Damn it! It was playing in Seattle and I didn't even know:mad:

I'll buy the DVD when it comes out, though.

You'd best pay more attention, my friend:

:p

So I read Rod's first post without paying attention to the thread date, which of COURSE lead me to start looking at Kendall Square Cinema's movie list and movie times to start planning my trip out to support it.

Then I got all irritated because it wasn't there and I was about to rant and rave about how either theaters don't support the little guy or Rod was retarded...

...

And then I realized this was originally posted in June and it was I who was the retarded one...

...

I blame you, Blackheart. :p

Ditto! Great film. Its good to see his work not being to Americanized like Trauma and the other dull piece of shit I forget the name of.

I Can't Sleep is still probably my favorite.

Sleepless = awesome. Death by flute :D
