I've got my order in with amazon.com for this with the pendragon one as well at the same time ... looking forward to seeing them both, for better or worse

I love the line "backed by a masive media campaign!" as if that says anything about the quality of the movie. Can't we get rid of all those pesky advertisment people?

Cheap and nasty just like the actual film.

Well, to be fair, the flyer shown above is not for the general public.

That sales sheet goes directly to the buyers. It proclaims, "BACKED BY A MASSIVE MEDIA CAMPAIGN!" because it is giving out sales points to potential buyers -- in this case, small retail stores.

Basically, it's telling the buyer that they should buy our film over the dozens of others they are presented because of ________ reason. In this case, a massive media campaign (which is rare with small indie films).

Advertising is very important and if you are a 'Mom & Pop' video store you want to know that your purchase will result in people buying the product. Otherwise, this small store will end up buying more TROY DVDs for their shelves -- and bypass all independent titles.

All studios do this. Even the biggies. Even films that made over $100 million.

...except theirs would probably list more publications.


Call it 'craptastic' if you'd like, but I thought you'd like to know the full story...

www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0009IWG4G/
and
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000A0GXLU/

Can we not order it from somwhere else? Asylum directly perhaps? Amazon looks to be having problems distinguishing ar*e from elbow.

I have the 2nd one on order, i'm wondering if its even the right one.
