I did one week ago.
 
(OT : Just checked the Candy Audio section. I'm absolutely in love with the "Song to the siren" cover version in Candy.)


Is this the same song from Moonlight Mile?

Froggy, you read my mind! I was going to say that, but thought it was  *o)  !!!!

Yes, it is the same song, but sung by someone else.  I only watched Moonlight Mile last week, and couldnt believe that the same song is in a Heath and Jake film!

THINKfilm has just given us a definite release date of November 17, 2006.  This frightens me as it is smack at the beginning of the holiday film season.  I will not lie to you, my insider, who actually buys the films for for showing for one of the biggest film exhibitors in North America (the people we have to impress with our campaign) tells me in all honesty that they wish anyone but THINKfilm was distributing this film.  THINK is very small and timid and they don't have a reputation in the exhibitors for properly presenting their films for distribution.  This is such a shame and makes our job all the more important.

We have had a very difficult time understanding THINK's logic in this matter, however, when you can't get sensible answers, then you circumvent the problem and take the campaign in the appropriate direction on your own.  This is by NO means a lost cause, that's not what I'm saying, but what I am saying is that it makes our work more vital for the survival of this very pertinent film.

We need numbers.  Please go to everyone you know who will join that forum for you.  Please.  I so believe in this project that believe me I have no problem begging for your help.

You guys have been amazing, absolutely amazing.

We are starting our contact in the United Kingdom today with their distributor of the film and are moving forward in the fight to have the film distributed there as we have been made.  It will open there on November 3, 2006.

If there is anyone here that is bi-lingual who would be willing to spend just a few minutes a day answering posts from international members, please pm me at ATTMC.  Frog123 is taking care of the French speaking folks for me and Ingrid is taking care of the German speaking folks, but I am in need of Portuguese and Spanish and Italian at this point. 

Any language skills in any language would be a blessing.  This is a world wide campaign and though they can read the forum through our Babblefish package, some people have trouble writing English and are unable to ask their questions or post and participate.  There's very little work to it really.  Just a few minutes a day.  Please let me know if you or someone you know might be willing to help us there.

Thankyou guys you are such a blessing to this campaign and to my life. 

Hugs
Theresa

I have to confess that I dont understand the gravity of the situation in terms of the date the film will be released in the US, but I understand from your post Theresa that all is not lost, and we just need to keep at it.  I wish I could speak a different language to help, but sadly I dont.  I am sure you will get the support you need regarding this from people on this great forum.

Thank you so much Christie, and you made a great point that is one of the wonderful things about ATTMC.  We are international and it's not all about the USA.  Boy am I glad too.  LOL.  Don't get me wrong but the industry here is a very cutthroat one.  In the USA there are 2 huge movie seasons.  The summer and Holiday/Christmas films.  When a small film is released during these time periods it often gets crushed or pushed aside.  Especially at the holiday season.  This is when they will release all the big Harry Potter type things and things that they are putting up for Oscar contention.  The powers that be will publicize ruthlessly and the exhibitors will go for the films with the big money because of the $$$$ factor.  BBM showed this can be done, but it is an uphill battle.  This is the biggest season of the year for films in the USA.  So it makes our battle much harder.

But are we giving in?  Heck no!  We'll just get us one of those oscars instead.  We'll let Heath get the one he should have gotten last year.  That's how we'll approach it and we'll double our efforts.  As a matter of fact I've already put the wheels in motion.  And you guys can help.  Speaking another language isn't the key.  It is helpful but only on one front.  We have many other vitally important fronts that need to be covered.

First I'm really proud to say we now have an interpreter for Dutch and Spanish though I could still use a spanish helper if anyone wants to help.

But we are now going to start blogs in other languages as well to get the word out.  Also, I am adding contests.  As I told you guys earlier, the powers that be have been very generous in their support and they have given me other prizes to offer.  We will start a contest today where I will give an original, displayed in the theater for the entire run, full theater size Johnny Depp Libertine poster.  This poster is very valuable as this was a very controversial film that was brilliant and in limited release.  Official actual posters are incredibly rare.  To win the poster the contestant needs to write an essay which can be a paragraph to a page, telling what movie has meant the most to them and why.  We are not looking for something that is written like it was written by Shakespear, we want something heartfelt and honest.  Don't worry about punctuation and spelling and big words unless you are comfortable with them as that is not what we care about.  All contestants must be registered members of the ATTMC forum.  If you have friends who are Johnny Depp fans, I would strongly suggest you let them know because as his fans they will tell you this is a very very valuable piece of memoriabilia to them.  Again this is an original not a copy and not something you can just buy on ebay.

The entries will be read by an independent panel and the winner chosen from them. 

We have many more things going on and we are going to be contacting many more industry people in the next week to two weeks as well.

We are also going to be getting headlong into our UK campaign.

The Two Brokeback Full Size Original Theater Posters

These posters have just arrived and they are breathtaking. Being theater posters they are huge, the print quality is unbelievable and they are printed on both sides. There is a different Brokeback poster on each side. The paper is very heavy and thick.

They are simply gorgeous.

I would scan them if I could but I can't, they are as big as a theater shadow box.  We're talking huge!  Enormous.

I received 9 different posters only two are BBM and you should have seen the box.  It was one of those triangular cardboard boxes that is about 3 1/2 feet or taller.  Just huge.  It was kind of funny because my daughter carried it in and she's only 5 feet tall.

LOL

A standard  double-sided format of the BBM poster was selling for 150.00 - 200.00 USD in January.  These offered were actually used for the LA Premiere, correct?  They should be incentive enough!

Correct tpe.  They were right here in LA.

I was at that opening.  And let me tell you it was an event I will remember the rest of my life for many many reasons, not just the movie but the love and the atmosphere and the things that I witnessed as a straight woman of 51 there with my best friend in life a 52 year old gay man.  I witnessed such love, such pain, such relating, tears of release of burden from people left totally bereft from the experiences of their lives that they were now able to start to let go of and give some closure to, who had experienced this in their lives that they were totally bereft and sobbing.  I was totally and completely changed that night.  It was one of the great privileges of my life to be there.

I'm sorry for the double post.  I got so involved in sharing my experience of seeing BBM the first time that I didn't finish my thought in my post.

I have been advised by a movie memoriabilia expert here in Hollywood that due to the incredible condition of this poster that its value at the moment is between $275 and $300.

Just another friendly reminder to all our friends here at ennisjack.com to make an effort in getting CANDY more widely distributed.

Do you mean from the Addicted To The Movie Candy Forum?  Hmmm.  It shouldn't require a validation email be sent to you.  I'll go double check it.  Could you please try again. 

Thanks for letting me know.  Please let me know if this doesn't fix it.

Thanks so much, Theresa
