My understanding is that it was indeed meant for general release but was not out long because it sucked big time. I never had a chance to see it when it was out and was thinking about getting a copy to see how bad it really is, but I didn't see it in the brief time I was out yesterday. Did see lotsa copies of Narnia, but not the extended 2-disc version. (Not that I had time yesterday or in the foreseeable future-the rest of the week or so-to watch any movies.) Will probably have to go out again before the end of the week. >NO SPOILERS PLEASE. You now know as much about it as I do. Hope that isn't too much . . . -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was looking forward to it because I think it is one of the great short stories. The could bode ill for me. I remember really wanting to see Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions" but it slipped under the radar, and for good reason. I took the DVD home and with some eager anticipation put it in the player. GAWD! What a horrible movie. Vonnegut made a cameo in it. I'm surprised he would do so. Here's hoping "Thunder" is a better.
