<strong>Body:</strong> Consider this WIRED story more than loosely related to yesterday’s back-and-forth on theatrical distribution, and maybe sort of possibly related to today’s rampant speculation on Che. At the Television Critics Association conference yesterday, vertically integrated movie mogul Mark Cuban announced that he’s going to start selling Magnolia’s theatrical releases on HDNET’s On Demand cable service––BEFORE they debut in theaters.
I *think* the news nugget here is that this reverse day-and-date roll out wil now apply to ALL Magnolia releases, because otherwise, it’s not really news at all––Cuban’s companies have experimented with this tactic before, and box office grosses would suggest that it didn’t work so well for Redacted. Unless it’s the Cuban-as-cowboy quotes––such as “Landmark is the only national theater chain that will support HDNet’s Ultra Sneak Previews” and “I don’t care what the MPAA does.” But then, that’s not really news, either.

      <title>Spout Post: Iraq Doc DVD Targets Redacted For Sales Goal</title>

<strong>Body:</strong> 
Filmmaker and former Marine JD Johannes is selling a compilation DVD called Outside the Wire on his website. The DVD contains three short documentaries that Johannes shot himself whilst embedded with troops in Iraq (a trailer is embedded above). On a blog on the site, Johannes positions his “pro-victory, pro-troop” films in opposition to docs like Body of War and The Ground Truth. “Actually going to Iraq, living down in the dirt with the grunts and making documentaries about what is happening on the ground appears to be a rather novel concept, but I think the best way to understand Iraq is to see it from 5′10″ off the ground,” he writes.
Fair enough. But wait––there’s a gimmick! Johannes is trying to sell 2,900 copies of his DVD in six weeks, in order to match the domestic box office gross of Brian DePalma’s fall flop Redacted.
I haven’t seen Johannes’ movies, and I’m certainly not opposed to as many views of the war as possible getting out into the market place. In fact, I’ve argued previously that the reason why films like Lions For Lambs and Stop-Loss are so disappointing creatively and commercially is due to a homogeneity of perspective––the anti-war choir really doesn’t need to be pandered to anymore.
But what is a little illogical to me is that Johannes has chosen Redacted as the target to beat. Redacted, a film widely panned by critics and pundits from all points on the political spectrum. Redacted, whose box office gross was potentially diluted by its day-and-date release on VOD and DVD. Redacted, instead of an actual documentary, such as Iraq in Fragments (also shot independently, by a cameraman/director, on the streets of Iraq) or Taxi to the Dark Side or The War Tapes (which, to my mind, is as honest a documentary about troops on the ground in Iraq as is conceivable, being that it was shot by the troops themselves), all of which grossed many times more than Redacted’s pitiful $65k domestic.
Isn’t this setting the bar a bit low? I don’t argue that grossing $65k through direct DVD sales would be a victory for the usual independent filmmaker, but Johannes has higher aspirations. “My thesis is this: If it can be demonstrated that a pro-troop, pro-victory documentary can succeed in the market place by beating the domestic box office gross of an anti-war film like Redacted the money loving side of Hollywood will back a pro-troop movie.” I wish him luck in his endeavors (after about three weeks, he’s 34% of the way to his goal, according to the “Beat Hollywood!” graph on the sidebar of his site). I just don’t see how “beating” Redacted––a film no one in Hollywood or elsewhere was impressed with––will make much of an impression. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » Karina Longworth<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Here’s a look at the notable films opening this week that we’ve previously covered here on SpoutBlog:

Redacted: Bill O’Reilly can finally get a look at the film he’s sight-unseen been threatening to boycott, while Magnolia finally gets to put that whole all-press-is-good-press maxim to the test. Here’s my review from Telluride; for a recap on the possibly-contrived battle between director Brian DePalma and producer/distributor Mark Cuban, see here, here and here.
Beowulf: Is director Robert Zemeckis not doing press for this film because he knows it’s a bad idea to compete with the post-Comic-Con gushage over Angelina Jolie’s nakedness?
Smiley Face: Kevin and Paul are big fans of Gregg Araki’s stoner comedy, which came off a successful festival run to be all but abandoned by its distributor. The film opens on one screen in L.A. today before going straight to DVD. Listen to Paul’s interview with Araki here.
Margot at the Wedding: Noah Baumbach’s follow-up to The Squid and the Whale is disappointing, despite Nicole Kidman’s strong performance as a wicked sister. Read the review here.
Southland Tales: What can I say? I thought it was funny.

Magnolia Pictures and Landmark Theaters Owner Mark Cuban was voted off ABC’s Dancing With the Stars last night. Above, watch his final performance; below the jump, in his ABC-mandated exit interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Cuban talks about wearing a onesie, buying the Cubs, and baring his “unshaved” hip replacement scar on national television. Throughout this whole DwtS thing, Cuban has downplayed his secondary career as an indie film mogul in order to play up his persona as a magnanimous billionaire of the people, so it’s not a surprise that recent Magnolia controversies did not come up on Kimmel.

<strong>Body:</strong> Stories from the Telluride Film Festival, 2007. Paul talks to surrogate father figures Leonard Maltin and Werner Herzog (who was showing his Antarctica doc, Encounters at the End of the World). Karina weighs in on Brian DePalma&#39;s divisive Iraq film, Redacted. Kevin eventually gets a chance to ask Sean Penn about directing Into the Wild.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> We saw the following films at the 2007 Telluride Film Festival...Features: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, The Band&rsquo;s Visit, The Counterfeiters, When Did You Last See Your Father?, Persepolis, Terror&rsquo;s Advocate, Jar City, Blind Mountain, People on Sunday, Encounters at the End of the World, I&rsquo;m Not There, Juno, The Savages, Bergman Island: Ingmar Bergman on Faro Island, Cinema &amp; Life, For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism, and Redacted.  Shorts that played with features: FISSION, L&rsquo;AMERIQUE LUNAIRE, SALIM BABA, SPIDER, and YOURS TRULY.  Works from the "Great Expectations" program: FISH SOUP, DISTINGUISHING FEATURES, END OF THE LINE, COCO Y NICO, A SMALL DEATH, IF I DIE FAR FROM YOU, VENUS, and VER LLOVER.  Works from the "Student Prints" program: THE REPLACEMENT CHILD, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IN THE NAME OF THE SON, THE KNIFE GRINDER&rsquo;S TALE, and DEATH OF SHULA. It was a good festival - we only got turned away from one film - that was Into the Wild, however there were many passholders complaining about being turned away from more than one show. Tom <br/>
