10.27.09 STUDIO WON’T RELEASE NIC CAGE’S PIGS
Wouldn’t you know it, Nic Cage finally does a movie that’s not about magic and treasure (Werner Herzog’s amazing-looking Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans) and what happens? The studio basically dumps it straight to DVD.
The studio has announced that Herzog’s film, “Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans” will be released to home video on February 23, 2010. With a limited theatrical release already penciled in for November 20th, we can’t remember the last time a studio announced the home video release of a film almost a month before it’s due to hit cinema screens. With this news, we’re going to guess that the theatrical release will probably be strictly a NY/LA only affair. We don’t see First Look striking up too many prints to send around the country if it’s going to be on Blockbuster shelves and in Netflix queues three months later. [ThePlaylist]
Jesus Christ what a bonehead move. This is a film that has singing iguanas, Nic Cage demanding his lucky crack pipe, and a director who started a film school with no classes on filmmaking, only lockpicking. If you’re in the marketing department and you can’t get people interested in that, you should just go back to being a club promoter. And anyone who’d rather see Vince Vaughn and His Girlfriend Fight During Holiday Dinner Part 7 than this should be zipped in a burlap sack, stuffed in a cannon, and fired at the sun. And kicked in the nuts.

Haha, he said “Blockbuster shelves”.
Even worse, February 23rd is two weeks two late to get it as a Valentine’s Day present for that special someone in your life.
Maybe if they had switched it to singing British geckos. They’re so in right now.
Doing a remake of Bad Lieutenant Nic? Don’t get forehead of yourself.

Pic 1 without the proper caption is just dead2Him.
Sue Kroll took one look at the trailer and said, “Yeah… you’re on your own, boys.”
It was that lame Port of Call shit they tacked onto the title that killed it. Seriously, try to make it sound like a shit Lifetime movie or something.
See, if they had gone with Bad Lieutenant Smokes Crack and Punches Geriatrics… golden!
I see some bonafide LOLCage material here.
