Didn't get a UK release until a few weeks ago either. I've actually been sitting on a copy since December but in my rush to catch up with 2013 films I didn't watch it. It's coming to the cinema here next week so I'm hopefully gonna catch it then.

I think that only opened here a week or two ago.

I mean, I'd seen it in time for the year's poll, but knew that most people wouldn't be voting for it this year, so it would have seemed a wasted vote.

On Closed Curtain: Has it even been picked up? And do you know where I could check stuff like that?
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 4 March 2014 00:18 (ten years ago) link
I don't think it does yet, but I'd be shocked if it didn't have some kind of release by years end.

New Wave Films looks like it might be giving it belated distribution. This page says "Spring 2014".

Cool! But that's UK, right?
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 4 March 2014 00:27 (ten years ago) link
Oh yes, sorry.

They'll also release Norte, which might be at the top of my wish-list at the moment. Hopefully at PIX14.

That looks amazing, but I've found no way to see it yet.
This was a fun thread, Gukbe. Thanks for sticking with it. :)
― Cherish, Tuesday, 4 March 2014 13:18 (ten years ago) link
did Missing Picture run anywhere in the US in '13? I remember seeing it in Ed G's top 10, and being p sure it didn't in NYC.

I didn't see it until 2014, but I figured it was eligible for this poll. In any case, going forward, we should just add onto previous totals if the current year's points outnumber the previous year's, a la Pazz/Jop.
― Eric H., Tuesday, 4 March 2014 13:31 (ten years ago) link
have you seen 2 Guns, Eric? I notice White House Down creeping onto your list there and I think it easily outdoes that in the absurd throwback action stakes
― Number None, Tuesday, 4 March 2014 13:38 (ten years ago) link
I did. I also saw Olympus Has Fallen (which a much snobbier friend of mine championed). What can I say? Our guilty pleasures choose us, and they all probably suck.
― Eric H., Tuesday, 4 March 2014 13:40 (ten years ago) link
there seems to a surprisingly clear divide between defenders of the two stupid White House under attack movies (I went with WHD as well)
I also voted for Lone Survivor which, despite its many dodgy aspects, does contain possibly the best shootout in American cinema since Heat
― Number None, Tuesday, 4 March 2014 13:48 (ten years ago) link
Missing Picture got some festival play plus a week-long thing in LA ( and maybe NY?) just for Oscar eligibility. I think it comes out properly (though dubbed in English) this month or the next.

Also, Cherish, there are ~~ways~~ to see Last Time I Saw Macao
― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Tuesday, 4 March 2014 13:51 (ten years ago) link
no, NY was only the Festival. LA shouldn't count.

so clemenza is the one non-millionaire in the Western world who liked the Bergdorf Goodman documentary? I saw the trailer and wanted to call in an Al Qaeda operation.
