Interesting...

As those who have been following this know, I have my opinions, but rarely get political. My brother on the other hand... now that's a different story.

There is a very interesting article on his blog that I almost added to mine. He sent it to me originally in an email, and it was a little too long to post, so I am glad he did. It is really informative. You can find it here. Seriously... check it out.

Ohh... this email just arrived – cool! (edited for content)

Dear Fugitive Hunter Principals,

This is Larry (Producer) with some updated information that you may appreciate or that you may want to pass on to the folks you've been talking to about Fugitive Hunter--especially those in the Sacramento area.

CELEBRATION AND AUTOGRAPHS
Details
are not refined yet and notice is short, but I hope you can all make it to a DVD Release Celebration and Autograph signing upstairs at the PYRAMID ALEHOUSE
on SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 18 from 1:30 to 5:30 (or 6:00 or until the restaurant &
bar closes downstairs). I'm sure many of your fans will want to bring their copies of Fugitive Hunter for you to autograph. Among the details to be finalized Monday, is whether or not I'll be able to have several copies of the dvd on hand at near to resale prices for those who haven't yet purchased the movie.

TELEVISION NEWS
Following up on his earlier (2003)
interview with Wayne and RF, Jonathan Mumm interviewed John and me for this week's "Postcard" on Channel 10. It aired Friday evening and is scheduled to air again during the Sunday evening news cast and Monday's mid-day broadcast. I'd just as soon not mention it, but some of you may want to know about it.

John Jimenez produced a 30 minute program entitled "My Dinner With Audrey" that's scheduled to air at 5:30 on Saturday the seventeenth. I've been told it includes a reference to Fugitive Hunter and was well-received at an advanced screening.

MY SATURDAY SCOUTING REPORT
I spent quite a bit of time today scouting the Sacramento landscape to see what I could learn about Fugitive Hunter's release to the public this Tuesday. What I
found wasn't particularly heartening, so I encourage you and "your people" to
check before making an instore purchase:

Retail
Best Buy has received its shipment and will have them available. The Arden store will have 4 copies and the other stores will have 2. Folsom will not be carring it.

Circuit City, Good Guys, Target, WalMart, and Tower will not carry it; nor will Sun Coast, but they were quick to say they could order it. Unless they've reconsidered after I spoke with them, Dimples will not be carrying it.

Rental
Blockbuster has not received it and does not have it on order. Hollywood Video has received it and will have it available Tuesday. I only checked the one near me on Greenback Lance, but it was being checked in as I arrived and I got to see and touch the 2 display cases--yeah, a little corny. The employee was enthusiastic.

It is also available from Netflix.

Online
I am sure it will continue to be available at Amazon, and I noticed today that DeepDiscountDVD price ($16.72) was not advertised as a presale price, so I guess we'll find out Tuesday whether that's a presale or permanent price.

My impression is that after the first quarter or so, Lions Gate will discount it or pass it off to a discounter and that's when it might actually show up in discount stores like Target and WalMart. That's something new to learn, so we'll see how that goes as time goes on.
