Were it not for this message board- I'd almost think that I imagined the movie and that it doesn't actually exist.
Does anyone have any recent info on sequels or dvd release or ways of procurring this movie- so I can prove to my friends that this movie is real and I'm not crazy!? I can't find anything on it anywhere, save here and on it's never seemingly updated website.
Thanks.
You can go to the movie's official website and sign up to be notified when it is available on DVD. You'd think it would make good titilating Blockbuster store-shelf fodder, so I'm hopeful I'll get a chance to see it soon.
That said, I saw James Ronald Whitney's film "Just Melvin, Just Evil" five years ago at the Seattle International Film Festival, and have been waiting quite a long time to see that one on DVD...
Don't bother signing up to be notified. I saw this 3 years ago in Boston, and it's one of my favorite movies of all time. I thought it was so funny, so clever, so profoundly provocative. I immediately signed up to be notified. I even emailed Ronald Whitney to ask him when it would be on dvd (no reply). I just can't understand it. With all the tripe that gets released, this amazing film, which is one of the smartest parodies of reality television, voyeurism and the extent to which people will go to be famous, is still a hidden jewel. I have been eagerly awaiting the alleged sequels (CA? Bible Belt?) but it looks like Whitney lost interest or something because if you go to that website, it looks the same now as it did 3 years ago, after I first saw the film.
It's a shame. If there is anyway, you can get find a copy of the film, it's worth it - a truly amazing piece of art.
