Agreed. I found out about this moving in Sept, and found out a week late that it played at the Austin Film Festival (an easy drive for me)... so I'm getting pretty annoyed that I can't see this movie yet.
Knocked Up I feel had trouble justifying the rental fee... maybe that's too harsh, perhaps I wasn't in the best frame of mind to watch it.
I'm thinking D.B. and co. ought to see about having Apple iTunes (or other popular, but non-studio affiliated entity) distribute this...
This is why I have come to hate the major movie studios... this and their associated television studios cancel all my favorite programs in favor of mindless garbage (reality tv series, evening game shows, etc.)
Way too much control over the mass-media delivery systems/logistics.
These days, indie delivery systems should be able to completely bypass them (and the writers and people who actually did much of the work actually get paid a proper penny).
Sorry for the diatribe.
