LAST EDITED ON Apr-23-01 AT 04:00 PM (EDT)First of, this rant might not really belong here and I apologize for that. But this is the only place on the 'Net which I visit more often than once a month that hasn't got a rant about this. And I've got to let of some steam.
As I've mentioned in an earlyer post I live in Germany.
Mononoke Hime just hit the cinemas in Germany. That in itself is a Good Thing. But now lets look a little closer and count the cinemas which are showing MH. THERE ARE JUST THIRTY-FIVE OF THEM!!!! That really pisses me off, thirty-five cinemas, of which five alone are in Berlin. That leaves only thirty for the rest of Germany. I may not live in a big city like Berlin or Hamburg, but I can reach about seven cinemas within half an hour. But Mononoke Hime was shown in none of them. I had to drive for two and a half hours to reach a cinems which showed the movie. And there was no advertising. No posters, no commercials on TV, nothing. Is Buena Vista International in some financial trouble I don't know about? Because those fucking bastards could have done a lot better than this. They tell us that there will be new cinemalist next week. But I don't believe that the situation will brighten up. Well, they digged their own grave this time. The lynchmobs are organizing and prepairing for battle.

Valkyries I saw, coming from afar,
Eagerly riding to aid the Goths
But they got all stomped by the mighty foot of Monty Python.
Sanity is an overrated concept.
