Actually, I thought he did the "Tarantino Presents" thing as a favor to Weinstein?

The reason the movie did so well is most didn't know it was subtitled.

I saw the movie on DVD last year thanks to a region-free DVD player and loved it but wonder how many people stormed out of the theater complaining about having toread subtitles....

I'm hoping that this REALLY opens the floodagtes for Asian films to get better distribution in the US.

Too bad Mirimax fucked up one of the best Asian films I've seen in awhile in "Shaolin Soccer" with a weak distribution plan and poor advertising.
