Our Ad Campaign --CLOSED THREAD

[Pug]

I've read a bit back up the page....I don't understand why Variety CS gives different answers to people trying to order...the gal I spoke with had no problem with the order and said after it was "published" it would be shipped and arrive in 3-5 days (from Cal.)

Maybe it depends where you live. I was told 3 weeks and you can't have "priority" shipping unless you have a Fed Ex account.

Fixed it - LittleBad, thanks.    We've doing well -- 64 in the first hour or so.   Still lots out there.

just a  suggestion, I am not sure if "two people who don't even exist" really works.  It goes without saying that these two characters are fictional, I think it's more powerful to do w/o. 

well since the ad has gone out, it'll have to stay

It's kind of a paraphrase from Ang Lee's speech accepting the best director award.

add the Lexington (KY) Herald Leader to the list

Did anyone contact Focus Features and Creative Artists Agency and let them know about this, and ask them to help get copies to everyone who worked on the movie -- including our beloved cast?  I"m imagning Heath and Michelle having breakfast and talking about how touched they are by this, or Jake on the set feeling a glow in his heart.

I don't want to create any more work for anyone, and I will do it myself tonight if no one has.

This is just such a beautiful Ad and Press Release, I just really want everyone involved with the making of the movie to see it and know about it -- and be able to get a copy themselves.

Is anyone willing to take on sending it to CAA and Focus Features and asking them to send it to the cast and crew?

If no one has the time, I'll be happy to do it myself tonight when I get home.

God bless you alll.

That's what I was just told, also.  They are trying to cope with an unexpected phenomenon.  Also, no guarantees.  They actually may not HAVE any extra copies to send.

Anyone who's willing to get me a copy of Daily Variety, please PM me! I live in Europe and I can pay via Pay Pal ! Thank you!

I apologize if this has been addressed previously on another page, but has Gustavo Santaolalla's name been corrected on the camera-ready version being sent to Variety for printing?  I would hate to see Gus' name wrong in the publication.  Thanks and keep up all the good work!

[happycamper]

Hey, you guys are tying up the phone lines on the 800 number and I can't get through! 
The Borders in Boston, MA does not have the Daily Variety, only the Weekly one, so still looking for a source. I wonder if Town News in Harvard Square would have it?

[notBastet]

I sent the press release to the Arts and Entertainment section of The News and Observer, Raleigh,NC.

[KathyinBama]

Oh, no, I have been trying to find somewhere in Alabama to buy it, but if you can't find it in Boston, I am doomed!!!

[Wayman Wong]

I sent the release to:

Wisconsin State Journal- Madison, WI
Capital Times - Madison, WI
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinnel, Milwaukee,  WI

Althought I'm sure the this will be contacted by the people Pete mentioned earlier...I tried the Chicago Tribune, but you must fax releases to them and I don't have access right now to a fax machine.
