Radioland Murders!?!?!?!?

[Bluyoda]

Have you ever seen Radioland Murders?

I just watched the trailer and thought it could be fun.

I love these sort of movies, so why did this one flop so horribly?
Is it really that bad?

Do you think it'll ever make it to Blu-ray?

Thanks in advance

I saw this in the theaters when I was a kid....it was a fun little premise but the voice that interupts the broadcast every once in a while to give clues scared the crap out of me.

I have yet to see it since I was a kid but I'm willing to try it again....just not on my surround sound.

Was a fun little movie. Good rental. I would love to see it on Blu.

Thanks guys. Do you know where I can find it online?

I am not going to buy it on DVD, as that format no longer has any meaning to me.

I am waiting for the Blu-ray to be released some day.

Because George Lucas was originally supposed to direct it, after his space-thingy that was supposed to flop--
And then, about fifteen years later, just after Willow, after he just didn't give a crap about directing any more, he gave the script (from the future "Howard the Duck" writers) to Mel Smith, director of "Bean: the Movie".
That should give you some idea of what a career funk Lucas was in at that point.

(We can only imagine how atmospherically the American Graffiti-era Lucas would've directed it back in the day--
As one critic put it, "This movie doesn't need a director, so much as it needs a traffic cop.")

Netflix offers it in both streaming and DVD formats.

Thanks for the heads up I'll stream it tonight!

I don't have Netflix, as I live in Europe. Any other way?

Maybe it's considered noraml pace now, as things have sped up considerably!?
