It's just that lately they haven't put out anything near the quality of those films in a long while. It really seems like they've been scraping the bottom of the barrell (where EI/Seduction Cinema resides).
Good luck with your movie Mr. Watt, I definately will give it a look! :)
Oh and SCRAPBOOK, I thought that film was really pathetic. I thought they just tried too hard to be offensive and that the 2 leads were just plain awful. IMO this is probably the most over-rated indie film out there. Again, that's just my opinion on it. I know that a lot of people really seem to like it (which is what got me to buy it unfortunately).

Thanks for the well-wishing, Butcher! People have seemed to like it in the previews, but we'll have to wait and see.
Sub Rosa has some interesting stuff either out or coming out, depending on your taste, of course. If you're a Franco fan, we just put out two new titles, plus we have the title folks seem to be clamoring for, for some reason, BRIDE OF FRANK, due out next month.
SCRAPBOOK isn't for everyone. I think it's brilliant (and thought so long before I started working there), but I know people who think it's crap as well. Which is the neat thing about opinions: everyone's wrong! :) And while I really respect the film, I won't watch it again.
My current favorite is a silly title called HEY, STOP STABBING ME!, which is just fun.
As for THE ABSOLUTION, I agree completely with the problems you have with it, Kathy, and there's no sense in me trying to defend it. But for some reason, there were things in it that resonated with me and I ended up not hating it at the end. I think there should have been more time spent on the production, but that's sometimes a luxury...
