WHAT??! this one isnt coming to Jacksonville?!?! :( I was really looking forward to this one - after seeing the preview at BROTHERS BLOOM!! i even had it put on my calendar --

Anonymous | June 21st, 2009 16:08

Well, it looks like this promotion pissed off more people than it impressed. And for good reason. The tease made it sound like anyone could score the swag, but the reality was far, far from it.

There are real cities between the coasts!

Anonymous | June 21st, 2009 18:07

Dallas had many screenings, yet no goodies?

Anonymous | June 21st, 2009 20:17

Houston deserves free treats too

Anonymous | June 22nd, 2009 00:21

ugh, if houston was chosen i so would of bene happy, but then again they think this palce is ghetto it's stupid and so stereotypical. i fonly they did chose houston.

Anonymous | June 22nd, 2009 10:21

Saw the movie and loved it. Promoting it vigorously with everyone I know. Yet again, Chicago is overlooked. Baffling!

Anonymous | June 22nd, 2009 11:11

Chicago definitely needs to participate in this!!

Please send some things our way here in Michigan...

Anything for your friends in Las Vegas?

Anonymous | July 15th, 2009 10:41

When does the movie actually open in Houston? Are theaters even going to be playing it?

Anonymous | June 19th, 2009 15:35

Yeah, why is Tampa the red-headed stepchild???

June 19, 2009 we live in San Antonio too, and agree that a lot of people here go to more movies than those cities up north.

Yeah! which part of the country has more movie goers? We need a stimulas package for the best 500 treats of summer. Movies didn't get cheaper like gas did 100 days ago.

Did someone at Fox Searchlight talk to DQ about the 500 treats of summer? DQ advertise "That's what I like about Texas"? Uall know they are talking about treats.

Anonymous | July 5th, 2009 22:26

It is playing on July 14th at 6:30 in Waterville for the Maine International Film Festival. Look it up at miff.org and you can buy tickets as well. It'll be a 3 hour drive for me but I think it's going to be worth it!

Jacksonville? Good enough for a Superbowl, doesn't merit a movie????

Anonymous | June 20th, 2009 15:19

dallas?

Anonymous | June 20th, 2009 18:10

I know DFW is a very large city, why are we not listed?

Anonymous | June 20th, 2009 19:38

I don't understand why Big D n Ft. W aren't listed! Shouldn't there be something here if we our having free screenings here?

Anonymous | June 20th, 2009 20:55

WHAT ABOUT SACRAMENTO??? We are a very big city and they ALWAYS forget us :(

Anonymous | June 20th, 2009 21:44

The banks are taking all the money. And so are two people, who got caught in Italy with billions in a suitcase. We the people need a treat.

Anonymous | June 20th, 2009 21:48

"Remember the Alamo" San Antonio could use more treats... at least (500) Treats Of Summer would be welcomed at 5 P.M. with this green heat.

Anonymous | June 20th, 2009 22:31

I agree...Jacksonville always seems to get left out of things like this.

Anonymous | June 20th, 2009 07:13

Why is HOUSTON always left out?

Anonymous | June 19th, 2009 12:43

What about Memphis??

We are still waiting for movie dates for Houston, Texas. Yeah, I can't stand this city. Truly the armpit of America. (Can't wait to leave.)

CHICAGO IS THE THIRD LARGEST MARKET FOR SPECIALTY FILMS AND GETS TREATED LIKE A RED-HEADED STEP CHILD OVER AND OVER AGAIN! We have MORE food choices than LA & NYC COMBINED & are NEVER given the proper respect from the marketing wing of ANY or ALL FILM COMPANIES... I wonder why????

Anonymous | June 19th, 2009 15:17

It looks like Tampa, FL doesn't matter to FOX or ALL of these SPONSORS either!! How 'bout it?!

Anonymous | June 19th, 2009 15:31

What about San Antonio

Anonymous | June 19th, 2009 15:35

Hellooo, Chicagoans would like to participate in this! :)

Now Minneapolis/St. Paul isn't exactly a small area....why don't we rate???

Yes, what about Houston?! We're the 4th largest city in the country. Y'all come on down!

Anonymous | June 19th, 2009 18:28

Pretty please. Even just a shirt or something. :)
