NOW AVAILABLE!

The wait is over! Living In Missouri is now available on DVD. You can buy it right here.

Plus, you can read an interview with director Shaun Peterson at the Film Threat website.

Of course, it still appears to be on "backorder" at all the major e-tailers like Amazon and BN.com. I'm guessing that will change over the course of the next week, as the discs start showing up in their warehouses. In any case, it's better to just order it from the Film Threat store.

On day of release, Amazon featured a list of "Similar Items" on DVD. It's a fascinating bunch of films, and based on the available descriptions, none of them are in ANY way similar to Living In Missouri....


Die Todesgöttin des Liebescamps-- known in the US as Love Camp or Divine Emanuelle, this is described by one user on IMDB as "Hair in a cult prison camp-- one of those hippie/"free love"-type films that were big in the early 1970's (complete with some truly insipid musical numbers) except that it was made in 1980 and was also obviously influenced by the very unpleasant series of Nazi prison camp movies that were big in the mid-to-late 70's."


The Stone Raft - "The Spanish peninsula tears away from the rest of continental Europe and is propelled like a huge stone raft toward a catastrophic collision."


Mardi Gras Massacre - "Police try to capture someone who is committing ritual murders of women during Mardi Gras in New Orleans."


The Stairway To The Distant Past - "The unlucky private detective, Mike Hama, again treads the gray streets of Yokohama in this sequel to The Most Terrible Time in My Life. The adventure begins in Maiku Hama's office, located above a run-down cinema that is so desperate for cash, they charge admission to Hama's potential clients. For this case, the clumsy and nattily dressed detective begins investigating the true identity of the enigmatic crimelord of the waterfront, the White Man. He must also deal with the sudden reappearance of his estranged mother who abandoned him and his sister many years before. She works as a stripper and bills herself as Dynamite Sexy Lily. "


Mimino - "In this outrageous cult comedy, Valiko Mizandari – nicknamed "Mimino" (the falcon) – services small villages in the mountains of Georgia with his helicopter. The pilot is loved by everyone and dreams of piloting a large international airlines aircraft, so he leaves for Moscow, only to find his dream more complicated than he could have imagined. Filled with charming local color, warm and humorous characters, and brilliant acting, this offbeat gem is bound to tickle your funny bone!"


No Witness - "A recently indicted senator hires a professional hit man to rid him of an underage girl who's obsessed with becoming his wife." Featuring Corey Feldman.


I Exist - "Gay people exist in Armenia, Syria, Iran, Egypt and Sudan too. They are Christians, Muslims and Jews, belonging to and rejected by their own cultures. In this series of interview we learn a bit about their lives and hear a few critiques of western media and its oversimplified, often negative depictions of these peoples and cultures. "


Different - "The German industrial music scene has produced some highly influential music over the years. Bands such as Nine Inch Nails and Skinny Puppy undoubtably owe a sizeable debt to trailblazers such as Einsturzende Neubauten and DAF. Different aims to shine a light on some of the bands who have come to the forefront of Germany's industrial scene at the beginning of the 21st century. Seventeen live tracks are featured, all coming from bands signed to labels affiliated with the COP organization."



Refuge of Fear - (UK video title: Survivors of the Last Race)
"Time... The not too distant future. Place... The USA. Problem... Nuclear war. Effect... A society with no rules."

Of course, the very next day, Amazon's list of "similar items" vanished. They now say they can find "no similar items" in any category. Honestly, I have no idea what their system is for determining this stuff, maybe once more people start buying it, some kind of pattern will emerge. Hopefully, over time, a more accurate list of related items will be featured. Other stores like Netflix and Tower Records list films like Donnie Darko and Election, which aren't exactly "similar" but at least they also feature the wonderful Holmes Osborne ("Eddie Darko"), who plays "Uncle Roy" in our film....
