Title: True (stupid) story.
Post by: Jon on June 18, 2003, 11:49:05 AM
Okay, gotta a little story for you guys, I was going through my DVD collection looking for all the PTA films to get 'em ready and sitting on top of my TV for the PTA-a-thon.

Found Magnolia. Found Boogie Nights. But for the life of me I Could Not Find Sydney.

I literally went through my entire collection (500 or so) looking for an out of place "S".

I sat down and thought "man, I must have lost it, I'm gonna have to buy it again---" and then it occurred to me: Hard Eight.

Yes. I know.

Filmcritic says that Sydney was just the title that PTA would have preferred, but the suits didn't think it was edgy enough.  That's probably your problem; look for Hard Eight instead.
