Is middle men on nation wide release in America, i`m trying to find out how well its performed.The trailer makes it look like a bigger movie than it actually is...Rotten tomatoes states 0.3m at the box office,which is rather bad.the trailer really sells it for me..Whats going on? I watch movies online and yet there is no buzz for it..I`m a little confused. i realise it had a budget of 22 milion and will naturally be on less screens than inception.But i really want luke to have a hit movie..Although i love all of his movies(blonde ambition not included, i`m sorry it makes me cringe) his choices are not as wide as owens because of the box office bombs.If owen had made this movie it would have opened bigger. To still be a movie star 14 years later is quite impressive though..I can still remeber watching bottle rocket for the first time not knowing they were brothers, i love that..So happy they are still making movies when so many actors struggle

Very nice new interview here as evidenced by this excerpt: At the risk of creating an embarrassing but perhaps partially correct impression of a man-crush, in person Luke Wilson is a highly charismatic guy. Behind his highly colloquial speech — I've left out a lot of "likes" — is an intelligence that, without giving away much of anything, dispenses with a lot of the usual show business interview platitudes. Now in his late 30s, he also appeared thinner than his slightly chunky appearance on "Middle Man" or his recent AT&T commercials. www.tv.com/a-roundtable-chat-with-luke-wilson-of-middle-men/webnews/131441.htmlGosh, Locke. I am little confused, too. Initially the feedback seemed positive about MM but now the approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes has dropped to 43%. I am a little bummed. Bummed and frustrated because it is not showing here in Atlanta and I cannot even figure out if it is coming at all. I want to support Luke but I cannot go see a movie that is not playing. And he needs the support. As you pointed out, the budget for the film was $20M and it has only made $543,000, although to be fair it has only been playing a week in 252 theaters. I don't post here everything I see because I have noticed that some people get annoyed by the less-than-glowing links, but I read something on Luke recently saying that he would be an excellent fit at this point for TV. And that was a compliment, by the way. I think the point was that his likeability would be a real asset on the small screen and he could do some good character work in that medium. So I hope Enlightened (if it would ever start filming) is a success and opens some different doors. I don't want Luke to go away. He's just too good... Ooops. Didn't mean to get all Debbie Downer on you. I will go spend some time on Andrew's Crotch Thread and get perked up, OK. (You guys know by now that I am always joking, right. Um, sort of.)

I've been saying as much for a while that Luke would be good on TV and am pleased he got Enlightened. Many films now aren't getting big releases and it's a sign of the times with so much piracy and also the cost of tickets, at least in London it's £10.50 ($15.60) for an adult ticket at my local Vue cinema, so I can see why some people are reluctant to pay the high price if the dvd's coming out in 3 months. I'd still like to see Luke with a big starring role and Middle Men at least has got a lot of publicity which Tenure didn't.
Another thing which annoys me is the big gap between some US and UK releases, so much that the US dvd is out before the UK film release has premiered. Marley and Me had a gap of over 3 months and Marmaduke is opening here next week but the US dvd is already coming out later this month. A lot of people like me have multi-region dvd players and can play US dvds so could order it online, although I'm not so interested in this film so won't be going or ordering.

"Middle" man Luke Wilson makes hard work look easy - By his own account, Luke Wilson should never have become an actor. Growing up in Dallas, he wasn't active in drama; he did one play in high school, and the writer-director yelled at him for not taking things seriously. He was "forced" into his breakthrough role in the short film "Bottle Rocket" by its writers: his brother Owen and director Wes Anderson. And he has never, ever had a headshot. Wilson explains in his signature laid-back Southern drawl, "I was told many times, 'You need one, go get one!' And I could never bring myself to do it. I'd go into auditions, and I'd see a stack of a thousand of them, and I would tell myself, 'I may not get this job, but I know I'm not going to be in that stack.'" While it would be easy to resent Wilson for his subsequent success, he remains an engaging screen presence: a likable Everyman who brings his low-key charm and easy affability to even the most nebulous of roles. It helped him stand out when he was cast as a series of nonthreatening boyfriends in the "Legally Blonde" and "Charlie's Angels" films and "My Super Ex-Girlfriend." And he has taken interesting risks along the way, dodging killers in the underrated thriller "Vacancy" and playing a disillusioned cynic who unwillingly houses a miracle in "Henry Poole Is Here." He also leveraged his success to co-write and co-direct (with his other brother, Andrew) the offbeat comedy "The Wendell Baker Story," in which he also played the title role. And if anyone still wants to dismiss Wilson for never having taken a single acting class, his sublime turn as the suicidal tennis pro in love with his adopted sister in "The Royal Tenenbaums" should be enough to earn the actor at least some grudging respect. Recently, audiences have seen Wilson mostly on the small screen, as the spokesperson for AT&T in a campaign he admits drew him some criticism. "I've had people say disparaging things to me about doing ads," he notes. "It would surprise you the kind of people who are negative and then the people I really respect -- from Dennis Quaid to Stephen Stills -- who say really good things about them." But Wilson had another reason for wanting to do the commercials: They were directed by Oscar-winning documentarian Errol Morris, whom Wilson is a fan of. "To get to work with him was unbelievable," Wilson enthuses. "And, I mean, who am I to say I'm not going to do an ad? Or say no to working with Errol Morris?" One other perk: "I did get four or five free iPhones," he says, "which I gave to friends." Wilson has just returned to theaters with "Middle Men," a fictionalized retelling about the first entrepreneurs to put pornography on the Internet. Based on producer Christopher Malick's own experiences, the film begins in 1995 and stars Wilson as Jack Harris, an average guy who ends up in business with two unpredictable drug abusers (played by Giovanni Ribisi and Gabriel Macht) who become millionaires when they hit upon the idea to put adult content online. In addition to their own excesses, the three end up battling the Russian mafia and enduring an FBI investigation, while Harris tries to maintain his front of a normal family man. Although the role initially seems right in Wilson's wheelhouse as the ordinary guy in over his head, it also offers the actor an opportunity to exhibit a darker side, particularly as Harris' personal life unravels. The film relies on Wilson holding the center to make the story believable and -- more important -- to make us care about this amiable screwup. Or as Ribisi puts it, "He's the calm in the storm -- the guy who sort of made sense of it all. In this movie, Luke is better than I have ever seen him." "ROCKET" MAN Wilson was unlike his brothers, who always knew they wanted to work in the movie business. Though he remembers being fascinated by films and reading about directors, he originally attended college as a track athlete. "By the time I got into acting, I hadn't gotten around to figuring out what I wanted to do," he says. So it was Owen and Wes' fault he became an actor? "Definitely," Wilson says, without a trace of irony. "They were very driven and practical and just sort of told me I would be in their movie." The movie in question was the 1994 short "Bottle Rocket," in which the brothers played would-be thieves trying to stage a burglary. Wilson didn't think much of the project: "I can remember thinking, 'What the hell's a short film? Who watches them? How do you tell a story in 13 minutes?' But even then, Owen and Wes had a real forward-thinking vision." Shooting the short marked the first time either Wilson appeared in front of a camera, and they were off to an inauspicious start. "We were shooting a scene behind a 7-Eleven, just me and Owen," Wilson recalls. "Wes said 'Action,' and we both just stood there. We didn't know what to do. It was the worst kind of feeling." Though the short got into Sundance and eventually led to the 1996 feature version of "Bottle Rocket," which became a cult sensation on video, things were far from glamorous. "When we went to Sundance, we thought we made it," Wilson recalls. "But nothing happened there. On top of that, we couldn't get into any movies or parties. It was like going back to grade school; we felt like complete outsiders -- which we were." The film found its way to James L. Brooks, who signed on as producer and brought the directors to Los Angeles and gave them offices at Columbia Pictures to develop the feature version. Wilson, who had dropped out of school, joined them in L.A. and spent his time "hanging around." Several times, the film got the green light to shoot, only to have it canceled. "We'd celebrate and get so pumped up, and then they would tell us we were put on hold," Wilson says. "We were like, 'But we celebrated the green light already!'" At one point, there was discussion of making the film with different, bankable actors. "I was actually the one who said, 'That seems like a good idea!'" he recalls with a laugh. "I thought Wes could just put us in the next one. But to Jim Brooks' credit, he said, 'It makes no sense to do the movie unless you have these guys.'" When the feature version of "Bottle Rocket" finally came out, it made less than $1 million in theaters, and Wilson didn't work for another year and a half. He was down to his last $400 from shooting "Bottle Rocket" when he began to book roles. At first it was small parts like one day on "Scream 2" or little indies like "Best Men," but a year later he was sharing top billing with Drew Barrymore in "Home Fries" and Martin Lawrence in "Blue Streak." Wilson notes he didn't put any qualifiers on the size of role or type of film he was interested in. "From the beginning it was never about lead roles or important roles," he maintains. "I just wanted good parts in any kind of movie. Some of my favorite roles were smaller parts that had a big impact, like Jack Nicholson in 'Easy Rider.'" Wilson also doesn't spend any time worrying over the legacy of his projects. "My favorite actor is Warren Oates, and he's not someone who spends a lot of time asking himself, 'Should I do this movie? Shouldn't I?' It's more like, 'I'm free. I'll do it.' "I know it can be frowned up, and I respect both sides of the fence: people who do everything and people who are really choosy. I just feel, for me, my personality and how I'm happiest is when I'm on the job." August 16, 2010

Interview #2 Luke Wilson shoots for the top in 'Middle Men' Luke Wilson plays Internet porn pioneer Jack Harris in Middle Men. He stars as a guy from real life in new movie Middle Men, but you have to remind Luke Wilson that he has played one before — namely one of the Wright brothers alongside his brother Owen. "That's a good point!" he says with a slightly embarrassed laugh. "Thank you. That'll be a good thing to say while I'm doing press: 'Funny you should ask. This is not my first historical piece ...' And then I can just look at the face of the interviewer while it just goes blank as I mention Around the World in 80 Days." (Luke was Orville and Owen was Wilbur in the 2004 film.) The man he's playing in Middle Men is a bit more contemporary than one of the first men to fly an airplane. Jack Harris pioneered selling adult entertainment on the Internet in 1995, and the comedy-drama follows this businessman as he gets in way too deep with criminals, mobsters and other seedy individuals. REVIEW: Web porn is born in darkly comic 'Middle Men' "I gotta admit, you read about people who are like, 'Yeah, I moved to West Virginia to study coal miners when I was going to do a movie about the mines,' and I always kind of envied those people," Wilson says. "I just never had a role come along surprisingly where I got to do research and talk to the guy." Wilson spent "a ton of time" with the real Harris and found that he was just a regular guy. "It wasn't some kind of Casino- or Goodfellas-type guy. This is a real businessman where this happens to be one thing he invested in that hit like an oil well and went off," he says. "Sometimes, I'm not a huge fan of watching myself in stuff, but this is one of those things that I actually felt like I was just a regular moviegoer and it was fun to watch." Back in 1995 when Harris hit it big, Wilson was a fresh-faced Texan filming the low-budget feature Bottle Rocket with his older brothers Owen and Andrew and their director pal, Wes Anderson. While popular appearances in movies such as Old School, Charlie's Angels and Legally Blondefollowed, Bottle Rocket— an offbeat crime caper film — will always have a special place in Wilson's heart. "We really were kids and we really were overwhelmed, yet we were kind of quietly determined in our own way to do something different," he recalls. It was also around that time that he was making his way out to Los Angeles, and he recently came to the surprising realization that he has been in Hollywood for 16 years. Wilson says he's moving into a new phase of his career in which he's a little more realistic about the business. "I'm past the point of like, 'Well, I'll take a shot at it and see what happens.' This is what I do, and I suppose I should have known that a long time ago. I'm a little slow, as you know," he says, still chuckling about his forgotten Wright brother. "I'm 38 now, and now is the time to focus on what I really want to do, and that's to make good movies, make interesting movies like Middle Men, and then try to make my own movies." Wilson has been the face of AT&T on TV commercials recently, and he's staying on the small screen for a while: He's filming the HBO show Enlightened with Laura Dern (it's tentatively scheduled to air next year). In addition, Wilson is working on a script for an action movie that he and his brother Andrew would direct, and he has another one finished based on the 1997 novel White Widow by journalist Jim Lehrer. Wilson embraces the idea of doing smaller roles that allow him to learn and focus on his own projects. But he knows having a good mixture of lead roles in there, as in Middle Men, will help in getting his movies made, too. "This is coming at a good time for me, especially having it be something different and not having it be an out-and-out comedy or a romantic comedy," Wilson concludes. "I feel very fortunate." 8/8/2010 USA TODAY

Good Review for Luke from the Dallas Morning News... Middle Men - Review Dallas Morning News The internet has become so common place and we all seem to take the things we do online for granted. We seldom stop and think about procedures like online billing and credit card purchases. But all of that coding had to start somewhere. Someone had to think of a better way to get around on the net. The new film from writer/director George Gallo tells the story of Jack Harris (Luke Wilson), a business guru who gets involved with the pioneering of e-commerce. When the two smart, but very idiotic, guys (Giovanni Ribisi and Gabriel Macht) come up with the concept as a way to better watch adult entertainment online it is up to Jack to harness the million dollar a month industry and keep the mob from killing them all. Based on actual events and the people who lived them, Middle Men is smartly written and perfectly acted. Ribisi delivers a humorous and drugged out performance that is at times a little too "Hunter Thompson" but still memorable. Wilson is convincing as the straight laced family man who wants nothing to do with the gritty industry that could cost him his life and family. I appreciated the look and style of the film as well. It is fast paced with the right balance of internet nostalgia, gangsters and business. LA and Vegas make perfect backdrops for this story. Middle Men is rated R for strong sexual content, nudity, language, drug use and violence. This is definitely an adult geared flick and although a superb film, many will find the content a bit excessive. So be careful going into this one. I give it 4 out of 5 double clicks. Certainly not a film for everyone but a well made product all the same. Posted Aug 6, 2010 10:19 AM Dallas Morning News

And the answer is.....I am surprised no one has a comment about the truth in Luke's weight gain/and now weight loss....He explains it.....and it was all for the love of his job....Now that is dedication to your work...I sure don't think I would gain 25 pounds for my work...love it or not! #wink# #wink# #wink#
Anywho enjoy the read....
Interview: Luke Wilson
Trying on a Dramatic Role in 'Middle Men'
Film Editor Emmanuel Itier: Did you really gain 25 pounds for this role?
Luke Wilson: Yeah. It was one of those things when you get a little older, and I’m like, “Great…pasta, Mexican food, beer…all the things you have to avoid…” But obviously, as an actor, you look up at those people who push themselves, not like it was a super important part of the role, but it was something that, as you get older, you can just stop exercising and you don’t eat very well, and in a week, you gain 12 pounds. It’s not like I did a DeNiro, obviously.
EI: How about taking it off again?
LW: More difficult. Still working on it. Of course, I tried to just eat right, but I won’t start jogging. You’ve really got to do both. I played sports growing up and I was always in good shape, but when you pass 30 and you pass 35… I thought I might be immune.
EI: You did a remarkable job in this film. There is a lot of material there. How did you approach it, and how much time did you spend with Chris Mallick?
LW: I always envied actors who got to play a real person and who got to do research. This was pretty much right there on the page. You read about someone playing Diane Fossey or Hunter S. Thompson, which Johnny Depp played, and you think: “God, that would be incredible.” So I thought now is the perfect time to do that, and it helped that he wasn’t computer savvy at all. Chris Mallick, who the character is based on, was there every day, every shot, and also on location. I spent a ton of time with him. I’d eat lunch with him and go to dinner with him… He was a cool guy. He wouldn’t give straight or cool advice, but I could ask him any questions I wanted to. I found that really interesting, and it helped to relax me, as it was a different role for me. Not that I didn’t think I could do it, but you get told enough: “Wow, this is a really different role for you.” I’m like: “Wow, it is – should I be doing Legally Blonde 3?” So it was great to have the chance to be able to see that this is a real guy who is just a businessman who actually did get in over his head.
EI: Why would people say that this is a different role for you? You have that everyman kind of persona.
LW: I don’t know. Perhaps it was the subject matter. I also tend to think of the movies people bring up, like Old School, and the majority of what I’ve done are comedies. That was why I was interested to take the role. I feel lucky that someone like George Gallo (director) considered me for the role, so you really want to take it and run with it.
EI: You’ve worked many times with Bill Murray (Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums), and he has an interesting way of promoting a movie these days. For example, he went to the movie premiere in Poland for Get Low, but not to the LA Press day.
LW: [Laughs] This I’ve got to hear!
EI: Well, he did David Letterman, and he sat down on the sofa soaking wet. Has he always been that quirky?
LW: No, I think he had more a traditional approach in promoting movies back in those days! [Laughs] He’s always been a totally different guy. I’ve heard he doesn’t have an agent anymore — he has a 1-800 number. I hear that and I think that guy is a genius! What you forget about him is that he’s been in the business for over 30 years, so I could see him getting a little tired of it all. He wouldn’t want to go on Entertainment Tonight. There’s nobody else like him. But on those movies, he was doing things a little more traditionally. At least he was in Poland. I bet none of the other guys were. [Laughs]
EI: What do you think the audience will think of your character?
LW: I never think about that while I’m doing it. I think they would show sympathy. It’s not like he kills anybody or anything like that.
EI: Well, indirectly – he becomes an accessory to manslaughter.
LW: Well, yeah. And he does kind of redeem himself at the end. I think people will be able to identify with him. He is just a regular guy and a businessman. He’s really just trying to help a friend and gets into this other business, and it takes off like the oil business. Overnight, he’s making money hand over fist and he gets drawn into this world of Internet porn, and he loses his moral compass but finds it again.
EI: You have big responsibilities beyond the movie. You promote AT&T nationally. How did they feel about you gaining 25 pounds for a role?
LW: That was after, when I was trying to get the weight off.
EI: Did they look at you and think: “You’ve got to get on a treadmill!”
LW: Probably! I don’t know if any of them said it. You definitely want your guy who’s repping you to look good.
EI: Do you get a lot of attention from people calling out on the street about their poor…
LW: Service? I think the first time it happened to me, I was making a connection at Denver airport and some guy said something to me about service, and I looked at him and thought: “About what? What does that have to do with movies? What movie was I in the service industry?” I just hadn’t seen the ads. And then all of a sudden, they were on all the time. It shows the power of the media, where you’ve been making movies for 15 years and then you become the AT&T guy. “Hey, you’re the AT&T guy?!” I guess I am!
EI: Do you feel limited in what you can do as an actor?
LW: I just like to be busy. That’s when I’m the most happy. When I’m working, whether it’s a TV show, commercials, or a movie, and I’m doing other stuff…it makes me want to write my own stuff. I’m always meeting crew people and actors. I like being on the set. I like working with different people. The guy who directed those AT&T ads was the guy who directed The Thin Blue Line and all these incredible documentaries. To get the chance to be around him day in and day out was really incredible. So it’s interesting to work for a big company like that.
EI: So you can’t help me with my service at all?
LW: I can give you the card of a guy who I think you should call.
EI: I really liked you in your first film, Bottle Rocket, which was almost a western. I don’t think you’ve made a western.
LW: I haven’t. In fact, someone asked me today if there is anything I’d like to do, and that’s definitely at the top of my list. I’d like to do a sports movie too. Being from Texas, I’m a big Eastwood fan. Last night I was watching High Planes Drifter for like the 50th time. I would definitely like to do a Western — those kind of themes and simple stories. I like the idea of being on location in Mexico or Montana. It seems like it would be incredible.
EI: Any plans to work with Owen (Wilson)?
LW: He’s crazy doing things all over the place. He’s on his third movie in a row right now. Owen kind of marches to his own tune. Right now he’s in Paris working with Woody Allen. We always want to do stuff together, and not just with Owen but with my brother Andrew [Wilson] too. It’s just a matter of getting us all together, and we need to buckle down and write a good script, which we would like to do.
EI: What was it like working with James Caan? You worked with him on Bottle Rocket too?
LW: It was great. He was the first big star that we worked with. We would always kid around. We would high-five ourselves back then! “This is incredible! James Caan!” And then we would look at him on the set and he would be like, “What am I doing here? I was working with Coppola. I was working with Michael Mann and now I’m working in Dallas.” Really, that’s how he was the first two days. We thought, this poor guy. He thought we looked weird. We sounded weird. There would be takes when I’d say something and he wouldn’t even do a line. He would just look at the director. But after a couple of days, I don’t know what happened, but he really did perk up. Maybe he admitted defeat. He was really nice to us. He is a really good guy. I’ve kept in touch with him over the years, so like 15, 16 years later, it’s nice to get the chance to work with him again. It was really really cool.
EI: What’s your next project?
LW: I’m working on an HBO series created by Mike White called Enlightened, which has been really cool. I’ve been working with some great people like Diane Lane and Robin Wright Penn. It’s about Laura Dern’s character and how she’s trying to find herself, and I play her crazy ex-husband who’s not very hopeful. It’s a great role.
EI: Do you look back on your career and the fact that you’re still making movies in Hollywood after all these years? Are you still amazed and grateful?
LW: Yeah, it does seem like a job, and it’s a job I like. It’s never gotten to be like Angelina adopting kids or becoming an UN ambassador where I feel more like a working actor, whilst at the same time I feel really lucky.

Mixedberry - Excellent, excellent review! I am so excited (and jealous, baby!) that you got to see MM. So happy that Luke turned in a solid performance in a good movie. I love the supporting cast, too. Are you in Texas? Were there lots of folks in the theater? Could you tell the overall reaction? I am just crossing my fingers hoping it comes to Atlanta next week. I read that the 20th is the wide release but I am hoping for sooner. As if! A shirtless Luke alone is worth the price of admission. Hi cookie, sorry I took so long to respond. Major drama on the homefront. I was scheduled to move at the end of this month, after spending night and day looking for an apartment. Turns out the mgmt company didn't tell us they were evicting the current tenant. Things went bad, tenant went AWOL, and with the current laws it will take weeks to have the apt available (they have to get the court and sheriff involved). Bottom line I won't be moving until October. So anyway, I am in Chicago. There were about 10 other people in the theater but keep in mind this was a 10:30 am showing on a weekday. Not much reaction, but I tend to be the one laughing outloud at things. No one walked out though. I think everyone there knew what they were going into as far as the content goes. I hate to be the one to post this, but I have heard MM is not expanding because it has done so poorly. They really dropped the ball on the promotion. No one I know that is not a Luke Wilson fan even knew this movie existed. Other than watching Luke on the talk shows I saw the trailer once, it was before Cyrus, another movie most people didn't see. No tv commercials, billboards, internet ads. I saw more promotion for Battle For Terra and Henry Poole

Wow, Mixedberry. Sounds like you are caught between a rock and a hard place with your apartment dilemma. That must be unsettling and I will cross my fingers for you hoping that you get where you need to be soon.
I have been checking our theater schedules like a mad woman since the film opened and you are 100% correct. No Middle Men in Atlanta this weekend. Big, big disappointment. I just gutted it out for 2+ hours watching Eat Pray Love and I know that Middle Men is better than that twee piece of crap, which is making big bucks, by the way. *sigh*
So you are a very lucky girl for having gotten to see MM! I will just have to live vicariously through you and read your review over and over and over. Maybe you could give us a frame-by-frame in-depth description of the shirtless Luke scenes. Feel free to embellish, as appropriate. We need the diversion!
Patience is not my strong suit. I would have been the first person in the theater but now I guess I will have to wait until MM is out on blu-ray.
Damn you, Movie Gods. *shakes fist at sky*

OK! For those less fortunate folks who were denied the opportunity of seeing MM, we are FINALLY going to get to stop pouting. They have set a date for Middle Men to be released on DVD. About freakin' time, too, because I am dying to see this movie. The film will be released on DVD and blu-ray on 2/15/11 so mark your calendars. Whoo hoo! Maybe we can have a release party or something and all watch it simultaneously! dvd.ign.com/articles/113/1133459p1.htmlThe only down side is that they are releasing it in 2011 and will be missing the Christmas shopping season. No Luke in our stockings, darn it. And MM would be the perfect stocking stuffer, too. Grandma Sue and Aunt Erma would love Santa to bring them a good ol' movie about the creation of the online porn industry, right? I mean, it has Luke Wilson in it so who wouldn't love it? These people should let me design their marketing plan. I am all over it, baby.

Oh, did you notice the bonus materials?
-- Deleted Scenes -- Outtakes -- Slap Montage
What the heck is a 'Slap Montage?' And being that this movie centers around the porn industry, do I even want to know?
OK, Paramount, listen up. This is the kind of stuff we want to see in the DVD extras:
--Interview with Luke Wilson --Movie Commentary with Luke Wilson --Interview with brothers Owen Wilson and THE Sexy Beast about Luke Wilson --'Day on the Set with Luke Wilson' documentary --'At Home with Luke Wilson' photo montage by Laura Wilson --'My Life with Luke - The Inside Poop' graphic novel as drawn by Luke's crazy Australian Cattle Dog
Yea, we need more Luke on the bonus material. Get on that, Paramount Bonus Materials Team!
