I note an interesting not-quite juxtaposition: on the front of the box is a notice (printed onto both the cardboard outer container and the slick of the Blu-ray box, so they appear not to be anticipating any change). This says: &#8216;Not for sale, distribution or exhibition in Victoria&#8217;. On the back is the logo of Film Victoria, which presumably part funded the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The news that I&#8217;m sure that we&#8217;ve all been waiting for: Donnie Darko!
