...Actually our local So. California Wal-Marts had DVD's of .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. set up with cardboard MEL GIBSON displays when it first came out, as did Circuit City and Best Buy TV Stores.

...Our local Target Stores were advertising its coming release to its stores featuring its release date on closed circuit TV Screens hoverng above their Video Departments.

...When the DVD/Video was released I only saw -1- National TV Commercial on TV and that was during NBC's ..'Tonight Show with JAY LENO'.., the Friday night of its DVD Release Week. Blockbuster Video had local TV Promotions for it as well. But there were no massive TV Promotions from Paramount Pictures like we've seen for other movie DVD releases.

...Thanks primarily to audience word of mouth recommendations, .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. remained in theaters in the USA for 3 solid months after it's initial theater release.

...This Movie touches Hearts ..quietly.

Every WalMart I go to, I ask if they have copies of "We Were Soldiers" and the few who have heard of the movie tell me that it hasn't yet been released. Admittedly, when it is not the Christmas season, I tend to avoid shopping, but my only point is that the upcoming debate will only serve to spread the news of this movie to another group of folks who may not know it exists.

FReegards...MUD

BTW...watch Rush weigh into the debate and you'll see the sales of the DVD and VHS shoot thru the roof!!
