things that make no sense, volume two

I just learned that the release date for the next Harry Potter movie in Australia is September 6th. I'm not an avid fan of the Harry Potter movies, but one of the things about the internet is that you often end up on pages you care very little about, and read them anyway.

The point of all this is that Australia is, as usual, one of the last countries to get a film. In fact, it is the last country, and by a long way. The US release date is July 13th. That's three months before we get it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: staggering release dates makes no sense. Especially not by three months.

Reminds me of the time I borrowed an old Cosmo Girl from a friend and saw an ad for Legally Blonde2 that said "Coming soon" with the date for the next week. heh
