So, I don't think I'm going crazy.

It seems that lately, whenever a commercial comes on for the THX 1138 DVD, at the end of the commercial it always says:

"Now playing in theaters.  Rated R"

Is this true?  I'm not losing my mind, right?  If it is, I would love to see it at the theater.

Anyone else notice this?

Don't know.

Just amazed that the obsessive Mr. Lucas didn't put hair on everyone and make the setting more colourful for the DVD release ;)

I have read several reviews that say that he did nothing intrusive to this one and that all the changes actually enhance the movie.  I too wouldn't mind seeing it in theater, it is considered a masterpiece by some.

It has gotten a limited theatrical rerelease, in NYC and maybe a few other big cities. Kind of standard practice for certain older films coming to DVD in new editions  that will have prestige or arthouse appeal. For example, the 1963 arthouse Italian film "The Leopard" starring Burt Lancaster has gotten the same treatment around the same time a deluxe DVD package of the film was released.

Yaddo,

I knew it certainly wasn't playing near me.  Thanks for the info.  I figured it'd be playing in the big cities.

Yes.  This is playing theatrically in the Boston area.

And it is, (was?) playing in a bigger city, some thirty miles to the east of me. Two reasons I didn't go see it on the big screen. I had already seen it, if only on television, and now that I'm getting older, I don't travel as much as I use to travel. If a film isn't playing in a city in which I live, I don't see it. Even if it is one of the better directorial  debuts, like "THX 1138."

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
