That being said, we’ve gotten a lot of questions about the music in the movie, people asking who sings a certain song or what song is being used for what scene, because they apparently did like the music.

This kinda makes me laugh: Do people not know that in every single movie ever made, all the songs and singers are in the end credits?

I guess not, because I’ve gotten enough inquiries to put this post up. Here is every song in the movie, in the order they occur in the movie:

If you notice, there is one song on there you won’t be able to find anywhere else: “One in a Grillion” performed by Paul Wall, and written by Nils Parker and me.

Well, since Nils and I own the publishing, and Paul owns the performance rights, I just realized that, unlike the movie or stuff like that, we can actually release this song for free under a creative commons license. So here you go, the Grillionaire/Paul Wall Song from the movie (if that link doesn’t work, try here). If you like it, feel free to send it to other people or post it places or whatever.

But as you listen to the song, remember that this thing was written as if sung by the rapper Grillionaire, and is supposed be a parody of rappers. The lyrics are intended to be ridiculous, though it’s kinda hard to parody rappers at this point; they do a good enough job on their own. If you can’t get them from the song, they are below:

“One in a Grillion”
performed by Paul Wall, written by Nils Parker and Tucker Max

I don’t touch nothing smaller than 20s yo,
cuz George Washingtons smell like poverty, ho
I got more Franklins than the mint, more Jacksons than Joe
The only coins that I like are the ones made out of gold

Like the chocolates in foil and that bitch that’s really old.
I don’t never give no skrilla to a ho
I got kimodo skin interior and ice on my whip,
I don’t give none of my skrilla to a bitch.

The Escalade dome light’s a danglin’ fixture
And the screens in the headrests got picture in picture
With mink on the seats and gator in the dash
It’s a luxury turducken stuffed full of cash.

I got…

Ice whips hoes money
Ice whips hoes money
Ice whips hoes money
Ice whips hoes money

They my four food groups and go down just like honey.
If you ever had a taste you’d know how I’m feelin’
But you don’t cuz I’m one in a grillion.

We wrote several more verses with the intent of doing a whole legit song, but we didn’t have the time or money to get it done the way we needed to. And we did a whole other song that I think is even better, but we’re keeping those in the pocket, just in case the DVD sales keep doing as well as they are, and we end up doing a sequel.

The good news is that the DVD is selling great already. Amazon sold out of their stock almost immediately, and had to be over-nighted a huge second shipment (they are back ordered right now, but should be out of that soon). I have also had fans email me about a ton of places that were sold out on the first day. And apparently, the Netflix que for the movie is so long, it lists it as “Very long wait.”

But that’s also the bad news. I have had a ton of people email me pissed off because they had to go to two or three stores to find a place that hadn’t sold out, or they didn’t get the pre-ordered DVD from Amazon the first day because they were oversold.

Look, I am sorry about this, but it is not my fault, and there is nothing I can do about it. I had nothing to do with the distribution or advertising for the DVD; that is all Fox. The things that went right and went wrong are on them. Clearly I want everyone to be able to get a copy of the DVD, but sometimes things sell out or go wrong in the short term. In the long term, I am sure they’ll get as many DVD’s into the stores as people want to buy.

-Also, a few people have emailed me saying their DVD’s are skipping parts. This happens sometimes with DVD’s; just take them back and exchange them for one that works. Again, this sucks and I’m sorry, but there is nothing I can do besides tell you to exchange it.

-If you bought or rented the DVD, I would like to thank you. For real; it means a lot to everyone who worked on the movie that so many people have liked it. We may not have promoted and marketed the movie correctly, but we made a great movie, and so far, the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

-And if you liked the movie so much that you want to see sequels, then tell your friends about the movie. We probably need to sell about two million DVD’s before we start to seriously consider a sequel. I think we can definitely do that–my book has already sold 1.2 million copies, and DVD’s usually sell WAY more than books–but we need your help. If you like it, talk about it and tell your friends. The more it sells and rents, the more likely we are to make a sequel.

-I talked about this earlier, about how I thought it would be funny and kinda cool to put my phone number in the movie. I knew it would get out that its in there and some people would call me or text me, but I truly had no idea the result would be like this. At this point, I have thousands of voicemails in my Google Voice account, and so many texts they routinely crash my iphone and are taking up more storage on my iphone than the pictures on it. This is comical. The phone is almost unusable now because of how many incoming texts and calls it’s getting. Hopefully it levels off.

-And yes–if you text or call that number, and get a response, it’s actually me. I do have an assistant, but I would never farm out interactions with my fans to anyone else. If you ever get an email or a text back from me, or I answer the phone, it’s me. I don’t guarantee I will respond to anything–I jut don’t have the time to do that–but if you do get a response, it’s actually me.

-And just an FYI: I finalized the book release schedule for my next book, Assholes Finish First, with Simon and Schuster, and they will be putting out a press release tomorrow or Friday. As soon as they do, I will put up a big post about the next book, the accompanying tour, and various other things.

-The actual physical DVD is already on shelves in parts of Canada

-It’s out on Ninjavideo

-It’s out on the Playstation network

-You can watch it now with Amazon’s “Buy and watch now,” in some parts of the US and with certain ISP’s.

-It’s shipping on Netflix

-And yes, like all movies, this movie is available on Torrent sites, which means you can pirate it.

Instead of pretending the piracy elephant in room doesn’t exist, I will address my thoughts on it. Now, these are my thoughts and my thoughts alone, and do not represent the views of Darko, Fox, or probably anyone else working on this movie:

OF COURSE I want us to sell as many DVD’s as possible for numerous reasons, the first being that if we sell millions of DVD’s, then we get into profitability, and that means we start getting checks. Which is nice. But what’s even more important to me than the money, is that selling millions of DVD’s means two things: 1. People like the movie, and 2. we will be able to make sequels.

We did poorly theatrically because we failed at marketing and distribution. Across the board we failed–our strategy was a flawed one, and we didn’t execute as well as was necessary, and many of our marketing techniques and assumptions were wrong, and flat out, we did not have anywhere near enough money to execute the strategy we tried to execute. Granted, even though we were trying something that is for all intents and purposes impossible in this day and age–a truly independent distribution–I still thought we could pull it off. Maybe if everything had be done perfectly we could have, but that is not what happened.

But none of that means anything about the movie itself. The movie itself is a very different thing than the distribution and marketing, and I think we made a great movie, something that can be like a Donnie Darko or Boondock Saints or Office Space and find an audience and commercial success after it’s theatrical run.

But in order to do that, this movie needs to be seen by as many people as possible. If that means buying the DVD, if that means renting it from Netflix, if that means you buy it used, if that means you watch a friends copy, whatever–I want as many people as possible to watch the movie, however they have to watch it. I would prefer people pay, but I am not going to pretend that it’s not out there for free on the internet, because it is. And I am not going to pretend that some people aren’t going to download it, because they are, and if by downloading it for free and watching, then someone decides they like it and buy the DVD, that is awesome. Or by downloading it and watching it, someone loves it and tells 100 people, many of whom see it and buy it, that is great. If pirating means it gets seen by more people than would have otherwise seen it, then, well–I’m not going to be pissed about that, because I believe it will, in the end, sell more DVD’s and be more profitable for everyone involved.

There is plenty of precedent for this in movies, and one in my life too: My book started off pretty decently for a book, and on the back of my website fanbase, sold 70k copies in its first year. That is very solid for a book, but nothing spectacular. Four years later, I have now sold over 1 million books and the book has become a classic. That massive and exponential increase in sales happened not because I tried to control my content, but because of two things: 1. Positive word of mouth about the product, and 2. I gave away a ton of it at my website, so people could see if they liked it. I hope the movie can follow a similar trajectory, and if it does it partially because piracy helped people learn about it, well–I’ll take success however it comes.

Some other notes:

-When it drops, it should be out in pretty much any normal store that sells DVD’s; Target, Best Buy, Blockbuster, etc, etc, as well as of course online.

-No Blu-ray: There will be no Blu-Ray of this movie, at least not right now. If the DVD sells really well, then we will not only do a Blu-Ray, but we’ll add a commentary track with me and Nils (and maybe even the real SlingBlade, which would be funny as hell).

-Added value on the DVD: The DVD does have deleted scenes from the movie. I have to be honest, I haven’t even seen the deleted scenes as they are laid out on the DVD yet, but I have seen them all in the editing room, and like pretty much all deleted scenes–they are deleted for a reason.

-Easter Egg: You may remember this post about the big easter egg in the movie. Well, it’s still there, and it’s still my phone number. Now look, because of this I get SO MANY CALLS I don’t really answer calls from numbers that aren’t already programmed into my phone, but sometimes I do respond to texts. NOT ALWAYS, but if I am in the mood or bored, I will. So if you get a response, it’s from me.

-Some other things, unrelated to the movie:

1. I will have an update about my next book, Assholes Finish First, probably on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am in NYC right now meeting with my publisher to sort out final details.

2. Lots of cool things coming this year, the best way to find out about them for now is to follow me on Twitter. TuckerMax.com will be undergoing a big site re-design soon, but until then, Twitter, or even Facebook, are easiest.

-Canadian release is locked in for November 13th, and yes, as far as I know it’s still only Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.

-The UK release is still slated for January 1st, and again, I am hoping to get over there to do press. No additional info.

-The DVD comes out domestically in January, not sure of the exact date yet.

As far as personal travel plans, here are the things I have locked down:

-I’ll be in Austin, Texas to go to the UT/UCF game on November 7th. I was supposed to go to the Tech game when I was in Austin on the movie tour, but was too exhausted, but I got offered tickets to this game, so I’m going back and making up for earlier.

-I’ll be in Toronto on November 10th doing press for the movie.

-I’m going to be in Cancun from November 22nd through November 27th for the Cancun Challenge college basketball tournament. So excited to sit courtside and watch Kentucky torch a bunch of scrub teams.

-I’m going to be in Ireland the first week of February, and you won’t believe why. I am not say why I’m going yet, but it is ridiculous and awesome. I didn’t even believe the offer when I first got it, but once I realized it was legit, I was on it.

-Also planning a big trip to Brazil, and maybe Buenos Aires, later that month.

Now, as to the movie itself:

We are going to wrap up our domestic theatrical run with about 1.5 million in gross receipts. No question, that is way way less than anything I was hoping or predicting that the movie would do. In fact, it’s less than 10% of my bottom-basement prediction for what the movie would do. So this of course raises the question: How the fuck was I so far off in my predictions?

The movie has been out a month and we have all had a chance to soberly reflect on what happened and why I wasn’t just a little bit off, I was off by several orders of magnitude. To be that far off, there has to be some sort of major thing that went wrong, something so crucial that it’s nothing can make up for its absence.

It’s actually pretty clear what happened, and I was sitting in a bar with some people cycling through all the things we did right and wrong about two weeks ago, when something happened that crystallized the problem perfectly. This girl recognized me in the bar and came running up:

Girl: Oh my god you are Tucker Max! This is SO exciting! I am your biggest fan, your book is so awesome!
Tucker: Thank you, glad you liked it.
Girl: I mean, I have read it like 100 times and recommended it to all my friends, and now it’s like our bible! I can’t believe you are here! Can I get a picture?
Tucker: [getting awkward] Of course.
Friend: So, what’d you think about the movie?
Girl: Movie? What movie? There’s a movie of the book?
Tucker: Are you kidding?
Girl: When is it coming out? I am SO excited for it! I bet it’ll be great! Who is playing you?

My heart sank. I wanted to get pissed and snap at this girl, but she hadn’t done anything wrong. I mean, when someone who identifies themselves as a huge fan, who has read the book and passed it to their friends and self-identifies as this type of person, when the movie is IN THEATERS and they don’t even know there is a movie at all…that is a complete failure in the publicity and marketing of the movie.

It’s not like that was the first indication of the massive breakdown in marketing and publicity for the movie. The evidence for this is everywhere. I mean shit, we only spent a few  million dollars distributing the movie, were never in more than like 250 theaters, and never even cracked the 50% awareness barrier…AMONG MY OWN FANS! I don’t want to go through it, because it’ll just be depressing, but the failures in marketing were just…big. Unrecoverable.

If I had been either experienced enough or honest enough to look at and understand the evidence in front of me, it was obvious from an early point that this was going to happen. I could go on and on about the issues we had, and and now in hindsight, so many of them are so transparently clear and obvious it is annoying that we didn’t see them at the time. Part of it was a lack of experience, part was naive optimism, and part was straight up malfeasance by certain parties involved with the movie. There will come a time when Nils and I will clearly outline and describe what happened and why, but honestly, I don’t feel like doing it now, both for personal and political reasons. The fact is, the movie did poorly at the box office because we as a group failed at one of the most, if not he most, important aspect of making a successful movie: Marketing that movie.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that losing this battle does not mean the war is over or lost. Many many great movies that got no attention at the box office became classics by doing great on DVD, and there is no doubt in my mind that is what is going to happen with this movie. I’ve seen every reaction, read every email, seen every review, and talked to more people about this movie than anyone else. No one has been more on the ground and seen more actual audience reaction than me. I know what real people who have actually seen the movie think about it, and it’s going to do great, given enough time. The same thing happened with the book. I mean, my book only sold 70k copies it’s first year out, and those only to people who were already  fans of the website. Three years and 1+ million copies sold later, I am now a huge literary star. Movie studios may be evil and stupid, but the motherfuckers can do something I can’t do yet: Promote and market the fuck out of a movie.

But it’s OK. The fact still remains that we made a great movie, a movie that I am very proud of, and a movie that the vast majority of people who saw, loved. And I believe that it will stand the test of time and end up becoming a classic and sell for years, just like the book has. Doing poorly at the box office sucks right now, but in ten years when “I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell” is one of the best selling DVD’s of all time and spawned hugely successful sequels, etc, etc…well, I think everything will end up fine.

The UK distributor appears to be very much on the ball, and are already starting press for a January 1st release. Not only that, but it is going to be a 50+ screen release in England, which I am told is a lot. I hope to go over there for press, I haven’t been to England for years and I would love to spend some time with all you Limeys, who I will readily admit are best drinkers in the world.

I have NO INFORMATION on any other country. Believe me, I would love to tell all you Aussies and New Zealanders and Germans, etc, who keep emailing me something, but again, I have nothing to do with foreign releases. When I know something, I pass it on.

There are probably 50+ little easter eggs, but there is one BIG one. The movie has been out now for three weeks, and since a ton of people have asked about it, I’ll go ahead and spill it. If you’ve seen the movie you’ll know what I am talking about, and if not, go see it tonight and you can see for yourself:

When you say a phone number in a movie or TV show, the rule is that it must have a “555″ as the first three numbers–that prefix is non-dialable and reserved for TV or things like that. If you use a real number in a movie or TV show, you must actually own that real number or the person with that number can sue you and win.

In the jail scene, Dan makes collect calls to three numbers. Two of them have the “555″ prefix and are thus not real numbers. One does not. The first one he tries, the one that rings to Movie Tucker’s phone, is a real seven digit phone number.

It is my real phone number.

I am completely serious.

It’s not a phone that I got to put in the movie. It is the real phone number I have had for at least five years.

If you know me and have my number, go see the movie and you’ll hear it, right there on screen. If you don’t believe me, try it and watch what happens. Dial that number and it’ll ring to my real phone. I probably won’t answer since I usually don’t answer calls from numbers not stored in my phone, but at the very least, you’re going to get my voicemail.

If you still don’t believe me, watch the movie, put the number in your phone, and next time you meet me, pull out your phone and call that number. I’ll take my phone out of my pocket and show it you as it rings, with your number on it.

And no, I’m not changing that number now. It’s going to be my phone for the foreseeable future, no matter how poor of a decision this was.

–Canadian release: I am begging all of you Canadians: STOP ASKING ME WHEN IT’S COMING OUT IN CANADA. I DON’T KNOW!!! What I do know is that the distributor IS intending to release it in Canada, probably at the end of October. And they are most likely going to fly me into Toronto to do a day or two of press. But that’s all I know right now. The fucking SECOND I know anything I will tell you.

–Foreign release: I have even less an idea about foreign releases, those territories are determined on a case by case basis and not up to me either. Here is my position about seeing the movie overseas, a position which is mine alone and not endorsed by Darko Entertainment.

-Also:
Salt Lake City Screening is tonight
Screening starts at 7pm, Q&A afterwards

-The Vegas stop on Thursday has been canceled. I am so tired of being on the road, I actually uttered this sentence yesterday, “God I can’t wait to get back to LA.” I know.

Vegas stop is canceled. SLC is the last stop on the tour. I didn’t think I’d ever say this, but I am excited to get back to LA.

To help facilitate the spread of word of mouth about the movie, we FINALLY got these two clips from the movie approved and up. Late is better than never I guess.

This one is the guys at a bar near campus before they go on the road trip:

This one is Tucker alone at a bar after his friends get fed up with his narcissism:

And here is the redband trailer again, for those that haven’t seen it:

Last night in Nashville was awesome. Exhausting, because I signed shit and took pictures for over three hours, but it was a great crowd and a fun bar. I haven’t been in Nashville for years, since my high school girlfriend went to Vandy and I visited her, and I’d forgotten what a cool city Nashville is. Definitely going back soon.
