There's no sign of a distributor picking up the film, hence no theatrical or DVD release in sight. I gotta say "Nilsson Schmilsson" and "Son Of Schmilsson" are stone cold classics, too.

I saw it at a theater here in L.A. a couple of summers ago. @ Szabe – I assumed it was on DVD by now. I saw it at a theater here in L.A. a couple of summers ago.

I can see what Bird is getting at here, and I suppose the stilted, self-healing meter and swirling psycha-sonic approach serve the original premise well. But I must admit I much prefer the more melodic versions from both the Nickel Creek-slash-Glen Phillips collaboration <a href="http://coverlaydown.com/2009/09/glen-phillips-covers-huey-lewis-van-morrison-the-beatles-bjork-gillian-welch-more-plus-new-and-old-collaborative-covers-with-sean-and-sara-watkins/" rel="nofollow">Mutual Admiration Society</a> and the version by The Jellyfish from Nilsson tribute album <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Love-Harry-Everybody-Sings-Nilsson/dp/B000000FPE" rel="nofollow">For the Love of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson</a>. Hope the rest of the album here proves more effective. Hmm.
