has anyone seen the trailers for this one? It's supposed to be another
dark slice of life from Britain about a bunch of gen xers who get together
to make a horror movie and drop acid.

Well, I haven't seen the trailer but I've seen the movie (at the fifth Stockholm
International Film Festival).

It's directed by Anna Campion (sister of the famous moviemaker Jane Campion) and
she says that Loaded is about "TV-Thatcher-Children" , as everyone else says:
Generation-X kids.

Yes, you can say it's about "a bunch of gen xers who get together to make a
horror movie and drop acid" but these "gen-xers" seems a little bit more
intellectual than ordinary US generation-X kids and more sophisticated. And
they are to make this movie at a house in the country over a weekend. This makes
a good ground for (what I think is) a very good movie experience. It's the first
real movie (internationally) that tells a story about the European generation-X
kids.

I don't live in the US so I don't know if it's a trailer for a cinema- or video-
release. If it's a cinemarelease I'm very suprised that I've seen a movie (in
1994) and it takes two years before it comes to the US. So I want to know just
that: is it released for the cinema or is it coming on video/TV?

It's just about to open theatrically in the U.S. (12 April in New York,
at any rate). It frequently takes a year or two for movies made outside
the U.S. to find a distributor here...and, of course, most never find
one at all. Furthermore, it's being released by Miramax, so who knows
how long Harvey Weinstein spent alone with an international release
print and a big pair of scissors?
