It's About Time!

The films for Roger Ebert's film festival have been announced, and I have to say that I am disappointed. Bad Santa is the last Terry Zwigoff film I would have chosen. I saw it for the first time last Christmas and thought it was just ok, with a horrible ending that was not true to the rest of the film. How is it overlooked, anyway? It made $60 million in theaters (very good for an R rated comedy) and probably a lot in DVD sales. I would loved to have seen Crumb or Ghost World again instead of this lessor Zwigoff effort. Is it possible that they were unable to obtain a print for those last two films, with Bad Santa being a last second substition?
