Second, did you see Nacho Libre? It wasn't exactly the best use of Jack Black that I've ever seen or anything.
True, the trailers look pretty funny for this movie, but they also look pretty insane as well. Maybe if Napoleon Dynamite (a movie that only got a national release after huge showings at limited releases) would have been followed up by a killer movie then the Hess's could have a national release granted, but it wasn't a great follow-up in Nacho Libre. I can see why dismal showings in NY and LA lead to a cancel of national release.
Oh and one more thing...hell with you sir, I don't live in NY or LA, I live in MO, and have lived in TX and IL, we know what quirk is, but we also understand that a movie studio isn't going to fork over the huge amount of money it takes to roll out a nationwide release of a movie that is showing very little promise in the areas where it should do the best. #jaredhess

Also, please do not group in hoodie-wearers with hipsters. Hipsters are self-serious assholes who take dumps on silver spoons and generally believe that theirs is the only true punk movement to have existed for the last twenty years.
Hoodie-wearers are smart, well-educated, self-deprecating people who like other thoughtful, funny people--and as it so happens, a lot of the best humor on TV and in movies during our prime years has come from people who fit that mold. The internet has thickened the fingerprint of our culture, and we communicate using a pool of common references. And yes, a lot of it is Arrested Development and Flight of the Conchords. But if you can't see the funny in either of those, you need therapy, because you probably have hedonophobia. #jaredhess
