Roadside Gets The Chair

Good things come to those who wait. Or those who have mad cash. But since the latter doesn't really apply to us, we'll focus on the former. After nearly a year of unhealthy obsession, mash notes and awkward flirting, Roadside Attractions has finally sealed the deal with The Duplass Brothers for theatrical distribution rights to the bros' hilarious road-comedy The Puffy Chair. Adding the trois to this menage will be the good folks over at Netflix who are partnering with Roadside on both the theatrical and DVD release. How all this will work is way above my pay grade. But with their usual, scarily-thorough understanding of the biz, indiewire recently took at a stab at explaining the ins and/or outs of the deal in this piece. The Hollywood Reporter and Variety also ran their own Puffy Chair stories, but apparently "The Man" won't allow you to read their precious missives without a password. So they shall go unlinked.
