Actually, I picked up the Kate and Leopold soundtrack yesterday (i.e. Feb 22nd) at my local HMV here in Toronto, Canada. If it's available in Canada it must be available in the US...and quite possibly in other parts of the world as well.

OK - here's what I find odd.

The Kate and Leopold soundtrack won't even be in stores until Feb. 5. At least that's what I've read. By that time, the movie will only be in a few remaining theaters (and I'm sorry, it was a fairly forgettable movie, anyway). Who is going to buy a soundtrack from a movie that's already left the radar screen (except for a few crazy Sting fans. Where DO these people come from?!?!)

Have you ever seen a soundtrack and a movie be released so far apart?? Often, the soundtrack actually comes out before the movie. Kind of generates interest, duh.

Kate and Leopold opened Christmas week. By the time the soundtrack is available, it will have been 6 weeks later.

I just find it odd that Sting won for a song that 99.9% of the population hasn't heard. Oh well, another award for Mickey to use as a paperweight. And hell, Behind My Camel won a Grammy, and you know most people just fast forwarded through that on their cassette.

And....is it just me, or are romantic comedies not very romantic and not very funny lately??? Kate and Leopold, Serendipity, American Sweethearts, etc. All pretty lame. Last really good romantic comedy....Four Weddings and a Funeral (which DOES feature a Sting song for you purists out there.) 50 bonus points to the person who can name the Sting song on the soundtrack.
