Your iPod is black and has a cheap plastic feeling to it and weighs about as much as a granola bar?

With what hope in mind? To plug it into some random TV and play it during passing period?

You wanna know the best way to keep people visiting and, thereby, build up numbers? Contests. Plain and simple. Get some cool prizes and offer them up. No better way to get users than by bribing them. Dayv is already starting up his PSYCHO CONTESTS. Maybe that would be something to put him in charge of. Let him determine the contest and figure out how to determine the winners. Eventually, we may get enough notoriety that companies offer up their wares for contests.

Jay, can I be a scifi toy reviewer? Like MWCtoys and MWC's column on MoviePoopShoot? I'd love it.

PSYCHO PRIZE VAULT... I like that.

And as I mentioned to Dayv on the phone, we need to make contests a part of the redesigned OT.com. Nothing like good contests to keep users coming back. I'll throw it in Jay's thread as a suggestion.

In Ric's defense, he was saying 8 million dollars per person of the 59,162 confirmed signatures. No, Ric is not being ignorant. By those calculations, we're talking 4.73296 x 10 to the 11th power. If anything, he's being a bit overly optimistic of Gates' fortune. He ain't undershooting it in any way, shape, or form.

It's gotta be some paltry amount that won't seem like much to us, yet, when looked at cumulatively, winds up being a ton. Like the software that skims fractions of a cent in Office Space. Just make sure you put the decimal point in the right place.

Plus gain a ton of weight and have some latina woman posing as a Native American decline the Academy Award as a form of societal protest.

Matt Damon: Just take it from "It's a good course."
Ben Affleck: Oh, now you're the director.
Matt Damon: Hey shove it, Bounce-boy. Let's remember who talked who into doing this shit in the first place. Talking me into Dogma was one thing, but this...
Ben Affleck: Hey look, I'm sorry I dragged you away from whatever-gay-serial-killers-who-ride-horses-and-like-to-play-golf-touchy-feely-picture you're supposed to be doing this week.
Matt Damon: I take it you haven't seen Forces of Nature?
Ben Affleck: You're like a child. What've I been telling you? You gotta do the safe picture. Then you can do the art picture. But then sometimes you gotta do the payback picture because your friend says you owe him.
[They both take a beat and look at the camera]
Ben Affleck: And sometimes, you have to go back to the well.
Matt Damon: And sometimes, you do Reindeer Games.
Ben Affleck: See, that's just mean.

This won't have the expectation level that an Indy 4 would have. So people might wind up being pleasantly surprised.

Some good questions, indeed.

I did catch the Batman spot and I am still very much looking forward to this movie.

Wait a second. Move has all this shit happen to them and all they can think to do is put a curse on Philadelphia sports teams? That seems rather petty and misguided. Why not curse the law enforcement or the legal system or the state government? If all they could think to do was curse the teams, they deserve to burn. My god. Get your priorities straight.

Now the Billy Penn curse... that sounds pretty legit and interesting. However, you say the building went up in 1984 "a year after the last championship in Philly." Was this the Sixers or the Flyers? Because you said the Eagles and Phillies haven't won jack since 1980.

There was an FF cartoon? I never heard of it. I knew about Spidey's cartoon and actually watched it on occasion. But when a guy who knows comics like I do didn't even know there was an FF cartoon, well...

And yes, FF is obscure in terms of mass audience. My wife had never heard of them. One of her brothers had only heard of them in passing reference. Didn't know anything about them. And these are the people that the movie needs to be playing up to in order to make ticket sales. Comic book fans are still a relatively small audience. Not nearly enough to cover the production costs on a movie such as this. Elektra proved this. They were just hoping to cash in on the recognition of the role from the Daredevil movie and on Jennifer Garner's fame. That really worked, didn't it?
