Jake's Booty pushed back, contest still on schedule
We've received word that Jake's Booty Call won't be being released on DVD anytime soon. That's marketing dollars wasted by the studio because we've already promised you guys some T-Shirts and posters, and we're gonna deliver!
The contest for some booty will end tomorrow at midnight, so go enter now. It's our usual entry criteria.. you just have to be able to type your email address into a form and click a button. We don't spam, never have, never will. Hell we don't even keep your email address on file past the end of the contest (unless you win of course.)
Don't believe us? Then sign up for a free account with hotmail or something similar and enter using that. We don't give a flying fig either way.
We're going to try something new and see what happens. Instead of doing large contests all the time where people have a month or so to enter, we're going to do a few short ones.
For this inaugural "quick contest" the prize is The West Wing Season 6 on DVD. The rules are simple.. the contest is open until there are 10 entries, at which time one of the entrants will be chosen at random as the winner. So basically the first 10 people to read this post who would like a free DVD have a 1 in 10 shot at winning.
I will announce in the comments for this post when 10 entries have been received so check there if you want to make sure the contest is still running.
He's not Wesley Snipes, but the trailer actually makes this show look pretty good. Course, that's just a trailer so take it with a grain of salt (or vial of holy water.)
They are trying real hard to make us think this will be one heck of a violent and sexy show, and it is on cable so they can do whatever they want. But how far will they push it? Girls kissing? Check. Sexy dress? Check. Guy rubbing girls chest? Check. Guns, explosions, cars? Check.
But will they push it as far as FX does on The Shield?
I certainly hope so and will be tuning in next month to find out.
The British version of the MPAA threatened to change the rating of The Da Vinci Code so that nobody under 15 could see the movie without a parent (it was set at 12) because they thought the soundtrack was too scary for children. That's right, the soundtrack.
We've cranked up the contest page again and this time we're giving away three posters and five T-Shirts from the latest DVD from National Lampoon.
Jake's Booty Call is an animated movie about a dude who really wants to score and enlists the help of a friend to help him out. We should be getting a copy for review shortly, but no need to wait on that before entering the contest. You know you want a free T-Shirt regardless of what it says. You bunch of swag-whores.
If you're jonesing for some X-Men action then head over to Dell's special x-men site tonight at Midnight for an exclusive look at 7 minutes worth of footage.
There's also doing a contest for one of their $10,000 gaming rigs, you can get the details there. I'm guessing your odds of winning that PC are a bit worse than our typical contest. :)
Jake's is animated, but it's certainly not for kids. We'll have a review up for it soon but from what we've seen so far we think it could be rather amusing.
JC has checked in with his review of Poseidon, and if he's correct then this movie is gonna be a disaster for Warner Bros. the box office. He actually sat through the TV remake of this movie last year, and he preferred it over this latest big screen production.
But then, people like movies with nature gone amuck, so maybe.. just maybe Poseidon will make enough money in it's opening weekend to keep WB from pitching a fit. We're not counting on it though.
Oh, and we can go ahead and guess that the studio will blame "poor word of mouth" from "internet reviewers" for it's bad showing. Heaven forbid a movie do badly because it sucked!
We all like to make fun of Tom "I'm not Gay" Cruise, and face it, he makes himself a really easy target. But when it comes to movie making he's still the man.
Take the stunts in Mission Impossible III for example, did you know that he did many of his own stunts? He jumps off buildings, let's 18-wheelers slide over him and more. In one scene he rolls off a 60-ft wall on a tether and ends up inches off the ground. That's not a stunt man, that's really Tom taking the plunge.
That scene in the previews where he's thrown up against the car? He did that several times to get the take right, and he hit the door hard enough to dent it.
Or, maybe none of this is true and it's all part of the marketing of Tom. I look forward to the behind the scenes on the DVD to see if we can have some visual proof of what he did on the set. Until then, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
MI:3 Setting the media world on fire... and it isn't even out yet.
Take this with a grain of gun powder but it seems there might be an opening or 2 over at Paramount in the ad department after this little SNAFU.
A news stand in Santa Clarita, CA was blown up by a LA arson squad Friday when a device on the rack, intended to play the theme from Mission: Impossible when the door was opened, dislodged and fell onto the pile of newspapers, leading a passerby to suspect that it was a bomb and call police. The LA Times said that about 4,500 news stands had been outfitted with the musical devices as part of a marketing campaign between the newspaper and Paramount. However, the Associated Press reported Sunday that some of the red devices, exposing protruding wires, had become dislodged and had alarmed customers.
