Oscars
Yes, I know you already know the winners. I am not going to bore you with long analysis and articles. I just want to make a quick comment on the Best Picture win.
It was quite obvious that “Slumdog Millionaire” will take the most important awards home after it won the Golden Globes and the BAFTA awards. The Academy has once again not failed to choose the politically correct contender. Yes, India is a poor country, but giving the award to a Hollywood sugar-covered film will not change this.”The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is a better production in every single aspect and there is no reason to be robbed from its win. I am not a blind follower of Benjamin and I think the movie has its weaknesses, but giving it only the awards for makeup, special effects and art direction is a joke. Don’t think that I don’t like “Slumdog Millionaire”, on the contrary, I believe it’s a good film – just undeserving winner.
And while all the eyes are fixed on the Academy I have sold another word, which takes me just a bit closer to ever getting any kind of nomination (no, I am not talking about the Oscars).
Are you ready to go “extreme”?
Another two days go by; another two words are gone
“We absolutely love your website! Good luck on making your movie! We would love to purchase the word ads”. The message comes from a website that also has an interesting advertising concept, which makes their kind attitude even more valuable. Thank you guys!
The second word has not been sold, but reserved by me and myself. Myself told me that there is a word, which absolutely, under no conditions should be available for sale and I had to agree with them. Those guys do have a point. We will not reveal to you what’s the word, as it is not very hard to figure it out.
Do you think lack of sleep can cause any brain damage? We don’t think so.
Anyway, here is a statement that I would like to make. (Can you hear the loud trumpets in the air and the quickening rhythm of the drums?) I would like to invite the first 50 costumers to the pre-premier show of the film. All one thousand customers will also receive as a free gift the DVD of the film. It might not be much that I am offering, but I think it will be a nice way to thank them for their support.
OK, I am ending this entry before we say something stupid. I mean something more stupid.
Irish Luck & the Film
I have some excellent news today.
The company DTC Media from Ireland has purchased four words in a bulk for all their websites (including one currently in development). This certainly shows great trust in the good future of this website. Their choices are: ‘deal’, ‘jewelry’, ‘improve’ and ‘shop’. Thank you guys for your support!
Another interesting update for you is the button ‘the film’ that you can see on the website now. I have been working on this page in the last few days to give you some detailed information about the project, people have been asking for. It contains conceptual poster, location scouting photos, concept drawings and other info, so I think it’s worth checking out.
Today, along with all the positive feedback, I have received the first hate e-mail, which greatly amuses me. Why would you spend your time writing about something you don’t like to someone you don’t like is beyond me, but it probably comes to show the price of fame you have to pay.
