The Tip-o-Meter scales new heights…

Thanks to Michael K., who has kicked in with our biggest donation yet.  If I was chagrined and sometimes even embarrassed by previous donations, I was down right mortified by this one.  Thanks, Michael!  (Again, not a contest, and I appreciate every red cent.  However, credit where credit is due.)

 I’ve already ordered some films I’ve wanted in the past and were too cheap to buy, mainly DVD-Rs.  Thanks to your collective generosity, I now have Dondi, Zabriskie Point, Boom! and The Blue Bird all hanging over my head like various Swords of Damocles.   Some of these are risky purchases, since I haven’t seen them and are relying on their reps as to their essential badness.  I’d hate to think I’ve wasted anyone’s money, though, so let’s hope these pan out.

I’ll be making further such purchases, and will splurge on various commercial offerings in November.  So thanks to everyone who has donated–and curse you all.  You bastards!!  I’ll be damning your eyes as I plow throw this junk. 

By the way, since I can’t believe anyone reads all the way through these things, my real plan is that as soon as I raise $500,000, I’m grabbing the money and fleeing to Brazil.  Adios in advance, suckers!

  • You should go to India instead, and offer your services to up-and-coming Bollywood superstars!

  • My doctor advised against it. He said my arches couldn’t take the constant dance numbers.

    If you flee to Brazil, you stay with me in Sao Paulo. There I will expose you to horrid Brazilian comedies and family-oriented fantasies that are more of an excuse to put a bunch of Brazilian pop culture icons (singers, actors, tv personalities and hosts) in one place at one time than to actually entertain people.
