FRIGHTENERS - PART2?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
- Submitted by Gab

According to the website CanMag.com PJ wants to make a SEQUEL to THE FRIGHTENERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That´s what CanMag.com wrote:

"According to Jackson, he’s hoping the DVD sells ´in droves´ because he’d love to do a sequel. He said that DVD sales are really what it’s all about these days – and if this new version makes a hefty sum on DVD, he’ll try and convince Universal to take a chance on another ´Frighteners´. He said he’d love to have Michael J.Fox back – if even only for a small role."

That´s what I call good news...jeeezzzz...yes! Sorry, folks...I am too excited to write more about it now! If we have more news on it we will inform you immediatly!

Monkeying around for King Kong
- Submitted by Lewman

Just found this cool bit of news for the NZ post King Kong stamp launch! Sounded like a lot of fun. I bet Reno could have roared 500db louder than anyone else though ;)



Lunchtime shoppers in Wellington, New Zealand, were treated to a public display of chest beating and King Kong-like roaring recently, as part of a competition organised by Post to promote King Kong stamps and collectables.

Radio station 91ZM broadcast live from next to a crushed car, inviting passers-by to enter the competition called “King Kong Krush”. Participants had to roar like King Kong for the chance to win the major prize of $500 or one of two $100 runners-up prizes.



One participant got right in the mood, scaling a traffic light to beat his chest and roar from atop his own Empire State building.

Large Kong-like footprints on the pavement directed shoppers and those distracted by the antics into a nearby PostShop so they could purchase their King Kong stamps and collectables.
