About Me

My photo
Springfield, Missouri, United States
I’m in my mid-30s and still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. Most of my interests do not exactly come with a reasonable expectation of financial success, things such as artwork and fiction writing. I’ve been married to a delightful, attractive woman for five years, and, thankfully, neither of us wants to have children, so we can look forward to adult vacations, sleeping late, and disposable income. We do have two dogs, two chinchillas, a gerbil, and three chickens. Only the chickens seem to be pulling their weight vis-à-vis contributions to the household other than excrement.

Clonus Island II

11/10/06


I was hoping to post the follow-up review of The Island today, but alas I have yet to finish it, so it might be tomorrow before it's up; I know you're waiting with baited breath. But as an appetizer, I offer this curiousity.

When I checked my email today I found the following:

Subject: Good Job

It was over 400 times the budget.














Needless to say I was somewhat surprised that less than a day after I’d posted Clonus Island, the director of Clonus had apparently contacted me to correct my math on the budget of the two films. Either that or someone is messing with me. I really have no idea how he stumbled across this post, unless, like me, Mr. Fiveson spends ridiculous amounts of time Googling his own name.

Still, I thought that was pretty cool. Thanks for the correction, Robert.
