Gamers The Movie Ranked #75 on IMDB MOVIEmeters

I can’t believe it, I woke up this morning and I have exactly 511 emails, mostly from media and movie stars. Entertainment Tonight and the Hollywood Reporter both want exclusive interviews to talk about what some folks are calling the most dramatic jump of one film in IMDB’s History, from a ranking of 6,063 on May 11th to number 75 on May 18th.
I’m leaning more towards Entertainment Tonight since my mom did give me the middle name Christopher “Entertainer” Folino, I’ve never revealed that before until today’s blog, I felt it was it too much pressure.” But, now, since Gamers is ranked 75, I can embrace my middle name with gusto!
 
So, I received emails from my new friend Charlie who writes.
“Chris, Congrats, let’s grab lunch, I can’t believe your movie ranked ahead of my hit TV show by 2 MovieMeter points, this pisses me off almost as much as my x-wife! Just joking, all the best to you and may my X go to die being donkey punched” -Charlie
 
Yes, being ranked number 75 is amazing. By the way Monterey Media, our fine distribution company, Gamers has just set a record for your company that the little Eye of Dolphin and that Dali Lame dude couldn’t give you. A movie ranked 75 on IMDB!
 
It’s better than being Wil Smith in “I am Legend” ranked number 83. The movie should be retitled “I am not so legend compared to Gamers”
 
Who would ever think they would live to see Gamers dethrown Battlestar Galactica (86), Family Guy (86), The Departed (89), and Friends (91). Well, Hell has frozen over my friends!
 
I think the phone call that will forever stay with me comes from the second greatest film director now, a new friend of mine, who I call Francis whose film “The Godfather” ranks just 95. I’m coming after you in the wine world next Francis! Look out!
 
And dear Meredith Zealy, lovely woman that you are, Hey, that little movie you made back in the day, that everyone loves, “The Notebook” is ranked 97! Hey Chick Flick…suck it!
 
And here’s another mind blowing fact, if Hollywood could gather all the top 17,265 hollywood stars together, and God forbid a metor would strike them down…guess, who would be then be the number one ranked STARmeter on IMDB, that’s right, then my midget epic “Little Miss Braveheart Sunshine” could finally get green lit!
 
Since Gamers is now ranked #75 on the IMDB MovieMeter, I don’t even have to drive, I have three studios who sent limos outside my home. Sure, most the studios are porn, but, who cares!
 
By the way people, other than myself have benefited greatly from Gamers being ranked so high
 
Kevin Sherwood is now ranked 5,525 on IMDB STARmeter. So maybe he miss that meteor accident and the rest of the cast of Gamers that day, I’ll share the spotlight!
 
Do I really have to go to work this week? You know I’m going to be such a dick at work, “Are those the kind of graphics you would make for the man whose movies ranked #75 on IMDB? I didn’t think so…do it again” And you can bet your ass I’ll be saying “I’m sorry, Chicken Picata may be what the other are eating in the lunch cafeteria, however, nobody here’s got a movie ranked #75 on IMDB, so go inside that God Damn kitchen and make me a fucking hot pocket!”
 
Yes, I will have no problem going to work or being me this week!

Sparks gets reviewed by Broken Frontier

“This book opens up firing on all cylinders and to be honest a book has not excited me as much as this one from the first issue. Not Proof, not Transhuman, heck I can’t think of anything that I genuinely enjoyed this much from the get go. Get it added to your pull list now, this is going to be something.”
