Snakes on a few Corrections/Updates
July 15th, 2006 at 7:49 am

Guess who’s drowning in content? I am, I am.

Over the last week or two I’ve been sent more emails on more topics than I could efficiently deal with. In general, I don’t like to post more than three things a day as I think it rushes content off the main page too quickly (not everyone comes here every day). Sometimes things come in that I don’t post because there isn’t, in my mind, room. Additionally, I’ve been busy and that’s allowed me to fall behind in responding to emails or sorthing things efficiently. Here’s a few items that came in during the past week that corrected/updated recent posts:

About the Snakes on a Plane soundtrack album: I commented on the fact that the Tagworld winners didn’t appear on the track listing. New Line has pointed out that the CD has “ECD” (read: computer) content and the winners will appear in that section. I think that means these tracks will only play on your computer (not on a standalone CD player). A second email from an independent source at New Line said the songs appear as “special hidden tracks.” The first email also reminded me that the “song” (I assume they meants songs) would appear in the film as well.

About the Blanks on a Blank contest: Henri Mazza, creative director at the Alamo Drafthouse (host of the contest), wanted to point out that they have announced prizes:

I saw that back when you first posted about our little Blanks On A Blank contest we caught a lot of flak for charging an entry fee. I know, I know - money sucks. But the best post was the person who thought that the grand prize for the winner would be to get their $40 back. Well, it took us a while to get lined up, but we actually got the real prize all ready to announce:

Airfare, Hotel, and Two Tickets to the World Premiere of SNAKES ON A PLANE.

So, yeah. We think that’s pretty cool. And we’re looking forward to seeing some completed movies…

Second place winners will receive $500, third place winners will receive $250.

That’s it for corrections and updates. I’m sitting on a big pile of content, I’ll see what I can do to start putting it out there.

Ha! I wrote the “best” post! I’m awesome!
Actually, that makes it sound like it would have been worth it to enter the contest, but now I’m not sure I’ll have time, since I’m leaving to CA (to go see Sammy J at Comic-Con!) in less than a week. Bummer. I could probably get my cousins to make the movie with me while I’m in San Diego, but I’m not sure I could get them to cough up $8 each. Or is that $40 PER person? Than I really wouldn’t be able to talk them into it…

Yeah, can’t say that Blanks on a Blank sounds too shabby now.

It wouldn’t work out for me, anyway. The first prize is just TWO plane tickets to Las Angeles, as apposed to the FIVE I’d need to get all of my cousins even interested in paying a fee to enter.

Hi, I’m the dude that wrote the lyrics for the Captain Ahab song “Snakes on the Brain” and the one that runs the label that puts out the Captain Ahab releases, Deathbomb Arc.
I haven’t gotten word myself yet that the tagworld winners will be on the audio portion as “secret tracks”, but we were told it would be as an mp3 in the enhanced content.
Since we’d like the song to be available as audio that can play on a normal cd player, we are releasing a cd of the song, with some remixes and a bunch of bsides, AND a quicktime file of the video Lawrence Klein has made for “Snakes on the Brain”. This will come out Aug 18th. More info at: http://deathbombarc.com/releases/dba070.htm
thanks!
