What a guy did to get his PS3 (as told on EBAY)!
Friend of mine just sent me a link to a forum where this story was posted!
“On Nov-17-06 at 23:22:28 PST, seller added the following information:
Please read the amazing story of how i got this ps3
i went out wednesday afternoon to the local walmart to start camping out. when i got there, there were already 12 people ther so i got in line being number 13. i talked around and found out the first 6 people there had been there since monday, total hardcore nerds all planning to keep them. bragging about how only they should get the system since theyve been there the longest. how they are so dedicated and how if you dont want to do the time, you shouldnt get a system. generally being complete assholes. good for them. we had a hours to pass so we became friends and played some cards and whatnot. the 6 guys in front kept to themselves and didnt associate with the rest of us. we were cool with each other leaving the line to get food, bathroom, smoke, etc since we all knew each other and as long as they were back in 30 minutes. i was about to leave to go buy some KFC for a good number of us and when i stepped out of line, one of the nerds shouted that if i left, i would lose my spot. the other guys told him that they were vouching for me and that i was just getting food but those 6 assholes didnt care. they said i leave, i lose my spot and that was the rules and they would call the manager (they had his number) to come out and enforce it. i said whatever and stayed in line.
a few hours later, the manager came out and told everyone that there were only going to be SEVEN available. they have them in their store and theyre not getting anymore. he told the people after # 7 they should leave if they wanted to not waste their time. me being number 13 should have left but i didnt, i wanted to stick around for a little bit more. everyone else left except me and the 7 other people that were getting it for sure. so the day goes on and i try to make friends with the nerds. i play mario kart on the ds with them and talk to them about the games they were getting. about an hour or 2 later, i tell im gonnna head home since im 8 in line and theres only 7 ps3s. one of them made some stupid joke about if i leave the line then i aint getting back in!! har har. so as im about to leave, i tell them im going to the vons next door and if any of them wanted any food or coffee and id bring it back to them. one of them said yea and all the rest like sheep followed and said yes too. they were gonna give me money but i told them it was on me since theyve been out here since monday. the 7th guy in line wanted some food and coffee and i told him id buy some for him also.
so i go to vons and buy 8 coffees, some food, and some x-lax laxatives. i bring it to my car and put some laxatives in 6 of the coffees and seperate them from mine and #7s. i pull back to walmart and bring all the drinks and food upfront. i give #7 his stuff and then the coffees with laxatives to the 6 nerds annd wish them good luck and go back to my car. i park it around the corner so i can still see them.
about 30 minutes later, #2 and 3 in line get up and it seemed like they were yelling to the other nerds. they both ran into walmart. seconds later (i guess all nerds have the same biology) #5 gets up and runs across the parking lot and into the trees and bushes somewhere. #1 is scrounging for this portapotty type thing he’d brought with him but he is squirting everywhere and all over his pants and their sleeping bags. he runs into walmart. at this time, i start my car and drive back to the walmart to claim my spot in line. when i get there #4 and 6 are gone but i dont know where. #7 is laughing his ass off so hard and i just smile at him. i call up 5 of the other people that i had made friends with that were in line with me ( i had their phone numbers cause i was gonne buy to food for everyone) and told them to get back to the walmart ASAP and get in line. Meanwhile, me and #7 threw all their shit into the parking lot and i claimed my spot as #1, him as #2. 4 and the people i had called arrived and got in line just as 1 of the nerds came running back and got #7. he started yelling saying they need their spots back. we all told them to fuck off, out of spot, out of line. it was all of us against him so he didnt say shit. the nerds came back and tried to start some shit but we just laughed, we told them it was their rule and to go fuck themselves and clean the shit off their pants. the called security and security came. security man was like WTF is that fuckin smell and looked at the nerds with shit all of them and kicked them off the grounds screaming LMAO. so that is how i got my ps3.”
i can only pray such a great story actually happened.. =)

Lauren Shuler Donner on Wolverine, Constantine, Magneto and X-Men!
During the press day for Warner Bros. Unaccompanied Minors, Lauren Shuler Donner sat down to talk with the press about the film. Of course, we couldn’t resist asking her about the highly anticipated sequels and projects she has in the works!
So, although there were other journalists in the room, my job was to get as much information as possible on Wolverine, Constantine, X-Men, Cirque Du Freak and Magneto! You can check what she had to say below…you’ll never guess who she says she still has in mind for Gambit!
IESB: Whats the superhero update?
LSD: Well, we’re going to do Wolverine, I hope in the fall and we’re out to a director, now, we have a good script. And I think we’re going to do Young Magneto, we have a really great script, we have a director that is interested and he’ll do a rewrite on the script. But, it’s young Magneto and it’s a young Xavier. Not “kid young,” but you know, when Magneto got through the Holocaust and when he, Erik Lehnsherr, became “Magneto.”
IESB: There’s been talk and we recently asked Hugh about this, regarding Bryan Singer saying he had been offered to direct Wolverine, but I guess there is a schedule conflict regarding Man of Steel, is there still a possibility Bryan could still do Wolverine?
LSD: I would love it. We would love nothing more than to have Bryan do Wolverine, but Bryan is developing the sequel to Superman so I don’t know, it depends on scheduling, but nothing would please all of us more.
IESB: Hugh also said that he was going to do Baz’s [Lurhman] film, and then he wants four months to really bulk up and get in as best shape as possible. He was thinking January or February of 08…
LSD: Yes, I know, he is thinking that, we’re thinking Fall. Sorry Hugh! [laughter]
IESB: Do you think there is a way that maybe for a whole year we could have several X-Men sequels or spin offs to carry us through?
LSD: Yes, we could, you know, yes we could and there’s some other ideas that we are going to be delving into, but it’s often availability of actor, availability of director and weather conditions, so you don’t always have that luxury. And most importantly, the release date…what else is coming out…what other comic book movies are we going against? So we always set our release dates before we ever start filming those movies.
IESB: Going back to the original X-Men, what kind of life for the franchise did you envision?
LSD: In our wildest dreams we wanted it to be a franchise. We wanted it to be able to spin-off…there’s 40 years of comics but I’lll tell you because we never previewed it, there was a day when Bryan [Singer], myself, our editor and, I think Tom Rothman was in the room, and we all looked at each other and said, “We’ll never work again.” Because, we didn’t know what we had.
IESB: Rothman recently said though The Last Stand was the last of that group of X-Men, I asked him, well we never saw Gambit, we never saw a lot of these great heroes, future ensemble films, young mutants or anything, what’s in the pipeline for this franchise?
LSD: I can’t say…[laughter]
IESB: Will we ever see Gambit?
LSD: Probably, you know, the reason we didn’t use Gambit was because in a sense his persona is a bit like Wolverine in that he’s got attitude and his power is not quite as exciting as the others. That’s why we went to Nightcrawler on 2 because he looked different than everybody else and he had a great power. So yes, I think we would weave Gambit within our story, it wouldn’t be “The Gambit Movie.” I mean, I love him and remember in “Lost” the guy, what’s his name, there was a guy in there that was the perfect Gambit, the guy with the straight hair, good-looking, the bad boy, Sawyer, Sawyer [Josh Holloway]. (A lot of Lost forums have been buzzing about this casting rumor for some time).
IESB: What is Cirque Du Freak?
LSD: It’s series of 12 books, in England, that are hugely popular, and they’re in the vein of Harry Potter in that young boys and girls love them, but, it’s about a kid who, Cirque Du Freak is a freak show that comes to town and through this series of events, he becomes a vampire’s assistant. Which is sort of like a half vampire, so he has half the powers, half the speed and he’ll age half as much and his best friend, it turns out, also becomes…there’s a war between the good vampires and the bad vampires, his best friend becomes head of the bad vampires and ultimately the 12 books lead to a huge war between the two of them.
IESB: How far are you along on that?
LSD: We’re in the first, we’ll start the first one, Brian Helgeland wrote the script, and we brought in Paul White to direct it, Paul is doing his rewrite, we used the first three books, there’ll be four movies, each movie is a combination of three books.
IESB: Are you retaining the English setting?
LSD: No, we’re going to set it in America. It works just as well.
IESB: What age is that appropriate for? It sounds like it’s a bit more intense than Potter.
LSD: It is more intense than Potter, it’ll still be PG-13 but you know, X-Men was PG-13 and we went pretty far. So, it’ll go that far.
IESB: What studio?
LSD: Universal
IESB: Are we ever going to see a sequel to Constantine?
LSD: Yes, you might, you might.
IESB: WIth Keanu?
LSD: Yes, with Keanu [Reeves]. We have been working with a team of writers to come up with a story and yeah, you will.
IESB: When we interviewed Hugh Jackman, he talked about how the Wolverine script was out to directors. And, you can only go out to one A list director at a time.
LSD: Such a pain. [laughter]
IESB:Any, how long can you give, what’s the window you give?
LSD: Interesting that you say that, because I am just about ready to say, here’s the problem, our movie is out to a director that is filming. Understandably, he cannot take the time to read the script because he’s filming, but he wants to, he has expressed a desire to make the movie and we very much want him to, so you tend to want to wait for that, you know.
Michael Aguilar (Unaccompanied Minors Producer): In my experience has been, if you are out to somebody exclusively, you can expect an answer within a couple weeks, you don’t always have to go out exclusively, you know, we have projects that are out to several people that everyone would consider A list, and they’re reading it, the agents often want it exclusive for them, but you can say no.
LSD: I am about to say to his agent, because of his circumstance, we are going to go out to other people. We hope he does it but…
IESB: How about Dick Donner? [laughter]
LSD: Listen, nothing would make me happier, I would then step back because I don’t produce him anymore, but I don’t think he, you know, he feels he’s done his comic book movie. In fact, he’s just recut Superman II which is unbelievable you guys must go out and get that DVD. It’s really, really good. And then send ten dollars because he doesn’t get any points on it. [laughter]
IESB: Obviously, Superman II was made before you got involved with him, what do you think of the new cut?
LSD: I am so excited, I saw it, he screened it, it’s so good. I remember seeing Superman II and thinking it was really stupid. And then I saw his, and oh my God, it’s just so good. Margot [Kidder] and Chris [Reeve} are so, so good. It's so much Dick's personality up there. It's just great.
IESB: What can we look forward to in the Constantine sequel?
LSD: We are really going to go for it this time. The area that we found is great...it's really scary, it's good…
IESB: Taking it to London?
LSD: No...another country though, you're right, it's outside of America.
IESB: Same director?
LSD: No, different director, but Francis [Lawrence] will produce it with us. We will try to maintain his vision.
IESB: He [Fraces Lawrence] wouldn’t be being asked for Wolverine?
LSD: Yes, we would love him for Wolverine but he won’t be available.
So there you have it, straight from the proverbial horses mouth! And also, on a side note, we were talking to Gilbert Adler the other night, producer of Superman Returns, we asked him about the start date for prep on the sequel. He said they were looking at January or February of 2008 rather than September of ‘07 as previously reported. So, if Wolverine starts in the Fall will Bryan Singer be able to schedule it in? We can only hope!
Check back later today, we will be posting our exclusive one on one interview we had with Lauren Shuler Donner following the preceeding interview where we went more in depth on these topics. Plus, we will be posting our exclusive video interview with Superman Returns producer Gil Adler.
Stay tuned!
