Guys:

The most brilliant, majorly pregnant woman in the biz, Maria Pekurovskaya
at Universal, just came up with the most inspired TV spot I have ever seen.
The fact that she took some critic's douchebag dismissal of 'Smokin' Aces' and
turned it into something so supremely hip and NEVER BEFORE SEEN is a
minor marketing miracle.

CHECK IT OUT NOW, CLICK ON THE TOP LEFT VIDEO COLUMN.

And my thanks to that pasty, pretentious little egghead known
as A.O. (Tony) Scott, for providing us with that ad copy. By the way, using
A.O. as a kind of necessary nom de plume was wise, since using 'Tony' would
render you not only anonymous but COMPLETELY irrelevant.

We all know and love the real Tony Scott...and you ain't him.

Enjoy A.O.'s contribution though. You know when you say his name,
it sounds curiously like A-Hole. Intentional? Probably
not. Karmic? You bet your ass.

Guys:

Kirk asked some great questions in a recent message, so I'm inviting all of you
to ask away in regards to the movie and when I get a bunch, I'll post 'em like we
did before. How's that? Kirk. Look for responses to your stuff asap.

Apparently, the folks over at 'Epic Movie' over-reported their box-office and
it's actually lower. Ours on the other hand, was under-reported and we are
in the 15 million range. Also, WE WON SUNDAY. We were the top film yesterday
which tells us that people (like you fu*king champions) are getting out there
and spreading the word.

May God love and hold you.
