    What?! What makes you think this isn't for real!?

    Look, in 45 minutes, we can all go to the chat room and get the real skinny, okay?

    On second thought, never mind.  I'm there now.

    Okay, okay, okay.  Thanks to some big mouth n00b twerp who didn't catch my little "if you're in the know" "go along with it" hint in navy blue text in the press release *COUGH COUGH koff1moretimekoff  :wink:*… the jig is up.

    Power Play is not coming soon to a theatre near anybody.  😥

    It's going direct to DVD. 😀

    *sigh* No, not even that. 

    A quick little Mandarin Chinese lesson for everyone:

    Wan Ju Yuan = toy money (as in, play money)
    Bu Shi Zhinde = is not real

    And Si Yue Xiao Chou = Four Month Clown… which is my very sloppy translation of…

    it was still 3/31/06 for me when I first read this.

    Consider yourself Amazon-smacked!  Oh wait, you might like that . . .  😉

    Well, what I'd REALLY like would be a cartoon of an amaz0n casually, smilingly, affectionately draping her arm around my shoulder (or Monty's since nobody knows what I, Jimmy, look like… AFAIK) and presenting a bogus script binder for "Power Play — The Movie." And the caption:  No Movie… No Hard Feelings.  Happy April Fool's Day, 2006.

    And her shadow would be strangling mine, a la Mad Magazine's Sergio Aragones.  😉

    A most amusing jape, dear James.
    It was interesting and convincing until I's did read the Pinyin (the phenetic translation of Chinese words) and remember my's time working in Hong Kong and knowing there are no studios or the like which such names -then your pun was seen.
    'Tis a pity that such a deal did not eventuate but, knowing Hong Kong Studios as I's do, suhc a thing is never to happen unless you have a high ranked star willing to front the project or you have massive investment capital all ready gathered before you propose the project. And even then you will only get minimal aid in its creation.
    Oh, well.
    There may still be hope.
    Peace

    One day…one day, I will not fall for an April Fool's joke played on March 31. One day…

    Don't feel bad, MGN.  Technically it WAS the 1st of April where I was when I posted this.  International Date Line and all.  😉

    And by the authority invested in me, I dub you my Prime Minister.  Thus decrees James the First, King of the Amaz0ns. 😀
