I will not complain cause at these levels I will be buying all that I can..!!
The reason I was following this is because of Stan Lee and the fact (I herd or read) that the company was debt free.
Can anyone validate this??
Ameritrade wont let me follow these type of pinkies... So try your best to put up with me.. I can see this hit the big time. Watch out the last rise was nothing.

Movie review: 'Rush Hour 3'
By Scott Schueller
Tribune staff reporter
The cop-buddy sequel is a cinematic tradition milked more times than Old McDonald's cow, and "Rush Hour 3" finds director Brett Ratner at the udder. I suppose it's the chic thing in Hollywood these days to resuscitate the franchises of yesteryear: "Live Free or Die Hard," "Rocky Balboa" and the upcoming "John Rambo" and the fourth "Indiana Jones" outing. But "Rush Hour 3" is DOA.

Can someone confirm that the float is only 9,852,912 shares??? Hope so..
I was watching this thing for some time now and saw the last bounce to 50 or 60 cents.. I took a fairly large position in the .11 to .125 range (nobody wants to sell in large blocks).. I cannot see why the next time around that this wont be bigger than the last time.. only that the next time the new low wont hold in the .30 range.. Am I off base here. I personally think that we have a real sleeper here.

Just as water always seeks its own level, some pics originally intended as multiplex fare wind up going directly to DVD. "The Contract," a formulaic thriller that never taxes the talents of toplined Morgan Freeman and John Cusack, actually managed a smattering of playdates in offshore theaters. But this underwhelming opus appears to be in its natural habitat on a TV screen, fully justifying the decision to fast-forward to vidstore shelves in the U.S. The allure of recognizable stars toiling in a popular genre may be enough to wrest modest coin from buyers and renters. After that, latenight cable beckons.
Freeman picks up an easy paycheck as Frank Carden, a government-trained assassin-turned-freelance "exterminator" who's arrested by small-town Washington state cops after an inconvenient auto mishap. Federal agents arrive to transport the trigger man to a nearby metropolis.
But while the feds and their captive are motoring along a mountain road, members of Carden's backup team attack. Carden flees during the ensuing melee -- only to be quickly recaptured by cop-turned-schoolteacher Ray Keene (Cusack), who just happens to be hiking through the woods with his rebellious teen son (Jamie Anderson).
Scripters Stephen Katz and John Darrouzet don't inspire great expectations with their contrived setup, so it can't be said that what follows -- pretty much your standard-issue, pursuit-through-the-wilderness melodrama -- is, in the strictest sense of the term, disappointing. But it's more than fair to complain about the plodding predictability of a by-the-numbers scenario that, 30 years ago, might have served as the blueprint for a routine TV movie. (Think Darren McGavin in Freeman's role, then sub in Doug McClure for Cusack.)
Keene struggles to do the right thing -- and, not incidentally, impress his surly offspring -- while forcing Carden at gunpoint to hike through the woods and toward the authorities. Carden's cronies dog their trail, occasionally firing automatic weapons (but never really hitting anyone of consequence) when they aren't arguing among themselves. There is talk about a possible attempt to assassinate the U.S. president -- who, of course, is scheduled to make a personal appearance in the area -- and more talk about Washington spymasters who want to sever any ties to Carden. Indeed, there is a great deal of talk during "The Contract," but not nearly enough action.
Helmer Bruce Beresford ("Driving Miss Daisy," "Tender Mercies") does not transcend his material so much as dutifully push it forward as the pic plods through the Bulgarian countryside that doubles for Washington state locales. Lensing by the normally reliable Dante Spinotti ("Heat," "L.A. Confidential") is uninspired.
Cusack's performance suggests a thoroughgoing professional on automatic pilot. Freeman appears to be enjoying himself a bit more, quite likely because Carden gets to toss off a sardonic wisecrack now and then. (Asked why he was arrested, he deadpans: "They caught me smoking in a restaurant. They're pretty serious about that nowadays.") Even so, in this particular context, it's more than a little unsettling to see how persuasively Freeman conveys the no-sweat insouciance of a burn-out cynic who cheerfully admits that, idealism be damned, he's only in it for the money.

Tuning Up for the Piano Man

Over the weekend, executives in the Hamptons were busy hosting and attending high profile events. On Saturday night, Democratic party heavy hitters paid $1,000 each for a ticket to Ron Perelman's historic home, The Creeks, on Georgica Pond, to catch a glimpse of Hillary Clinton, who has a marathon of fundraisers on the East End this month in her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. GOP White House hopeful Rudy Giuliani and his wife, Judith, presided over the annual Southampton Hospital benefit with the old-monied establishment that likes to support their vacation home's local emergency room in case there's an emergency that can't wait for a chopper to the Upper East Side.
Later that night, music industry executives including Tommy Mottola and Sony C.F.O. Rob Wiesenthal (who likes to farm on his Sagaponack property) checked out Billy Joel at the insanely overpriced and under attended Ross Social concert series. It seemed as if maybe 10 percent of the attendees actually paid $3,000 ticket price to see the East End local. There were a suspicious number of nightlife impresarios with their pretty, young entourages who probably didn't pay anything to get in.
On Sunday night, Jeff Zucker, C.E.O. of NBC Universal and David Linde, co-chairman of Universal Pictures hosted a Southampton screening of "The Kingdom" with the film's producers Michael Mann Scott Stuber followed by a dinner at Savanna's restaurant. Guests included pharmaceutical heir Woody Johnson, also owner of the New York Jets, and hotel heir Rick Hilton, also the father of celebutante and ex-con Paris and the chairman of Hilton and Hyland Real Estate, a successful Beverly Hills real estate firm. On August 19, Johnson will host a screening of the new Michael Douglas movie, "King of California" at Johnson's Southampton estate.

"BTW, I've been in this stock for far too long, so I've read alot! It sucks, but we're almost certainly SOL on the Contract."
I agree
First Look DVD premiere Contract outperforms
AUG. 3 | On the heels of a major restructuring, First Look Studios is touting latest release The Contract as its best-performing title in the company’s 25-year history.
Starring Morgan Freeman and John Cusack, The Contract, which also marks First Look’s first high-definition release on HD DVD, shipped more than 600,000 units for its July 23 street date, representing $4 million in rental and sales revenue, according to the company. That first-day tally encompasses retail pre-orders equaling 80% of initial shipments. First Look declined to specify sell-through activity on the title.
Dean Wilson, First Look’s newly installed chief operating officer, credits the film’s name talent and assassin story line for boosting Contract reception at retail. The title was produced by Nu Image/Millennium, which secured a controlling stake in First Look earlier this year.
Freeman’s “a phenomenal celebrity and covers female and male interests,” said Wilson. “Video buyers love action.”
Also, Wilson believes the absence of many strong theatrical DVD offerings in July helped direct-to-DVD Contract especially stand out on shelves.
“This was tremendous timing, and retail shipped it in a big way,” said Wilson.
He said First Look also is pleased it has already made all its money back in its investment on HD DVD. Wilson did not break out standard-definition and HD DVD results on Contract.
“The HD DVD more than broke even,” he said. “It cost extra money to author [than standard-def.] And in my measurement, that is good.”
Many upcoming First Look releases are likewise Nu Image/Millennium productions, including Michael Douglas-starring King of California. That bodes well for their success as well, believes Wilson.
Nu Image/Millennium Films’ principal Avi Lerner added of Contract, “This is a winning title for both companies. This film shows how the production and distribution operations of Nu Image and First Look can work together successfully.”
this is what is so strange about this one. We have so much promise here and everything goes flat.. And yo don't hear anything for many days. Usually we dig up stuff before they announce it
Before you know it.... It will tank again for the lack of PR's
sorry its their history and believe me history for these guys has repeated itself over and over again
I am going to apply for the job and be a mole.

Thats exactly where this is going and Furla will do it all over again, only with a new bunch of buyers.. I will stay around or at least I intend on doing that just so the truth be told. Watch out when the first payment is paid after they increase the OS to 10 Billion (for insurance purposes)
Just a gut feeling. 1 yr or 18 months from now (we keep saying that) we will see....
I 100% AGREE!!!
"It is more likely that the insider buying and company buybacks are related to the upcoming shareholder vote on increasing the authorized shares - not because they are rolling in money and don't need outside cash."
This is probably #1 in the frustration department. Lots of hype and little movement with the momentum in the downward mode..
I just don't see this going anywhere till at least they got the TV Gig and at least one solid movie under their belt. When ever that happens. I don't need the tax loss today but I could soon!!
Nothing personal
You just confirmed everything that I was saying about this POS
And my post was to thank you for confirming it.
Ed
My original post a few days ago
"Then 200M and now we are at 2 BILLION!!!
With an additional 2 Billion around our neck as a thank you bonus.. You tell me why?
Conceivably we could be at 6 Billion if everything went wrong.. Wait.. Hold the Presses Furla is buying.."
Your post just a few moments ago and I am labeled as a bad moderator.. Realistic moderator would be me..
"""Talk of a dollar or even $.10 seems like an outlandish pump statement for the following reasons: 1) the company currently has about 2 billion shares outstanding; 2) it just issued $1 million of convertible debt, convertible into 2 billion shares of stock; 3) it issued warrants for another 2 billion shares of stock, with an exercise price of $.0005. Thus, the fully diluted outstanding share balance is 6 billion shares. If the PPS hit $1 - that would make the company worth $6 billion: can you imagine any conceivable scenario where the company would be worth $6 billion??? If the PPS hit a dime - that would make the company worth $600 million: again, what conceivable scenario would have the company worth that amount. Now, if the PPS hit $.01, the market valuation of $60 million might be supportable if it were bringing $2-3 million to the bottom line and had a 20-30 multiple: this could conceivably happen if a) they have a few hit movies and get some solid back end participation; b) the reality TV show gets off the ground and is a hit; and c) the pipeline continues to stay full with strong prospects, helped along by the Lerner connection. The greatest likelihood is a PPS under $.01 but above $.0025, depending on what actually transpires. Time will tell. But please stop the nonsense about $1 !!!!!!"""
Please understand that the boys (Emmett and Furla) take 60% of everything and the company eats the expenses.
You can bet your bottom dollar that everything else will be plowed back into the business to party, research and purchase options on material.
Maybe even to a Debbie does Dallas remake..
If everything goes right Rambo will generate some 90M+ at the box office. righteous Kill should do about the same. Then the Major Movie Star (Boobs is hot right now) hopefully a PG movie will generate the same. If they get 5% of the gross over the production and advertising costs estimated at 50M we stand to make about 2.5M on each one.

NEW YORK -- Vivica A. Fox, Steve Guttenberg, Ryan Sypek and "Saturday Night Live" vet Cheri Oteri have been cast opposite Jessica Simpson in the comedy "Major Movie Star" for Nu Image/Millennium Films.
"High School Musical's" Olesya Rulin, "Gilmore Girls" regular Keiko Agena, Jill Marie Jones, Aimee Garcia and Gary Grubbs also star in the story of Megan (Simpson), a somewhat clueless movie star who impulsively enlists in the U.S. Army Reserve after discovering her boyfriend is gay and her cousin/accountant has stolen all her money.
Fox will play Sgt. Louisa Morley, an intimidating training officer who goes hard on Megan. Guttenberg will play the controlling agent Sidney Green, furious at her for enlisting and at Gen. Greer (Grubbs) for keeping her there. Sypek will play the handsome officer Megan falls for, Sgt. Mills Evans. Oteri will play Pvt. Jeter, the most gung-ho recruit on the base and Megan's arch-nemesis. Jones, Rulin, Agena and Garcia will play Megan's fellow reservists.
Filming on director Steve Miner's feature began Monday at Camp Minden near Shreveport, La. Oteri contributed recent revisions to April Blair and Holly Sorensen's screenplay.
The producers are Bill Gerber, Joe Simpson, Randall Emmett and Denise Di Novi. The executive producers are Avi Lerner, Michael P. Flannigan, Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, John Thompson and Joe Gatta. Stephen Emery and Dal Walton are co-producing.

"This is the first board I've visited where the moderator is the biggest griper about the stock. Of course, this will be deleted."
why would I do that.. a healthy discussion is healthy.
Rambo will be released sometime in 2008 and will not show up in the profit participation unless it is released in the first quarter of 2008. If it is released in the March - June time frame there will be no profit posted till the July - September statement which then gets posted by November 2008.. Anything later will push it into 2009
John Rambo (2008)
Release Dates
USA – December 2007
Brazil – February 2008
"especially if that money is from insiders"
That should be insider(S) removed
Wowsa, Great job on posting the charts and updating the I box.
Spa
Then why are we not at .001?
If all the insiders would buy (and there is only 1 (Furla) reporting) this would get to that number or higher.
Who else is buying shares besides Furla?
Nobody.
The only other officer is Emmett and he unloaded all but 1.8M some time ago.
The only other one that anyone would notice would be Dalton.
No word as of yet if he is buying any.
So my questions still stands Who is buying besides Furla?
If Emmett knows anything why isn't he buying.. Just write the broker a check and let them do it for you.......
Please name more than (1) ONE insider who is buying stock??
Could you also point me in the direction of where it was filed with the SEC?
This is where I look and cannot find anything except for Furla..

Out Of Rehab Brigitte Nielsen Feels Born Again
Washington, July 24 (ANI): Actress Brigitte Nielsen is feeling like a ‘new-born person’ after her stint in rehab.
The 44-year-old was at ‘The Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav’ at Warner Bros. studios in Burbank, where she revealed that she was feeling good after attending rehab.
"I'm feeling good. I feel like a new-born person. I just came out of rehab,” the People quoted Nielsen, as saying.
The actress who became popular through 1980s B-movies insisted that she herself opted for a ‘new life’, which was not an easy decision to take but something ‘within’ her told her that ‘enough is enough’.
“I made a choice about a new life. It's not been easy but it was definitely time,” she said.
The ‘Red Sonja’ actress was being treated for a few weeks, although the news of her rehab stint was out on July 20.
The actress felt that any abuse affected everyone around her and thanked God for the change in her.
"It has to do with your family. It has to do with business. It was to do with your friends, who are honest with you. So you know maybe it's time to change – and that's exactly what I did. I cannot thank God more,” she said.

Hollywood At War
Posted by Matthew Felling
Jessica Biel.
Samuel L. Jackson.
Put them in a movie – then add Christina Ricci, TV hunk Chad Michael Murray and rapper 50 Cent – and you’d think you had a solid chance at a decent box office showing.
Not necessarily.
The movie, “Home of the Brave” – about Iraq war veterans returning and getting acclimated back into day-to-day life – was one of the biggest flops in recent Hollywood. According to the Internet Movie Database, it grossed $44,000 – most likely less than the cars that Jackson or Biel drive. (To provide proportion, a movie like “The Hills Have Eyes 2” grossed $20 million.)
You’d think that Hollywood might consider that America might not be ready for big-screen adaptions of the war, and hit the brakes on other Iraq-related fare? Think again. According to yesterday’s New York Times:
On Sept. 14, Warner Independent Pictures expects to release “In the Valley of Elah,” a drama inspired by the Davis murder, written and directed by Paul Haggis, whose “Crash” won the Academy Award for best picture in 2006. The film stars Tommy Lee Jones as a retired veteran who defies Army bureaucrats and local officials in a search for his son’s killers. In one of the movie’s defining images, the American flag is flown upside down in the heartland, the signal of extreme distress.
Other coming films also use the damaged Iraq veteran to raise questions about a continuing war. In “Grace Is Gone,” directed by James C. Strouse and due in October from the Weinstein Company, John Cusack and two daughters struggle with the loss of a wife and mother who is killed on duty. Kimberly Peirce’s “Stop-Loss,” set for release in March by Paramount, meanwhile, casts Ryan Phillippe as a veteran who defies an order that would send him back to Iraq.
The article continues to note that in addition to “Elah and “Grace” and “Stop-Loss,” there’s also an October Reese Witherspoon project called “Rendition” and a Brian dePalma movie in December called “Redacted.”
It’s been noted in this space before that the Iraq war is a difficult, discomforting topic for most Americans. That’s one of the reasons the newsmedia frequently sidesteps Iraq for more superficial topics – why broadcast something that seems to repel audiences? (Particularly when there’s ratings-crack like Paris and Lindsay and Anna Nicole and Michael Vick, etc.)
So it’s curious that Hollywood – which is so insistent on return-on-investment that they’ll bombard us with sure-thing sequels ad nauseam – would be pushing the envelope on Iraq movies, and with such big names involved.
Readers, remember you heard it here first: If things in Iraq continue to become murkier – regardless of benchmarks and progress reports – and public sentiment continues to sink, then this crop of Iraq movies may end up turning the 2008 Oscars into a proxy debate over the Iraq war.
I am not predicting anything. But you will see.. I seriously hope I am wrong..
I just report the news I find both good and bad..
The Contract -- The quality cast is in place: Morgan Freeman is the sublimely controlled villain. John Cusack is the everyman American hero compelled to take action.
The scenario is overly familiar but workable: Freeman, who works as a killer for corrupt elements in the U.S. government, is on a mission. Cusack is an ex-cop on a camping trip with his troubled teenage son.
The immovable assassin accidentally meets the emotional dad.
The Contract, new to DVD this week in a widescreen-only edition, is entertaining in its first two acts. The third act, however, can only be described as preposterous.
The DVD is routine, with a photo gallery and making-of doc that has Freeman, Cusack and newcomer Jamie Anderson over-explaining who their characters are.
