If you saw
a real stinker of a movie recently and are still fuming over the dough you lost paying for your tix — I feel you, movie tickets here in SF are upwards of $10.50 now — a new Facebook app can't get your precious time back, but can at least
help you get back your money in the form of free movie tickets.
Called
Payback Time, this app relies heavily on your creative and convincing writing style. Just leave your rant on Payback Time as to why you should get your money back, list the dollar amount you want reimbursed (I'd throw in the cost of popcorn and drinks, but hey, that's just me), then just sit back and leave it to the Facebook community to vote and decide who should get their cash back.
Sugar staffers around the office are stoked for the
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull release on DVD tomorrow. Why? Two words: Shia LaBeouf.
After 123 hours and 10 minutes of continuous movie watching (yes, that means zero hours of sleep), the
Netflix Movie Watching World Championship in NYC's Time Square has come to a close. Yesterday, Susan Sarandon was on hand to deliver the final movie Thelma and Louise (which was movie number 57) to the winners Suresh Joachim and Claudia Wavra. Joachim, a Sri Lanka native who now resides in Toronto, and Wavra of Petersberg, Germany
achieved a new Guinness World Record for most consecutive hours spent watching movies.
If you haven't seen
Star Wars: Clone Wars yet, then you probably haven't been properly introduced to Ahsoka Tano, the newest butt-kicking female to be ushered into the Star Wars family and who just so happens to be Anikin Skywalker's new headstrong apprentice!
I saw the movie recently, and had the pleasure of talking with
Ashley Eckstein who voices Ahsoka in the animated flick, about her role in the franchise, what it was like to play such an enthusiastic character, and whether or not she's a bonified geek. You may know Ashley from the hit TV series That's So Raven as Muffy, but now?
