2000th comment prize
Back on November 30th, I announced that Glo won the 2000th comment competition. At the time, I was a little embarrassed, because I hadn't yet worked out the prize details.
20 days later, I'm far enough along where I can finally announce what the prize will be.
As the 2000th commenter on omarphillips.net, Glo wins... are you ready for this? I'm not sure you're ready. You kind of look like you don't really care, and it's ruining the drama a little bit. Fake some excitement. Bite your nails and hold your breath. Now you're ready.
As the 2000th commenter on omarphillips.net, Glo wins a cameo appearance in the first ever, yet-to-be-named omarphillips.net animated movie!!!
Originally, I had hoped to have the movie out by Thanksgiving. Then, I was thinking early to mid December. Then, I was hoping by Christmas. Now, the goal is to get it out before the internet goes out of style. Regardless of the release date, just know that there will be a release party, and that it will be big. Or, as the Donald would say, "It's gonna be YOOGE."
Details AND a movie trailer will be out soon. And by soon, I mean I'm shooting for the trailer to be out before the end of the calendar year.

I love that you comment back to everyone's comments!! You are so personalable. Great bedside manner! Love the new look.

I’ll give you until the end of the year. Why? Because I’m generous like that, and also because I fully expect the movie/trailer to have sound, and I don’t have sound here at work, so by the end of the year, I should have the world wide web back at my disposal in my new apartment, thus I will be ready to embrace all that is good and great here at the OP. I’m curious as to how you’re putting this feature film together though… I just started toying around with flash, and it turns out, I’m completely inept with it.
Jon said:
By the way, new design is awesome, but what I want to know is how many different things does the little snowman say? Maybe I'll just keep hitting refresh and thereby boost your numbers... you're evil. I can appreciate that.

I like your new layout, it has very subtle tones. By the way I forgot to mention, if you link me then I will link you, therby continuing the expansion of the blog-web. :)

So, FYI...I've voted like 5 times from 2 computers on this latest poll. I think OP.3 is slacking off.
*I don't enjoy destroying the integrity of your statistics, but when it's available it's just calling me to vote again and tell you that your stats aren't valid.
**sorry.

so now i need to refresh the page a million times to i can play with the snowman.
also, i'm a mean movie critic. i feel bad for you already...as i know my wrath is fierce...
Glo said:
Ok. So...I heard this announcement was going to be made and when I went to check...not there. Because work Internet? Dumb. Apparently. So, today I flew halfway across the states, stayed up too late giving into my urge to create a Christmas contest, and then thought....
Oh. My. Livin. Laws. I won a contest once. Did I get a prize? I can't remember. Because I'm jet-lagged.
But let me say - I'm so damned excited that I forgot my resolve to stop swearing. Yep. That excited.
Thank you, Omar. You have changed my freakin life. Again.
Okay. I have to stop gushing sometime. So, I"m gonna go and set-up my post-release interviews and leave this comment be. You'll be seeing more of me once that movie goes public. Regardless of how big or small my part is. That I promise you.
I said:
cadiz - You most certainly are still a Gold Club member. It's one of the remaining details I still have to work out with the redesign.
at - I try to give off the personable vibe online. In person, I'm like an old grisly hermit who shouts out "BAH" to everyone who passes by.
jon - I will be using Flash, yes. I am only slightly better than inept. This movie will not get Oscar nods for technical achievement, that much I'm sure of. For the screenplay, perhaps. And for best animated film, and possibly directing. The snowman currently says only 4 things, and it should be noted that it only changes on the main page (which you probably already figured out). He may say more one day.
jedith - Thanks re: the layout! I'll be updating links soon...
cate - Sadly, they don't alwasy get the help they are looking for.
MEP - That's an unplanned side effect. Though the look of the poll changed, it is still set to lock people out by IP address for 24 hours.
jasmine - I'll have to add more variations, so that you'll have more to see! And I can take your meanness as a critic. I wouldn't get into the movie business if I couldn't handle it.
glo - I think you're going to be happy with your portrayal.

Not to raise the Voice Of Doubt or anything but I couldn't help noticing you didn't say which calendar year. I'm thinking this one, aka 2005, but I figured I should ask.
And the redesign, especially rotating snowman bubbles? Awe-inspiring.

Oh, that just ruins all your stats, doesn't it? Awww.
Glo said:
Still getting choked up over this. Really. What a great surprise :)
