Title: Trying to give away free DONNIE DARKO stuff, especially to UK folks...
Post by: Rev. Powell on July 24, 2010, 01:35:48 PM
Sorry, I always feel a bit guilty plugging my own site here on badmovies, but I'd like a little help giving away some free stuff. 

I'm running a contest this month and I have 1 DONNIE DARKO Blu-ray to give away to someone from the UK or Ireland, and 5 DONNIE DARKO posters to give away to people anywhere else in the world.

So far there is only one contestant for the Blu-ray (so you would have a 50% chance of winning it if only 1 of you enters).  There are exactly 5 requests for the poster, but 3 of them come from our own MofoRising!  So, if you've ever held a grudge against Mofo, here's your chance to steal a poster out from under his feet.

All you have to do to enter is make a comment on any movie post on the site, and then announce your intent to enter.  Details here (http://366weirdmovies.com/july-contest-win-a-donnie-darko-blu-ray-uk-or-poster-rest-of-the-world/).

Sorry about the plug, but I feel confident Andrew won't consider this spam.  More than anything I expected a much bigger response than I got, and I'm a tiny bit embarrassed.  I don't want the sponsor to think the low amount of entries means they made a mistake in selecting me to give away their free stuff.  So, take the free stuff and do me a favor!

Have you tried listing it at some of the sweepstakes sites? You should get at least a few hits from those. I visit your site   :teddyr:  If members here dont enter you should try the sweep sites.

I feel kinda bad.
I really don't like Donnie Darko.  :bluesad:


The other Brits on this board might love it, though.  :smile:

Just one week to go.  What are the "sweeps sites" you speak of, 3mn?  They allow you just to post contests?

I was just trying to give away free stuff, I never intended to make the D-man feel bad.   :bluesad:

Sweepstakes advantage~ http://www.sweepsadvantage.com/smf/latest-or-new-sweepstakes-b2.0/  link is for new sweepstakes listing.. You will need to register to post sweeps or I could let one of the editors know of it. I havent visited there in a long time but I would help ya out   :teddyr:

Online sweepstakes~  http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/forumdisplay.php?f=82 also you need to register.. If you post the sweep list the rules, link to rules, and the specfics..Sweepstakes advantage list UK sweeps, online sweepstakes I dont think list them seperatly or even at all. But you could list the other part of the sweep.

There are many other sites but I dont visit them.  :teddyr:

Sorry to hear about the lack of replies, Rev.

By all means, folks, steal a poster from me by commenting on the reviews at 366 Weird Movies (http://366weirdmovies.com/). Rev. Powell has created a haven for very intelligent criticism of some highly bizarre movies. In fact, there is an extremely well-written review of Big Man Japan (http://366weirdmovies.com/reader-recommendation-big-man-japan-dai-nihonjin-2007/) to be found on the site. It's a cool site by a cool guy. And to think, I used to think Rev. Powell was only a crazed preacher tracking down children to get his hands on their money!

Heck, I was commenting on the reviews because the Rev. has a habit of looking under the same cinematic rocks I do. Check it out.

Then again, don't. I could really use three Donnie Darko posters. I could use them to consolidate my empire and live like a king!

And then he got himself 'owned' by a tough cookie of an old lady.  :wink:

Ahem... still a couple of days left for some UK resident to get a 50% shot at the Blu-ray.  Also only 3/5 of the posters are spoken for.
