Heist

MPAA Rating: R (for language and some violence)
Distributor: Warner Brothers
Production Company: Franchise Pictures
Cast: Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito, Ricky Jay, Delroy Lindo, Patti LuPone, Rebecca Pidgeon, Sam Rockwell, Jim Frangione
Director: David Mamet
Premise: This is the story of a gang of thieves who are planning on that "one big heist", in this case, a jewelry store. (Hackman plays the rival to the leader of the gang who's seeking to take over; Jones is in talks to play the leader of the gang; Rockwell plays a young cousin who is sent along with Hackman to ensure he doesn't cheat on the shares; Lindo plays Hackman's best friend).


Shallow Hal

MPAA Rating: PG-13 (for language and sexual content)
Distributor: 20th Century Fox
Cast: Jack Black (Hal), Gwyneth Paltrow (Rosemary Shanahan), Jason Alexander (Mauricio), Tony Robbins, Susan Ward (Jill), Zen Gesner, Laura Kightlinger, Rene Kirby, Sascha Knopf (Tanya), Joe Viterelli (Steve Shanahan)
Directors: Bobby and Peter Farrelly
Premise: When his father was on his deathbed, young Hal (Black) was told to only date the youngest, prettiest women. And so he does, and as he reaches middle-age, and he's only appreciated women for their surface. What a surprise then when he's hypnotized (by Tony Robbins) into only seeing women for their inner beauty. Soon, he meets a woman (Paltrow) who's quite obese, but he falls in love with her inner self... (Alexander plays Hal's best friend, another self-absorbed, womanizing guy; Ward plays one of Hal's stunning girlfriends)


24 hours from this post the auction will close.

Ready, Steady, Go!

Instead of raising the price on this to a whopping price it probably won't make, I'll just wait til the clock is almost up...

You were a minute too late I'm afraid, spdrcr. That was exhilariting. I'm worn out.

The post was made at 5.59pm. I posted at 5:57 with $26. You replied at 5:58 with $26 which didn't beat my post. You then upped your post to $27 but it was too late. The post says 6.00pm. Oh, btw, did you ever see that film starring Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari... I forget what it was called but it reminds me so much of you.

The bigvalbowski gets the big money maker this week costing him $26m.

TWTCommish gets Heist for $10m.

And spdrcr goes home empty-handed. Boo-hoo.



I believe you get "Heist" bigval. At $11m. You also get "Hal" -- good job. Sorry, Kent! BTW: this game is *loads* of fun. I'm really gonna try to make a real effort to turn it into something automated and official...perhaps with a prize at the end of each calendar year. 'Twoud be cool, no?
