Hell I work in Japan & saw that many in one day, I think he was in the wrong place...I was wondering if he place 911 on speed dial ??? HUMMMMMM !!  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 07-09-2002 10:29 PM                        He must work in Distribution, no one in exhibition would make that many calls. Maybe he's a booker?  |  IP: Logged Thomas Hauerslev Master Film Handler Posts: 451 From: Copenhagen, Denmark Registered: Aug 2000 posted 07-11-2002 02:30 AM                        If you like stories about stupid behaviour of human beings, turn to this web site ------------------ Cheers, Thomas www.in70mm.com www.dp70.com www.70mm.dk  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Well, perhaps he wouldn't be in the running for the "A**hole of the Year". Perhaps the stunt of kissing rattlesnakes and nearly dying when it bites back qualifies as a "Dumbass of the Year" stunt. I haven't seen the movie "Jackass". Is there something in this movie that the snake kisser was trying to copy?  |  IP: Logged Matt Close Expert Film Handler Posts: 226 From: Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 11-20-2002 01:48 AM                        All of these links come up as a CNN 'sorry this page removed or not here' type statement  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 11-20-2002 11:12 AM                     The man who kissed the rattlesnake wasn't trying to ape Jackass.
