Antarctica Now!

For the past several months, many posters over at Ace of Spades HQ have mentioned the infamous "Antarctica Now" post by DaveInTexas. I had never read it, when I asked where this post was, nobody could ever remember exactly where it was, but then on Thanksgiving night 2009, a link to it appeared. Innocent Bystander had the post in question on his site. Thanks to Ace, Dave and Innocent.

I was like a little boy on Christmas morning as I read the post, picturing it in my mind. But alas, how could I share those pictures with everyone else. I then contacted "friends" in Hollywood, to see what I could do. After reading the original, I knew that it needed a screenplay treatment for it. So, I set out to do that.

After finishing the screenplay, I was inundated with offers to produce and direct by people like Steve, Marty, Georgie, Quent and even Francis. After talking with them about their vision for the movie, I knew they would all get the story and context wrong. At that point, I needed to go out and get financing. Since Ace had just received a windfall from a "Tipjar" hit, I knew that he would be sloshed on Val-U-Rite and hanging with some Thai Ladyboys, so I snuck into his mom's basement and swiped a couple of $20's out of his wallet to bring you this.

Antarctica Now, the movie.
