Hey Jef
This is certainly good news on the Ishtar front! It's been a little slow lately, thanks for kicking up some new activity...
My friend Vincent in Paris is a translator, but he does it for a living, I doubt he'd want to spend his free time on it. There are lots of bilingual folks here in Canadaland, I'll see if I can find somebody who'd be interested in working on this....
Man oh man, I'd love to contribute a recording to the tribute album. I'm not famous, or very good, but I could put together a good team of musicians to turn out a good recording. It would be so great to get the complete song from Paul Williams ("That A Lawnmower Could Do All That" for example) to work on. Maybe that's another question for him... can he do that? Or are his hands legally tied?
Hey all Ishtarians... thought we'd bring you up to speed with a few things in Ishtar The Movie.com land:
1 - DVD GIVEAWAY
During this month of May, everyone, regardless of home country, who leaves a message and valid name/email on our new MESSAGE BOARD (found here: http://www.ishtarthemovie.com/ ) will have their name put into a draw for a free UK 'Uncut' DVD copy of Ishtar. The winning name will be picked June 1, 2008 and shipped as soon as the email, name and a shipping address in confirmed.board/index. php
This DVD is a REGION 2 disc, which means it is playable on REGION 2 or NON-REGION players. Now, once you have this disc, most computers can make a backup copy which is perfectly viewable on any player, anywhere.
We're working on the disappearing honor system... please enter your name only once.
We hope to repeat this. Keep posted and spread the word.
2 - TRIBUTE CD
The interest in a fan tribute CD has been GREAT. We are still trying to confirm all legalities through Columbia Pictures and Capitol Records... a very tedious thing. To all who have contacted us, thanks for your patience. We STILL expect to do this and would love to continue having as much support as possible.
3 - PAUL WILLIAMS INTERVIEW PENDING
We've been in touch directly with Mr. Williams and he has consented to answering email questions. If you have a curiosity or two which you'd like to pose to him, we'll gladly forward all relevant and polite queries, crediting you, of course, with your permission. Send them by May 16th and then we'll do the deed.
4 - LOOKING FOR FRENCH TRANSLATORS
And, finally, we're looking for help translating the site into French. Yes, France loves the flick (...not as much as Jerry Lewis...) and the film thru a French site would get even more attention. Any ideas?
5 - And as always, we love hearing from youse guys...
Hope everyone is having a great day... AND THANKS AGAIN!!!
