Well, we've celebrated Talk Like a Pirate Day on the boards before, so perhaps this isn't too far off base. A friend of mine wrote and directed a movie: Pirates of the Great Salt Lake. It's screened across the country to very good reviews, but he's having trouble drumming up support from distributors to release the film. So he's come up with this idea he's called Free the Pirates. Basically, fans of the film can donate money to get screen credit (for $5) or an autographed DVD when it's released (for $25), or a DVD and autographed poster (for $50), or--if you really have moola--a verbal onscreen thank you along with everything else (for $500).
I'm not asking you to do this just because I asked (because you probably wouldn't anyway), but I'd like to encourage everyone to go over and check out the site. You can view the trailer, read about the film and the Free the Pirates campaign--the whole bit. Then, if you feel like you want to, you can donate the money. I anted up $25, just because I'm going to want to own the movie anyway, and that seems like a reasonable enough price for it. This isn't your typical LDS comedy--think more along the lines of Napoleon Dynamite. Eric (the director) is a really nice guy, and he's written some funny stuff. Go check it out.
