TRUE story.... My son comes over.....last night.. TUES about 11:30 PM
we are making lifesize manniquins for a display at the Toledo
Firefighters museum as a side project.. because Tommy likes to make
props for films..
these will be used to sit in Old fire trucks from 1950s and a steam
powered hore drawn pumper from the 1890s...
so i ask Tommy whats this Donnie Darko film about? and he says Time
Travel and all disjointed stuff........ Ironically I have a Item up on
ebay currently that looks like it came from HG wells Time machine,,, a
lantern stage coach thats a transistor radio... in my mind.. I see it as
a Movie prop in a Time machine movie,, see ebay seller id - Dreamfactory
when I told him I thought it was a Johnny depp film he said ohh you mean
Donnie Brasko...
so we laughed ,,, Brasko Darko... so what? and then I said wouldnt
that be funny if the Darko people bought my transistor radio off ebay as
a plot in the film...
well It would be a Movie 1st as far as I know to involve real time with
made up time... in a film script...
wierd eh??? I think ive finally out dont my own mind as far as
potential possibilities I didnt even try...
this all has been happening by random coinsidence OR is it??????
wheres Rod Serling when you need him :))))
see the wierd hg wells radio on ebay... its starnger than fiction -
trust me

Tom, I ran into Jimmy Duvall who was in the film at the Fangoria
Convention. We were talking about how Donnie Darko still has a strong
following. It certainly was evident at the Fangoria convention.

well Toochis - nice idea!! they said they may consider me to make wrap
gifts to give to the cast and crew..there are 100 !.
The other day i did a job for Bronx college in NYC and they sent me a
Pic of actor Chaz Palmieri holding
a clapper that I made for them as they give them to film students.. he
was in BRONX tale with Deniro
and whats funny was I did a Movie reel clock for warner bros =- savoy
films and they ordered 15,000
to give away in the video release.. It was one of my largest gigs
ever... I also did " Guilty by suspicion" Deniro film clapper clock...
I think maybe the Mob likes me... :) I seem to do lots of Italian
films... well I am part Italian
and my ex was part Siscilian.
anything can happen...:) but if i did get a huge order now I would
probably would be hypmotized
thanks Toochis!
best, Tom

It's a very popular film. Is there a way you or your son could
somehow put the sale info on Youtube or something like that? This
film has a huge following.

well if anyone liked the Donnie Darko film -( one of my sons faves )
I received a call from the sound man on part two- Donnie Darko and
they bought a Time code clapper slate (they start shooting wed).
from me to be used on the film... it was quite a honor to be awakened
by a call from a production company... I am a authorised dealer of
DENECKE TIME CODE SLATES and I offer a great deal as I include some
free extra Hollywood dream factory® items and a great discount and
have them sent factory direct with FULL limited warrantty...Denecke
wom a Academy award® for tecnical achievement
anyways I thought id share that as its movie related and perhaps some
other Movie people on the list will buy these from me and help
support a lunatic in Toledo.. Thanks! my special deal is $1,155.00
+ shipping
they are normally retail 1295.00
Only problem was I thought it was a Johnny Depp film.....Gos to show
what I know....
I think I need to have IMDB hard wired into my brain
well ay least I didnt think it was a Julie Andrews Flick.....
oivey.......:)
