Fear dot com

[deist]

There's a horror movie coming out at the end of this month called Fear dot com. The site Fear.com doesn't resolve and the whois doesn't look like any movie company... wonder if the guy who owns it even knows... The movie's official site is here: http://feardotcom.warnerbros.com/

Much like the actress who didn't make girlfriend in Back to the Future part II, I'm betting the owner held out for too much moolah.

Maybe like "TheMatrix.com" he/she's crossing his fingers that they'll be wildly successful and come back with some juicy offer. 'Course, I think the movie would be more successful if they had the domain...

The poster says www.feardotcom.com. It forwards.

Interesting sounding movie, lol.

WarnerBros has owned the domain feardotcom.com since 1990, and a person in South Korea has owned feardot.com for a year. But in the WB official movie site, they get confused. Here's some snippets, lol:

>>...to find the answers behind the mysterious deaths of four people who each died 48 hours after logging on to the Internet site Feardotcom.com...

>>you'll be logged on to the internet site feardot.com

>>Each died exactly 48 hours after logging on to feardot.com

Somebody better teach WarnerBros about dots, or better still, they should have bought the generic fear.com, lol

I don't plan on seeing the movie, but I have to admit that the website creeped me the HELL out. Nothing like browsing a Myst-like Flash site with a little count-down telling you how long YOU have to live. After a while, I couldn't even pay attention to the website, I just kept staring at the counter and getting the heebee-geebees. PASS!

Anyway, J. Michael Straczynski has an amazing series on SciFi.com's Seeing Ear Theatre. Episode 5 is called "Night Calls", and involves a rather twisted and intriguing story that is more than it appears. Features Tim Curry and some Internet-related turns one might not expect.

SET: Night Calls

Thanks for the correction Miles - 2000 is what I meant to write. No wonder I miss the best drop times, I'm always 10 years behind, lol

So you type in a domain in your browser and then you die within 48 hours?

Anyone care to appraise the domain in question?

If the killer domain is a .com it is worth more than say a .net or maybe a .us?

I was gonna buy MatrixReloaded.com and TheMatrixReloaded.com
a while back when I found out the movie is in the making.

Matrix Reloaded is the name of the new "The Matrix" movie which
should be out within half a year or so.

He wanted $5k, then went down to $1.3k and I declined
his offer.

Check what he's using it for and tell me its not a waste.

You type in the .com and you die. Maybe if you visit the domain with .ws extension you just get a bad rash?

:laugh:
