    "You Called the Wolf! Sheeeeat ... that's all you had to say"

    Man, I love that movie.

    What I need to do is get a hold of the screen play to study the way Tarantino writes his dialogue. That's where I see another amazing lesson woven into this "heart attack inducing movie."

    I was watching the extra features on this DVD and Tarantino was talking about watching the movie in it's first showing in a theater and he said he knew he had a hit on his hands when one of the scenes induced a heart attack in one of the viewers.

    What if the momentum of your copy made peoples heart race?

    You've nailed the metaphor here Ben with this comparison and I feel sorry for anyone who has not seen the movie because they won't get the full effect of how exalted this man named "Winston Wolf" was in the eyes of his fans, Jules and Vincent.

    For those who've seen the movie. obviously you agree this would be every marketing strategist/copywriters wet dream come true to be thought of this highly for your ability to make the owwwweee go away.

    This is what sky-rocketed Tony Robbins reputation. He built the empire he has by anointing himself "The One Stop Therapist." He promised you he could cure any phobia you had in just one session.

    He honed his chops in Holiday Hotel Ball rooms and on the street and when he felt his game was samurai sword sharp he started going on the radio and calling on the therapists, telling them to give him their worst patients. Patients they thought were incurable.

    Then he proceeded to bring them on stage one by one at his events and ... slaying their problems.

    Dateline even tried to bring him down and they failed.

    Tony is a prime example of letting your work do the talking. If it's outstanding it will be in demand. If it stinks up the room you'll be looking for a job somewhere else.

    Keep sharpening your mind and you'll be there soon.
