Joyswag: Win a Slimline PS2 and Buzz! The Hollywood Quiz
We know, most of you have upgraded to the Boxbox 380 or the GameStation 4, but something tells us there's still an audience for the PlayStation 2 out there. Oh, what's that? That something is called "statistics"? We'll look into that in due time, but for now we wanted to share this giveaway with you fine looking people (you should be in The Movies). We're offering up a slimline PS2 along with a copy of Buzz: The Hollywood Quiz to one lucky reader (approx. value: $170). If you're not as lucky as that person, we have a runner-up prize of just the game (approx. value: $40). Everyone else can get all On the Waterfront on us, crying about contending and what have you.
- To enter this giveaway, leave a comment sharing your favorite bit of totally made-up movie trivia. (ours: James Bond had 37 toes and two rows of teeth!)
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec ... désolé)
- Limit 1 entry per person per calendar day (you can't have that many favorite bits of fake trivia)
- This entry period ends at 2:00pm ET on Sunday, April 27th. We'll randomly select the winner at that time (please check your email!).

Peter Jackson recently had his DNA worked up and much to his delight found that he can trace his lineage back to both hobbits and dwarves.

Cameron Diaz got cancer by the fake "hair gel" in "Something About Mary" and when she found out, she went on a nut-cracking rampage, eventually killing herself and 10 pappartzi.

I like the part in Lord of the Rings where Harry Potter rips off Golems skins and wears it as a suit. He was going for Justin's skin, but Justin couldnt be found as he was under his computer desk trying to find all the Skittles he dropped.

Jack Kirby's ashes were used to create the particle effects in the Fantastic Four.

One of the flash frames in Fight Club is of a ninja.
FOXHOUND @ Apr 23rd 2008 2:18PM
Dr. Uwe Boll isn't really human nor a doctor, but a form of box jellyfish known as "theatrum presul annoyus"; whose venomous sting affects humans violently by lowering brain cell count, loss of monetary funding, and sterility in males ages 18-36.

Miguel Hernandez @ Apr 23rd 2008 2:19PM
Samuel L Jackson cannot speak at an audible level. He must yell every line he's ever had in every movie
PojoMofo @ Apr 23rd 2008 2:26PM

Andrew Jonas @ Apr 23rd 2008 2:19PM
My favorite bit of made-up trivia would be that the munchkins from wizard of oz also made a cameo appearance as hobbits in Lord of the Rings
aristokrat @ Apr 23rd 2008 2:19PM
Plan 10 From Outer Space is a secret movie that is the finest work of film ever made. It is so good your brain explodes and you enter a catatonic state watching the film on repeat for the rest of your life. Plan 9 From Outer Space was actually made after it, in an attempt to dissuade anybody from ever wondering what P10FOS was like, due to the dangerous nature of its content.
PhoenixGeek @ Apr 23rd 2008 2:19PM
All the actors in the Star Wars prequels were actually replaced with robots, however there was a bug in the robot for Anakan that made it very uncomfortable to watch him on screen.

The role of Gollum in the LOTR movies was originally offered to Danny DeVito, but he turned it down feeling the movies would not be successful.

Martin Scorsese was the second uncredited Velociraptor in the first Jurassic Park movie as a favor to Steven Spielberg. He filmed for only a day before heat exhaustion prevented him from continuing, forcing Spielberg to hire his another stunt person.
