I've already bought the max for Nathan, Joss and Alan Tudyk. Good to see there is someone else I can spend my "money" on.

Yeah, I've been trying to get all the BDH starbonds. HSX's policy is that they won't even consider someone eligible for a starbond unless that person has two movie credits to their name (and, by movie credit, they mean that the star has to be part of the studio's press release materials for that movie). Nathan Fillion became eligible once he signed on for Slither. Joss with Goners and Wonder Woman (although, now that Wonder Woman has fallen through for Joss, he's down to the minimum). Gina has been in more than two movies but I wasn't sure if the Matrix movies qualified since she wasn't a headliner so I waited to submit my request until it was definite that she would be co-starring with Chris Rock in "I Think I Love My Wife."

Now I have to wait until another BDH gets a juicy movie role...

Gina? BUY, BUY, BUY! ;-)

Yes, my favorite warrior babe will be starring in the new comedy, "I Love My Wife," in which hubby Chris Rock considers straying on wife Gina.

I love science fiction movies.

Yeah, I'm not taking any credit, believe me, but this is the ONLY time I've ever gotten an e-mail reply to any (many) request(s) I've sent to HSX, whether they eventually added my movie or person, or not. Which I find odd. (The dates I find funny: does this mean "MacDaddy" has a huge old file of my e-mails?)

I hope you will consider adding the actress Gina Torres (most recently
from
"Serenity") to your bond offerings. She's beautiful, exotic, and I think

talented. Also of a currently desired ethnicity.

And a quick disclaimer: seeming e-mail links are just historical (that word just seemed cool: I didn't want to specially activate them is what I mean). AND I wrote what I hoped would be persuasive (the movie rule seems a bit arbitrary for HSX), so the "ethnicity" bit, I know, sounds maybe a little icky for us. Please don't yell at me. I thank you.

Very cool, hako. Your request had mine beat by a few months! Here's my e-mail:

D.Mac:

Hope I'm doing this correctly (apologies in advance if not).

Gina Torres plays Chris Rock's wife in "I Think I Love My Wife" http://movies.hsx.com/servlet/SecurityDetail?symbol=ITLMW
* Featured in trailer: http://www.foxsearchlight.com/ithinkilovemywife/
* In credits: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809697054/info (is this a legit source for this type of request?)

She also played the first mate in "Serenity"
http://movies.hsx.com/servlet/SecurityDetail?symbol=FRFLY
* In credits: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808583132/info

She has acted in other movies (5FING, MTRX2, MTRX3, and HSHOW) but she's pretty far down in the credits on those so I don't think that counts. Although, her name is mentioned in the HSX description of HSHOW - http://movies.hsx.com/servlet/SecurityDetail?symbol=hshow

Is this enough to get her a starbond?

Thanks,
(hsx handle: SoupCatcher)
