Master of your own Domain Name

I'm posting this because I'm waiting for WoSaT DVD to burn so I can spread the good cheer of a great movie.

Given that last night great things were given to me, specifically
ASSWAR.com, I want to list all the things I registered over the fall/winter. I start Spring with a full slate of domains I don't care to part with.

Here's the collection of "properties" related to the cinematic output of Anthony Torres Presents, LLC:
Asswar.com (I used to call the movie Asswar, but it'll be 2 words now. Folks say As-swar. It's Ass War.)
Asswar.net
Asswar.org (this was the very first domain I was able to collect when I saw a photo my brother sent that had what seemed to be "Ass war" graffiti. It turned out to be far less inspired Class War. But Ass War fits the movie. The .com and .net were locked up by someone else, but they were going to be dropped. Well, they dropped around Thanksgiving 07 but I couldn't pick them up. Around Xmas 07 I picked up Asswar.net. And on March 11, I was given Asswar.com by fluke name check. Weird.

Ass-war.com This was a desperation registration. Dash domains are a compromise.

Azzwar.com (Wow! Total cover your ass. Frankly, I have a speech impediment. I slur my "s" so it sounds like "sh." Pain in the Asshhh I tell you. AzzWar might be what I tell folks about. Just easier on me. It's a touchy subject, speech impediments... I don't like to talk about it.
AzzWar.net (For advertising purposes. This is Cover Your Ass domain, as most forums will block you if you use the word ass. So Azz is the censor robot safeword for ass. Got .net because I was thinking ...
Azwar.org Less interesting to me now that I have Asswar.com

Anoguerra.com (This is the highbrow / low brow latin american title. Ano is not Año. Yet, folks would assume Año guerra, which means year of war. You can't use the ñ for domain names... Alas, it has been proven to me that folks need stuff spoon fed to them. Within the USA, spanish title movies don't get out there. They just don't. So I figure Ass War says enough. But when we do the Argentinian remake, I have the website locked. )

Arsewar.com This is for the U.K. remake.

Mata Pinata.com Goes against my prior statement. Pinata is known to all Americans. There's no american word for Piñata. It's just Piñata. They'll have to deal with it. Ass War seems to be a harder sell, so all barriers to entry I can remove, well, I'll remove.
PinataProject.com
Pinataz.com

Cell Your Soul.com
Cell My Soul.com Given that you could say "My soul... your soul..." I figured cover the confusion and have both. Mobile my soul doesn't have the same pun/ring to it. You can't count on folks to figure anything out. For some reason I'm not a fan of the "A film by..." credit. It seems pointless. Alas, if you do NOT use that, folks will not know that you're making a movie. That's why I put "Screenwriter/Director," because "writer/director" could very well be a play. Self labeling is control of perception. Anways, since I thought of My and Your, I covered the bases rather than be the dude who complicates his life needlessly with quirks others don't understand. It's a hard fight to get someone to watch your movie. Don't lose the fight by demanding that folks think before watching. Assume intelligence proves you to be the fool.


BarrioBoys.com : Si, lo tengo.

Chupacabron.com Oh, it's the Puerto Rican movie I'll make in a few years. See, it's like predator in puerto rico... I should watch predator.
