Who's seen the movie "Pi"?
I thought it was very good.

What I like best is the way Aronofsky (the producer/director) got the money. He asked everyone he new for fifty bucks, promising them that he would pay back 100 bucks. He ended up with $60,000 , and made a movie better than "Titanic."

I haven't seen it but did he ever give his freinds each $100?

I think that the director sold the rights to New Line Cinema for one million.

Pi is about a genius that can predict stuff like the stock market using the number * (pi). It's out on video, so you can probably get it at a video rental place.

I bought the movie and I think it's pure genus. If you have a dvd player get it on D.V.D. becase it has trailers,director commentary,actor commentary, lost scenes, behind the scenes , music video, and producton notes.

All times are ET (US)
