But at least their cinematic caveman commercial saw some ad-time in early 2000, eh?

The idea was born out of an advertising campaign that my partner and I developed for homestore in 1999. There were actually 6 TV commercials (included on the DVD, but never aired nationally) that were meant to market the homestore.com brand. The film came about as a natural extension of the documentary-type TV spots. I wish I had seen Wolff in courtroom that day. It's good to see he will pay a price for his legendary arrogance.

I met the alligator guy that night (forgot his name). The movie was interesting I think this was made at the height of Wolff's ego ride. I remember him sitting on stage in a director's chair rubbing his hands together with his "I'm king of the world grin". I saw a picture of him going into the courtroom a couple weeks ago for the verdict in his trial a much different man then at Inman in 2000. During the hurricane that hit Louisiana I actually wondered if the alligator man and his house made it. Dustin,
