That's right! Now you can enjoy the pleasure of FilmWise in a board game!

It's available now, just in time for the holidays! Check out the details... |

We're back! Finally! After all the crap we've gone through over the past couple of weeks, FilmWise is back at full strength! Well, actually, we've done some spring cleaning, so long-time users will see that some content has been archived. But other than that, we're back! |
| |
The Boyz wanna thank everyone for their support, both moral and especially financial, in getting us through this national crisis. It's nice to see that people like the site enough to help out. We're all weepy and everything. We'd also like to thank Peak Web Hosting for giving us our new home. (Rent has gone up considerably, but it's worth it!) |

So...Thanks and have fun! |

FilmWise isn't feeling too well at the moment. It seems that we've grown too big for our britches. Our traffic has been steadily increasing of late, and yesterday we had 2,000,000 hits (!) which, it turns out, our hosting service can't handle. This is a problem The Boyz never foresaw having when we launched the site 18 months ago for fun. Pretty cool problem to have, but it also kinda sucks. Anyway, we're in the process of switching our hosting plan, and we'll have the site back to normal as soon as possible. Sorry about the inconvenience, we know you've come to rely on your Invisibles. |

Looks like we've started a trend, as the Radio Days are continuing here at FilmWise. People in the Chicago area can tune in to hear an interview with The Boyz on WGN Radio (720 on your AM dial) Sunday night at midnight (central time). Nick Digilio is our host and this time we'll have about half an hour of air time, and we'll even be fielding calls from listeners. So if you're around Chicago, give us a call. Or just listen and stuff. |

Well, it looks like FilmWise has hit the big time! KROX (101FM) in Austin, Texas will be interviewing The Boyz live on their MorningX show this coming Friday. Okay, so it's not quite the Leno Show, but then again, who's interviewing you? NOBODY! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Hoo! |
| |
If you're in the Austin area, tune in around 8:30am Central Time (that's 6:30am Nipples Time, yikes!) and check it out. Or, for non-Texans, try listening through www.krox.com if you can figure out how. (I couldn't, but I'm dumb.) We're told that KROX does not have a delay, so everything that flies out of StudBoy's potty mouth is gonna reach the ears of KROX's innocent listeners. Parents beware. |

Contest #13: Barbie and Ken Go to the Movies is officially over. We gave you a few extra days, cuz we're nice and stuff. And cuz we're lazy and stuff. We received 1,628 entries for the contest and The Boyz are currently wading through the stack to find our winner, which we'll announce next week. Thanks to everyone who participated! Look for Contest #14 to be up around the middle of the month. |

An apologetic message from The Boyz: Due to an extended Aspen excursion - complete with sun, fun, volleyball, loose women and booze (minus the loose women...rats!) - Invisibles #91 will be delayed until Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. We hope you can forgive us. |
| 8/26: |
We've got a special treat for you this week with Invisibles #90: The Double Issue! That's right, this week you get twice the Invisible pleasure! Why? Because the Boyz are stupid! Also cuz we want to reward all of you loyal FilmWise fans for your dedication and stuff. Please understand that this is a one-time only event, as we had to bust our butts to get this one done, and we're dang tired. So enjoy this week's Invisibles extravaganza! We've also posted the answers and top scores for Invisibles #89. |

| 8/5: |
The Boyz received an email from Scary Kitty Project who praised our site, but pointed out the over-abundance of testosterone-laden movies. We politely explained that The Boyz are a testosterone-laden, weapon-packing pair who tend to avoid the proverbial "chick flick." And since we are pretty much limited to using the movies we actually own, the images we use tend to stick to our tastes. However, in an effort to please SKP and our more effeminate fans, we promised SKP a "chick flicks" Invisibles quiz and we skipped (in a very manly way) over to Blockbuster. |
| |
Thus, Invisibles #87: Chick Flicks is now up and active. Enjoy, ladies! We've also posted the answers and top scores for Invisibles #86. |

Invisibles #86 is now up and active, and we've posted the answers and top scores for Invisibles #85. It appears that we've gone too easy on you FilmWisers of late, as way too many of you are getting perfect scores. Hopefully, we've made things a little tougher this week. |

The Boyz would like to congratulate Jennifer O'Brien for winning Contest #12: Author! Author!

We've posted the entire list of scores for you to check out. |

We've got Contest #13 almost ready to go and it promises to be a real doozie. We're not sure what qualifies as an official doozie, but we've had our eye on this contest for a while, and it's got real potential. We'll post it July 19th, so stay tuned! |

StudBoy sees "Attack of the Clones"! |
| |
StudBoy, seen below in an artist's rendering, was lucky enough to receive an invitation to a press screening of "Star Wars: Episode II"! |
| |
(Nipples is not fortunate enough to live in a podunk city in Kansas where they have to beg people to come to press screenings, so he doesn't get invited to such events. He might be a little bitter.) |
| |
 |
| |
How was it? "Awesome!" It's not clear if he was referring to the actual movie or to the overall experience, since we're not allowed to release a review until Thursday, when the movie opens up to the public. |
| |
Check out Chapter One of his write-up of the event, and we'll post his review of the movie in Chapter Two on Thursday. |

Happy Mother's Day! |

The Boyz have oft been accused of being Mamas' Boyz. Well, we freely admit it and we're damn proud of it. So we've put up Mama Mia!, a tribute to our mommies and to mommies everywhere. We love you, moms! (And we give an extra nod to Mrs. StudBoy and Baby Bri, as this is their first Mother's Day ever. Congrats!!) |

Invisibles #74 is now up and active, and we've posted the answers and top scores for Invisibles #73. Looks like The Boyz were a bit tougher on you last week, as only seven people got perfect scores and only ten others were one off the mark. HA! We win! (For a change.) |

FilmWise Goes Widescreen! |
| |
We've gotten several emails from you diehard movie fans asking us why our images don't follow the movie theater aspect ratio. And the only answer The Boyz could come up with was: "Because." But since we cater to the movie aficionado, we've made the leap! Starting with this week's tribute to Tiger Woods, Invisibles #72: Eye of the Tiger (Woods), all of our Invisibles (and maybe the regular visual puzzles) will come to you in anamorphic, (almost 16x9) widescreen format. Woo hoo! (Or big deal, depending on your point of view.) We've also posted the answers and top scores for Invisibles #71. |
| 4/22: |
In addition to our regularly-scheduled Invisibles quiz, we've posted User-Created Invisibles #3, the latest group of Invisibles created entirely by our FilmWise faithful. Thanks to everyone who submitted images! |

Happy Birthday FilmWise! |
| |
FilmWise turns 1 year old today, and the Boyz couldn't be more proud! StudBoy got a little emotional, and he still looks like Halle Barry accepting an Oscar. (Except he's not quite as pretty.) Nipples was so excited he completely passed out. And we owe it all to you, our fans. Thanks for making this past year the crazy, fun-filled ride it's been. Hopefully there'll be many more years of FilmWise-ing to come. |

FilmWise's first-ever tournament has come to a close and we have a winner! The Boyz congratulate Mary Louise Smythe, who was the only contestant to get a perfect score through all three rounds of the tournament! She's definitely sick, as we had some images in there that nobody had a right getting correct! Mary Louise will pick up almost $200 for her efforts. |
| |
The Boyz would like to thank the 150+ tournament contestants, we hope you got your money's worth. And if you missed this tournament, never fear. The response was very positive, which pretty much ensures that we'll have another one down the road. |

| |
We ended up giving everybody credit for the "Pi"/"American Pie" image, because it was just too dang vague. We received a ton of very creative answers, including such gems as "The Black Hole" and "The Object of My Affection." |

| |
Things were apparently tougher this month, as only 22 entries came in with perfect scores (after removing all of the entries with duplicate email addresses) out of 1,618 entries. Brian's name was drawn out of the sacred FilmWise hat, so he will receive a DVD of his choice. Thanks to all who participated. |
