Win a Meet Bill Poster Signed by Aaron Eckhart!
Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on July 16, 2008
Yet again I come to you with something that ties into The Dark Knight — that is just how this week is going to go, so deal with it. As you know, Aaron Eckhart stars in The Dark Knight as Harvey Dent, the man who eventually transforms into the split personalitied psychopath Two-Face. But did you also know that he has another movie coming out — it is called Meet Bill and I can already tell you that it is leaps and bounds better than Eddie Murphy’s Meet Dave. In Meet Bill, Eckhart stars as a man who is fed up with his crappy job and his cheating whore of a wife and decides to mentor a rebellious teen. It’s not The Dark Knight, I know, but Eckhart is a damn fine actor, making this one at least worth a shot. It hit DVD shelves this week, so you have your chance.
To entice you to check it out, we’ve scored two (2) autographed posters for the film to give away. And while they are unfortunately not signed by Eckhart’s hot co-stars Jessica Alba or Elizabeth Banks, they are signed by Harvey Dent himself.

If you were mentoring a rebellious teenager, what is the first lesson you would teach them?
Meet Bill is on DVD Now, so check it out!

I would give the same advice that my grandfather gave me when I was young:
You do not want to go through life as a hussy, like Marilyn Monroe.

Show them the numbers about how much more you make with a college degree than with just a high school diploma (averaging over a million $ more http://www.ericdigests.org/2003-3/value.htm), and explain what it takes to get into college and why they better straighten up.
