Scene-Stealers
www.scene-stealers.com

What started out as a rock n’ roll version of Siskel & Ebert on cable access TV will come full circle in 2009 as Scene-Stealers.com launches the 2.0 version of its popular offbeat movie website this Spring.

Rock-drummer-turned-legit-film-critic Eric Melin will be the community manager of the “Scene Stealers,” a group of unruly movie fans from across the globe who obsess over movies day and night. Scene-Stealers.com will be a fully interactive social-networking site where movie lovers can showcase their passionate hostility and take charge by rating films, reviewing films, making movie lists, building personal profiles, and finding people with similar tastes.

All information from the Scene-Stealers community will be aggregated on the site, and by ignoring celebrity gossip and focusing on the content of the movies, Scene-Stealers.com will be the place to go for intelligent, informed, and off-the-wall opinions about movies. Ever wonder how that line gets drawn in the sand between a “credible” critic and everyone else? We are going to kick it right back in the faces of anyone who doesn’t think our opinions about movies matter. We’re the ones they make them for, after all. Now it’s their turn to listen to us.

Harpoon Brewery
www.harpoonbrewery.com

Harpoon Brewery began in 1986 because - like today - its founders loved beer and wanted more good choices. While traveling in Europe after college, they drank many wonderfully diverse, fresh, local beers. They also saw firsthand how important local breweries were to their communities. After their travels, the group asked each other, “why not bring great beer and that sense of community to New England?” That was the genesis of the Harpoon Brewery.

Twenty years later Harpoon still revels in making great beer and sharing that joy with their friends and neighbors. The success that they have had running Harpoon is due entirely to the wonderful employees who brew, package, warehouse, sell, deliver, and market our beer and you, the people who drink Harpoon. They hope that their sense of gratitude is reflected in both the quality of the beer and the spirit of fun and enjoyment surrounding Harpoon’s beer and breweries.
