Movie Bunker:
It first started out as www.whenfridaycomes.co.uk - so called because of the Sean Bean film When Saturday Comes - which I have never seen! Why Friday then?
Because it's the day films are released in the UK. So, I loved it when Friday came because it meant it was the weekend and I could hit the movies.
By the way, never start a sentence with 'because'.
The initial idea was to talk about cinema presentation - which we did - but that would have made it too wordy and we needed pictures. So, I had the idea to introduce cinema
pictures. Very nerdy don't you think?! The cinema pictures got the hits that
give us our current excellent ranking.
I really don't remember when I first had the idea to make fake movie pictures
except to say
that I messed around with the Magic Wand tool in a picture editor and realized it was very easy to remove parts of a picture, leaving a transparent background.
The very first picture I experimented with? It was ex Atomic Kitten Natasha Hamilton! A studio shot, she was posed in front of a completely white backdrop. I clicked on the background with the magic wand,
hit delete and I was left with just Natasha.
After Inserting her image on to another I realized the potential of combining the two images
and so began the fake pictures. Over 100 fakes later...
I came to dislike the whenfridaycomes domain and decided I needed a more commercial sounding name. Lots of the domain names I liked had already been registered, but out of my list of around 20 desired domains Movie Bunker was available.
