A few weeks ago I read, and reviewed, a book for Packt. As my reward I was given the choice of any book I'd like. At the time, there wasn't anything that interested me. So I asked if I could give away a copy of Matt Gifford's OO Programming in ColdFusion book and was told that would be fine.
So... to keep this nice and simple, here is how the giveaway will work. Post a comment (ensure you use your real email address, only I will see it) that answers this question: "The only thing that would make a movie with robots and giant monsters better would be ...." Don't stress too much over this as I'll be picking a winner by random selection, but you must answer the question. I'll pick a winner Wednesday. Enjoy.

a movie house that serves various meals to your table but the meal of choice is a 2 inch thick steak grilled to perfection and served with a pile of mashed tatter drenched in garlic and butter with a few steamed veggies on the side for presentation and health critics served with a tall and easily refillable cold draft beer of your choice (or wine if you're so inclined).
