One Dollar Challenge presents: "Just Once"

Introducing a new feature here on Life In Idle, the One Dollar Challenge. Here's how it works: I find something that "people are saying" that really bugs me, and I offer up one dollar to anyone who can prove that what they're saying is true. I will literally buy a stamp and an envelope and mail you a dollar bill if you successfully call my bluff. It's not much, I know, just think of it as a symbolic victory, made all the sweeter because I obviously think I'm right.

The first entry in the One Dollar Challenge should give you a pretty good idea of the type of challenge I'm talking about, so let's get to it.

I recently watched the movie Once for the first time. After watching it I popped online to see what kinds of things people had said about it. On IMDB, of course, people had all kinds of very strong opinions, both good and bad. One of the most common negative comments was that the music was too simple and/or not very good. Fair enough, we're all entitled to our opinions, but then this comment caught my attention:

Everytime [sic], he played his music to someone, they would be at an [sic] awe in the first few notes played

That came from this page (this is part of the forum, you'll have to register to read it).

The challenge is to find me one time, just once (natch), that someone in this movie got all googly eyed after only a few notes. It doesn't happen at any time in the movie. Not even once.

I'm confident I'll be holding on to that dollar.
