Starbucks and MamaPop Want You To Have an Espresso Maker ***Contest Closed***r

STARBUCKS FRAPPUCCINO

***Contest Closed*** Sometimes you want a new, better puppy with added tail-wagging power.  Sometimes you want a robotic hand and your own Dance Dance Revolution machine. And sometimes you just want a kick-ass cup of espresso.  Well, Starbucks and MamaPop want to give you a gorgeous espresso maker to celebrate the launch of Starbucks Vanilla Frappuccino Light (50% fewer calories and 60% less sugar)! Because one out of three ain't bad.  Contest details after the jump!

First, you will ask me: Palinode, is this espresso maker awesome? And I say: awesome? This biznatch is orange:

In order to win this decidedly excellent Ascaso Espresso Maker with a value of $550, all you need to do is answer my fiendishly not-very-difficult trivia question:

Q: What film director has his very own signature brand of coffee?

BONUS Q!: What is your favorite film by said director and why?

Leave your answer in the comments, ONE ENTRY PER PERSON.  The contest is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada and will run until noon on Tuesday, April 6th, after which time one lucky commenter gets the Ascaso Espresso Maker, sent to you direct by catapult. Or something. I don't know every last detail.

Also, because we like you and we want your choice of sweet flavoured coffee beverage to be healthier than falling down an elevator shaft, feel free to grab a coupon for $1 off your next Starbucks Vanilla Frappuccino Light below.

David Lynch

Carey

Paul Newman - Newman's Own coffee!

Heather

David Lynch. DUNE, baby. But probably because I love that damn book so much.

Laurel

David Lynch! Dune! Want coffee!

ozma

David Lynch. David Lynch. David Lynch.

Mulholland Drive: I'm still thinking about it. But how many works of art are intellectual puzzles that make you laugh at random moments? It's sort of worked into my life in some way. I'll be telling someone a dream I had and then I'll remember the scene where the guy in the diner tells the other guy the dream. And the scary guy pops up from behind the dumpster. Only he's not so scary. And I'll find myself laughing about this for several days.

OK, maybe that's not a good reason. I should have said: The cowboy. I love it for the cowboy.

Come to think of it there is a brilliant espresso scene IN Mulholland Drive. That I relate to, because I am kind of picky, although I hide it.

Girls kissing. But maybe I shouldn't go into that.

Dammit, I hate these contests. All the groveling. I told myself I would always resist.

jennifer

david lynch. elephant man

angela

David Lynch. Don't have a favorite, can I still win? :)

Amy (Not Amalah)

David Lynch

Blue Velvet.

And I. So. Want!

susan

david lynch, blue velvet for big screen, Twin Peaks if television counts.

Kate

1) David Lynch

2) 2) Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me because it is visually interesting, the characters are fascinating and iconic, and it takes place in my backyard (I live in the NW).

mstiegirl

David Lynch! Mulholland Dr! Thanks!

Somedayphd

I guess David Lynch, but I prefer Paul Newman.

Favorite movie - Wild At Heart, but definitely Twin Peaks, if television counts.

Krista

Google sez David Lynch. I'm not sure I've ever seen any of his movies but can I pick Twin Peaks? I watched that! (Plus wasn't eventually a movie?)

bkdbean

david lynch... mullholland drive is a pretty good choice albeit very odd like most of his works. :)

Somedayphd

I guess I forgot the why...
Two lines

1. Did I ever tell ya that this here jacket represents a symbol of my individuality, and my belief in personal freedom?

2. You got me hotter than Georgia asphalt.

Maria

David Lynch.

Confession: Dune is the only one I like.

Carol (@kaseandannasmom)

David Lynch, baby. I'm such a Twin Peaks junkie.

Becca

David Lynch. Probably Mulholland Drive.

Julia

Coffee need coffee. Um answer is ... David Lynch. YAwn.

Julia

Favorite film? Dune! loved those blue eyes.

Sarah

David Lynch
Elephant Man, simply because I love Anthony Hopkins!

Anjie B.

David Lynch. I wonder if they sell it here in Utah? Probably not.

kilowatthour

all signs point to david lynch. (i bet his coffee is unnerving.)
dune is my favorite.
also partial to blue velvet, and naturally twin peaks. lost highway freaked my shit right out.

heidi

Have to go with David Lynch and the first movie of his I ever saw (at much too young an age) - Blue Velvet.

Jen H.

David Lynch
Blue Velvet because it's so deliciously weird.

Also, I gasped out loud when I saw that espresso machine. *grabby hands*

ashton

David Lynch. My favorite is Mulholland Drive.

Heidi T

David Lynch and Dune is awesome!

Pat Knight

Like everyone else said, David Lynch.

I'm gonna can Eraserhead, because that movie was creepy as all hell.

Shoe Gal

David Lynch, Blue Velvet

Lynn

David Lynch. I'm afraid to try his coffee. I loved Twin Peaks, and watched it to the bitter end...and the movie Fire: Walk With Me left me scarred for life. So I'd call that a favourite :).

Deenuts Dana

David Lynch

Mudholland Drive!

Linda :)

David Lynch -- The Straight Story

Teri C

David Lynch, and my fav movie of his would be Dune. I could never read through all of the book series but I could sit with a lot of coffee and ignore my ex and watch that movie over and over again because he hated it. He was a matrix man, and man, Dune was slamming your head on the wall for him and it was great.
I need to get me some of that coffee to go with that nice espresso machine that I could win. T

Margot

David Lynch has his own line of coffee. My fav. would be Wild at Heart ... can't beat a combo of Nick Cage and Laura Dern.

divrchk

David Lynch and my husband would kill me if I didn't say Dune.

Linda R

David Lynch....The Elephant Man

Linda R

David Lynch ... Mulholland Drive

onlywords2playw

1. David Lynch
2. Elephant Man
Why? Last lines:
Merrick's Mother: Never. Oh, never. Nothing will die. The stream flows, the wind blows, the cloud fleets, the heart beats. Nothing will die.

Janna

David Lynch- and Lost Highway... because I went on a first date with my ex to see that... THAT was an interesting first date.

AnEmily

David Lynch. Blue Velvet! I want to watch it again right now.

Meghan

David Lynch!

Whit

David Lynch and Elephant Man, because I am not an animal.

Also, Wild at Heart because come on, crappy acting from Nic Cage plus the Wizard of Oz AND Elvis? In one movie? That's the movie equivalent of eating chocolate-covered bacon on a stick... with Nic Cage.

Kirsten

Should I cover my bases & guess David Lynch AND Paul Newman??

Anyhoo - Blue Velvet b/c it gave my hubs a lifelong appreciation for the woman who doesn't look like... Jennifer Aniston.

Jennie

David Lynch! Favorite film would have to be, hmmm...Mulholland Drive, of course.

Amy

David Lynch. I could lie but I think the truth is, I've never seen any of his movies.

Rebecca

David Lynch. I don't actually know that... just following the other comments cause I really want that machine.

habanerogal

I dig Mulholland Drive by David Lynch for the Kim Basinger performance

Marilyn @ A Lot of Loves

David Lynch "By will alone I set my mind in motion." LOVE Dune!

KBO

David Lynch. Can I count Twin Peaks? If not, I pick Mulholland Drive.

Emily

David Lynch

Well Twin Peaks the series would have to be the most favouritest thing ev.ah he's done (not the movie - the movie sucked cacapoopoo) but film wise it would have to be Wild at Heart because it repulsed me and drew me in at the same time. And because I can never ever look at Willem Dafoe and not see his character in that film - its like Lynch etched that character on me with acid!

KarenJ

David Lynch - I too am one of those people who only cared for Dune. It's the only one that didn't leave me hopelessly WTF when it was over.

Angie

David Lynch, and "Blue Velvet" because I remain creeped out to this day.

Jane Devin

This is kismet, this is fate,
I love my beans, I love David Lynch, world-renowned director and bean roaster. My favorite movie of his is Elephant Man. "I am not an elephant! I am not an animal! I am a human being!" Coincidentally, I wrote a story called Elephant Girls that was rooted in that feeling of outsidedness. See? Kismet.
Besides, Klout tells me I'm a Starbucks fanatic. They offered to send me tiny, free samples. I eschew plain coffee for fresh lattes, though -- triple Venti, with skim milk, please.

Keli

I know it's David Lynch. But, I totally wish it was Quentin Tarantino. And it would be called Grindhouse. (I know. That was lame.)

My favorite David Lynch film is obviously Blue Velvet because it's so god damn sick.

toquegirl

David Lynch, both answers.

Also, my 7 month old requests that momma get the espresso maker. She's kind of a bi#ch in the mornings.

sherry

David Lynch!

And also you guys ROCK because you included the Canadians in this. We NEVER get to win stuff on the Internet so you're all awesome, the end.

Carmen

David Lynch. Don't have a favorite film of his.

DeadRobot

That would be David Lynch. My fave? Dune!

As the Paul Atredies once said:

I must drink esspreso. Esspreso is the mind-killer. Esspreso is the little-death that brings total obliteration to grogginess. I will drink my Esspreso. I will permit it to pass over my gullet and through me (poot!). And when my Esspreso is gone I will turn and face Esspreso's path, and only I will remain.

Slightly more awake.

Mary P (Barnmaven)

David Lynch...and Dune will always be my favorite of his movies.

Tara

David Lynch....

Going to have to go with Blue Velvet! My 8-year old self would be proud.

Dare

Dude is a freak, but David Lynch and Blue Velvet

anna

David Lynch.

I don't actually have a favorite film by him yet, but my late Drama Lit teacher (RIP Kriley) used Blue Velvet for one of our projects, and always had good gossip about Lynch since he'd been at University of Montana at some point.

Breanna

David Lynch Dune

Leigh

David Lynch is the answer. But I dont really care for his films. I very much disliked Mulholland Drive. As much as I would like to lie and just pick a film as my favorite - I just can't lie to my mamapop peeps.....

Rose R

David Lynch. Favorite film - Wild at heart - why... Because it stared Nick Cage! Thanks!

Alex

I'm a sucker for a contest! The answer, if those above me are correct, is David Lynch. Thanks!

Amber Gibson

David Lynch does and my favorite movie of his is Wild at Heart!

Melanie

David Lynch. Mulholland Drive.
I really need the coffee!

Danielle Koch

David Lynch of course! Hard to pick, but I have to say. . . .WILD AT HEART!!!! That orange espresso maker would SOOOOOO match my new rug! I needz it!

Danielle Koch

David Lynch of course! Hard to pick, but I have to say. . . .WILD AT HEART!!!! That orange espresso maker would SOOOOOO match my new rug! I needz it!

kelly

david lynch (and meh-i liked twin peaks....)

Tamara

Apparently the answer is David Lynch, but I don't even know if I have seen any of his movies, so I doubt I have a favourite. Does that take me out of the running?

Jocelyn

David Lynch, Dune

Sean

David Lynch. Dune is probably my favorite. Gotta love scary little Alicia Witt, strange, fat, floating, Kenneth McMillan, and of course Sting.

Anna Ironside

David Lynch. Mulholland Drive was the only film of his that I've seen that I've remotely understood, so it's my favorite!

Katie

David Lynch - Eraserhead, mostly for the cover. Who doesn't love the Tim Robbins-looking-dude with that crazy ass hair?

Katie

Also - The Elephant Man. That is my real answer.

diamondcait

The David Lynch answer is Wild at Heart, because of a fabulous snakeskin jacket. The Paul Newman answer is Cool Hand Luke, because nobody can eat 50 hard boiled eggs. But I have a soft spot for The Sting, because he wears overalls in it, and I LOVED with pink puffy hearts Twin Peaks.

Turk

David Lynch... but I had to google that. Does it still count if I don't have a favorite David Lynch movie?

Kristen

David Lynch

Abby

David Lynch. Favorite movie - Dune! mostly because I'm a nerd and partly because it has Sting

sarah-e

uh... David Lynch.
uh... Twin Peaks!! and Dune.
because there's nothing else like them.

Cb

David Lynch.

And I guess it would be Mullholland Drive, but only because of the "Llorando" scene.

Stef

David Lynch! Fave thing he's done is Twin Peaks.

Samantha M.

David Lynch - Dune!
