Harry Jay Knowles was trying to come up with a name for his newly formed movie news web site and had seen Broken Arrow earlier that day. He had been repeating a line of Travoltas all day. Jokingly his father J. Jay Knowles said "Why not call it Aint It Cool News?" They looked at each other for a split second then Harry exclaimed, "Thats it! Well call it Aint It Cool"and an Internet institution was born in Feb. 1996. Thats a true story... Aint it Cool?.
