That Brill-Solo shirt is hilarious!

oh, and I'm not aware of any kinda of protest here in town, but I know that none of us here are seeing that piece of SuperHero caca. It's an old and overused formula guys. Leave the spoofs to SNL.

Happy Easter everybody!! Have a fun weekend!!

:rofl:

Yea, that dude is such a dork.

If this true, it is awesome news. I was curious how the REAL GL felt about all this and it's good to hear he has an opinion on it. and if he isn't happy about a project dealing with Star Wars, then it's not gonna happen.

That's a good one!

Hello there Annie!!
Welcome aboard!

Right on,
I was trying to find someone who watched it over on the Star Wars Forums, but I had forgotten about Mindvault.
In case anyone's curious, here's the thread over on the Fan Force pages about the boycott:

...and the 'Wine-Stain' one has been deleted. C-ya!

Consider it done!

oh what the heck, here it is:

:lol:

That's the thing, SW fans WILL love this movie as it was intended. I have no idea how many SW fans there are but it's got to be in the millions. You name any profession and you'll find a SW fan in it. Doctors, lawyers, accountants, IT guys, contractors, gas station attendants, the kid cooking your burger. We're everywhere. We're loyal. We're internet-saavy.We are intelligent. We're everyday people with friends and families.--and we pump billions of dollars into the entertainment business. 
So the answer to 'cleaning' up a movie (that thousands of my fellow Star Wars fans gave a standing O to, as well as a movie that I saw a large part of) is to remove the human element from it?  You want to 'dirty' it up and add more nudity, and f-bombs to it? Well, the Star Wars movies obviously had lots of nudity and profanity in it, so the fans will love 'my' dumbed-down version. :angry:
I'm sorry, but these kinds of movies are for drunk frat boys and teens with nothing better to watch and they're released straight to video with titles such as , "American Pie: Naked Mile" and "Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj".
I don't expect a masterpiece from a comedy, but I do not want my intelligence insulted either.

That being said, I understand that there's gonna be some bias when SW fans watch a movie about SW fans. But you must understand that we as SW fans will not just accept any ol' 'fanfilm' and embrace it. We will speak out against it if we don't like something, for example: Jar Jar Binks, Greedo Shooting First, etc..
If Fanboy's wasn't really that good, we wouldn't be praising it.
To also address the non-SW fans. I honestly believe that an (edit) NON-SW fan could appreciate this film. Same way that someone who doesn't listen to KISS could like Detroit Rock City, or someone who doesn't like bowling could like Kingpin. I don't have to like NASCAR in order to like Talledega Nights. These probably aren't the best examples, but you hopefully get my point.

"No one wanted to dumb it down, rip out its heart and throw it into the mulitplex....The cancer element as shot, makes the movie pre digestible, predictable, embarrassing and lame. And if released would be met with a chorus of insane bad reviews bad boxoffice and Kyle Newman would never work again."

Bad Reviews?? Granted, this is Mr. Little Nicky/Heavyweights we're talking about here, so he must have some experience with Bad Reviews, but c'mon.  Kyle never working again? That really pisses me off right there. Look at his example of Revenge of the Nerds being cancelled. He tries not to blame Kyle for this, but at the same time he blames Kyle.  This guy, Brill, is garbage. I honestly hope that nice guys like Kyle are able to thrive in a business that is made up of no-talent, pieces of trash like Brill. No wonder 'Hollywood' is in so much trouble.
