Bend Over FANBOYS... MAJOR SPOILERS!!! ADULT LANGUAGE!!! STAY OUT!!!

TeeJay · 26 Feb 08 :: 00:16

I'm trying to decide whether frankhuddy@aol.com really is Steven Brill. Did you guys know who Frank Huddy is? It's the character Mr. Brill played in Mighty Ducks. Would someone really create an e-mail address with the name of a character he once played? It would be like Chris signing up with the e-mail address mikebrander@aol.com.

I'm beginning to think more and more that this is just some dude taking huge pleasure in mucking us about. Has he really said anything that only Steven can know? Sure, the person writing as Brill knows a lot about the movie, but it could also just be someone at Weinstein, hired to take the mickey out of us puny foot soldiers. And if so, then we all look pretty stupid because we fell for it.

I don't really know what to think anymore...

Of course he would use that as his email address. He's a tool. And it's his big shining achievement, those movies. They were very successful for Disney. If it IS someone else in TWC, well, that's even more despicable considering the language they have used. Now matter how you slice it, it sucks. And it is definitely coming from that camp.

News from the SDW guys from their blog on MySpace:

Fellow Star Wars Fans,
Here's the latest:
Our battle to save the original version of FANBOYS was reported in Saturday's New York Post! Here's a link to the article: 'WEINSTEIN'S 'STAR WARS' - GEEKS OUTRAGED BY HOLLYWOOD BIG SHOT'S FILM ANTICS"
They even published a photo of Darth Weinstein himself!
Several other mainstream news outlets also contacted us over the weekend about our boycott of the Weinstein Company, which is already being reported on over 500 websites!
Flying Monkey Comics has published this great editorial cartoon about the Fanboys Debacle, which features a cameo by our own Jek Porkins! You can view it here.
Grand Moff Brill-o-pad continues to bash the fans online. Read a few of his email exchanges with fans here.
Check back for more exciting developments later this week! Including our plans to organize a global boycott of the Weinstein Company's next release, Superhero Movie, coming out on March 28th. If Darth Weinstein doesn't want his big budget parody flick to tank on its opening weekend, all he has to do is announce that the original version of Fanboys will be the one released. Otherwise, we're going to organize a massive Darth Weinstein protest at the LA premiere of Superhero Movie, so that all of the international press can get photos and video of the mob of angry Star Wars fans who are vowing a lifetime boycott of his studio. Should be a great photo opportunity! Stay tuned for more details!
The clock is ticking, Darth Weinstein! Until next time...
May the Force Be With You!

There's no link for the Brillo emails...

Countered a Weinstein spokesperson: "We are thrilled to see all this great interest and excitement for 'Fanboys.' While a potential conflict like this has not occurred since Luke last walked into that bar in Tatoonie, everyone can be assured that there has been no stir in the force and the film stays on target." Brian Garrity

What the frackity hell is that supposed to mean?

TeeJay · 26 Feb 08 :: 19:53

It's a typical official statement. It doesn't say anything specific. I'm not surprised. "On target" can mean anything. If they're trying to reassure people, they're not doing a great job. Where'd you get that from?

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 26 Feb 08 :: 20:11

It's the last paragraph of the NY Post article. I'm beginning to wonder if they're not just using us to drum up business for the movie that it might not otherwise draw. I'm completely certain that Fat Bastard is loving every minute of this.

TeeJay · 26 Feb 08 :: 20:16

Oh, I'm sure they're happy that they're getting lots of free promotion! Who wouldn't? I just sent an e-mail to Mr. Brill (or whoever pretends to be him). Let's see if I get an answer.

Check this out, a great response to Brillo's first e-mail from yet another fan who saw the rough cut: http://blogs.starwars.com/grahamh/11

There was more from Brill...

In true online immature flaming style, I've sent him a few e-mails with responses!
Fuck you man!
You're involved with Fanboys for nothing more than a quick buck. You don't give a damn about the movie, Star Wars or it's fans, so why the fuck did you agree to the job? Do you sleep comfortably at night knowing that you've bastardised a film that has the potential to become a cult classic for years on end into a movie which will be forgotten about in less than 6 weeks.
Little Nicky was okay, the rest sucked.
Once more, fuck you!

BRILL:
Hey Owen. You're kind of a big mouth tough guy over the internet. Wanna come say fuck you to my face? I'd be happy to give you the chance. How about this tough guy. You and I go head to head in a Star Wars Trivia contest. You think I don't care about the wars fucker? I know more about it than you can imagine. I care deeply and have been immersed in Star Wars since it came out. I was there jerk off. I still have my stub. I have seen the trilogy probably a hundred times in the theater! And you dare question my caring. You think I would do it for the money!? I did it to get the movie released! So people like you could see it. But come on. Let's prove who cares more. Five thousand dollars to the winner of a trivia contest. I'll donate my winnings to the American Cancer Society...So get ready big shot...
If you e mail me again, you better be ready to lose that five thousand.
I love you

Ritzzi:
You know what will really prove who cares more, releasing the movie the way it was intended to be shown! You got five thousand lying around doing nothing? Donate it right now, go on, move and do it! You're already not in the good books of many fans, if you wanna get in them well, the words of Obi-Wan Kebobi himself, 'You must do what you feel is right of course'.

BRILL:
Sorry dude. U said fuck you to me. I aint stoppin til u apologize or u take my challenge. I want your money donated. And I will match it. Come on fool. U know so much. U coward

You may not have noticed, but your target demographic don't tend to have five thousand lying around.

You can raise it through your network of friends who you speak for. No questions over the internet. Live only. I will fly to where you live and we can do it where ever you want. But you will either accept the challenge or apologize for sending me an e mail that said "fuck you".......which is it gonna be tough guy?
Ritzzi:
I think you have better things to do, one of them being fixing this movie?

magicalturkey · 26 Feb 08 :: 20:57

I refuse to take him seriously. Simply because of his overuse of u for you. Nothing annoys me more than an (apparently) professional person using netspeak.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 26 Feb 08 :: 22:07

So he's lazy as well as rude and not terribly bright. Yeah, I wanna run out and see every movie he's ever had anything to do with.

TeeJay · 26 Feb 08 :: 22:52

Yay, where can I line up to see the Brill version of Fanboys??? I wanna see it sooooo badly now!!!

-TeeJay

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 27 Feb 08 :: 00:22

Who would take that guy seriously when he doesn't even know what proper grammar and spelling is?!

TeeJay · 27 Feb 08 :: 00:29

Ernie posted a new blog. Will read it tomorrow: http://www.ernestcline.com/blog/

Also, IESB and Collider are running stories on the campaign now too:

Awesome!

The IESB piece is great. One of the best articles I've seen so far.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 27 Feb 08 :: 03:58

Got this from on high. Kyle Newman is still the director of record on Fanboys. Brill was brought in only temporarily. Kyle is still involved. If you see any credits anywhere that list Brill as the director, please email that site and request that they correct it.

TeeJay · 27 Feb 08 :: 23:08

Hey, I'm reading this great thread about the recent changes on a German Star Wars board, and someone wrote to Brill and got an answer:

Dear Mr. Brill
In the original version of the film Starwars-fans were shown as nice, funny, cooperative people. They want to get into the Skywalker-Ranch because their friend, who dies because of cancer, wouldn't be able to see the film otherwise. I think, like many other fans and potential watchers, too, that this is a film with a heart, a soul. Some people from our community, which saw the original film in London, knew people who died 'cause of cancer. NO ONE thought that the film makes fun of cancer. Sorry, I don't want to offend you, but most of the fans think that the new version is a brainless B-Movie... And i want to know something: If the film is "From fans for fans" - why do you change it to such a trash? Hey, everybody thinks so! Really, almost everyone from the fandom has this opinion. Please, tell us: Why did you change the film???
Sincerely & waiting for an answer
The German Guy.

You, German guy, are the victim of incorrect thinking. The "original version" that everyone is talking about is a 45 minute version of clips from the movie. None of these people have seen the entire full length "cancer" version. Please find me someone who has. And as far as the "new cut" again, none of you people who claim it is brainless or without heart have seen it. That is the whole point of my e mail. I am a bigger fan than you, German Guy. Trust me. I want a good movie. And more importantly I want a movie that can be released in theaters.

So Brill is assuming they didn't show the whole movie at Celebration Europe? I think he's wrong. Can anyone support this? They showed 45 minutes of clips at C IV, I think, but the whole thing at C Europe.

That guy is a total jerk!! Its like he's trying to make people think they're wrong simply for having a different opinion. I hate people like that!! Everything he said is just ignorance...

I posted his lie on IMDb. Let's see how long it takes before he has it deleted. I'm gonna email MindVault so he can stand up for those people who DID see the whole movie at CE.

TeeJay · 27 Feb 08 :: 23:49

I saw. If it gets deleted, we'll repost it. Simple as that. We're nothing if not tenacious.

You damn skippy!

TeeJay · 27 Feb 08 :: 23:59

Oh, and by the way... we're almost convinced the Fanboys MySpace page is run by someone at TWC. Why else would they have taken out any mention of Kyle Newman. It now says "directed by Steven Brill" and "a movie by Steven Brill" all over. The name Steven Brill is mentioned four or five times on their front page. And they've probably only added the SDW page as friends to spy and/or pretend they're in favor of the campaign. How despicable. And to think people go to that page in hopes of finding current and true information there.

I'm sorry, but for a spokesman for Fanboys, he could've at least spelled 'Tatooine' right.
