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

magicalturkey · 28 Mar 08 :: 03:43

I would, but my friends on myspace are all mindless drones who think if they don't repost a bulletin in five seconds a clown will skin them alive when they go to sleep and they'll never be loved again I love them but... yeah, they won't care or help.

But don't worry, I already got the word around to my friends that will help

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Mar 08 :: 03:58

Mine won't care either. That's not the point. The point is just getting the word out there in cyberspace. The act itself has power even if your people don't care. What can it hurt. They'll just ignore it. But at least you made the gesture. Since you can't go to the protest yourself, it's one tiny something you can do.

BTW guys, I've been forcefed the SuperCrapFest Movie trailer like 35 times tonight. Every single commercial break on every channel I've been on, I swear. Fuck that shit. I hope SDW and the rockin' 501st Legion buries it tomorrow.

I just stumbled into some great stuff. Let's start with this because it's just so Brill-tastic!

Article...

Fanboys Director Steve Brill Threatens to Kick Real Fanboys' Asses! Uh oh…
Posted on Wednesday, March 26th, 2008 at 4:15 pm by: Hunter Stephenson
"How did we end up in Steve Brill's mind?"
BRILL-IANT UPDATE: Slashfilm reader "Sam R" put together this Brill-iant prototype design for t-shirts. Too good to leave it shining in our comments section like a diamond-studded chariot. Click here to witness the Slash-tastic work! Also, see Sam's new shirt design on Zazzle. And be sure to give a shout out below!
Alright, I'm not going to cough up everything that's going on with Fanboys at The Weinstein Co. because you don't need to even know what Fanboys is to enjoy these idiotic, foul-mouthed, hilarious, pathetic email fights below. They're between actual fanboys who are angry over the film being reshot and released without a cancer boy subplot and the director responsible for said reshoots and untold evils against humanity, Steve "Heavyweights, Little Nicky, Without a Paddle" Brill. Yes, these are real. Slashfilm has personally felt the wrath of this chief in the past. If you are wondering, Brill is 45. Let's get to it. Ding Ding!

FANBOY #2 VS. STEVE BRILL (My Personal Fave)
Fanboy Says:
Dear Mr. Brill,
I had contacted my theatres booking agent when I first heard about "Fanboys. " I thought it would be an uplifting and funny change of pace for our theatres.
Now, I realize that it will be the same cut and dried mainstream junk that has been habitually littering our auditoriums.
I am going to contact my booker and suggest that as a company, we do not pick up this film for presentation. You have ruined a wonderful concept.
Sincerely,
Chris

No. Please god. No Chris… please no. Don't wield your power against us. I was just trying to help. Please Christopher don't hold it against the movie. We'll do anything to gain your trust. You seem so important and so knowledgeable, obviously you have formed a real considered opinion and the fact that you will not book us into your theatre is so unfair. I implore you sir please reconsider. Direct your wrath at me, but don't take it out on the movie….. What can we do to appease you Chris? You dumb cunt. E mail me again and I will hunt you down fucker… try me.
FANBOY #3 VS. STEVE "BADASS" BRILL
Fanboy Says:
You're involved with Fanboys for nothing more than a quick buck. You don't give a damn about the movie, Star Wars or its 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!
Steve Brill Replies:

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.
Discuss: How awesome is Hollywood?

Lots of mistakes here, needed a Beta, but cool in spirit and uses TeeJay's Screw The Corporate Cut banner at the bottom of the page...

Are the Weinsteins somehow influencing MySpace to block the Protest Website?!? Go look at my Bulletin and follow the link: http://committed.to/stopdarthweinstein

Yeah, MySpace is probably blocking the link. Happened with Ernie Cline's blog too (though I have no idea why they would block Ernie!). I think you can contact MS and ask them to remove the block, but I didn't go that far when I wanted to post something and link Ernie. Just post the link as normal text, people should be able to paste into their browser if they really wanna look at it. Or just post the direct link: http://stopdarthweinstein.chris-marquette.com, maybe that one works.

The spaces they put into the URLs is new, but that's normal. They do that automatically with links now. Don't ask me why. Usually, if the link is not blocked, it still works when you click on it.

IFC has a pretty good article about recent developments: http://www.ifc.com/film/indie-eye/2008/ … nstein.php

This one's quite good as well: http://www.wonderlandstream.com/stream_ … log_id=190

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Mar 08 :: 15:38

Yeah, I love this quote...

The case of Fanboys is ultimately a unique one, marking the evolution of the audience into something more powerful than it has ever been before. At SXSW, Four Eyed Monsters co-creator Susan Buice suggested, at a roundtable discussion hosted by Bside Entertainment, that "fans" no longer exist; they have been replaced by "peers." Consumers now feel that they have the power to interact directly with their chosen mode of entertainment. In the case of Fanboys, these peers are creating their own personalized democracy. More power to 'em.

Like Patti Smith said, "People have the power!"

domesticelefant · 28 Mar 08 :: 18:45

Cool!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 29 Mar 08 :: 01:22

The Tribeca website has a mention of the rebellion in their newsletter today...

And there's that familiar wallpaper again that the artist known as TeeJay created oh so very long ago.

Chnyst · 29 Mar 08 :: 02:06

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.

Yeah, it's pretty much over if Leslie Nielsen is in it. But, you know, if that is the level of quality TWC is aiming for, it explains everything. And it will lead to their demise. They wouldn't even let critics see that piece of shit.

magicalturkey · 29 Mar 08 :: 02:11

Yep, spoofs should be left to the pros... but they never really get old, do they? There's only one reason I'd see Superhero, because they did a Tom Cruise spoof... but now that's all over the internet.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 29 Mar 08 :: 02:12

It's pretty easy to do a Tom Cruise spoof. The Jerry O'Connell one is brilliant! Even more priceless since he actually worked with the guy.

justme · 29 Mar 08 :: 02:21

Yeah, at this point making fun of Tom Cruise is like shooting fish in a barrel. :embarrassed:

TheCentralScrutinizer · 29 Mar 08 :: 02:26

Hmmmm, more like in a pail maybe.

magicalturkey · 29 Mar 08 :: 02:29

A shark in a pail with a sniper rifle.

Chnyst · 29 Mar 08 :: 02:31

TheCentralScrutinizer · 29 Mar 08 :: 02:33

That, as they say, is just about the size if it.

justme · 29 Mar 08 :: 02:37

Jerry O'Connell did an amazing job, though! I love watching the spoof and the real thing one after the other.

Craig Ferguson did a pretty good job, too!

I haven't seen the whole Ferguson one. I'll go take a look.

More coverage: http://www.joblo.com/twice-the-fanboys
Don't you love it how none of the comments are actually about Fanboys but all about who's hotter in a Leia costume: Kristen Bell or Natalie Portman?

Also, has anyone seen this one?

Here's something from a German Star Wars site:

Yeah, the Wired one is the one I was raving about earlier in the week. Great article! I hate JoBlo.

Now if only someone can find some coverage of yesterday's protests...
