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

I know what you mean, Laura. I cringed too. I counted 11 mistakes in that little thing and that doesn't include the missing commas.

Oh, and this is funny. My friend Ralf told me today one of his colleagues at SF-Radio (big German sci-fi online portal) is going to make one of his podcasts about the recent Fanboys edits and the boycott (without prompting from any of us, but maybe my article on SF-Radio helped). And he asked Ralf if he would provide his voice for a part in the podcast. And now guess who Ralf is supposed to lend his voice to? Dang! Harvey Weinstein. LOL I hope he portrays him similar to what these guys did in the spoof video on YouTube ("I'll sic my fucking lawyers on their pimple asses! Fucking Star Trek--Wars fans, get me J.J. Abrams on the phone, I'll sue him too!"). But judging from what Ralf said, it will be very similar and should be fun to listen to. However, it'll be in German. Sorry, guys. wink

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

Not Blockbuster, Hollywood Video.  They're the ones I worked for for 4 whole days before I broke down and couldn't go back there.  Blockbuster does other nefarious stuff like find successful mom & pop video stores, move in across the street from them and drive them out of business.  I've worked for three different chains that had this happen to them.  But they're the only game in town nowadays so I bite the bullet and rent there.

This guy, like everyone else who is NOT paying attention to our fight thinks we just wanna be pissy to the Weinsteins.  I couldn't give a rat's ass about the Weinsteins.  I just want to see the real movie.  He's no better than all the other idiots who keep posting saying we shouldn't fight them.  He has missed the ENTIRE point.

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

In any case, we suspect Harvey was shocked to arrive ready for diplomacy only to find Chinese culture minister Sun Jiazheng decked out in a STOP DARTH WEINSTEIN T-shirt given to him by an earlier, unidentified American visitor, who apparently punked him into believing it said WELCOME WEINSTEIN COMPANY. Those Fanboys loyalists — always thinking two steps ahead.

Is that for real? That is AWESOME!!!

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

The SDW guys are asking everyone to boycott Weinstein's The Forbidden Kingdom. Read below (or go to the SDW site to get all the clickable links). I think they're getting a little ahead of themselves, to be honest. I'm quite sure Superhero Movie bombed on its own, and not because a few Fanboys fans didn't go see it.

4.03.2008
THERE WILL NO ONE STOP US THIS TIME!

Fellow Star Wars Fans,

Our boycott of the Weinstein Company's latest film "Superhero Movie" was a massive success! According to the Hollywood Reporter: "The movie mustered up a gross of only $9.5 million despite several predictions of a $14-milion-$19 million bow." (Do THAT math, Darth Weinstein!)

But according to this Variety article, a spokesman for Weinstein Co. said "the protest had very little, if any, impact on the film's box office."

Oh really? Then why did your movie TOTALLY BOMB, Mr. Spokesman?

There can only be two explanations. Either it was the boycott of your studio by Star Wars fans across the country OR it was the fact that you made a crappy unfunny movie that no one wanted to see. So which is it? If we were you guys, we'd blame the boycott. Because you've still got to try and make your money back on the Superhero Movie DVD, don't you?

Can the Weinstein Co. know how much money our boycott is costing them? No they can't. But it's easy to figure how much money they'd be losing every day if we ended our boycott. ZERO!

This quote is also from the Hollywood Reporter: "Despite the fact that the Weinstein Co. received more than 300,000 e-mails from fans, a Weinstein Co. source said there were only around 3,000 e-mails addressed to 150 Weinstein employees."

You guys are just making numbers up now, aren't you? We have less than 70 Weinstien Co. email addresses here on our site, so how did all those emails reach 150 employees? If you're going to backpedal and pretend fans around the world aren't upset with your studio, at least get your numbers straight!

The real question you should be asking yourselves is: "Why have we chosen to piss off the majority of the Star Wars fans on the planet, when what we really want is for them to see our movies?"

We know what a lot of you are thinking: "Boycotting Superhero Movie was EASY. I wasn't going to see that piece of crap anyway!" Well, unfortunately the next target of our boycott is going to sting a little bit  more. It may actually require some sacrifice. The Weinstein Co. is releasing "The Forbidden Kingdom" on April 18th and it looks like a pretty good kung-fu flick. Jackie Chan and Jet Li! We'll all be really bummed if we have to skip it in theaters. Luckily, Kristen Bell's movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall is opening the same day and it  looks hysterical. Kristen is one of the many reasons we're all dying to see FANBOYS!

The good news is that we want to see the original version of FANBOYS in theaters a hell of a lot more than any other movie the Weinstein Company has coming out this year. So...

We will continue to boycott every single movie/DVD that has a Weinstein Co. or Dimension Films logo until the Weinstein Co. issues another press release stating that they will:

1. Give Fanboys back to the Star Wars fans who made it.

2. Release the original version of FANBOYS in theaters!

We can hold out for as long as it takes, Darth Weinstein. Star Wars fans are patient. We waited 16 years between Episode I and Episode IV, remember?

Hopefully, the Weinstein Company will just give the fans of FANBOYS what they want. Then we can end the boycott and focus our attention back on the upcoming CLONE WARS animated series!!

In the meantime, our boycott continues to receive loads of press:

    * "Star Wars" fans picket in support of delayed film - Reuters
    * Fans protest TWC release - Variety
    * 'SUPERHERO' Caught in Crossfire - Boston Herald
    * Round One of Harvey Weinstein vs. Fanboys' fanboys goes to the geeks
    * Nerds Put Kick Me Sign On "Superhero"
    * How Fanboys (Sort Of) Saved 'Fanboys' From Harvey Weinstein - NY Magazine

We really hope you guys issue another press release soon. Or this boycott is going last longer than winter on Hoth!!!

One last thing - the press continues to incorrectly state that the Stop Darth Weinstein Movement and the 501st Legion are somehow connected or worse, that they're the same thing. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Although there are 501st members who support our cause, the majority of us are just regular Star Wars fans and are in no way affiliated with the 501st Legion. See their official statement on their website. It's totally incorrect for the press to keep referring to us as "the 501st." We are the Stop Darth Weinstein Squadron! Our apologies to the Legion for dragging their good name into our ongoing battle with Darth Weinstein.

The boycott continues! Stay on target! The Force Is With Us!

Zev Senesca
and the SDW Squadron

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

Forbidden Kingdom looks really good.  Can't say I care much about Sarah Marshall --- it's those Apatow people again and I'm pretty mad at them right over all of this.  Guess I'll just continue my recent pattern and not go see anything.

Here's another article about the whole Fanboys fight. I haven't yet fully read it, and I suppose I know everything in there anyway. But it might still be an interesting read:

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

I like this paragraph...

The case of Fanboys marks the moment at which audiences became as powerful as the film-makers when it comes to the key decisions on what should be left on the cutting-room floor. The fans no longer see themselves as merely spectators, feeling that films belong to them as much as they do to the film-makers.

You damn skippy!

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

You should read what's being posted at IMDb. This eyescor guy (who says he's working on the final score right now) explained that originally they wanted Mark Mothersbaugh to supply his band's rock music for the movie. Now that they "suddenly" found out they can't use Lucas's original SW score (wasn't that what Lucas gave Kyle permission to use?), they're re-hiring Mothersbaugh and his minions to compose orchestral music for the movie. Eight months after their first officially announced release date (Aug 18, 2007). Uh-huh.

He's also insisting we shouldn't call him a liar and that Fanboys is gonna show at Cannes. Sorry, dude, I'll believe it when I see it on an official Cannes lineup somewhere.

This is all getting beyond ridiculous. Not only did Harvey last year decide to totally recut the movie, now they're also totally rescoring the movie. And as Deb said on IMDb, it'll sure be a genius move to replace music of a zany rock back with orchestral music. That'll totally enthuse the 17-year-olds! Next thing we know, they'll remove all the Rush music from the film for some obscure reason. And then the only music Hutch will allow to be played in Bucephalus will be......... Backstreet Boys. (<sings> "Backstreet's back, all right!")

In danger of paraphrasing, eyescor also insists the movie will turn out great and it'll be something we should all look forward to. Sorry, man, but that's not me. Not anymore.

I'm so mad I could open the window and scream at the top of my lungs. Why do I even still care?

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

Some people will remember Mothersbaugh as the ex-front man for Devo.  I can see them using some Devo songs in the movie, sure.  But the rest is total bullpuckey.

As I mentioned in another post the Cannes line-up was released the other day and Fanboys is no where on it, I mean really why would it be.

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

Well, my theory is that Harvey is renting a greasy, sticky old porno house in Cannes and showing it to investors from the UAE so he can sell it overseas and never release it in the US, ala All The Boys Love Mandy Lane.

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

SDW is announcing Call Darth Weinstein Week. They ask that this week, we all call the Weinstein Co. on the phone to tell them we will boycott all the Weinstein movies that are gonna show this summer and that we want the original Fanboys. It's a neat idea, but I personally don't feel like calling them on the phone...

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

OK, I went and read this and all I can think is someone really needs to tell Jenk that it's over.  We lost.  And with that line-up of "summer" movies no one's even frickin' heard of, Harvey doesn't need to be boycotted.  He's gonna lose his ass anyway.

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

What a fucking psychopathic idiot.  Weinstein now thinks he can threaten to destroy the Democratic party unless Speaker Of The House, Nancy Pelosi "gives" the nomination to Hillary?!?  Are you fucking kidding me?!?  Who does this freak think he is?  Shut the fuck up, Harvey!  For God's sake, you're really making an incredible fool of yourself.  Have you gone completely off your nut?

Read this article and watch the clip of the fantastic, dead-on accurate portrayal of Harvey from Entourage.  Trust me, if you've never seen it, it'll give you a perfect picture of what this guy's all about.  And it's funny as hell.
