AICN Ridicule Page

Why bother with any other forum?
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Second one is good. Watched it today. Lots of Eva Green nudity.

"Lots of Eva Green nudity" fits most movies featuring Eva Green.

It doesn't fit Golden Compass. Maybe audiences would have liked it more if Eva Green had shown a shoulder or two. Then again, Eva Green nudity didn't salvage the 300 sequel. I probably liked it more than I liked the first 300, but that's not the ringingest of endorsements.

In all honesty there really MUST be a show in the pipeline somewhere. Mustn't there? He can't honestly have taken that cash and spent it on a tax bill and a new car? Not when you run a website where people can constantly call it into question? Seriously??

The people behind the camera insist he got none of the money. Whether or not he did, they've done a poor job of keeping people informed and getting rewards out to backers.

There are some rewards they simply should have handed out by now. One of the pricier rewards was supposed to be a spot in the studio audience. When it was pointed out that these people had yet to get their rewards, they were told the studio audience episodes hadn't been shot yet. The production team just keeps going on and on about these six episodes they're supposed to have shot. Backers continue to suspect that this is all old material shot before the Kickstarter.

Backers also point out that one of the rewards was a wall of thanks that was supposed to be displayed prominently in every episode. They've asked to see a picture of this wall. The production team has yet to share any such picture. Backers also point out that the production team said they would share images/video of the reconstruction of the basement set as it was happening. Presumably, it has already happened. No rebuilding shots have been shared.

Another reward they should have gotten out by now was the fifteen-minute over-the-phone or Skype talk with Harry. One of the guys who paid hundreds of dollars for this reward has been asking why he has yet to hear anything. Is it conceivable that Harry is busy? Sure. Still, one thinks he'd have been able to find a spare fifteen minutes here or there.

Is it possible he is planning some kind of event around all this? Running a special Butt-Numb-A-Thon and getting them along or something?

I am just playing Devils Advocate here.

It's possible. It's not likely, but it's possible.

Then he has massive balls to even try this. Yet we don't think he's that clever.

Not only have they had the brass neck to post a story to draw attention to the Kickstarter for Firestorm on AICN, it is strangely the only story I have ever seen on the site that has no Talkback enabled for it.

I wonder why, oh why, that could possibly be??? Hmmmmmm.......

Deciphering is never the hard thing for me. It's usually not too hard to figure out what he means. It's just frustrating that he's built a pocket empire based on a wanton disregard for clean writing and proofreading.

It's not surprising. It's just frustrating. And amusing. And frustrating that it's amusing.

THE FAKE LIST OF MOVIES NOT PLAYING BUTT-NUMB-A-THON 16!!!

Get a load of this bit:

"Usually I'd break it down to NEW & OLD Films for ya... But there's one film this year that is kinda both. So it makes it difficult for me to say if it is 7&5 or 6&6. BUT... I feel very confident that this year will start with a roar that the audience will feel through to the very end. Me, I can't wake up and see this first film and every film that follows until we leave that theater some time after 2:30pm tomorrow."

Also, check out that top comment.

Some of Amy Pascal's e-mail writing is pretty bad.
