First, let's give a shout out to the
DAILY TELEGRAPH for informing the UK of our cause. Here's a link to the
article:
Star Wars Fanboys' fury at 'Darth Weinstein' by Tom Chivers
Cheers! Now that we're getting press on
both sides of the Atlantic, I wonder how much longer the Weinstein Company
can pretend the boycott of their studio isn't happening?

One of our fellow rebels in Germany just
hipped us to some more shocking news about the utter cluelessness of Grand
Moff Brill-o-Pad. (Question: Do you guys prefer Brill-o-Head or Brill-o-Pad?
We can't decide!)
Through another email exchange with a
German fan, we've learned that Steve
Brill (the guy hired to ruin Fanboys and remove the original plot) is so
clueless and out of touch that he actually doesn't believe anyone has
seen the original version of FANBOYS!
Seriously. Apparently, no one at the
Weinstein company has informed him that the original version of FANBOYS was
screened for several hundred fans at Celebration Europe in London (on
Saturday, July 14, 2007 at 5:30 PM to be exact). Here's
a link announcing the rough cut screening on the official Star Wars website!
And here's a video clip of one of the three standing
ovations the original version received. And here's
a few dozen reviews by people who were there!
We know
you've visited this site. How did you manage to miss all of that, Steve-o?
Here is Brill's email exchange with a
German fan, which proves (once again) that he doesn't know WTF he's talking
about. [Note: Many Bothans died to bring us this information]:
Kyun Asgrat's e-mail:
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.
Brill's response:
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, yes... There's more proof. Grand Moff
Brill-o-head is both stupid AND misinformed. And
possibly illiterate. The 45 minutes he's referring to were screened at
C4 in Los Angeles. I guess Darth Weinstein forgot to tell Brill-o-head
that he would be butchering a movie that quite a few people had already seen
and loved. (There were also at least two screenings
of the original version in LA, by the way. How wrong can one Brill-o-head
be? Pretty wrong.)
Will someone at the Weinstein Company
please clue him in? (We know you guys read this website, since about 25% of
our web traffic comes from IP addresses at your offices! BUSTED!)
Keep spreading the word! Keep
attacking the Death Star! Their
overconfidence is their weakness! Until our next update...
