We've just gotten confirmation that the
Weinstein Company intends to simply IGNORE the outcry from Star Wars fans
around the world and release their new heartless, pointless, insulting
cut of FANBOYS.
They either don't think we're serious
about our boycott, or they think alienating their target audience is a great
idea...
The Weinstein Company has just changed
the plot synopsis on the
Official Fanboys Website. (Did you think we wouldn't notice?) Here's
a comparison of the old and new versions:
So... the film's "moral imperative" has
been cut out, just as we feared.
Did you notice that they also REMOVED THE
DIRECTOR'S NAME? Why would that be, Darth Weinstein? Is it because he's an
actual Star Wars fan? And you don't want any actual Star Wars fans
associated with your new butchered no-plot recut of FANBOYS?
That's the kind of sinister company we're
dealing with here... The kind that would take a movie about Star Wars fans
away from the Star Wars fan who made it, then give it to
a sewer-mouthed hack so that he
can turn it into a movie that ridicules Star Wars fans.
Fine, Darth Weinstein. You have
officially incurred the wrath of the Rebel Alliance. Our new goal is to make
sure your next release (SUPERHERO MOVIE) grosses exactly $0 on its
opening weekend. On the day it opens, there will be a crowd of Star
Wars fans outside every theater, urging people to go see "Run Fatboy Run"
instead. That movie stars Simon Pegg - and he's an actual Star Wars fan.
Like all of us.
Check back soon for details on the
SUPERHERO MOVIE BOYCOTT! Until then...
May the Force Be With You,
