(Two if you want to count the release in Japan.)
There's not even a trailer out in theaters yet.

Honestly, I really don't feel any sympathy for FOX in this manner... It's not OUR fault their marketing for this movie sucks.

I agree, their marketing (or extreme lack there of) is horrible.

At the very least they could grant some sort of interview and grab a newspaper article.

Or how about a billboard ad?

Stick ads in a magazine?
Something.

Well, it's midnight here in NJ; Mike 'n Meri are probably asleep right now.

Maybe you could try to contact Julian? Doesn't he have moderator powers?

No they're not. They're newlyweds.

Maybe we shouldn't call Mikes attention to this page...

It is a little known fact that Mike has a mind like with his forum PM inbox.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say they were going out of their way to advertise in countries that aren't the U.S. (It's kind of humorously ironic).

http://www.dragonball-pelicula.com/ is up and running now.
Though, that could be because they filmed a good chunk of the movie in Durango.

And the reason for Japan's being up is obvious.

'Dunno. At least you could tell Ed Wood liked cinema. I can think of many directors who really don't seem to give a fuck. And some of them are shitty at their job, too (Uwe Boll, anyone?).

(but comparing Nolan and Wood? seriously? wow)

Not to mention they waited until the movie was pretty much finished and already heavily promoted before even saying anything .

I'm referring to the whole Watchmen BS going on right now.

A good (if infuriating) read on the subject.
Way to go, Fox!

Chuquita · Post by **Chuquita** » Sat Jan 10, 2009 3:08 am

I'm confused.

Is Watchmen coming out at all now? I heard something about it does get to come out but FOX gets some of the profits or something like that.

Y'know, I want to call foul on your game JAPPO. Every single time you start a new thread with new information you hold it over everyone saying things like "Ohh I don't know if I can share this much with you" or "I'd get in trouble if I told you this MOST AMAZING thing that only I and the people that made the movie know" You eventually share what you have (or some of it anyway), and when you are no longer in control of the situation you make excuses for why the thread should be deleted. "I might get in trouble" "FOX is gonna sue me" If there was any possibility of a lawsuit you wouldn't have posted the information in the first place. You're just trying to gain your control back by having the thread deleted.

It's a silly game and I for one am quite sick of it.

Apparently, for some people, proof isn't good enough.

When I posted this information I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I saw Latino Review and AICN do similar reviews. But I guess Fox is constantly checking my site now and thinks this is worse.

If you want MORE proof email ComicBookMovie.com. I contacted the owner of that site because one of their fansites had posted my review. They received the same email (remove by January 10th or further action will happen etc.), so I'm a bit relieved. As long as I remove everything (which I did) I think I'm safe.

If by "proof" you mean "no proof" then yes, because that's exactly what you gave at first. Citing sources is something you're supposed to do from the very beginning.

OK, I'll do it.

So much for not legally being able to tell us certain stuff, eh? Looks like Fox won't let you tell us any of it, paraphrased or not.

Man, what a bunch of jerks... Then again, I'm not one to talk.

Jappo, you're full of shit. Fox, or any studio, will usually spring into action to have something removed even if it is fake. Why? Because they own the property. Not to mention once you post something online it's pretty much gone. Forever. Bots, other forums, other websites, etc. It's all over the place, real or no, and it's probably attributed to you in some form.

If Fox truly wants this information gone, they will contact Mike personally as he owns Daizenshuu EX. If you're just worried about covering your own ass, well...perhaps you should have thought of that originally? Your constant claims to have the script yourself are probably what got you in trouble (if you're in fact in trouble to begin with), they probably want to know who on their crew or wherever is leaking material to you.

I hope Mike doesn't delete this though. I'm honestly curious to see, once the movie hits, if any of this was true. Seems to me anyone could have written this "script" from seeing the pictures you posted. Posting them after the "script" doesn't really do anything to corroborate your claims of legitimacy, since you're controlling the release of both sources.

In either case, let Mike make the call.

Your explanation makes no sense though. Why would Fox approach you as opposed to the owners of this site?

You don't seem to understand. I posted this on one of my sites so they contacted me.

However I don't want this site or myself (obviously) to get into trouble so I want this thread deleted.

I have spoken with the admins of other sites where people copied-and-pasted the review and got them to delete it and they understood the situation. I'm just asking this site to do the same.

Obviously it's Mike's decision but it would be a favor to me.
