Nope, doesn't work like "Beetlejuice".

Maybe it should be Candyman, because Tony Todd is in Axa ... oh. Never mind.

Reminds me of one of the more crazy people on Facebook, who claims she's received death threats from Bad Robot employees.

That was clearly the problem.
He didn't repeat it 5 times, and in front of a mirror.

I watched the Prelude to Axanar trailer and it was pretty good. Was the whole movie gonna be like that? I liked it.

This whole affair is moving from funny to sad, really quickly.

They said the film proper was not going to be in a documentary format.

Alec is named in a serious lawsuit, which he'll have to answer in court.

His online bullshit is worthless where that's concerned.

Here's what the finished film was supposed to be like:

This was posted in the I Stand With CBS Facebook group. But this "production log" video of Axanar from April 2015 was when I started to really scrutinize the project. In this log, Peters and Burnett discuss dropping $185,000 on the studio space and their renovation plans.

It did seem they put the cart before the horse.

Peters' blog entries read like a fifth grader's book report. Every time.

I'm not aware of anyone discussing going to Ares Studios; the first (and only) time it was mentioned by someone, Squiggy and others quashed the idea and the thread was in fact deleted. I'm not aware of anyone else discussing it on the "I Stand With CBS" page. Peters may just be doing what he does -- trying to spin the story in his favor, taking advantage of the fact that most of his supporters aren't members there and will eat up every lie and exaggeration he spoonfeeds them and that his supporters who are, likely won't contradict Lord Alec either.

Either way, it just further speaks to Peters' continued inability to discuss the actual issues everyone else is concerned about and instead favoring just shit-talking anyone who doesn't drink the Axanar coffee.

To paraphrase John Harrison:

"Enjoy these final moments of peace, for CBS has returned... and they will have their copyright upheld."

Yeah. I covered our ass and dealt with it. If Alec wants to lie to keep up his pity party, he's free to do so.

He's just preaching to his choir at this point.

Anyway, I took the bait and replied. My email is lol@nope.com.

Where exactly does the court draw the line when it comes to online quoting? If everything is worthless in court eyes, why were people saying the inflammatory remarks could be used against him? If everything said online mattered, I can think of several people (on both sides) who could be quoted in less-than-honorable terms.

Since I'm sure my reply will never see the light of day, here it is...

I Stand With CBS is an open Facebook page, meaning anyone who has a Facebook account can view it’s posts in their entirety. I invite everyone to read through all the posts and point out our discussions about trespassing.

Here, I’ll help you all out: One guy a couple of weeks ago made an offhand remark about it. We nipped it in the bud, smacked the poster down, and deleted the thread lest it get out of hand and other people pick up on the idea.

Unlike other people, we know what’s illegal and what isn’t.

If it turns out Peters did buy a new car last year with Kickstarter money (as some alleged, and Peters, Burnett, and others on the production vehemently denied) then they would have put the car before the horse as well.

I think we should take a bunch of Axanar's original content and edit together a fan film of their fan film...That would be sure to get Alec's goat.

 

[Squiggy]

I've posted the reply in the CBS group and tagged Alec. No way he can miss it.

For being a "lawyer", he does some fucking stupid things regarding the law.

Wait a minute, I'm confused!

If it's the cart AND the car before the horse, where does the goat fit in?

Yep - Don't know WHERE anyone got the idea that 'Ares studios' was going to be used for other 'for profit' productions; or that Axanar donor money went to the construction/creation of that portion of their 'business'. Obviously we were all jumping to unfounded conclusions - and that was never the plan....oh, wait...

 

[JoeZhang]

Given the clock is ticking - any sign of these Top IP lawyers?

Goat? I thought we were dealing with sheep? You know, the sheep who are still donating money to Axanar?
