CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens
- Thread starter jespah
- Start date
And the attempts to privately fleece the unsuspecting masses continue:
I love the bullshit claims where he basically implies:
"The studio was ready..."
"We built all these great sets..."
and the real whopper:
"We would have had 30% of Axanar filmed in January 2016 IF we hadn't been sued..."
I gotta ask: When will CBS hold this man TO the settlement, because this still seems like he's effectively publicly fundraising (yes, I'm sure he's getting questions if someone can still 'pledge' for a perk); and advertising his 'perks', etc. here. He can now quickly do once a week 13 minute promo videos, but can't make any real progress on these phantom 2 fifteen minute segments.
I guess there are still suckers out these who want to buy into this BS, and that's just $%$#@! sad.

Should I whip out the world's tiniest violin for him?
An old fable ...
The Scorpion and the Frog
One day, a scorpion looked around at the mountain where he lived and decided that he wanted a change. So he set out on a journey through the forests and hills. He climbed over rocks and under vines and kept going until he reached a river.
The river was wide and swift, and the scorpion stopped to reconsider the situation. He couldn't see any way across. So he ran upriver and then checked downriver, all the while thinking that he might have to turn back.
Suddenly, he saw a frog sitting in the rushes by the bank of the stream on the other side of the river. He decided to ask the frog for help getting across the stream.
"Hellooo Mr. Frog!" called the scorpion across the water, "Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?"
"Well now, Mr. Scorpion! How do I know that if I try to help you, you wont try to kill me?" asked the frog hesitantly.
"Because," the scorpion replied, "If I try to kill you, then I would die too, for you see I cannot swim!"
Now this seemed to make sense to the frog. But he asked. "What about when I get close to the bank? You could still try to kill me and get back to the shore!"
"This is true," agreed the scorpion, "But then I wouldn't be able to get to the other side of the river!"
"Alright then...how do I know you wont just wait till we get to the other side and THEN kill me?" said the frog.
"Ahh...," crooned the scorpion, "Because you see, once you've taken me to the other side of this river, I will be so grateful for your help, that it would hardly be fair to reward you with death, now would it?!"
So the frog agreed to take the scorpion across the river. He swam over to the bank and settled himself near the mud to pick up his passenger. The scorpion crawled onto the frog's back, his sharp claws prickling into the frog's soft hide, and the frog slid into the river. The muddy water swirled around them, but the frog stayed near the surface so the scorpion would not drown. He kicked strongly through the first half of the stream, his flippers paddling wildly against the current.
Halfway across the river, the frog suddenly felt a sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the scorpion remove his stinger from the frog's back. A deadening numbness began to creep into his limbs.
"You fool!" croaked the frog, "Now we shall both die! Why on earth did you do that?"
The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog's back.
"I could not help myself. It is my nature."
Then they both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river.
WHERE'S THE MOVIE, ALEC?
So basically, it's a day of the week that ends in y.
Yes, largely because he is anti-CBS. That alone is worth something nowadays.
Summary, please? I can't watch it. I just can't.
Sounds like an old Voyager plot.An old fable ...

WHERE'S THE MOVIE, ALEC?
But interesting.
Just RMB losing his shit over Alec Peters suing him. He spills the beans...all of them.
Nope. Alec is suing RMB...he goes...ballistic.
Wow...someone actually got their Prelude BluRay? I'm jealous. 
I watched all of RMB’s video last night and it’s interesting to see him finally break his silence.
The bottom line isn’t exactly newsworthy, Alec killed Axanar and it’ll never happen as far as Rob is concerned.
He does back up my previous feelings that he was one of the ones actually trying to drive the production forward after Christian left. Rob was onboard purely out of a desire to make a Star Trek movie. I’m still surprised he stuck around during the lawsuit, and it’s telling that despite sticking by Alec, he’s now getting sued. I guess that desire to make the film overrode his critical faculties as Christian etc bailed. I can’t really judge on that as someone that backed the project over both Kickstarters and even the Indiegogo despite the warning signs being there by that point.
Rob also seems determined to prove what was done with the movie and that work had proceeded, just not by Alec. He seems viscerally angry over the fact the transporter set was junked.
I’m sure Alec will love his comments about Star Trek Continues as well

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by RMB’s comments. After watching the entire livestream my opinion of him has been revised upward.
Ok, I held my nose and watched it.
Besides a bunch of laughs, you know what I got out of it?
WHERE'S THE MOVIE, ALEC?
I think we can take from Rob’s comments on the footage that the answer is: “he lost it”
Alec’s never going to make the film. He’s alienated most people with film making experience that wanted to get on with making it, and the odds of him loading up Windows Movie Maker to try and put anything together for the fans that are left are zero. All his announcements and Axacons are just him riding the fading glory Prelude brought him.
