CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Oh boy. Why do they even engage? They should know to leave well enough alone for their own sake.

Studio, warehouse. To-MA-to. To-MAH-TOE.
I even specifically suggested to him that it would be wise to use their PR guy, Mike Bawden, to come up with a consistent public message, and his reply was, "My work is my public message," and he plugged an upcoming feature project that he edited.
 
I hadn't realized Alec finally decided to recast the part of Garth. Did he comment on why? Something to the effect of: "It's not in the project's best interest for a gangly man with no talent (who looks 10 years older than the man who portrayed the original, 20-years-older version of Garth) to portray the main character. Also, Tony Todd left in part because I can't act."

Kidding, of course, on that admission. But curious what his stated reason was.

he said he was too old to play a young Garth during the four years war, decided it in November and didn't tell anyone of the donors until January after then lawsuit.

In industry, your work can be great when seen in isolation, but if something about how you go about it clashes with red lines or requirements of the industry or the consequences of it going live in the world, your work can be set aside.

If you really want your work to matter and be used, you need to deal with both aspects. I suppose for artistic types, they have business people BTS who clean that all up. Here, the artists seemingly *are* the business people, and it doesn't seem to be working all that well. Maybe that's what they meant by not being a studio (where presumably there is the skill in all the issues required to succeed with doing the activities of that line of business, like PR and licensing and facilities management/budgeting).

The important thing is base this case on the merits of the law what usually goes on in the court system. Janet and Mike are great resources to understand what is going on. When the trial happens I'm sure we will have the popcorn ready, we just don't know what type of ending this film has yet. ;)

I agree with your post ... And I will agree even more if the "Mike" here refers to me. :D

I just listen to Janet alone... No offence to Michael, but Janet has coffee
 
Oh no, guys... Little Robbie's brought out the only weapon more terrifying than the D7

Today in a Twitter exchange with @AxaMonitor, Robert Burnett said the studio they've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on to refit is actually NOT a studio. It's "just a warehouse." They refer to it as a studio in the way an artist calls his workspace a studio. That's a quote. Seriously.

Warning: It's a long Twitter thread, rife with cognitive dissonance.

That is absolutely awesome work! You guys are doing a great job at building out the studio! I guess this means that Ares will be able to sustain other projects that will help generate income for the Studio and eventually make it self sustaining?

Yes, exactly.
Robert Burnett and Alec Peters can't even manage to keep their stories straight. :guffaw:
 
In a way, if Peters is truly a fan, I feel sorry for him. Right now, he is the center of attention. But once CBS is done with him, he will be broke and not welcome in the community of fans. Even those who support him right now will bleed away quickly once the discovery phase is made public.

It really is sad. But Peters needs to look in the mirror if he truly wants to know who is to blame for his current situation.

He needs to look in the Mirror Mirror, ask himself Who Mourns for Adonais and wonder about The Conscience of the King
