CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

I have been saying it for quite some time -- Alec has given his hungry, JJ-loathing acolytes their bread and circuses from the beginning. That this farce continues today, six months after the rightful owners of the property have said "knock it off, LOL" as painfully obviously as possible is an embarrassment, motivated solely by Peters greed, hubris, and ineptitude and Burnett's unhinged and pathological insistence that he should somehow be awarded the right to make a Star Trek film despite being an otherwise mediocre director.

 

We work our butts off creating Star Trek and if we get a million views, it's time to party for a week. Somebody films a dog rolling down the hill 3 times and has 4.2 million views (up 800,000 in 18 hours)
Maybe it is time to rethink all of this.

 

I still love Free Enterprise. But that was a long time ago, and so was the last time I heard anything about a sequel, which would have been a better use of RMB's time.

 

Has anyone an idea, how many of the "over 10.000" dear donors are still on board?

Besides the 5-10 Axa-Marines/-Nerds/-Turds whose uncanny voices still can be heard? Are there more than those 5-10 people over at the closed Axanar FB group who actively participate in a discussion?

It feels like 99,9% either have left the building or got 86'd. Even axanarproductions.com has just the casual commenting going on, no matter what blog has been published...

 

Silence is golden, but a rant from LFIM is pure unadulterated latinum.

Can't wait for the next one.

 

Sometimes it feels like a few them escaped in order to badmouth the other productions, I guess you have to expect that but this battle Alec has with his ego is his undoing.

 

On a tangent, after seeing STC's latest episode I went back and watched bits and pieces of the previous offerings. Story and acting problems aside (and there are relatively few), it looks like everyone involved is having a blast.

That's what making a fan film is all about. Friends getting together and doing something they truly enjoy. Having fun, sharing a hobby.

Axanar is the opposite of that--making money, milking the fans, building a business.

 

But... Dmac... it's a dog rolling down a hill! How do you expect to compete with that?!

Also, do you have a link?

(Woo! 984th page! I'm helping!)

 

Exactly, Just because I've enjoyed working with one studio doesn't mean I can't enjoy work from another. I also run a couple of fan pages where every ones work gets posted (as long as I am made aware it's been released)

Dog rolling down a hill

 

And the link has no dog.. alas.

But you hit the nail on the head there. No matter how any of this turns out, Alec and Axanar has successfully destroyed the FUN out of making these productions, at least for a long while. And, really, there's just no forgiving of that.

 

He turned a negative into an utter disaster, instead of a positive.

We have to find the dog, try this

 

The funniest one I've seen.

 

Can't argue with a happy dog! And, besides, haven't we all enjoyed rolling down a grassy hill before? It's a relatable video! Cast that dog in a Fan Film!

 

Captain Garth Farley .... I can it see now!

Woof woof.

SO:
What is it Captain?

Woof woof

SO:
Ensign Timmy fell down a wormhole

 

I knew that if I ventured into an Axanar thread.. someone would hurt me.

 

It's based off a book I read so it's non cannon, which means I can do whatever I want to do with it.

 

Obvious dirty joke will be left to someone else...

Thought it does remind me of my own little spat (to use the term very loosely) with Axanar... but this isn't the best place for it. Suffice to say, I honestly don't think they have any clue what copyright and trademark actually ARE.

 

And drama, lots of drama. All of it behind the scenes.

 

My biggest fault is that I don't look for negatives in people but I take it as a kindness when they're willing to display them right up front.
