Well that was a good idea while it lasted...

Harvey: it's time to evaluate your choice in profession. The cafe I had lunch at yesterday was looking for a dishwasher. Also grocery baggers where I buy my groceries make pretty decent tips. Suffice to say you'll make more money at either than you will marketing films to niche markets your completely out of touch with.

Harvey, Harvey, Harvey....Sometimes you just don't know what you have sometimes. This coming from the guy who had to be hit over the fyucking head to realize Clerks was kickass in its own right....

Release the movie Harvey, It looked killer on the previews when Clerks II was in theatres...that was almost 2 years ago.

it's a little hard to guage the actual level of anticipation for a film called 'fanboys' when fanboys themselves are the ones who generate buzz in the first place. just saying, there may be a slight lack of objectivity among fanboys of the movie 'fanboys.' ya know? but i was sure this would get its run in theaters, and i might even have gone out to see it.

has the weinstein company had a single hit besides 'hoodwinked'? and come on, how are they gonna say that comedy auiences can't handle a serious issue like disease when two of the biggest comedies of last year were based on every young person's biggest fear: having a baby (ok fine, third biggest next to herpes and AIDS). it's OK harv, a bunch of people in america get cancer, we can handle the earth-shattering plotline ya jerk-off.

jesus RT can you guys fix this comment box issue where it breaks words and drops them to the next line? this has gone on for a month. IT'S RIDICULOUS that a site that gets up to 60 to 120 MILLION hits a day (wiki) can't solve an issue from web design 101. get your game up.

No matter how they market it or what one detail of the story line is, it's a movie about a Star Wars-fan road trip. Assuming that the majority of Star Wars fanboys go to see it, which is a safe bet, it will almost assuredly be a hit, even if mainstream audiences don't go. There are enough Star Wars fanboys to be able to be defined as comparable to a mainstream audience on their own. Besides that... I've been waiting to see this since at least a year ago. Release the movie already. "Nobody calls Han Solo a d-bag!"

I just have to say I don't give a flying damn about any cancer sub plot I just want to see the F***ing film. Stop teasing me and release it. I don't care what version cause it will be funny either way.

Oh and the isn't the 501st supposed to be Vader (the king of badA$$e$ and hurting people) personal leigion and do all kinds of dirt so why are they boycotting a movie (just because one of the fans has cancer....as if star wars fans can't get cancer) when they are responsible for killing alot of wookies. None of them deserve to wear the imperial uniform!

.....VADER 4 LYFE BI%CH#S!!!!!!!!!!!

Jar Jar Christ in a tutu, I REEEEAAALLY wish these fanboys would quit calling him "Darth" Weinstein, as if he could ever earn such a kick-ace title. Whatever happened to the good old standard nickname of "douchebag"?

And where the frak is "5-25-77"??? Is it coming to DVD?

Xenogears -

The young daughther of a 501st member died from cancer in 2006, so I can understand their need for the storyline to remain intact. But they should just quit disgracing the name "Darth" on someone so petty as Weinstein.

Im still gonna boycott if they dont release the original cancer story line version. There just gonna do a double dip DVD release with the 2 version. No matter even if they say the different version is good I still wont see it, I will only see it if they release the original camcer story version.

Don't forget the fangirls! It's already June? Where is the movie? I've been dying to see it since 2005, and it was supposed to come out in 1999?

Well its out now in the US at least. Though with a measly 55 theaters its hardly gonna make much of an impact, and even with the original much needed cancer sub-plot intact, it sounds to me like Weinstein is having the last laugh. A neurotic monkey could market a film better than that over-zealous narcissistic jackass!

As was said in both the Bible and the Qur'an 'Fanboys shall inherit the Earth' so thannkfully we have that to look forward to at least. On the Fanboy front, there is another film/documentary being made called 'The People vs George Lucas' (www.peoplevsgeorge.com), its about whether fans still love the bearded wonder or hate him for messing with the SE's and prequils etc. They're asking for contributors to have a go at filming themselves, been thinking about it for ages, and after the Fanboy debacle, think i will.
