...What crowley and tab said.

Actually some deluded people think money grows on trees and that this project is an act of philanthropy and altruism.
The reality is this film will cost hundreds of thousands if not millions to make.PM has to get an investor/studio to give him money to make a film and studios are in the biz of making money not giving it away randomly.The studio needs to know whether this film will make back at minimum the costs plus interest.In order to make money pm has to sell this movie and to attract the attention of a distributor who can market this film and sell it to its max potential.Ergo that is why pm wants it at sundance.So he can create a buzz and attract attention of 'the suits' and distributors.
The ignorance and the audacity of gomer pyle/romeo to slam the producer for a project they havent even seen is idiotic.And then to say that they and other fans dont want to see too many interviews and bitch that more live footage HAS TO BE included is just ludicrous and demand it should be made according to how they want is insane.Who the heck are you to tell anyone how to make a film?Wake up gomer,this film is not being made by you or for you.Just dont watch it if you are so offended by its production.
If you are such a fan gomer/romeo,go make your own RR film with your damn money.Until then,STFU.

But the best part of your punkass is to jack PM's trailer of an unfinished,unreleased project and upload everywhere and call pm an asshole.Put yourself in pm's shoes and imagine somebody pulling some stunt like that.

Romeo rose/gomer pyle you are nothing but a 2 faced, douchebag punk.

I don't normally post in these kind of heated debates. All I want is for a decent film. I think Peter somewhat thinks I have a vendetta against him, but however much he scours through these forums, he will find nothing. I am not anti Peter, or anti film or whatever, all I want is a good job. If Peter is doing something that irritates me, then sure, it irritates me, but that doesn't make me anti-peter or anti-film. I read the provocative post over at TK, and if Peter believes that posting at TK is better than posting here, so be it. That is his choice. I do believe it only makes the divide between the two sites larger, but maybe that is what he wants, I don't know. The only thing that currently irritates me, is the fact that certain people are attacking UR, without even reading the posts or their content. I am not going to name names, but I believe that 'those' (Should give you a clue) people should read this thread. They would see its a balanced debate with there being some supporting Peter and some slightly disillusioned..... none of this drama. This isn't drama. Members who refer to UR as a 'bunch of malcontents' etc etc, or words to similar fashion are just being ignorant in this case and I believe if they come over and are willing to participate in the debate themselves, they will realize how wrong they were.

Now, off to the post office, see ya!

If this film costs anywhere near a million, then Pete and the studio definitely don't know what their doing. It's a documentary with interviews, still photos and short film clips. It's not like he had to go film on location in Antarctica for months. Sure he had to fly to England for a couple interviews, but that's not exorbitantly expensive. Any costs involved in paying for interviews should have been kept reasonable or the interviewee should have been axed. As I've mentioned before, who cares about Chris Holmes opinion on anything?

Paying for 'rare' photos? Again, don't bend over backwards and pay outrageous amounts to greedy people. If the owner wants outrageous amounts, walk away. Keeping most of the costs down shouldn't be too hard.

That being said, I appreciate all the work Pete and his crew have put into this film. I think it's pathetic that Pete publicly attacked over a trailer that helped spur interest in his film, but as of now, it's his film to do with as he pleases.

Great post Skeeza, but you forget how the mentality of TK works. If you do something they don't like they attack you and turn on you like rabid pitt bulls. They did it to DuBrow and Peter and most likely Kelly Garni is on the hot seat for violating Peters film or whatever. I just think certain aspects of TK are fanatical it goes well past the scope of normal fandom.

Oth quit making excuses for Peter it's lame. If he want's to come here to defend himself then fine. He doesn't need you to be his head cheerleader. Three years is a long time to get something like this done. As for the budget that's why you're careful with your money and you shoot what's important not bars on windows or horses. You keep things focused on Randy's life and his story.

And yea I did leave out Joe Holmes on that list. That was an oversight as well as Janet Robin. But I do give credit to Peter for adding in the Santoro family. They live next door to the Rhoads family and we had some mad flag football games at John Muir. Kirk had some skills.

is that the same Holmes guy that was in the documentary Metal Decline of the Western Civilization 2? the guy in the pool? If so does the guy LIVE in the swimming pool or what? everytime i see him seems like he's in a pool, haha, if that's the same guy that is, maybe the pool is a inside joke for him?

Paul Wolfe · Post by **Paul Wolfe** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 4:49 pm

I think that is the same Chris Holmes, Romeo - guitarist for W.A.S.P. and ex-husband of Lita Ford. If Randy Rhoads was a footnote in Rock 'n' Roll history, I can't imagine what Chris Holmes would be.

haha! i seen W.A.S.P. live about a year ago, and their whole set was lipsynched to a pre-recorded cd, i really thought that was lame of Blackie. He must have invested his money wisely cause he has quite a bit, Blackie that is, he recently sold one of his homes for over two million. Their opening band, blew them away when they were here, and they did it without a pre-recorded cd lol it's good to see lita ford has made a comeback lately.

Didnt pm say from the outset in 2007 that this film was going to take 3yrs?????
I know he says ON CAMERA in the 2009 memorial in front of delores that he had 3yrs to make it.
I cannot beleive how some 'fans' are demanding how the movie be made.Its totally delusional.Does steven spielberg take orders from fans on how a movie has to be made???I wouldnt be surprised if some "fans" expect to see their names in the credits also!!!
Going to england with a film crew and equipment would be hugely expensive.Whether its worth it or not is total conjecture.Who are we
to second guess?
As for live footage...I would think any new complete footage release would completely overshadow PM's movie if they were released at the same time.They probably have to figure out how to deal with that.
Again the premise of this thread is assanine.

Actually, he changed the time frame several times... adding years as he went.

As for Spielberg not catering to fans... bullshit. He knows what his fans are looking for and he delivers. If he did not, he wouldn't be the 'name' he is now.

Film making in general is done that way. Look at the two films Hulk and The Incredible Hulk. The fans said that the first movie sucked. So Marvel made the second to erase the first. The fans dictated this.

Oth, you don't contribute to other threads lately, you only jump on the controversial subject bandwagon. Why is that?

oth · Post by **oth** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 6:14 pm

because the author of this thread is so delusional its absurd.On top of his demands he then calls the the director a pos,wishes him death etc.Total psycho-no?

speilberg doesnt take orders from his fans.

this isnt a sequel and has anybody seen this movie?

You are delusional Oth, if you truly believe that statement. All filmmakers gear their films towards what their fans will pay to see. To doubt this is stupidity, pure and simple.

You still didn't answer the question, though. Why are you focusing on the negative with Romeo rather than contributing to the positive elsewhere?

You're free to do as you please, of course, it just makes your comments in this thread all the less important. If you show us your desire to be a fan, we'd take your negative comments much more seriously. Otherwise you come across as yet another troll from the other side.

oth · Post by **oth** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 6:39 pm

Yeah,ok.You are delusional as well i guess.And when 'fans' start wishing him death like gomer, speilberg calls the cops.

How do you know that this film isnt geared towards fans??What proof are you basing this on?Have you seen the finished movie?Please tell us all.
This is pure conjecture on your part.

As for the other site or pm or the movie-i dont really care.Im no fan of tk and its anal retentiveness however it doesnt mean this site should condone mindless garbage either.
Its the premise of this thread that is so absurd and delusional and its author that is so ridiculously audacious and arrogant.
