Without the cancer storyline in FUBAR, the movie would still be funny but it wouldn't have any drive and it would just be a lame movie. I'm not saying FUBAR is an incredible film, but the cancer storyline suddenly brought the movie from one level to another.Johnny Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029128002958507339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961602667889136652.post-56764366790665586202008-01-15T12:09:00.000-06:002008-01-15T12:09:00.000-06:00I won the Ultimate Fanboys Contest and got to be t...I won the Ultimate Fanboys Contest and got to be there for the re-shoots in early December. <BR/><BR/>All I can say is NO COMMENT.<BR/><BR/>- RobFETTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15810515904080685123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961602667889136652.post-46525947865773026652008-01-15T11:43:00.000-06:002008-01-15T11:43:00.000-06:00AICN = Ain't It Cool NewsAICN = Ain't It Cool NewsThe CineManiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597232547026898685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961602667889136652.post-8712596883824179472008-01-15T09:47:00.000-06:002008-01-15T09:47:00.000-06:00T-What is AICN?

The LA audience in May didn't deflate at any point during the screening...Despite the Apatow research. It was lively and fun. The Star Wars connection is the heart of the film but the character's motivation was its soul. I would hate to see Fanboys lose any of that spirit. I hope the producers and studio execs ultimately stick with the directors original vision. <BR/><BR/>Jimmy Mac<BR/>The Force-Cast<BR/>The Force.Net/PodcastAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961602667889136652.post-28835334748820757862008-01-14T17:34:00.000-06:002008-01-14T17:34:00.000-06:00Please don't come to Austin, douchebag.

Having seen nearly 45 minutes of said movie in various snippets while at Celebration IV in LA, it seems to me to be an unnecessary change. Having listened to the individuals most directly involved, Kyle Newman and all of the principal cast, speak so warmly, fondly, affectionately concerning their motivations for participating in this production, it aggravates and angers me that an 'outsider', even if it is Apatow, is coming in at the 11th hour and changing the entire direction of this project. I have been looking forward to the release date of this project since last Memorial day, eagerly awaiting what, for me, seemed to be a movie that would speak to my level of interest in the Star Wars universe, as similarly displayed by all of the convention attendees and the makers of this movie. Why the need to change things? I understand most people go to movies for escapist fare, but why the problem with the storyline? The joy and depth of caring the characters display by their desire to do something for their terminally ill friend is a wonderful movitation for the attempt to break into Skywalker Ranch, rather than for some mean-spirited, self-centered reason. I think changing this is a serious mistake and, if I discover that this has actually happened prior to the movie's release, I will not be spending my monies on a ticket. I do not know of Mr. Apatow or the Mssrs. Weinstein keep tabs on blogs such as yours or on internet comments and buzz, but, speaking for myself, any serious changes in the direction or main storyline will cause me to not attend this movie.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for giving me an opportunity to express my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961602667889136652.post-53658408174142602422008-01-14T16:37:00.000-06:002008-01-14T16:37:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
