@Maryjane

Just came back from an early screening and all your fears are realized in the film.

I saw the trailer and was apalled that the friendly, polite Klaatu was replaced by nasty, violent Kee-nu…and a charming single mother had to become the Politically Correct “Doctor” Benson… complete with a bi-racial child (gag). Too many people never “got” the premise of the original film to begin with- and I wonder if these bozos did- that the robots were given complete control over human aggressive behavior, and THEY were the ones that were a threat to Earth, if it “continues to pursue its present course” and take nukes into their territory. But this time, it looks like they’re just coming to attack- and wipe us out regardless!!!

I know I am a bit late to jump in on your battle with fox, but I too have faced similiar threats with fox back in the late 90’s for some Simpsons related images. Fox went after several fan sites, and the action even recieved it’s own name, “Foxed.”

T, can I call you MR T,? Your so right on bro! And you too Vic. (That’s why this site will ultimatly rule cyberspace and the delta quadrant) (borg face) ¤÷)

(MY NEXT COMMENTS ARE BASED ON THE POST AT AICN.COM AND DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH SCREEN RANT OR ITS AFFILIATES). Aaahhh………
You know its so,, how do I type lame in another way?, Science Fictionally Retarded to have a supposed benevolent alien race condem another younger planet/race for doing the same thing they did to there own planet and travel to that planet, rape and pillage the resources and then have the green alien balls to say “shape up or will kill you…”

But with some CGI and maybe a cool looking Totem robot of deathly looking laser beams coming out of its eyes, they can pull off a 30 mill weekend ?

But hey this is all based on some new writer at AICN.COM.
The MAD magazine of sci_fi.blog sites (IMO).

Let’s all remember that.

Good work Vic!!!!

Fox has to be the most awful studio in the world. They aggrsively attack people who comment on their projects, do everything on the cheap, and holdno pre-existing material sacred. This last crime I cannot forgive. The aliens are going to destroy us if we destroy our planet through global warming? How about this: shoot down Al Gore as he’s wasting incredible amounts of fuel jetsetting to speaking engagements, between the time he spends burning electricity in his enormous mansion.

Yup, I think this movie will suck big-time and none of us will bother with it.

The only way Fox can ensure they’ll break even is to hide the suckage at whatever cost.

After further consideration, I’ve put my article back online.

I’m in touch with AICN and another site that wrote a similar article to mine and still has it online.

I will very likely be putting the info up again. To me this is complete confirmation that this movie will suck royally.

Personally I’d suggest contacting the studio to see what exactly they want down and why.

I get the feeling that half the time these things are just misunderstandings.

Over at Row Three we just had a small independent studio threaten us but when we contacted them we found out that they were just worried because one of their previous movies was completely pirated and thrown onto MySpace.

The people searching the web didn’t really know that we were just posting a trailer for their new movie. Once we talked to them everything was fine

There is a sequel to “The Arrival” but Sheen is not in it.

Vic, tell FOX to suck it and suck it lightly…that being said I found your site by accident recently and this is now one of my GO TO sites for movie news….AICN is just whiner central now…

Yeah Vic I just re-read both your post and AICN post (that’s still up on their site btw) and I don’t see why FOX would single you out unless they think Screen Rant has more of an influence on mainstream intellidgent fans of sci_fi / action relative films.
I mean come on have you read some of the comments over there,, haha

Screen Rant — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:35:56 +0000

Um, you’re joking, right? I credited and linked to them in the original post.

My sense of humor is quite low at the moment.

did you just narc on AICN?!? I can’t believe you would do that! Was that your plea-bargain with Fox Legal to avoid a fine?

haha – I love the law

Guys, check the updated post. Fox legal contacted me saying that I was VIOLATING COPYRIGHT by commenting on a review of a script which I didn’t even ever see or quote from directly.

Nice, huh?

Who are these people that make these movie decisions?

I cannot understand while all movies on the whole are getting dumber and dumber…even when ALL the fans know it? How do I get one of their jobs?

What the heck happened to X-men 3?! I hate you Ratner…off-topic I know
