This is the Problem with IMDb


A guy spends a ton of his own money to make a fan film (meaning he will not see a dime of the money he put into it back) and nearly everyone on IMDb bashes him.

Are you kidding me?

Since when should a movie only be made to satisfy your uber-fanboy standards?

Anyone who rips on the guy who made this or anyone else involved obviously does not understand and/or appreciate movies (especially independent film) and has no business on IMDb.

Right on. Your post made me think of this quote from Teddy Roosevelt:


"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I LIKE Batman: Dead End. Three franchises I love put together. What's not to like? Only problem I have with it is that it ended so quickly.

Then again, I'm sure if they had the budget, they would have gone on much longer.

Ha! Great phuking quote.

It reminds me of a line from Moby Dick...

"It's the easiest thing in the world for a man to pretend he has a great secret in him."

I only say that because they both address people who do nothing but front.
