I encourage everyone to write e-mails or real letters to Warner Bros. and ask them why haven't they promoted the PPG movie. Not that I think the whole MIB KWB scenario is legit (but I wouldn't put it past that jerk off Kellner).

Imagine the egg on their faces when MIB2 comes out and it tanks after the opening weekend (a'la Wild Wild West).

Please support Craig and get a lot of word of mouth going for this movie.

Back in the day, I waited in a line around the theatre to see E.T. (yes, i'm an old fart) and think it would be an incredible [insert obscene vulgar language here] to WB for not helping out one of their own.

Here's hoping they don't screw up the DVD.

If only it were as simple as that. WB really seems deadset AGAINST the movie. Craig sent them a poster to use, which was really cool, actually("Reign, Reign, Go Away"), and it was rejected because WB wanted to make their own poster. And of course, that poster is nowhere to be seen. If WB had listened to Craig, we would've had a trailer with Harry Potter and a poster for the movie on every movie theater wall in America.

Why would Warner Bros. NOT promote one of their own movies??? It just doesn't make Economic sense. :confused:

I think Brian put the movie poster in my news post for the trailer.

Actually, I like both MIB and PPG, so I'd prefer to see 'em both do well.

But Fat Chance of that, if they're being released the same time as the second Star Wars movie. If choosing that week isn't an indication of corporate hostility, I don't know what is. And it's a completely shabby way to treat both sets of creators.

Forget those religious-right and PC whiners; Big Buisness mentalities are a much more effective threat to media creativity.

Star Wars is being released in May. Not July.

We still have three months to go.

Glad to hear it! My news source must've been out of date.

Still, it's regrettable enough they've pitting the Girls against the Men in Black. They should be fighting bad guys, not each other!
