The Manga Me And Giving WB A Piece Of My Mind

[kalalanekent]

That turned out pretty cute, actually.

Oh, and...

Dear WB,

You have always been my absolutely favorite studio, bar none, since I was a child. You have always impressed me with the quality of films you have put out over the years. But this is the most foolish thing I have seen you do. Hot on the heels of a huge success with The Dark Knight, too. Fans of Harry Potter, a series which has always traditionally been a huge box-office draw for you at Christmastime with families, are now going to be forced to wait an extra seven months, at the least, for a film they were promised would be released in two months. Shame on you. Have you any clue how many fans you are disappointing, this writer included? Not to mention all of those that have already made plans for meet-ups within the fandom. For shame.

And then, to add insult to injury, you are going to try to make it up by releasing Twilight, which has had so much publicity recently early? What is that? Just because the final book was just released, you're going to try to rush it in for a quick buck? I apologize for thinking you knew better. Also keep in mind that that might just be a little stupid, considering that a good portion of fans have been horribly disappointed by the final book. How many tickets might that lose you? 

As for your excuse of having no large film for summer...

*takes a deep breath to calm herself*

*doesn't know if she can do it*

*decides she can't*

Readers, prepare for CAPSLOCK RAGE.

IF YOU MORONS HAVE GOTTEN YOUR ASSES IN GEAR AND STARTED FILMING MAN OF STEEL IN MAY LIKE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO, ON TOP OF WAITING SO LONG TO GET THE G-D SCRIPT TOGETHER, YOU'D HAVE YOUR DAMN BIG-BUDGET FOR NEXT SUMMER FINISHED AND IN THE CAN BY JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS NOW, WOULDN"T YOU?!?! IT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT AND HOW DARE YOU MAKE THE HP FANS PAY FOR THAT!

And that is why all of this just makes my blood boil. You screw up and now two fandoms, two LARGE fandoms, have to pay for it.

NO FRIKKIN' LOVE,

Me

P.S. I really hope this bites you in the ass. Meh.

ETA: I stand corrected on the studio for Twilight, thanks to chickadilly. That was actually the thing that made me the least angry, but now that makes me all the more bitter. Idiots. 

 

 

ETAAGAIN: I'm adding a graphic that Lea found on another site to throw in the fandom's feelings.

GOOD RANT! *hi-fives you*

I have always had a love/hate relationship with the Brothers Warner. I showed my love by seeing TDK in the theatre three times this summer. (Let's not even get into how many times I went back to see any of the HP movies when they were in theatres...or when SR was in theatres, OMG!) But, right now?? HATE. HATEHATEHATE! Everytime I see another fan posting his/her dismay over this move, or an article on the interwebs, spelling out why they made this move...I become freshly enraged.

Bad form, Warner Brothers. You are filled with suck and stupidity. And you stink for it, you lousy lint-lickers!

*pokes you and whispers*

Get the horses, pitchforks, and torches ready. The fandom will meet at midnight outside the Starbucks. WE WILL PREVAIL!
