Yes that’s right. In case you haven’t heard a work print copy of the new Wolverine movie has leaked onto the Internet and people are pissed off. And here come Clint Morris to give a completely one sided, idiotic and laughable approach to journalism. Sure mine is no better, but I don’t pretend to be a professional.

He asks us if we have any idea how much money goes into making a movie, as though people who peruse moviehole.net think that they grow off trees, just flat out insulting the readers intelligence. Well fuck you Clint. I do in fact have an idea about how movies are made. And then Clint goes off on his little tirade about how unfair it is for a movie to be leaked early so that people can post bad reviews and dissuade other people from seeing it. Because that’s all that people do, watch a movie and instantly call it bad? Maybe the morons who comment all over your site and your posts don’t actually watch movies but why the fuck would everyone automatically call a movie bad? What if everyone saw it and called it "Brilliant!" and said "I can’t wait till it comes out in theatres! I’ll be there at midnight!" The response from Clint would probably be something like "That’s not how it works, people don’t give good reviews" or something equally as fucking moronic. People don’t automatically bash movies just because they came out or because they are about a comic book. If someone likes a movie they are just as more likely to write about that. How much would Fox hate it if everyone who saw it said that they were going to see it in theatres and that they highly recommended it? Would they still be up in arms? Would Clint still have a job if he actually had to think or is it just so much easier with a hand up his ass?

Remember when Radiohead leaked In Rainbows for free because they were really proud of it and they figured, hey if people like it then they’ll still buy it and support us? And remember how In Rainbows went on to sell more albums than any of their others? And how some of us bought it for $80 (if you were quick to order it before the price went up to $120) for the super limited edition of the album because we were so excited about it and it was actually fucking good (in my opinion). And then some of us even went further to buy the album on vinyl again because we didn’t want to scratch the limited edition double pressing vinyl. And even those who bought just one regular copy of In Rainbows more than likely spent more on it than on a movie ticket? So leaking is such a terrible idea huh? And people won’t support it? I’m sick and fucking tried of people blaming piracy for their shitty work. Strong work is receives comes out early people are going to have a different idea of it? Or their opinions will change? How the fuck does that work? "Well if I saw the movie on Sunday I would have loved it but seeing it on a Tuesday just really made it suck." That is stupid fucking logic. A movie will be the same on any day that you see it, and since the people watching this work print with supposed unfinished effects, well it’s probably pretty obvious to the viewer. And if they like what they see they’re going to want to see it finished and on the big screen. People are pretty smart and can see when something is unfinished, leaked or whatever and will forgive shittiness if they like what they are watching. I don’t think a movie is supposed to be on long special effects shot, I think they are supposed to have stories packaged in there as well as actors that drive the movie and are more important than any explosion. If you have weak performances or a weak story, well it would suck on any day of the week no matter how early it was released. And, le’s think about this, does the fact that something doesn’t make a lot of money at the box office on its first weekend mean piracy is to blame? Citizen Kane not winning the Oscar for Best Picture! Fucking piracy! Blade Runner Opening Weekend Gross: $6,150,002. Those damn Pirates again!

So check it out Fox, you just got the biggest world wide focus group. You have no need for any more testing. If people don’t like it, they’ll point out exactly what it is they don’t like because most people are that nit picky and you can make any changes you want. If people love it then you’re fucking golden anyway. So quit your bitching, you more than likely released it on purpose so that you could see the reaction of everyone in the world. I’m pretty sure that Radiohead did that too with Hail to the Thief, Amnesiac and Kid A as well but they didn’t publicly announce that it was them until In Rainbows. And once they let everyone know that they were proud enough of their work that it could stand on its own, people flocked to them to check it out. What do you think is more popular and has a more hardcore following that would follow it to the ends of the earth: Radiohead or X-Men/Comic Books? I’d be dollars to donuts that the hardcore Comic fans outnumber Radiohead fans in both number and intensity. I bet Fox bootlegged it them self and put it up on the Internet for the publicity, I mean I don’t know how else a movie that supposedly has lacking effects and hasn’t been finished yet is if someone in Fox ripped it and put it on the Internet, not some "hacker." How else would something as unfinished as Wolverine is said to be get unleashed? Some guy breaks into Fox and starts playing the actual film and records that? Are you fucking kidding me? It is most defiantly an inside job, and I believe it was on purpose. I’ve read Watchmen about a thousand times, I knew exactly how that movie would play out and yet I was there at midnight, sitting next to Russ, who was reading the Watchmen for his ten thousandth time. Quit making excuses for tired ideas, bad acting and bad story telling. I personally have seen all the trailers for Wolverine and as I sit here next to my stack of individual issues of Origin each signed I can honestly say I can’t wait for the movie and I’ll be there at midnight.
