See, I really don't want to have this distributed. As long as we have the understanding that this is NOT to be distributed to anyone, even relatives, then I will synch up the unfinished audio to the film and send out copies. Which you should only ask for if you cannot wait, because the impact is less than it would be.

Hmmm...well, as you know, Trooperman, I for one have been following this project very intently for a LONG time, now. I contributed some voice acting to Joe which I absolutely cannot wait to see on film. But here we have Trooperman saying that he'll send out copies of the film to those who have been following it very closely, while PaulIsDead is discouraging him from doing this. This is the problem: I'm getting the impression from Trooperman that with senior year ending and college applications/interviews/etc starting up soon, he may never get around to touching this project again, if not for a very, very long time. Trust me, the transition from senior year to college is still very fresh in my head. I had tons of projects I was involved with during that time period that I've yet to touch since entering college and I feel really bad about it. But, such is life. Frankly, I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather have a nice, 95% completed version of the film in my hands than have to wait years to ever see it--or worse, NEVER see it. I don't mean to sound greedy, but considering how unique and exciting this project has been since the start, we've been left in the dark about it for a while--which, considering Trooperman's situation, is perfectly understandable. What I'm saying is, I for one, DO want a copy of this film. Even if you feel unsatisfied with the prospect of only being able to release a "mostly-complete" version of the film, you needn't worry: after all, not only would I not WANT to distribute it online, I don't even know how!

First of all, I'm sorry Weezer- I had told you I would send you that footage. Secondly, I don't know if I would call it a "nice, 95% completed version." The voices are the problem. They are not mixed correctly right now. It's really a job for two people- Adywan and me. Adywan is very hard at work on his own project right now, but hopefully we will both get some free time and get this done. Thirdly, this will be completed and completed soon. if Adwan finishes his (great) project and gets a few months that he can devote to this, then a 2008 release seems very likely.
I can hear you all laughing.
But seriously, we will do our best.
Happy New Year!
