I always just assumed he was some kind of dinosaur story.

Is anti-matter's situation lol-worthy?

Oh yeah.  That guy is so full of himself, even to this day.  Have you ever been to his forum?  He removed ANH:R from his fanedit database because adywan SOLICITED DONATIONS IN AN EVIL SCHEME TO DEFRAUD THE MOVIE STUDIOS (my phrasing, not his).

He said what????? This guy was an ass from day 1. He started making out i was receiving donations in exchange for copies of the DVD's just because his posts asking about distribution of ANH:R were over looked. A bit of proof that he was just an attention seeker who doesn't like it when something he does or says isn't of interest to the vast majority. But then he posts crap like this:

Anti-Matter said:

If I donate money to Adywan, it's not because I want to improve his computer equipment. It is because I want a copy of the DVD. End of story.

This guy also emailed me about "buying" a copy for a donation before posting this and i told him that the donations are only used for equipment so i could complete the project and would never be to secure a copy as this would be made available for free only. Then he got all high and mighty about all this. I saw the crap posted over at digital fanedits about removing my edit from their database. And anti-crapper posted this there:

I participated in that thread when it turned into a donate-athon. The entire episode was repugnant, but as is common there, excuses and denial prevailed. I agree there was probably an element of politics involved.

There's not much grey area when it comes to money and fanedits. This applies to everyone.

If it was so repugnant to him what whats going on over here why did he continue to promote his edit in here for another 2 months?

He only started to get pissy when all the attention wasn't getting piled upon his edit. The guy is a joke and so is that digital fanedit site which seems to have been started up to promote Anti-matters work and not much else really. He's "prologue" blog is even a pop-down link in the main menu but nobody else's is.

Yep.  His website/forum is a joke.  Here's the thread:

http://digital-fanedits.com/index.php/Forum/Digital-Fanedits-Topics/135-quotStar-Wars-Revisitedquot-removed-for-violating-financial-conduct/

He also accused JasonN of stealing ideas from his edit:

If you are following the Prologue fanedit (either the Part 2a screener or the change tracker thread), watch from time 0.21:

Seem familiar?

When I saw that even the same transition shot is used (i.e., the turnaround), I become intrigued by this guy and his Star Wars edit. I traced the project here:

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/STAR-WARS-ATTACK-OF-THE-FEDERATION-TWILIGHT-OF-THE-REPUBLIC-THE-BLACK-KNIGHT-RISES/topic/10114/

Looks promising: lots of good (or at least popular/supported) ideas, some effects work, etc. The author goes out of his way to credit and praise certain sources for his inspiration and direction, but there is no mention or hint of the Prologue project, so I start considering how rare it must be for two strangers to come up with the same idea to re-use a deleted scene in the same new way for the same new plot device.

But then I checked our Community menu and I wasn't so amazed. Someone named JasonN registered a Digital Fanedits account one day in January and has never logged in since. Presumably he got everything he needed.

Whoever you are, I have to agree with one of your OT buddies, bkev, who likes your idea of meeting Anakin at the fight. And all along I thought it was my idea.

Damn! Just when I thought I was contributing something original...  LOL

Jeez, this guy really thinks that he is so special that someone would bother to register at his stupid self promotion website just to steal an idea? JasonN said himself that he got the original idea from a commentary track (phantom editors, i think). People come up with the same ideas all the time.  God, this guy needs taking down a peg or two.;)

You want that I should teach him a lesson, boss?  You want that I should cut him? </40s gangster>

Cut him?  What kind of old-timey gangster are you?  If you were worth half a bottle of moonshine, you'd rub him out!

I'd rather make 'im a picture that isn't so damned big!!! ^_~

Ah, that's better.  I like my Brando like I like my coffee:  small, black and white, and hard to see.
