Don't you fear the yetis in Rio?
Watching my copy now. So weird that I just noticed that they repeat the same lines over and over. Was that mainly when they dubbed it or was the script that poorly written?

Just watched the behind the scenes on the blu ray and now knowing most of the film was almost adlib makes the movie more fun!

Just placed orders for two copies (one for me, one for my brother who I IOU'd one for a Christmas). Getting them tomorrow, so excited I'm gonna barf!

edit: Of course, I just realized that he doesn't have a BR player... oops.)

edit2: that's not what Amazon says. Discs 1. For gently caress's sake, now to delete/edit the order again.

There are no BD/DVD combo versions for sale that I know of. The confusion may have come from reviewers being sent both.

If you still haven't seen it by Friday (and you're not in a foreign land), write me via Kickstarter so that I can track you.

Also, a note to anyone planning to fundraise online: giving someone a refund won't get them out of your hair. Ever.

While I'm sorry you've had to deal with yet another unnecessary hassle, following that thread has been hilariously entertaining for me. I keep waiting for someone to point out the obvious getting your money back means you don't get your rewards for free but nope it's one big pity party over there.

There's not much to say about this guy, really. Compared to what Fake New Zealand Torgo put everyone through, all his emails, comments, and posts aren't even approaching a hassle. It's just a good opportunity to point out that if you ever fundraise online, you can expect at least one guy (it's always a guy) that can't be pleased. With his disc in hand he compliments the end result one moment, then declares me a conman, a creep, and/or a baby in the next.

But to put things in perspective: out of 818 backers, I had maybe 5 or 6 refund requests, all of which I gave either a whole or partial refund to. All but this one were completely civil, and their reasons were understandable. When delays started stacking up, I expected a much worse outcome. And yet, as bad as things looked last year, over 800 backers were still sticking with me. It helped to screen the restoration as much as we could, showing everyone that we had some results ready, but that could only go so far.

The most disturbing takeaway from the experience was that I received no reprimands, warnings, or repercussions from Kickstarter itself at any time. It didn't seem to matter how far past the ETA we got, who was threatening me, or how secretive we had to be during the legal battle. Might seem strange that I'm saying this, but if I fundraise The Atomic Brain, it could be better for backer confidence if I use a platform with higher levels of accountability. I'd like to make it clear to everyone how intent I am on meeting my stated deadlines on that title.

It's the internet in general. No matter what you say, do, or offer there will always be that one person who will find the one tiny thing to nitpick about and they will blow it up to the largest affront to god that has ever happen. And of course there will be those who piggy back onto that one guys thing to make it about their crap!

Ben posted on Facebook that there are only a handful of screen prints left in the fundraising store, and he knocked a few bucks off each of them.

I particularly love the 2-color faux-movie poster version, which I bought and framed as soon as it first went up for sale. It's also become the basis for the vinyl LP's cover art.

I'm incredibly tempted to engage him on that forum.

I really probably shouldn't; "don't touch the poop", etc.

Somebody in the US Postal Service is stealing and hoarding Manos: The Hands of Fate Blu-Rays, probably to enact some eldritch ritual. J'accuse.

I knew that USPS First Class could be a real roll of the dice time-wise, but it's another thing to actually see what happens over the tracker. I've watched a shipment to Hawaii get there in only four days, while someone the next state over from me waited over two weeks.

I still like imagining a limping postal worker named Torgeson hoarding copies while laughing maniacally in his basement cubicle.

Funny, I funded this Kickstarter as an engagement present. Seems fitting that the DVD shows up on our 2nd wedding anniversary. :v:
