Slashdot Mirror

This hasn't.

http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?titleeligibility

Once a movie is released, it's pretty easy it on from the "has been downloaded a large number of times from a site" criteria. This is surely how the funnyordie stuff got up there.

But the movie in question hasn't been released yet. So it can't meet those criteria. So it must wait a little bit longer.

We submitted our (The Amateur Monster Movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1717690/ ) zero budget film to be added IMDB a few times in the past while still doing principal photography. They denied it until we released our trailer and started getting more press coverage. We don't have any distribution deal (yet) or submitted it to any festivals.

I think if they just released a trailer and got more press (which Slashdot should fix) they will be added. I think it's a matter of them simply trying to avoid adding films that most likely will never be seen by anybody but the people involved in creating them.


Here is a link to our trailer in case your curious.

We have released two indie feature films under Creative Commons licenses through Mininova using BitTorrent, and both have been listed on the IMDb. In both cases we had a very limited screening - you just rent somewhere large enough and do your own screening, that's perfectly valid. In both cases, that was enough for our flicks to get listed. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1265599/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1334226/

I know of 2 fan made ghostbuster files that are not for sell (download only that are listed on IMDB

Freddy VS Ghostbusters (only 35 min so prob should not be counted as a movie :P) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439576/
and
Return of the Ghostbusters http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1230164/

if they got listed then, I don't see why this movie can't be

And one of the criteria for General Public Interest is "has become famous for some reason and is widely talked about/referenced in non local media or the 'film community' or is now of general historic interest for some reason." By virtue of it being discussed on Slashdot, it now meets that requirement.

(And will probably also meet the "has been downloaded in 'large' numbers from some website(s)" criteria as well, due to Slashdot.)

I don't see why it shouldn't be included since even porn is allowed in the database: Dirty Bob's Xcellent Adventures 35 (Yes, that is actually the title)

Granted, it has someone in it that has done regular movies as well, they still have it in the database (along with many other of his movies)

IMDB requires indie films be released before they are listed.

http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?titleeligibility

This movie isn't out yet. He can submit the movie for inclusion once it comes out.

Is there no website that won't fall for a fake outrage story like this one? Is it really this easy to manipulate "new media"?

I love IMDB for keeping track of movies I've seen but they have some really annoying policies around what gets included. How is this any different than the 60 or Funny Or Die movies in IMDB right now? http://www.imdb.com/company/co0215655/ I don't think any of those have gotten anything other than web streaming distribution.

A while back I thought I'd add a few obscure short Russian films that are included on a DVD set I have. Mostly fascinating propaganda from the 1950s or so. About half of the films are in IMDB. I spent a good hour or so using their ancient and difficult to use system entering all of the data that I could find which was relatively substantial. Go figure, they actually had a lot of production information in the credits for the main one I wanted to submit. So I put all the data in, got the e-mail that said OK we'll take a look! Waited. Waited. Got another automated e-mail saying well you don't have enough information. Please add more. So I tried to clean things up a bit. Waited.. Waited.. finally got an e-mail saying Well, sorry, none of our staff have looked at this yet, and don't expect them to. Resubmit with more information if you want us to maybe consider it. !!!

What do they want?? There's tons of movies in there that don't even have things like director and producer credits much less acting credits. After that I just don't see the point in trying to help.

I feel bad for these guys with this torrent movie. Can't imagine they'll get very far on their own with them.

Global Frequency, anyone?

Ethics aside, wouldn't it be easier to genetically modify humans to live in a wider variety of environments? Seems like it would be a far more reachable goal in the near term than getting to these distant planets.

Genetically modifying humans is an interesting idea but it didn't work out for the folks in Pandorum - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1188729/

... the original Japanese.

What could possibly go wrong?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343818/

Just checked and could only find two Ewok movies bearing Lucas' name: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087225/ and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089110/

I did remember three though, so I might have unwittingly counted ROTJ as one of them.

While I agree the gene pool could use a bit more chlorine...what happens when one of these undesirables happens to jump the curb and take out a Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, etc? It's not just the individual hurting themselves which is what drives the lawmakers to action. Personally I'm all for on-the-spot executions for any infraction, just watch out for the white fences. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708739/

Right. And we're not hosting an intergalactic kegger down here either. ... don't touch that blanket kid. It might have smallpox or Martian ebola.

I'm sorry but First Contact happened in 1996.

Would it be possible to create a version of Nemesis that doesn't suck?

Nah, it would be hard to make a Nemesis that doesn't suck. Instead just re-watch, or check it out if you've never seen it, what is arguably the best film in the franchise and try to forget Paramount's lame remake attempt.

Of the movie Glengarry Glen Ross.

--"What's your name?"
--"FUCK YOU! That's my name!"

Dark Helmet: So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

No? Not what you were thinking of?

That's no prior art, this is!

Prior art.

Which is the reason Tim Robbins never released the soundtrack for the movie Bob Roberts.

Not to mention the TV (if you're so lucky) that has one channel with cartoons brainwashing your children to worship Obama. Oh, and it's probably spying on you. Not to mention the radio in the kitchen that you can't turn down, also saying "All hail Obama!"

And your meat diet consisting of 1 chicken a month per family member.

And being killed for your education or religious beliefs.

If you think America is as bad as North Korea, you really should watch A State of Mind

GNAA Endorses Construction of "Ground Zero Mosque"
Leonard K. Isler - New York, NY

New York, NY - GNAA today announced its endorsement of the construction of the now-infamous "Ground Zero Mosque" that is planned to be built two blocks away from the site of the September 11th World Trade Center Zionist attacks.

The construction of the mosque community center is mainly opposed by the Zionist hate group "Stop Islamization of America" and its Jewish supporters, who argue that the construction of a mosque community center would be a "victory for Islam against America".

What SIOA fails to mention is that the September 11th attacks were, in fact, not carried out by Muslims, but by Zionist Jews. To combat this misconception, GNAA has endorsed the construction of the mosque community center.

"Ms. Geller is a known Jewish sympathizer", explains GNAA associate Klerck, "she is more than happy to spread these lies through fearmongering and the exploitation of public ignorance, using this Zionist hate group as a mouthpiece. It's not even a mosque, it's a community center. There was no other way to combat these Zionist lies, we simply had to endorse the construction of the community center."

"The community center is a much-needed thing in the Muslim community of New York", explains GNAA operative Jmax, "what other location would be the ideal place to pray for the extermination of the Jewish race five times a day? Insha'Allah!"

Ms. Geller declined to comment in person, speaking only in a brief interview conducted over the phone. The Jewish mouthpiece merely said "we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children", wiping humus from her mouth while dining at a Bruegger's in lower Manhattan, and dialing her cell phone with her nose.

SIOA has declined to comment on the synagogue that is planned to be built on Ground Zero.

In the movie "Men In Black," Tommy Lee Jones' character makes an offhand remark to the effect of, "The aliens didn't make contact until we indicated serious interest in making contact by setting up the Men In Black program."

I wonder at what threshold the aliens browse /.?

Either get your humor meter re calibrated, up your Prozac or just go look at the useful instructional video.

It was Johannesburg. I saw the video.

..and look what poor Wikus got for his trouble??? Fuck the prawn!!! (district 9 movie)

Contact, been there done that.

To be honest, I never really understood how anyone could have seen his early movies and thought it would be a good idea to give him the money to do LOTR.

What about Heavenly creatures? It's certainly a much more adult (as in grown up, not as in porn) work than the likes of Bad Taste, and a fantasy movie in my opinion, although based on a true story. Having said that though, I'm not convinced that he was the optimal choice for the LOTR movies - nor am I convinced that they had to be filmed at all. Filming the Hobbit makes more sense to me.

This reminds me of a movie with Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx "Law Abiding Citizen". Gerard Butler uses his intellect to really screw with the system. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1197624/

"Because they put a chemical in their food to make you crave for it nightly smartass!"

Not "crave for it nightly". It's crave it fortnightly -- you know, every two weeks.

And, it was KFC not McD's.

Are you kidding? When the flowerbed under the mailbox is so comfortable? What's three days in a sleeping bag when you've got The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? on order?

"What interests me is that it recorded approximately eighteen hours of static."

Seriously folks, this thing will be used by governments against civilians as every other piece of technology already has been. It's about time people develop efficient countermeasures and push for laws limiting how these drones can be used before their usage is pushed using the same old tactics (terrists, think of the children, etc.) or every home window will have one of those sneaking behind Eyeborgs style.

I don't know, the idea of smart mice gives me the creeps .

Or it could get you 7 Oscars.

But it still wouldn't be the first case of plot recycling.

I think the more likely inspiration is Wild Blue Yonder which was a fantastic looking movie with an inane plot.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096754/ is the kind of movie requiring some real submarine footage. The other one's Smurfahontas in CGI (quite an accomplishment nonetheless - that should be spared the sad sequel fate of Highlander) - so why would anyone risk their life (and/or sub) for what they could so convincingly render in 3D anyway?

You didn't finish... where's the link to Kevin Bacon?

here :)

Let me guess, Keanu Reeves was visiting and hit the right tone with his keyboard.

You mean Mr. Payback? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113863/ It was shown in Peoria. I remember going on opening weekend. The theater had spent a good chunk of money to add the voting "joysticks" We got 3 half hour runs through the movie for our admission fee.

It's not new:

Perhaps even this:

I also remember hearing about make-your-own-adventure type movie experiments in move theaters with the audience getting to vote via a simple electronic device attached to their seats at key scenes of the movie.

Totally real scientific concept. After all, Syndrome used it to overpower Mr Incredible.

Oh yeah, and I'm Your Man.

As I posted just above you, Tender Loving Care. Not to mention Phantasmagoria.
