If there is to be any crunching on the project you cannot blame Sanders for it, he was asked to work on the project and I’m sure staying pat on whatever was done wasn’t an option so here we are…I don’t know if the decision to go with Sanders was a good or not but we’ll find out soon enough…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-80734356393086901032009-03-16T08:49:00.000-07:002009-03-16T08:49:00.000-07:00Back up the reality truck here for a second...Im a...Back up the reality truck here for a second...Im a hater? Im not the one calling people idiots, calling people pompous, and telling people what not to discuss. If thats not losing your cool...<BR/><BR/>Regardless, I stand by anything I have said on this board, and have been supportive of my fellow artists, who, even though will be paid well in a difficult economy, will have a strenuous 9 months ahead of them. There's more to happiness than money, and being away from your family night and day isnt a good thing.<BR/><BR/>And the "other thread" you mention, I assume is the MVA thread...all I did was illustrate my dislike for the MVA trailer and character designs, and apparently that struck a chord with you. (for the record, I wasnt rude nor did I stoop to name calling there either, simply expressing my opinion, which I believe is still allowed) Unfortunately you've shown your hand as a (biased?) Dreamworks employee, and thats fine. I like Dreamworks, I just simply stated I dont like their current offering. Is that so bad?<BR/><BR/>For the record, anger and criticism are two separate things, and I think Ive only exhibited criticism in my posts. If you've interpreted it as anger, you are imagining things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-11797741474822678252009-03-16T08:22:00.000-07:002009-03-16T08:22:00.000-07:00The people who are going to be crunching as you sa...The people who are going to be crunching as you say are paid very well and in today’s economy they’re the lucky ones but at the end of the day if they can’t or don’t want to do the work they can always just leave. I don’t think anyone has a gun pointed at their heads to work at DW or any one place.<BR/><BR/>It’s obvious from your comments here and the other thread that you are a hater and the world doesn’t need your types. I don’t know whether your anger is driven by competition or maybe DW upset you in some way and to be honest most people don’t care so you can stay or continue with the bashing or not, it is up to you.<BR/><BR/>PS: I'm afraid you are imagining things if you think anyone is losing their cool here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-47500346463912844412009-03-16T06:48:00.000-07:002009-03-16T06:48:00.000-07:00The only person losing their cool here is you, sir...The only person losing their cool here is you, sir.<BR/><BR/>I think its only fair we discuss Sanders when we are talking about his movie and how the artists are going to crunch their brains out due to his changes.
