Either You Have Big Balls or You Just Like to Hear Yourself Whine
From someone in the Electronic Entertainment Industry Network on LinkedIn:
“Transformers Revenge of The Fallen will be pulled out of the theater tommorrow.
This picture will be rereleased due to company reorganization.
This needs to be done immediately because of negligence and possible drugs within organizations. There are unorthodox behaviors and stalking happening that will not be tolerated. harassment in this industry is not to be tolerated. People’s personal privacy should not be violated and stalking should not be tolerated. Unprofessionalism should be cleaned up permanently.
If by chance my name did not appear in the credits of Revenge of The Fallen, that is an error by Industrial Light and Magic. I sequenced supervised the shots on my reel. I am requesting that the movie be pulled and rereleased with my name in the credits.
Credability is a must. This entire experience has been disgusting and humiliating.”
(This is taken directly from his post in the group, including all the spelling errors. There was also a link to this gentleman’s “Code of Conduct” that he wrote himself, which I could dig up if need be.)
So let me see if I understand this. You work for ILM and Dreamworks, and worked on some of the sequences in Transformers 2. Your name may not be in the credits at this time. What does that part have to do with the drug & stalking points you bring up in before you mention this? You know they would fix the credits for the DVD/BluRay release so you would be properly listed.
It’s still pretty damn ballsy of you to just say that the movie is going to be pulled. Yeah right. I don’t think you have that kind of pull when a movie is pulling in numbers like $60 million for opening on a Wednesday. So either you have a very large set of balls, or you are just throwing a tempertantrum over a small oversight which can easy be fixed if you acted professional and calm about the situation.

I don’t think this has anything to do with the size of his balls. He’s whining and complaining in the wrong place. Demanding that a picture be pulled just shows you how deluded he is and not that he’s kamikaze brave.
As you said, the studio won’t even know of the post and if by chance someone mentions it, they will all have a good laugh.
