I know what's true, and I've made my case as clearly as I know how.
There's nothing more to be said.

The problem, Victor, is that when you pass along information second-hand information from Glen Larson, you do treat it as factual. Yet when Shapeshifter quotes his production contacts, you say it's speculation. Bit of a double standard, don't you think?victor kros wrote:- You didn't learn first hand nor did you experience first hand how the marketing and advertising was handled, how the script was revised and what Andron was asked to change to accomidate Ford's needs. You were not there in the editing room nor did you sit in on meetings because as you've said before you do not work for the studio remember? You would not have access.Shapeshifter wrote:I will say this again.
Based on conversations with people who were there, the reason the movie clocked in at 79 minutes was because NBC would not give them the budget to make the script they commissioned. That decision was an economic one, based on their own traditional budgets for this type or project. That is not speculation, theory, or spin. That is simple fact. A theory, on the other hand, is saying that Ford is telling NBC how long to make their shows so they can run more commercials. That is theory completely unsupported by fact, and is utterly ridiculous. Then you spin that by trying to denigrate the other side's view so that both have equal weight. They don't.
Therefore all you know and have experienced is what people have TOLD YOU and that is speculation because you didn't experience the knowledge for yourself. You have no factual weight to your statements in this subject, only an opinion. I on the other hand have said nothing that is "absolute" or conveyed as "undisputed fact" in this thread", I have as I started out said, "in my opinion", "I think", and "in my view".
I am not saying your information is wrong or correct, I am saying your approach to declare it as fact is wrong and misleading. I don't blame people for their mistakes but I do ask they account for them. That last statement of yours in bold makes no sense whatsoever. I did not say my theory was factual, you assumed that.
You've given this and other boards much information about the Larson project (which is much appreciated), but how much of what you report did you witness first hand? Are you in the room with the meetings with the Weinsteins, or are you just passing along information after a chat with Glen? And what about his legal conflicts with NBC - are you physically in the room with the lawyers when they talk to their client? Don't think so.
Again, could the information from the Larson camp that you claim is factual meet the criteria that you set for Shapeshifter? Fair is fair.
