Timbo Speaks! That SyFyPortal interview... Part 1

[RustiSwordz]

Are we there yet?

[jeffwaynefan]

If we hang about, one will be along in a bit.

[Ashe Raven]

Here's one XD

[Balrog]

So where's part 2?

Are we going to be promised it for months and months until someone finds it in Walmart?

We are all keen to hear what else the man has to say, or has Tom Cruise told him not to publish it?

[mctoddridesagain]

Or has he at last realised what a complete arse he makes of himself every time he gives one of his paranoid conspiracy rants he calls an interview?

[RustiSwordz]

hes probably run out of people to blame.

[mctoddridesagain]

True, after all, he's only got himself left, and he's never gonna blame him!

[Phil]

Part 2 has just gone online. It seems you have been noticed, Mr Mctodd!

Full Kudos to McTodd for making Timbo cry in his cornflakes. ;D

Blimey, so I have! ;D

One forum member, who displays the banner "MakePenTimboHistory" beneath their posts, recently criticized Hines on War of the Worlds Online for "insisting" that his period version of "War of the Worlds" was going to be "a big-budget film costing anything from $10m to $42m, with [effects] the equal of Star Trek and 'The Matrix.'" As recently as October, 2005, another contributor said that Hines was claiming that he had a budget of $40 million. Hines says remarks like these are misleading.

"This is one of the areas that the attackers have in some cases deliberately misquoted me and projected words that I never said," Hines said. "We have never shared the budget of our period version of 'War of the Worlds.' Not once. Prior to September 11, 2001, our budget was $42 million. But that was then. We were much tighter with the final production."

The $42 million Hines refers to was for an updated version of "War of the Worlds" that he was planning to make before 9/11. Hines decided to make a period film after the events of that day. Both Hines and his critics may, however, have forgotten Pendragon's March, 2005, press release, which said that a planned book on the making of the film would track "the hit the film took in terms of budget, dropping from $42 million to $8 million and eventually up again to $20+ million."

Love the way he trips himself up again and again... Tit.

And he could at least have quoted from my scathing letter to his missus.

You little locomotive, McTodd you... ;D ;D

I just posted part 2 of the interview in it's own thread.
Unfreaking beleivable.
Comaparing his crappy film with "The Wizard of Oz" and "Casablanca".
And he is still bad with figures.
SOmeone on another site figured if his numbers were accurate, he spent $444.44 a day on food for cast and crew.
Who the hell was catering, Wolfgang Puck or Gordon Ramsey?

[EvilNerfherder]

Perhaps we should club together and buy him a calculator so he can get his figures sorted.

[Balrog]

Or just club him on the head with a calculator.
