: You guys had two of you writing it for all of you to play parts, man. A little indie thing. The "wizard" thing might have been done too, but I'm talking about a full on string of posts that had stuff like "Come on guys, we can do this" and whatnot. It certainly was not a joke.
: And I didn't say you'd never make it. I made fun of that specific idea. And a whole lot of other specific ideas. Like that one.
That's how we interpreted the criticism particular... as an overall fuck-you.
But, man, I honestly don't remember a sincere attempt to write a Rider movie. I'm not saying you're lying... but all I remember is a joking attempt to figure out what a story about us would be like, who'd be what kind of character, etc.
I could well have just forgotten it... but it doesn't ring a bell.
: No, ABP was already filmed. Big Helium Dog was on the chopping block. Kevin was going to post the script on the site and let you guys decide whether or not he should make it. I remember telling him to just give the BHD money to you guys to make your RIDERS ON THE STORM movie, but he didn't listen.
I remembered it as ABP's post-production being up in the air... but again, I really don't have the best memory of those times.
Certainly, it effected you a lot closer to home, so I'll buy that your memory of it would be a lot better than mine.
