SUNDAY. NO PETER JACKSON. LIED TO BY A FELLOW MEMBER OF THIS SITE! APOLOGIES TO EVERYONE.
Oscar Award Winning Director/Producer PETER JACKSON will be next week's Karmacritic radio show guest! Special thanks to Dan The Man Gadberry for setting this up! This is almost to much! Peter is a hero to a most of us--and what an honor it will be to have him spend some time with us! For a lot of us, this might be a once in a lifetime opportunity to speak with this amazingly talented person! A LVING LEGEND! Don't forget to call in! The number is 347 215 8713 I believe everyone will be allowed only ONE QUESTION or PRAISE since our time with Mr. Jackson will be limited. So prepare yourselves! And then after that---
RACHEL LYNN will announce the winner to the ON A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT music video contest! It's going to be a good day. A very good day. Submitted by Ezequiel on September 1, 2008 - 1:49pm. |
AND BRAD....PLEASE
Brandford, please, if you call, I beg of you, I BEG OF YOU--PLEASE DO NOT ASK
EZEQUIEL
Should probably let
Should probably let blogtalkradio know about this cause they'd obviously feature us on the front page with a guest this big.
I AGREE WITH CAPTAIN YOUNG BLOOD
I'm sure Marco will take care of it!
EZEQUIEL
So that's
why they call him "Dan The Man".
real?
Is this for real? I think Peter Jackson is amazing and have been a fan since THE FRIGHTENERS. I especially like his no holds barred, complete insight into production BEHIND THE SCENES philosophies, which have had an incredible effect on me personally.
- PJR
YES IT'S FOR REAL!
It's as for reals as as for reals can get! Crazy!
EZEQUIEL
fucking A
It's as for reals as as for reals can get! Crazy!
EZEQUIEL
FUCKING A
ACTUALLY
Dan The Man had been working on this for a while. Niether he, Marco or myself wanted to say anything until we knew for sure. I had thought it wasn't ever going to happen. And then Dan The Man surprised us all when he made the special announcement on last sunday's show!
I'm super excited!
EZEQUIEL
Its all magic, you just
Its all magic, you just have to believe.
damn it...where am I when all this goes on?????
Crap....
awesoem and best EZe money.
STEWS!
You're walking half across the United States on foot with tigers pee'ing on you and sleeping under thunderstorms and poo'ing in the bushes!
EZEQUIEL
thats true
Its all magic, you just have to believe.
lol
Call me as my phone got wet and it useless.
leave you rnumebrs again since I cant get any inof off my phone.
Peas
Is this still going to happen?
Dan called me the other night and said Peter was getting cold feet because he didn't like or last show.
Uh-oh..
I didn't know that...! ... I guess I'd better call Dan now and see what's the latest...!
Since he hasn't called you
Maybe he's sorted it all out. I'm sure he would have let you know.
crossing my fingers...
I left Dan yet another voicemail :)
The people at BlogTalkRadio understandably think this is a big deal, and have been calling me nearly every day asking to confirm is the Peter Jackson will really be with us tomorrow, so if we get a no-show, they wont be happy with us. Ouch. Let's see what happens, I'm crossing my fingers :)
FOR THE RECORD!
I really REALLY hope that Peter is on. Dan announced it on last weeks show.
So if there is a no show, Marco and Ezequiel are not to blame!
EZEQUIEL
The Pusher
I have to say, I think we've been pretty tame and fairly well-behaved in the last few shows. But, if the man says he walks, brother, he fuckin' walks. Hate to see it, hate to say it.
If it's just ridiculous, it's bad.
IF IT IS RRIIIDDDIICCUUULLOOUUSS, then it's okay.
SLAM IT UP
We have been well behaved. almost too well behaved. damn it. We gotta change that.
I don't think anyone should trip on the P.J. thing. Dan set this up. If P.J. decides not to do it a minute before, then he makes that decision. Any of the guests reserve that right.
Alright. I'm trying to figure out why the fuck I've been up since 3 am. damn.
EZEQUIEL
Honestly
I can't imagine Peter Jackson having a problem with the content of our show. He seems like a pretty open minded individual. I gave Marco some contact info. I think if he doesn't show we need to call and find out what really happened.
CAPTAIN LADY PARKER IS RIGHT...AS ALWAYS!
We're talking about P.J. here. The man who made some of the craziest horror flicks ever. Do you really think he would think that our show is too wild? I mean, c'mon, he's a bad ass filmmaker who probably kicks it with his homies and talks about films the way we do.
Of course we respect P.J. without any doubt. But I've spoken to people just as famous and they're all down to earth and fun.
If the pope was our guest, I'd still ask him what his favorite kind of meat is. And I know he would say nun.
haha
EZEQUIEL
Hahaha Wow Peter Jakson in
Hahaha Wow Peter Jakson in our pirate ship!
I think too he don't think the show is too crazy... I have always see them as a freak and crazy genius. I'm sure he will enjoy our madness and a wild show between fellows filmmaker instead of a bunch of fans kissing her ass anywhere else.
Can't wait to the show!
RETURN OF THE KING
Isn't it ironic that Peter Jackson played a pirate in RETURN OF THE KING?
time?
What time does the show start?
SHOWTIME IS AT
show starts at 4 pm here our time in Cali. so what does that make it over there?
here is the number once more!
347 215 8713
CALL IN CAPTAIN BOO!
EZEQUIEL
ok
Most definitely.... got my question quite ready.
my area code
I'm on & my area code is 614
PJ was NEVER going to be on the show.
At least that is the OFFICIAL word from WETA.
BTW, your friend is a total liar. He doesn't even have one emmy let alone 2 or 3.
If he shows you an Emmy, it's a fake he had made.
anon
Says the totally anonymous user that's too cowardly to sign a real name....LAME, indeed.
FYI Dan Gaddenberry is probably referring to regional Emmy's, of which there are many thousands, not the top tier Emmy's.
Not to say we weren't all hornswaggled by this alleged Peter Jackson thing, but get all your facts straight.
Doesn't matter if he's
Doesn't matter if he's referring to regional Emmy or not. He has won ZERO. That is according to the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' search engine for "past winners." The guy flat out LIED to you about Peter Jackson. You really think he has an Emmy? How come one site claims he has "two," and another site claims "three?" His 10 AP awards? The AP doesn't have a searchable site. I did Google "AP Award," and Dan Gadberry. I got nothing.
As for "alleged," how hard is it for you to confirm directly?
+64 4 388 9450
Ri Streeter.
As for EMMY and Dan Gadberry, if Dan had won an Emmy while working with the NBC station in Indianapolis there would be reports about it on THEIR webpage at the very least. There would be SOMETHING referring to it on the internet besides sites that Dan has boasted the claims on.
The evidence is pointing to his claims all being fictitious.
You don't think Blog Talk Radio is going to seriously look into the claims of your shows from now on? You made them look bad. Real bad.
stooped
Okay, since you're mr. Google, explain this to me...Scott Spears, my friend and co-worker has an Emmy on his desk. I did a Google search and all I can find on the web are his own claims of winning one. There isn't anything on the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' search engine for "past winners."
So are saying I imagine holding this Emmy? Are you saying it's a fake, because it is real and we work camera op for the regional Emmy's and similarly, I can't find a single one of those on the official site.
WETA is just an effects company, and not Peter Jackson's sole source for what he is and is not doing. If you contacted his AGENT, I would be more inclined to believe you did due dilligence on verifying that it was a total fabrication. His agent or manager would have Peter Jackson's promotional and time schedule down a little more accurate than the visual FX company he owns....
Now, do I believe that Dan Gadberry is full of shit? In the case of Peter Jackson, hell yes. In terms of his Emmys? HELL NO.
Are you an anonymous moron who has no credibility because you're a worthless coward? HELL YES. Now piss off.
CAPTAIN BOO
I agree with everything you just said. But let me reveal this. We tried to get Dan on the phone all week to confirm. Nothing. If there was a cacellation, wouldn't the respectable/responsible thing to do is call and say "IT'S A NO GO! sorry!" We didn't even get that.
And maybe a car accident or tornado slam would have been a great excuse. But Dan called Big Sugar after the show was over. What the fuck is that?
Called after the show was over.
A week went by. He calls after the show was over.
AFTER IT WAS OVER.
So this tells us that he could have called before. Left a message at 2 a.m. if he had to.
CALLED AFTER IT WAS OVER.
As far as the Emmy thing goes, I don't know how that works. I've never been nominated or have won one. I won't question that. I can't.
But I agree with Captain Boo Ross the Boss. If you IMDB me, it doesn't list all the projects I've worked on. And I'm talking I've written for major studios. But they aren't there. Googling only goes so far.
but there is indeed no forgiveness for this act of irresponsibility--maybe you can forgive for not getting the right sprinkles on your ice cream, but we're talking about Peter Jackson on our show that everyone knew about and all we were left with was the cone and no ice cream.
EZEQUIEL
So I'm dying to know
What was his excuse?
Ya Mon
I'm with Capn Parker. The dude called Big Sugar?
Are you gonna let us know what he said?
"Baffling the critics since 1971."
Mad World
Missed his call, brother. I was involved in a heated debate with Frank and ryan about horror films and the general state of things. So I didn't speak to him. Not that it would make much difference now.
If it's just ridiculous, it's bad.
IF IT IS RRIIIDDDIICCUUULLOOUUSS, then it's okay.
agreed
I am in no way defending the Peter Jackson bullshiite. I was skeptical to say the least, from the get go, which is why I asked if this was real last week. I find it hard to believe that a fellow KarmaPirate would screw over his mates to hard, over one of the most outrageous claims imaginable too.
He lied about it all, of that I am fairly certain, but NOT his Emmy's. That's my sole point, along with a general distaste and dislike of anonymous posters. Put your name with your posts you cowardly nothing pieces of shit. You want to bash someone, at least put your goddamn name with it.
Again, if I want to know where George Lucas is, I don't call Industrial Light + Magic (ILM), I call his publicist or manager, you know someone who might actually know where he is, not one of the many companies he owns.
I don't know Dan that well, but without a doubt, he screwed over this site and he knew it. My hypothesis is that as soon as you got excited, let BLOGTALKRADIO know, he got scared that his exageration was now snowballing into something he couldn't easily talk his way out of.
Ego and lies = a loser
anonymous posts = biggest losers
Is Sonny Boo your real name?
Ri btw is the PR manager for wingnut and WETA Workshop so that is the person to contact to verify if PJ was going to be on a show. If George Lucas used the same PR Manager for ILM and Lucas Film then you'd have the same scenario. Still If I was wondering about GL and I knew how to contact the PR manager for ILM, I'd do that. Why? Because he/she definitely knows how to get in touch with the PR of Lucas Film.
As to using an anonymous handle, I think most people do. "FableForge," and "Big Sugar," are real names? Right.
As for it being BS from the start... not so fast. PJ is known for doing such things, and if you'd contact Ri you may have had a chance of getting him to do an interview. The guys here could still have that chance. Contact Ri, inform them of the scam, and try and get an interview. PJ hates scammers as much as you hate anonymous people. The guys here may just get their interview to spite the scammer.
Don't shoot the messenger
That's an excellent idea. We could at least redeem ourselves. Marco or EZ can you get in touch with these people?
At the very least
At the very least I will write to them to apologize. I'll explain what happened as best I can, I wouldn't dare to ask for an interview after this mess, but at the very least I want to apologize to them. I'll write.
The damage is already done
It wouldn't hurt to try. C'mon where's that Pirate spirit. We didn't do anything wrong we were bamboozled. I'll call if you don't want to.
You're three kinds of Amazing, Captain Lady Parker!
Now I just have to decide..... should I send an email, or should I call, or you should call? Its a tough choice, only because letting you take care of it its sooooo appealing right now, after the kind of week I had. Ack!
Okay, I will call. There's nothing to lose, after all. I'll call the agent's phone number and see what happens!! hee!!! I'll let you know how it goes!
That's the Spirit!
What I'd suggest
Make a media packet to send with your email. Provide details of your involvement with "On The Lot," and most definitely provide a copy of the Harry Knowles article.
Two things in your favor there: A. PJ likes Spielberg. B. PJ loves Harry.
Ask for a real interview and provide the subject matter you'd wish to discuss.
Apologize for the mistake of having not verified the information provided by Mr. Gadberry. That should be the lead of your email. Then ask for a real interview and provide a decent media packet. Perhaps edit together a "best of," compilation of your Radio Show as well to send along.
KarmaCritic exists for a reason, and he may very well be sympathetic to that reason and provide you a great interview about "the old days," and roughing it to make a picture. Obviously the new stuff is irrelevant to your site. However how he made his first few films and did the independent route is very much something that your site could relate to and learn from.
Again I think properly seeking an interview can get you somewhere. No reason it shouldn't.
Voice of Reason
Whoever you are, you make a lot of sense.
I'm never afraid to admit when I've been taught a lesson, so there's no shame in telling you I'll be taking your advice line by line. I'll make a media packet, include some of the hits we've had in this site, and just tell it like it is, we were taken for a ride by Gadberry, but underlying it all is our deep admiration for the guy who shot BAD TASTE on the weekends with his friends and went on to have an Oscar Scoreboard in his wikipedia page.
You sir, whoever you are, have good common sense, knowledge of the industry and patience. I invite you to join this site whenever, you're most welcome.
duh
Is Sonny Boo your real name?
Gee, no but my real name is closely associated with MY COMPANY NAME, you moron. Put your real fucking name with your posts. You're just some coward hiding behind a thin veil because you are NOTHING and worthless and you were able to look up a phone number online.
I fucking hate anonymous posters, no matter if they help or not.
Fire the Cannons
anonymous will walk the plank
coward scarvydog
stop disturbing our own Pirate Captain
is time for war at Karma
ANONYMOUS
Hello Anonymous. Need I introduce myself? Probably....not. But in any case, thanks for stopping by here on our website.
Please stop arguing with one of our fellow captains, cause once that happens, all the captains of this site will fire their cannons. And you don't want that. It would embarass you in a public forum. So let's try and keep this clean cause, we can get really really nasty if the call is made to do so. Captain Boo Ross the Boss is a very well respected filmmaker here. So be cool. You should check out his film "Horrors of War".
Yeah. You know what. Marco and I should have taken the initiative to make calls ourselves and validate and confirm this interview with Peter Jackson. We didn't.
We made a mistake. We trusted someone that we now know we shouldn't have.
We learn from our mistakes, right? Without making mistakes, we'll never learn how to get it right. And now we know that if it doesn't come from our captain commander in chief here, then it isn't real.
Anonymous, why don't you become a member here? You might dig it. A lot of interesting things and talented indie filmmakers here. Minus the few that blow asshole, for the most part, everyone here is doing something....and there are some that soon could be the next Peter Jackson. Who knows?
EZEQUIEL
ANONYMOUS
my blade is out
you have just three seconds for your last words
split the name scarvy dog
Ross
and you will die with honor
I'm guessing you went to the wrong site.
There is a Regional NATAS (anyone notice national academy of television Arts & Sciences is Satan backwards) site. You can search for past winners. I'm just going to guess that you went to the wrong site or didn't even go to the past winners section. I tested it by asking about an Emmy I know was won by a friend. It found him just fine.
Google "Scott Spears," and Emmy. You'll find pages and pages of references. "Dan Gadberry," and Emmy doesn't even pull up a 2nd page. That right there should be enough for you. Compare the two. One you KNOW won. The other claims to have won. Notice how there is a massive difference in google results?
I pulled up with google AP awards won by people I know whom have won awards. Newspaper articles in their cities are generally what was pulled up. There is no such article about Dan Gadberry in the Indianapolis newspaper.
Knowing this I also contacted WTHR about Dan Gadberry. They do not support his claims.
Knowing that I contacted NATAS and so far "we can't find anything under that name, maybe he uses a different name for his work?"
As for your lack of knowledge about PJ, if you want to confirm his PRESS you contact the PR manager for his company. His production company (film company wingnut) is handled by the same person as his WETA Workshop. So yes, you could have verified that Dan was lying by just making a phone call.
Verifying the claims of people is an EASY thing to do. Dan Gadberry comes off as a total liar under the circumstances.
Unfortunately for the people of this site, Blog Talk Radio is likely to hold the producers responsible for verifying claims for their own show. When they've verified that Dan Gadberry has not won any awards and PJ was never going to be on the show (and they're in the process) who is going to pay for it? The producers of the Show. So this Dan Gadberry just caused all kinds of grief for people with his bs claims.
you still suck
Google "Scott Spears," and Emmy. You'll find pages and pages of references.
All by Scott or about Scott.
You earn no respect from me being some anonymous guy trying to bash out someone else from behind a curtain.
Put your fucking name on your posts loser.
C'mon now Sonny
The guy's just trying to help. What difference does it make what his name is? He may have a very good reason for hiding his identity.
yeah
Maybe it's Peter Jackson causing the ripples.
"Baffling the critics since 1971."
You read my mind.
Wouldn't that be funny!
only
H'es one of 5 people I might apologize for my tirade over....
for being
your last words
that is longer than I expected
all the information you gave to us
seams like useful
humm
I am not going to kill you
STILL
i take it PJ was not on the
i take it PJ was not on the show... HHHHmmmmmm a super A list director not on this little show, does not surprise me. I hope if was to be on the show that he comes on, would be a huge cue
Stop
Drinking Brad!
Peter Jackson A list actor?????
answer to me, who direct The Lord of the Rings???
Brad, come back tomorrow to teach you how to say "A"
hahahahaha
BRAD IS A WACK
Brad had Juan Riendinger, the star of my film go shoot some scenes for the music video, something that was very hard for Juan to put together in Canada---and Brad didn't do shoot.
EZEQUIEL
did anyone think of calling
did anyone think of calling PJ's people to confirm once Dan went MIA? This all could have been avoided with one call.
Error
we never have to announce
PJ is coming to the radio show
until that is absolutely sure..
CAPTAIN DRACULA
Like I've said, we trusted Dan. He announced it last week on the radio. We thought it was legitamate. We were wrong.
What can we do?
We are still the pirates of karma. And we shall remain united and strong.
HOIST YER FLAGS AND SHOW YER COLORS ME'HEARTIES!
No need to be drownin' in someone else's shallow shores!
Rum Bless you all!
EZEQUIEL
people who bullshit
Dan Gadberry did not necessarily "lie or BS" the people at Karma. Possible he made a simple mistake.
As opposed to last year, when Ezequiel posted a bullshit trailer on Karma; bragging that "Quentin Tarantino, Steve Buscemi, Tony Todd and Clint Howard are all starring in Stormy Night" -- even though Ezequiel knew GOD DAMN WELL Buscemi was in Japan and COULD NOT do the film, that Howard and Tarantino HAD NOT RESPONDED to the offer, and Bixby NEVER OFFERED the role to Todd. Oh, and all four of the above-mentioned names were offered THE SAME ROLE -- so just how the fucking Goddamn Hell could they "all be starring" in Z's crappy little movie?
Ezequiel Martinez, Jr. whining about someone else's bullshit? Talk about the pot calling the ghetto Black...
A simple mistake
Right. I make the simple mistake of making claims that I have awards I don't have all the time. Did I mention I have an Oscar? I also won the Heisman Trophy too. For reals. I got the Oscar while working freelance for a small NBC affiliate in El Paso, Texas. They gave it to me for best student film cinematography. For reals. For kicks I sometimes tell people I got a famous director to come on their show.
How can someone make a simple mistake? He never contacted PJ. He makes claims he has won awards while working for people who refute his claims.
I know nothing of this trailer you speak of. I do know that this Gadberry fellow is a total liar who got caught in his lies.
