Another Negative Review & The Far Reaching Chapter 27 Curse Reaching Epic Proportions.
As a lot of you already know,the film Chapter 27 will never see a US theatre.But there is still the reality of it coming to DVD.As of now,NO DVD release is set in stone as of yet.Peace Arch has not even disclosed any dates as of yet nor do I think that they will.Not only that,since this film has not seen a US theatre,odds of it becoming an exclusive at Blockbuster are slim and none.Mainly because most of the DVD releases that were exclusives at Blockbuster were distibuted by Genius Entertainment,which is a Weinstein owned company,and were actually theatrical releases.Since Chapter 27 did not see a US theatre,it does not stand a chance at becoming an exclusive.I know this because I bought on DVD,a previously rented horror film called Feast.It was disributed by Dimension Films and was not seen in theatres but rather,it was made for cable and it was distributed on DVD by Genius Products(both are one and the same) but it wasn't an exclusive.Again,since Chapter 27 did not see a theatrical release in the USA,the odds of it becoming an exclusive at Blockbuster are slim and none.Usually,a film has to see release in a US theatre before it can become a Blockbuster Exclusive.
Genius Entertainment have distributed DVD's of Peace Arch products in the past.The last three films that they distributed on DVD from the Archetype Pictures Division,which specializes in horror movies,of Peace Arch Entertainment were Living Death,5ive Girls and The Last Sect.This is so because I have checked out their site for Genius Products and the latter two films were on the site.But I have seen the film Living Death for rental at many stores such as Family Video.But since The Weinstein Company was one of those US distributors who did turn down Chapter 27 for theatrical distribution,I don't think that they would change their mind for DVD releases.The Weinstein Company reps who did get to see the film were not impressed by this worthless excuse of a movie and like a lot of US distributors,they passed on theatrical distribution.Good thing.I have always had a lot of respect for this talented family of film producers who actually hailed from Buffalo NY,which is in my backyard(so to speak)because I live in Niagara Falls NY.
Okay,now back to the matter at hand.
I recently stumbled upon another negative review from a site called The Oscar Igloo.Apparently,some of the IMDB users have stated that Jared Leto's performance of Lennon's murderer was worthy of an Oscar nomination and worthy of winning that coveted Academy Award known as THE Oscar,which were named after Oscar Pierce who lived in Texas.
But this review,written by Johnny Alba,disagrees with those sentiments.Below is the link to that review so you can check it out for yourself:

I also want to report that the curse known as the "Chapter 27 Curse" has reached epic proportions.First there was the story of Jared Leto contracting gout in his left foot from all the excessive weight gain and rapid weight loss.Second there were the stories of Lindsay Lohan in and out of rehab for all the drugs and alcohol that she was consuming alongside all the much publicized police arrests.But those are nothing by comparison to what has been going on with the man who was responsible for the making of the film that we are trying to boycott and why we are sharing our thoughts on this site about it.That man,as previously stated,is Jarrett P.Schaefer.Recent reports on the web and even in the media have stated that since Chapter 27 BOMBED at the Sundance Film Festival in January of this year,Mr.Schaefer has been in seclusion and has been showing extreme bitterness and being very possessed by his agonizing defeat.Mr.Schaefer has been feeling extremely depressed because his "worthless excuse of a movie" wasn't picked up by any of the top film distributors in the USA and he is really feeling the really "painful bite" that a lot of filmakers feel when they make a film that was ignored by Hollywood,especially when it's their first time in both areas,which are writing and directing.But do you know what is worse than that?I'll tell you.Mr.Schaefer has actually refused to take a possessory credit for Chapter 27.As Dean Martin once sang and even Fred Flinstone once said "Ain't That A Kick In The Head?" This should give those who were the "faithful" who defended this film and expressed how great the film was a clue as to the what and why and how as to the whole situation regarding that film and the waste of time,talent,money and even celluloid involved in making a movie that should not have been bankrolled nor even made in the first place and that their hopes in seeing the film released in US theatres are never going to be fulfilled and that they are false.Peace Arch tried to assure these hopefuls that it would see release in a US theatre and that they were still shopping it around.Well,it has been nearly 10 months since that much hyped and later much maligned premiere at Sundance and AFM,and we have seen that this film will NEVER see a US theatre and that is the best thing to happen regarding the boycott.With Mr.Schaefer wallowing in his own self pity and depression,this should show those "faithfuls" that their cause was a lost one and that they all wasted their time in defeneding Chapter 27 and the intentions behind it.All I can say is "Oh Well!"
At the moment,I can hear John's song Instant Karma in my head right now.The first line is "Instant Karma's Gonna Get You" and it applies here.With what has happened to Leto,Lohan and especially Mr.J.P.Schaefer,John Lennon was right on the money when he wrote and recorded that great infectious rocker that still holds up to this day over 27 years after it's release.Instant Karma really got Leto,Lohan and Schaefer and it will continue to get them for a long time after all this passes if it ever does really pass.
Chapter 27 will never see a US theatre but the battle is far from over.There is still the reality of it's inevitable DVD release.We'll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it if we do indeed have to cross it.

leave the film alone , and concentrate on more important things like war, homelessness etc etc , its a good film and it never once claims that what mark david chapman did was right.
Hey Chapter27Fan
WE here at Boycott Chapter 27 are NEVER going to leave the film alone.Besides,this is an important thing to us and we going to keep it up until we have won.
Your appeal has been rejected by WE here at Boycott Chapter 27.
This film is not a good film.WE know that it stinks because we know people who have seen it and have personally told us so.WE here at Boycott Chapter 27 are taking their words over yours or anyone else who has seen this "CRAP" that Peace Arch calls a movie.
Regarding what you said about what THAT MAN who murdered John Lennon,it might not claim that what HE did was right.But in a way,you're WRONG.This film,as I have sated in another comment on another post in here,give the young people of the world the wrong message.The message that it gives them is that if you murder a much loved and famous celebrity,they'll make a movie about you over two decades or more later on.I ask again:
Is that the message that you want to have spread to the young people of the world?
For your sake,I hope not.But I certainly don't.
That is why WE are here.
i can't wait to see this movie. it is just a movie right? it's not going to bring about the downfall of all mankind right? hey you think maybe it could do some good? idk discuss mental illness or gun control or celebrity worship? r those topics worth discussing right now? i love that book too. so funny and sad. there's a scene from the film on youtube. it kinda rocks. makes me cry. this blog didn't used to be so bitter sounding.
