IMDB poster Meg, Great comments on Chapter 27..Thanks

I want to take a moment to thank Meg n Cognto for stepping back from the outrage to make some very intelligent comments on Chapter 27.

OK, let's just clear this all up in a respectful and mature manner, while still utilizing proper grammer and correct spelling. "He Who Must Not Be Named" murdered John Lennon (a man who affected MUCH positive social change in the world...not just a lyrical and musical genius) for the SOLE PURPOSE of becoming famous as John Lennon's murderer. We know that we already knew who he was before talks of this movie ever began, BUT, unless you have a learning deficiency, you must admit that, if you make a movie about someone who aims to be famous...uh...you're giving said person EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. That is the reason for any and all boycotts. Following Lennon's murder, Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono asked Lennon fans to simply NEVER speak this man's name again so as to avoid any possibility that he may ever get the fame he so craved that he murdered an innocent, non-violent human being. End of discussion. Thank you. Next time, let's try to educate ourselves about the totality of any given situation before we start spouting off at the mouth about things which we are ignorant.

ig·no·rant–adjective
1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man.
2. lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics.
3. uninformed; unaware.
4. due to or showing lack of knowledge or training: an ignorant statement.

-----------
This isn't about censorship. The movie exists. It hasn't been edited to suit our fragile state...it's simply a matter of the majority having spoken and that colllective voice said "We don't support giving this man any additional notoriety. We won't pay to watch his story". Buyers, in turn, chose not to pick up this film and, thus, it is not to be released in the U.S. HOWEVER, if you REALLY want to see it, it is available elsewhere, including the internet. So, censorship? No. Disgust with the moral underpinnings of a movie SPECIFICALLY about the MURDERER? Yes. If so many people were so extremely in favor of giving this film life in America, why didn't they speak up as the opposition did? Do you honestly think it would have been in Lennon's character to reward senseless violence by awarding the perpetrator of said violence the EXACT THING for which they comitted their violent act? I really don't. It's sad to me that you are, apparently, based on your reply, in favor of glamorizing this man's violence. This all comes down to a personal interpretation, though. Therefore, it's a battle which no one can "win". All that can be is done is to present the facts AS WE KNOW THEM. This is something that Heiress did not do, as she seemingly didn't know the slightest about this. I felt compelled to clear up that bit of ignorant thinking for her and hopefully spur her to rethink what she believes. Exactly as I felt compelled to correct a supervisor who claimed that marijuana and dog urine have the same chemical makeup. That's just what I do. All apologies if I have offended anyone who reads this or my previous post. But, I would have to ask, then, why? Why so angry? Let's try not to be so nasty to one another.

The greatest Chapter 27 review yet..PAE.. feel that

This is the critique from the Utah Chronicle, probably the finest review er have found to date. Sent to us by our friends at nordbergstudios.com. That for keeping us posted on this one.

I want the shareholders of Peace Arch Entertainment, Jared Leto, and FireCrotch to really enjoy this one. Not to mention Jarrett Schaefer.

The Ugly (what better way to address Chapter 27)

For Jarrett Schaefer's "Chapter 27," Jared Leto put on 70 pounds to play Mark David Chapman, the man who shot and killed John Lennon in 1980. It's a full-bodied performance in every sense of the phrase; Leto wheezes and sinks into his doughy double-chin like a sunglasses-clad Stay-Puff Marshmallow-Man speaking whacked-out inner monologues in a breathy, one-note squeak that grates on the nerves. It's sad that Leto's commitment was wasted on a character that is so damned annoying.

Instead of approaching Chapman from a psychoanalytical perspective, Schaefer simply watches him during the week leading up to Lennon's murder. I understand that Schaefer is trying to make the point that we can't ever really understand why a person does something as insane as murdering another person in cold blood, but why pick someone as dull as Chapman to make this point? It's an approach that turns "Chapter 27" into a long slog through redundant schizophrenia and not much else.

HOW MUCH DID YOU ENJOY THAT....OH BABY....FEEL THAT

Here's the link for the entire article, its worth reading

Chapter 27 has about as much chance for distribution as Artie Lange has of living past 40.
