I thought True Grit was gripping. I am not a spaghetti western graduate, but I was really looking forward to LONER.

True grit showed me there was potential for a mainstream audience such as myself, to become absorbed in a western themed movie if it was well done.Ā  Oh well, on to making money off the misfortune of others.

THR's take on [LONER] Antibody Aug 12, 21:58

This story though is from 10:29pm. About half an hr after DL and an hr and ahalf before the variety story {nm} Dorfman Aug 12, 22:02

Not sure how much weight to give it given the inaccuracy of the report itself {nm} SparkleMotion Aug 12, 22:03

Is this another ride down? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 12, 22:04

you assume the news follows the same chronology in which they are posted here? SparkleMotion Aug 12, 22:07

No, but that doesn't mean others who don't pay attention when they trade are as discerning. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 12, 22:09

It clearly doesn't. THE DL story was 10:07pm the THR story was 10:29pm Variety was after midnight {nm} Dorfman Aug 12, 22:11

whhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee {nm} rustyshackleford Aug 12, 22:04

Clearly this movie is in BIG trouble...if only for the time being! {nm} 1bloke Aug 12, 22:04

Think I might bail on the rollercoaster soon. Gotta go to soccer. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 12, 22:05

Was that directed at me? 90.17. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 12, 22:07

Sorry DMac. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 12, 22:08

Beat ya... Dorfman Aug 12, 22:10

I stepped away for exactly 5 minutes. I caught the flip at 89.48. And I was thinking it was safe to go to bed. Now I'm up until I cover. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 12, 22:36

Ur gonna cover? {nm} Dorfman Aug 12, 23:03

Eventually, but I cannot say when, as that would be a CTA. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 12, 23:11

No. Dorf posted a call to action. {nm} Antibody Aug 12, 22:12

Didn't mean for it to sound like that sorry {nm} Dorfman Aug 12, 22:17

Here we go again. I think DMac is doing this on purpose to generate commission revenues for HSX. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 12, 22:13

ha {nm} Dorfman Aug 12, 22:17

Looks like I picked the wrong night to lay off the Los Pollos Hermanos {nm} PrezBO Aug 12, 22:13

I see only one article saying this isn't true. I see like 20 that say it's getting canned indefinitely. norablindsided Aug 12, 22:19

LAT is sourcing DL. {nm} Antibody Aug 12, 22:20

Yeah, they are. That's most journalism these days. I'll keep an eye on the stock. Once it goes back up. Sell Sell Sell {nm} norablindsided Aug 12, 22:21

That should probably read, "cover cover cover" {nm} PVL Admin Aug 12, 22:23

ahem...sorry "Cover Cover Cover" haha {nm} norablindsided Aug 12, 22:24

Four new articles, all the saying dropped project. Still just copying other articles. Is there no such thing as... norablindsided Aug 12, 22:28

Or original reporting... {nm} PVL Admin Aug 12, 22:30

original reporting? What is this madness? {nm} norablindsided Aug 12, 22:31

"The genre is having some dark days." What a one-data-point mentality. second gary Aug 12, 22:23

I'm sure Disney would gladly make it for TGRIT's budget of $38M. {nm} Antibody Aug 12, 22:28

I thought True Grit was gripping. I am not a spaghetti western graduate, but I was really looking forward to LONER. PVL Admin Aug 12, 22:32

Nothing personal about the "rocket science" lip. :) I saw both TGRIT in December, loved both; but one swallow yada yada yada. But... second gary Aug 12, 22:42

I didn't take it that way. I could see that it was a no pun intended moment. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 12, 23:21

Does anyone know the reliability of Variety? norablindsided Aug 12, 22:45

E! says they contacted Disney but they were not given any comment on it norablindsided Aug 12, 22:51

Variety is one of the largest indusrty trade magazines out there (even prints hard copies still). Very reliable in general. {nm} Apokalips Aug 12, 23:41

Easy there boys, I'm losing 2 million. AgentEvil Aug 13, 11:07
