LC: What Was Promised vs. What We Got

Certainly a Charlie Sheen narration would have Twoof-Pwoofed this baby for me, I'd have then become a selfless champion of its abso-bloomin-lutely cold, hard ludicrousness - I mean logical-ishness. Chuck's got credit-billity.

But we didn't even get Denise Richards. :(
 
We were promised something new. Instead it was the same ol' crap.

It's obvious to me that Dylan just gave up and threw this together one afternoon. He didn't even try.

Say, has there been any reaction from Dylan since the big release?
 
So basically so far we have:

What we were promised:
Charlie Sheen Narration
Studio backed release
Initially release into 3,000 theaters
100% factually accurate movie
$20m budget
Advertised release
9/11/2006 release
Would make Gravy cry/Would convert and scare debunkers
Would start a revolution
Would amaze those already converted
Would contain witness testimony from Rodriguez, Jennings etc.
Would be fact checked by DRG

What we got:
Dylan Avery's amateur narration
Independent release
No theater release at this stage
DVD/Stream/Google Video release
A movie with several holes already formally poked in it via direct debunking (SLC blog etc)
A repeat of old, debunked theories
No where near $20m spent
Limited advertising exclusive to the conspiracy circles
11/11/2007 release
Debunkers bored with it and unphased
Most conspiracists are underwhelmed
Underwhelming public response
No revolution
No mainstream media coverage
No Barry Jennings, April Gallop, William Rodriguez
No DRG fact-checking

I wonder if the "movement" will still trust Avery.

I don't think it matters - I reckon he's about to jump ship to pursue his directing career.

I hope he gives some thought to directing comedies...he's just sooooo funny! :p

(though I realize he doesn't mean to be most of the time)

I think it just boils down to:
We were promised Filet Minion.
We got baloney.
 
Wasn't DRG credited as "script supervisor" or "script consultant"? I remember seeing his name in the credits.

Final Insult really was an incredibly dreary experience. It seems to show, however, that the rationalists have had a marked effect: The conspiracy theorists can no longer make the wild and outrageous claims they once did; they know that they’ll be either shown straightforwardly wrong or exposed as deceitful. The best Mr. Avery and co. can do is to produce a lot of very distilled innuendo and attempt to wrap it up in transparently insincere yet genuine political issues such as the way first responders have been treated, and so forth.
