Bitcoin Forum

Greetings,

One of my favorite movies of all time is called Battlefield Earth.  It is a classic, critically acclaimed (http://www.joblo.com/reviews-2010.php?mode=joblo_movies&id=597) science fiction movie starring John Travolta which was based on a New York Times best-selling novel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Earth_%28novel%29) of the same name.   The movie features prescient themes about the dangers of mind control and the ability of much maligned underground churches to resit the influence of those who would oppress them. 

Unfortunately, this cinema classic has yet to receive a Blu Ray release for reasons that are not entirely clear to me.  I have worn out my VHS and DVD copies of the film. What I am looking for is a loan in the amount of 48,000 BTC to spearhead a Blu Ray restoration and release of this excellent film.  I seek no profit from this enterprise, any profits and royalties from the success of this venture will be returned to the investors who have made it possible.  My only interest is to see a film classic presented to a larger audience in the best possible format.

Please contact me to discuss your investment in this venture, SERIOUS OFFERS ONLY: raritybestpony@gmail.com

If I win the bet, I will make a substantial contribution to your cause.

Hah!  I've been thinking of offering to cover part of your bet just because I know I would never have to pay out since you are so obviously on the right side of things.  I'll hold you to this!

Hahhahahahahahahahahahaa awesome!


I bet I know why you like that movie!

;D

Perhaps this has something to do with it:

from the link you posted:

I sense another classic thread in the making. I beg you all to proceed.

Also from Rarity's link, there's this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Earth_%28film%29#Fraud_by_Franchise_Pictures):


The film cost ~$95M, earned  ~$30M, and Franchise Pictures pays out ~$122M in lawsuit judgements...let's release it on blu-ray!   ::)


48K BTC is quite a sum...care to post a business plan/pro-formas?  It might help you attract investors.

Didn't this movie practically ruin John Travolta's career? It was a stinker. How can you even consider criticizing dank bank with ideas like this?  :D

Now I HAVE to watch it.

Rarity, thank you for your contribution to this forum and community.

The book was better...


... but not by much.

It's Mitt Romney's favorite book.

Ole Mitt has one foot on Kolob, and Xenu has hold of the other!

If you get this through, could you then please use some of the lessons learned to go ahead and put onto Blu Ray: Gigli?

If you rub it on your private parts too long and too often, there will be read errors after a time, especially if you do not remove the sticky stuff.

Rarity, thank you for another superbly entertaining thread.

Any interested parties can contact me by e-mail and I will put you in touch with my lawyer for more details.  I have the appropriate collateral to back the loan and if this doesn't work out I will go a more traditional route.  I just though it would be cool to fund a unique project like this via the Bitcoin Community as part of proving what amazing potential we have here.

I have a background in public relations and advertising so I am familiar in general with how complex a project it will be to promote this film given that a minority of critics have unfairly given it negative reviews.

The actual process of conversion to Blu Ray I am not familiar with but through my spiritual group I have many contacts in the film industry who I am sure would be happy to work with me on this matter.  

Thank you for your interest.

Do you mean that massive weed farm somewhere in the woods in Colorado?

Where can we learn more about your spiritual group?


;D

Your interest is noted and I may perhaps start a thread on spiritual matters at some point in the future however I would like to focus on business matters at this time.

God damn it I had to un-ignore you for this thread.

I thought your "spiritual group" was all about business - otherwise the courses would be free  ;)

Also, this was classic:

10/10 troll.

Why do you need to refer individuals to your lawyer for details?  Why not just post them here?  Have you done any planning for this project at all?  If you haven't developed a business plan with accompanying financials, how did you arrive at the 48K BTC capital requirement?

Anyone with serious interest can contact me for further details.  I prefer, and I have found most clients prefer, to hammer out the details of deals such as this in private.  If you have no such interest, I thank you for your attention and we don't have anything more to discuss.

I have serious interest, and I have contacted you for further details in this thread.  Feel free to send me a pm with the particulars if you're uncomfortable posting them here.  Thanks in advance!

If you are seriously considering this proposal, you might have noticed the e-mail address in the OP. :P  Thank you for your interest.

Myself and my clients in other dealings have found that a greater deal of security can be found by handling these issues offsite.  If you want customer service, go to Costco, I'm only looking for serious investors who are willing to put forth the same effort I am.  

You have to go through an "audit" first  :D

This is worse than Dank asking for 1mil for a nice house :D

???

I don't understand.  How would sending a PM with, say, a high-level budget showing how you plan on spending the 48K BTC pose a security risk?  For that matter, how would posting a high-level budget in this thread pose a security risk?

BTW, Costco isn't really known for their customer service.   :P

You are clearly not right for this project, please do not e-mail me.

I don't think 50k people have even watched this movie, let alone 50k that would like it enough to purchase it on blue ray. This deal doesn't sound right. Where is team Ponzi when you need them?  :D

You know when you get a blister, that watery stuff that comes out.... Well.... Rarity reminds me of the watery stuff.

Because you are idiotically shouting questions when you have been instructed to ask them in e-mail.  I have already discussed everything you have asked about privately with individuals with enough reading comprehension to understand how to proceed.

You have missed your chance on this one, you blew it, better luck next time.  You should take some business classes so you can stop grandstanding instead of striking while the iron is hot.  You talked yourself right out of a chance at this deal.

I don't recall shouting anything, so no need to get so upset.


Cool story, except none of the information I've asked you to produce requires any level of secrecy at all.  Yet for some reason you refuse to provide the community at large with any details on how you plan to use their BTC, preferring instead to disseminate "information" about the project separately with individuals in the dark.  Why is that?  If all further info (other than that in your first post) was to be doled out by you via e-mail, why didn't you simply make your post and lock the thread?

Tell you what: if any of the individuals you claim to have dealt with privately is a long-time respected member of this forum, have them post in this thread vouching for your credibility.  Do that, and I might consider ceasing "idiotically shouting questions".  Otherwise I'll continue to post in this thread as I please.


You sound like my wife.


Not sure how taking business classes would stop anyone's grandstanding.  Perhaps you meant classes of a more spiritual nature?

In any case, I look forward to seeing Battlefield Earth on blu-ray at my local retailer.  Hopefully you can get it out there before the format dies.

That is for myself and my clients to judge.

Like the Church of Scientology can't afford to fund this project itself.   ::)

That was just an option.  I said you could have whatever you want.  And I have a real plan, not like this fool.

Please do not attempt to discuss matters you do not understand.  The royalties in question would be for things such as broadcast rights and merchandise for the restored film which will be my intellectual property.  This is precisely why it is a waste of time to discuss the details of this matter on the forum, it is pointless to discuss it with individuals who have no understanding of the entertainment industry and will simply be wasting my time.  

I am in talks with a serious individual in e-mail, so for now the purpose of this thread has been fulfilled.
