September 26th 2008

Welcome to the countdown thread for Overground Underground, the movie which has been in production for around 18 months*. finally, we have set a date for release, production is complete and all that is left is the upload.

Also, for those who did not hear on last week's Ken and Roger show - on the 16th, we will be showing a quick sneak preview on TMU, although you will still have to wait just a little longer for the real thing ;)

for those who haven't already seen it, the trailer can be viewed here (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/33bc65bf8d78622277c4/Overground-Underground---Trailer) (or on TMO in lower res here (http://movies.lionhead.com/movie/139924)), and here is the incredible cast (who we apologise to for taking so long):

* Rjb2112
* Howitzer
* Mrs_Guppi
* Meowan
* EthanRunt
* fourthmusketeer_ben
* HoldMyKidney
* Sparky1512

So, after so many unpredicted delays, including: members taking breaks, computers breaking, the sound synch bug, scene reshuffling, the disappearing prop bug, and both myself and Wackyal3000 (the writer, in case you hadn't guessed :p) disappearing off to foreign lands at some stage, it is my pleasure to announce that there are only:

21 days to go
* - this is an estimate only, Wacky will know better than me how long it's been... although the release date is really real... duh

Congrats on getting all the problems worked out, brilliant work Wacky and Fred. Looking forward to seeing the film in 21 days, rocknroll.

It's great news to hear that this project is finally around the corner and the countdown has begun guys! :thumbup1:

[Norrie]

Yes. I, for one, look forward to an amusing picture every day, with the number of days left.

Seriously, just upload the bloody thing. Countdown threads are so 2007 :)

[FredTheDuck]

Countdown threads are so 2007 :)Yes, but I'm still in 2002, so technically ahead of my time :)

Marking the days Fred.

[Norrie]

Oh, fer fecks sake!
Really? Another 10 days of this nonsense?

Someone tell me what the point is. No charts, no medals, no need for this. We've had the "hype" for 15 months.

The last time I saw such ridiculous "PR" was for another of Fred's epics. Anyone remember "The Bar"?

Seriously guys, what is the point? I honestly don't get it.

[wackyal3000]

Hey Norrie, its just a bit of good clean fun, if it bothers you don't look. If you really have to whine go and stand in a corner and screem. Don't bother us with it, ok?

[Norrie]

Hey Norrie, its just a bit of good clean fun,

That must be the part I don't get. The fun!

[wackyal3000]

Look, does it really matter? Why go around stirring up trouble for members who have done nothing wrong really in the past? It almost feels like we are being treated like Nexuses (is that the plural?). Fred and I enjoy doing it, you enjoy some things that I find dull or distasteful probably, it's all a matter of opinion.

[Norrie]

Where's the trouble?
Do what you want to do if you want to do it.
Me thinking it's boring, pointless, asinine and ridiculous is just one arsehole's opinion.

It bores me. Should I remain silent because it makes you two fulfilled in some way? If you are entitled to your opinion, should I not be?

P.S. It's a TMO movie, let's not make it more than such... sheesh!

[wackyal3000]

Ok lets drop it, I'm sorry I ever spoke up for myself.

[FredTheDuck]

Nexuses (is that the plural?)Nexi? :tongue_smilie:

And ok - we'll stop here (the same thread got a much better response at TMO anyway), but even though I know it's bad form, I'd like to refer to a PM I received from you, Norrie not so long ago, entitled "no policing". I won't quote it or anything, but the general gist was that there are no real rules, so basically whatever happens happens. This is more policing than I was (mine was a friendly hint to a good thread more than anything else), so.... yeah, it's not like we're doing anything wrong, other than winding you up (and like wacky said - if you don't like it, don't look at it).

[Howitzer]

Oooh, not long now!
Keep the countdown going guys, I like the screenies :D
(mwahaha, my flickerbook promo of the film is nearly complete ;) )

Can't wait!

Howie.
