Good points Michael and Hydra. And Hydra, I hope your piece of the rock is a big one! You would think a company in the entertainment business would have a greater handle on people's emotions and be able to put a positive spin on a cat fight, if necessary. But NSKY is relatively new and thus far has had only one movie released. I'll discuss the thread's concerns with Reynolds, hopefully tomorrow. Hope to get the same results you did, Hydra, with the geologists. There are so many positive things about NSKY that could and should be addressed in PRs. I don't know what the constraints are on a CEO discussing possible revenue in deals. Maybe he can't speculate at all, but I would sure like to read about the positive side of Freak's attendance at Sundance and projected numbers that could be derived from a good distribution deal--theatrical, video, foreign, cable, etc. NSKY has been talking with Winchester for a couple of months now about Face Facts, as covered by Daily Variety in an interview with Winchester. Maybe I don't understand the terminology used in the PR, but I have to believe that the financing deal is closer than an "option agreement to obtain financing for and worldwide distribution of...Face Facts". IMO, a deal has to be imminent or Reynolds wouldn't even discuss it. He certainly is not a PR mill. And, after the announcement on completed financing, which will come, it would be terrific to start reading PRs about Face Facts' budget, the pre-production money derived by NSKY, the cast and crew that has signed on and projected revenues from distribution. Also, based on the information we received from Patrick White yesterday, test posters are being prepared for The Hell Candidate for a big Hollywood presentation. What did White say, a $50 million budget? Now that would be something to talk about!! Anyway, the projects are there and the revenue will be there. I know Reynolds is aware that we are here and he is making every effort to cooperate. But he just has to put out PRs with more meat, as someone said earlier. We aren't Fox or MGM/UA with a huge publicity budget, but the potential for real success is sure there and it could be a great ride. Donster
