Post here to pledge support for an ad in Variety...
 

I ask that only serious supporters post here, although we will probably get a few telling me how stupid an idea it is.
Well, let them talk. Those that support the real BATTLESTAR GALACTICA will feel that this is a worthwhile endeavour. I will look into the cost of the ad, and I will post that info when I have it. Also, when we have evaluated the responses at the end of the week, we will see about how to go about raising the money for the ad.

Dan:tos: :cylon:

You have my support Dan. You had it before and you'll have it again.

Don

Count me in

Well i've been out of work for quite a while, depending on how much it costs, i'll contribute what ever I can within reason.

Later

Rich.

While it's worth a shot, I'm in. As so long as the requested amount per person is within reason & within my financial ability.

A good idea, Dan. Let's do it.

Yes , I feel the same way. As long as we have enough people to come forward and make it feazible, then I'm in. Being in Canada, I would have to mortgage my home just to make up 20 American bucks. If I had a home. lol

Lousy dollar of ours. he he he

owd

Count me in!

I'm in. Here are the rates:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
S:D

I'm in. I wish I could contribute more but I'll come up with $50.

I will contribute within reason. It's worth it too support the true BSG.

Just popping in. I can muster $100 in the new year, just tell me where to send the frelling cash, so I can do everything to get rid of this abomination from the screen!

Peter

Just incase some one wants to contribute to this but wants to remain anonymous.
There should be a designated person for them to get a hold of, then they will be counted as a number because the higher the number, the closer to the goal we get.

I can't do it because of all that I have on My plate now but the person in charge of this should be the contact for such people.

owd

Count me in, though I cannot go major bucks either. (explaining this to my husband is going to be sooooo much fun. But then how many times do you get to help send a message to Hollywood that they can't ignore? :D)

I'd be happy to contribute.... But then I would probably want a say in the wording.....
So somehow I don't think you want me involved :)

havoc did you actually read what Dan has stated in his post?

"I ask that only serious supporters post here" and "Those that support the real BATTLESTAR GALACTICA will feel that this is a worthwhile endeavour"

If you want to make a mockery of this then please do so on another thread.

To Dan I will have to check my financial situation after the New Years but I will donate what I can. Thanks for looking into this.

Dan

Just tell me where to send the check. The more I hear about Ron's:ax: show the more sickened:upchuck: I get to know the show I have loved for 25 years will be trashed.

Jim:colwar::rage:

If there's anything I can do to help, I will.
Ron Moore/SciFi Channel are completely mad.

Dan,

I can pitch in a little.

Tony

I was not making a mockery of anything, I was quite serious. I do support the "real Battlestar Galactica".... but I admit my opinion about what constitutes the "real Battlestar Galactica" is a bit different than what is being intended in this thread. Furthermore, I am quite seriously willing to contribute, if the advertisement were to take in to account all the views of people who "support the real Battlestar Galactica," myself included.

That means, to me, an advertisement embracing what we loved about the original BSG, and not simply a public bashing of RDM.

Hi Dan
count me in :thumbsup:
I'll do on what I can
:warrior: :colwar:

I am in. Just let me know how much.

Count me in too. I don't have a lot but hopefully it will be enough, and you know how I feel :). I will have to keep it a secret from the fam' or I will be sleeping in the dog house for a while :D. (And we don't even have a dog -- <shiver>!!! :D

:muffit:

The ad that I would like to see would speak out-generally-against what Ron Moore has come up with. It would in no way be a public bashing of Mr. Moore personally. The ad will push for a continuation of the original series. It will-in all likelyhood-refer to the idea of mixing original castmembers (namely, Hatch, Benedict, Jefferson, Lockhart) with new, younger ones. I would like to voice support for Tom DeSanto as well, but that would not happen without his expressed permission.

Dan

Mr. Haven's negative review, in combination with Michael's, has given us the ammunition we need if we choose to advertise the fact to the movie making community. I agree with what you said, Dan, but an ad without something of this nature would basically be seen by those in power as a group of fans whining that they weren't getting their way. Now, we have a recognized critic AND one of the chief proponents of Battlestar Galactica both critizing it, so such an add takes on meaning. Being selective in the quotes (Mr. Haven's "not worthy" statement is one), combined with our request for a continuation, and a few illustrations, possibly from our excellent artists here on this board showing what could be done, could carry some weight.

If they do go ahead with this POS, the only reason to watch is too list the sponsors to make it easier to boycot their products

Stevew

You are so right.

owd

I guess the devil made me say that hehehe:devil:
Sharpen your pencils

Well I don't want to say that the Devil makes me do things but if truth be known, I am sending him Royalty checks for a reason. :)
