He's in the business to make money. The fans have the money. Make them happy, get paid, and be done with it. He doesn't need a retard who made Little Nicky, possibly the worst film ever, advising him. Weinstein needs to get a clue. He’s in the business to make money. The fans have the money.

I don't think that is the case, just a random thought in the back of my mind. But if it weren't for the protest of the fanboys I would not hear about this film about every other week. Could the Weinsteins be that devious?

They need to butt out of the creative aspects of movies, and let the directors/writers/producers/actors do what they do. The studios should just trust them, and trust us to trust them.

BOT: I'm surprise Kevin Smith hasn't stepped up to the plate on this one. I mean, If the fucksteins were serious about fixing this film...why didn't they go to their resident fanboy Kevin Smith. Someone..( Hunter or PETER!) should email Smith and ask WTF he didn't help this flick out. He's usually pretty open and honest about shit like this.... @ orange cinema

Basically, they removed the heartfelt reason for the journey and have reduced the kids to a bunch of crazy fanboys.

Are the Weinsteins trying to cut the whole "sick friend" aspect or change what he is sick with? Either way is BS, but I wanted a little clarification.
