SystemFailure Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Why are all of you pissin and moanin about how much the cumulative donations need to reach? Honestly, a lot of you complainin like this shit is being mandated by the gov't and dippin into your piddly 401ks. Come on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I wasn't asking Ch.0 to donate. I was just saying I understand the need to preserve this. A lot of people hold this movie as something monumental. I know you get it, I'm speaking to you as a proxy for MARE/12 Oz Prophet. I'm surprised that the NYC art/culture community isn't behind this project or that Cooper and Chalfant would have any problems getting $500,000 if they ask the right people. Maybe they should look into getting a grant writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchThe$nitch Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 shit, if they can get 500k in donations, more power to them. then they resell and make bank. those are some economics i would take anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gooch Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 they should organize some showings of it at various little indy art houses world wide. maybe they can have some original art work or some limited edition stuff for sale at each event and have all proceeds from those sales help to fund the effort. edit: if i wasn't so broke i would throw them some loot.

JustHereForTheNight Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I read the thread title and for a second it looked like it read "Help Destroy Style Wars" That got my attention Then I realized it was to help save this film. A lot less interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SystemFailure Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Some of you guys are pretty dense and are missing the point because of it. It's not being organized to re release it in fuckin "BluRay featuring 3-D Kanye shades to watch Seen's piece come alive" it's for archival restoration plain and simple. I think you guys are too caught up with figuring out how they're gunna make a buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Pryor Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 they want money from us to preserve the orginal film, but if i hand over some loot, am i going to get a copy of what i paid for?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gooch Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 a donation isn't usually given expecting something in return. i think culturally we have been conditioned to almost expect a "reward" in the form of a free shirt or tote bag.

Guest T14K Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 okay idiots. they want money to restore the MASTER. all 30 hours. That way it will be preserved, that way your old vhs isn't the ONLY copy. How do you faggots not get this? They aren't restoring it so they can release a new copy with free KRink mop. They want to preserve it that way all the original footage can last forever and not be lost to oblivion. Holy shit you people are retarded.

They want to preserve it that way all the original footage can last forever and not be lost to oblivion. Holy shit you people are retarded. Preserving it is great (and necessary). At the same time: " We are embarking on a project to restore STYLE WARS and bring it up to the highest technical standards available today in order to create a High Definition edition of the film. We will be transferring the original 16 mm negativeinto full HD 1080p while cleaning and restoring the film during the process. The HD master will be better, sharper and more brilliant than the original. From it we can strike new prints, author new DVDs and participate in the digital economy." This implies they want to re-release it in HD format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T14K Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 it implies that they are converting it to digital HD. And yeah they can. But tha'ts not why they were preserving it. Which was the point of my tirade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemFailure Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 You bring that point up like it holds water. It would be kinda silly to go the trouble of doing this then what, upgrade it to dvd? Go the extra mile. But like T14K reinforced the main point is locking this shit into the annals of history NH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Cats just don't give a fuck about nothing. Don't be surprised if/when they raise that money they don't make it back because everyone downloads that shit for free. I wouldn't expect nothing less from cats who don't think they owe nothing to no one. EVER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I was showing them some graffiti landmarks when they were in town. We smoked a J while driving somewhere and then I was all stoned like "Fuck! I'm in the back seat of a car that Henry Chalfant is driving." Then they started talking about doing a worldwide version of Style Wars. Then they put the video camera on me for a makeshift "interview" and I was hella' baked and freaked out. I'd kill to see that tape. It was about a decade ago. Trainwreck oner/noonefamous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crocodile Tears Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 i think Chalfant was documenting history and inadvertently made heros of kids who had talent in ways that were not recognized by non-warholesque types until this film was released. its almost like discovering something before it becomes valuable, buying all the stock in apple in the early 90's. rocking whole cars for fun, documenting for the sake of capturing. this film holds magic for so many reasons. maybe one day ill tell you how i really feel. ya know doodads....

Maybe they should look into getting a grant writer. ding ding ding I would be super suprised if they werent doing this already, since trying to get the money through nickel & dime off a free forum full of broke assholes isnt really an effective fundraising method. Honestly I would donate if I could, but im barely scraping along as is a few key benefits up there should net that $$$ no prob, 500,000$ isnt unheard of for film art fundraisers and for all yall being suprsed these kids are talking shit about this project?

SystemFailure Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 But it's just the skrate stupidity and potholed arguments that got me to respond. Not defending grafitti.
