So much wrong I just don't even know where to start. Even some poorly made movies can draw you in with a well planned trailer but this? I'm not even remotely interested. I am shocked donations have even been made and have to laugh at the "rewards". Especially the $7,500 reward. Of COURSE you'll get all that reward stuff, technically your money is paying for it =D. lol thank you for making my night.

One of the donations was made by someone who donated $1 just so he could comment. (You can't comment unless you are a contributor.) Gloria is now repeatedly deleting his comments

I can't even fathom the damages she's doing to young potential writers. I personally started writing young because I like to tell a story. I thoroughly enjoy the reactions that come with it and the critique. Moved from writing into other areas, such as film and theater, until finally realizing (funny enough after ending a D&D campaign) that every branch I was taking was all about telling that story. It took a while for me to write (still have trouble) because I worry it's not good enough. I have friends frequently reading and rereading everything. Then you see people like her and Paolini (found you guys when the spork was first suggested and glad I stuck around) and it can be so discouraging. It simply gives off this idea that money makes a bigger fire than the spark of your ideas.

Though I will say she could probably make a killing in comedy based on her actions and writing (or at least the writing I have seen in little excerpts).

Joey talking about how the men's presence in the cave doesn't make sense. It's almost as if he KNOWS. I quite like the actor.

And Gloria playing Maya. Called it. I've always seen her as Maya.

Great post! Ah! That trailer. It is just amazing.

I gotta say, I love the kid that's playing Joey. He has that classic "I know this is a shit-storm and I'm going to have fun with it" attitude, which I can't help but appreciate. The rest of it...ugh.
