Boycott Paramount and its shitty F13th Boxset

OK WHO IS WITH ME, LETS BOYCOTT paramount and not buy this bullshit boxset and remebr to get as many people as possible to do the same and so on and so on, what do u guys think. If every member form all the major horror forums on the net agreed to boycott it, it could have a potential impact on paramount.

I would have bought it if part 3 was in 3-d, and if every single movie was un-cut gross out scenes.
And I don't like not one of the movies, so no sale!

Wow - with a compelling argument like this, how can I say no? Ok, you've convinced me.

(Hmmm, I'm sensing a tremor in the Force, almost like . . . . . an impending thread lock?)

Online Petitions and Boycotts seldomly work. If anything I would suggest Buying multiple copies. Why? well if you do then Paramount will see the huge number of sales and then would want to do a special edition dvd set to double dip.

This IS the double dip, but it's in a nifty box! So really buy as many as you can cause maybe they'll get it right the third time.

I boycott boycotts when people pushing them don't even bother to detail the reasons for the proposed boycott.

And since I wasn't buying it anyway, please don't take my not buying it as participating in a boycott. I'm not buying lots of things.

yeah- maybe they'll ignore that audience in the future since they appear to be so spoiled and fickle.

I haven't been following things, so what is so bad about this boxset? They're the censored R rated versions and not the unrated ones??

Is the box nifty? I've not seen it yet. If it's a hockey mask I'm buying it. I didn't care if its got PG versions of the movies inside!

I don't know which I should reprimand you on first: your use of the word "gay" or your incomprehensible sentence (???).

Well, sorry pal, but I'm still looking forward to the box set. They tried, they just couldn't find the source materials.

You can't blame them for trying, and I'll still be the first in line buying this set come Fall.

Ditto.

Life's too short and this box will do fine.

Is it me, or are there at least two posters on this thread who seem like they haven't hit puberty yet?

Just wondering.

Originally, I was not going to, but this thread has convinced me to buy this set.

Are people so dumb now that they can't spell "the" properly?

I'm certainly disappointed the set won't feature uncut versions of the films, but I held off on buying the separate releases so this is a must buy for me.
