after all is said and done - THE FINAL SHOW - Project that remains unfinished

[PQHooligan]

Let's see how long my comment lasts there - this is on par with FACTION as someone mentioned, and after that fiasco, I was hoping nothing like that would occur again

[wizfan]

Two months? TWO MONTHS? They need TWO MONTHS to "complete a few things for the DVD and Blu-ray and ship them"? What the hell are they going to fit in there, anyway?

Behind-the-scenes documentary about the not-making of this DVD.

Here's what I think happened: after initial, enthusiastic work on the project it was put aside and forgotten. Then an "Oh man! Forgot all about this! We've gotta get this thing done!" realization and a flurry of activity. How else to explain the silence, the re-posting of the same old clips instead of new material, lofty comments such as " we don't want to say for sure", "people get very invested in actual time lines", "without committing ourselves to anything, I think sometime in the next month to two months?"

Doubt they even accomplished that much. They just can't deliver, so they're forced to keep using the same holding messages and stalling tricks. It's either that or admit they don't have anything. Which they can't do, because they've kept using stalling tricks and holding messages. Vicious cycle- the more they delay, the more they're expected to deliver. So the more they have to delay. Had they not taken money, they could at least bail with their tails between their legs. But they did so they can't so they're fucked.

Well, I put myself up to be a seeder 11 hours ago - and asked them to change my order from a DVD to a BluRay. Have heard nothing back on either matter.

[FernandoDante]

LOL at all the How To Destroy Angels stuff being unveiled before this came out.

And September 23rd is TOMORROW.

EDIT: I posted "TICK TOCK" on their FB, and they just blocked me!!! I can't comment, like or anything! hahahaahhaha

[DigitalChaos]

I offered to seed on an insanely fast internet connection (the kind you don't turn down when seeding something like this). I was also one of the very first to contact them. I've heard NOTHING from them.

It seems another friend of mine just got blocked from their FB. They're online now. I'd suggest more snark, if they're so relentless about their censorship.

[icklekitty]

They've deleted a bunch of posts as well (as opposed to comments) including one lengthy message from someone on here (when we were discussing the fact that some people may be unaware of the full story) summarising the history of the project and warning against new people pre-ordering.

I think that might've been me. In which case: Called it. :P Seriously. I'll make up fake e-mail addresses to spam these guys more if I have to. They have it (and more) coming.

Edit: Yup. Mine's gone. as well as literally EVERY comment I can remember seeing on there from the last week or two. Left another one, but again, we know how long it'll stay up. :P

[DigitalChaos]

Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye
And it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling
Like I just knew it's something bad
I just couldn't leave alone
And I kept picking at that scab
Like it was a doorway trying to seal itself shut

[DVYDRNS]

theyve deleted my relentless bitching and blocked me as well. heheh.

[DigitalChaos]

I've seriously accepted this to just be some elaborate performance art based on the lyrics from Only. It's the only way it makes any sense.

[DF118]

I don't know if anyone's noticed this, but the last update on their website? It doesn't actually have a date on it. So anyone visiting for first time assumes they intend for the torrent to be released this weekend, all the time. Like if I just came across the site today, I'd think they were planning on releasing this coming Friday, because they could have posted this whenever.

Each of their other updates had dates on them.

I'm going to post this on their Facebook page and see how long it takes them to delete it too.

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

I went and took a few screenshots of things on their Facebook page. You never know, it might be kinda nice to have proof of some of the comments people have been making. Also, I just wanna point out this picture from them working in the studio a couple years ago.

[wizfan]

This picture reminded me of that time during the LITS tour when Trent said he'd like to hook up that giant LED screen at his home and watch porn. It wouldn't surprise me if the ATLD crew used their studio screens in a similar fashion. Hey, are those paper tissues?

"Everyone - here's the deal. We know we've been absent for the past few days, as there were a few final problems in encoding and renaming the video files, but it's time you know the truth. Those three videos that were uploaded to YouTube (The Wretched; Somewhat Damaged; Burn) are actually all we have done so far. Some small issues got in the way of editing the rest of the concert, but the project IS coming along, and will be delivered to you soon enough. The good news is, with 3 songs already edited, that leaves only 34 to go. As inspired by Amanda Palmer's successful experiments, a Kickstarter will be opened soon enough, so you can donate and help this project come to fruition."







Just kidding, you guys, come on. Might as well get a laugh out of this thing.

[thelastdisciple]

Delurking briefly.

So after three years ATLD still can't release a DVD of a three hour show.

In those same three years Trent Reznor got married, released the HTDA EP, composed two film soundtracks, won an Oscar, did a bunch of interviews, released the "Tetsuo" music, guested on a few of his friend's albums, is about to release the second HTDA album, is possibly working on a re-release of "The Fragile", is possibly working on new NIN, and produced two kids.

For ATLD to say they need more time takes some world class nerve.

I don't know why i found this so funny, given Trent and his craft... reading that the way it ends...it's as if he musically engineered them lololol

Real talk with this post though, this whole scam has gone on long enough.

[sheepdean]

I'm expecting the DVD to be on a DVD-r in the case they bought the dvd-rs in, with a black and white photocopied note about how it's teh best thing ever. And the content will be an embedded .avi

It's both funny AND sad, because we're all afraid that it'll actually happen.

[fillow]

I'm expecting the DVD

See, that's the problem. After everything people still expect them to deliver.

wow, how sad is it that I though this was real until I saw Alrea's post? I was already thinking up my awesome rant about how everyone knew this shit would happen...
fuck me

I was careful to give a few hints, such as "trouble renaming the files."

Then again, maybe not even that sort of mistake is beyond those people.

Despite having emailed at length with Sasan about the project, or perhaps because of that, I honestly took that at face value.

[shagg_187]

Yep. That Kickstarter joke got me. I was going on a massive rant right now lol.

[NotoriousTIMP]

*bump* so when is the lawsuit going down?

[somethingelse]

At this stage I would be happy with pictures of the hookers and all the blow the money was spent on.

[sheepdean]

Don't be silly, for pictures, they'd need to actually use some kind of media editor, and that is WELL beyond their scope.

[UninTY]

so, just to be clear....

no one on here has heard from anyone involved in this "project" in the last few weeks?

because the last thing I see on the facebook, mentions something about them "requesting money for seeding". Which makes absolutely ZERO sense.
