usually, from my law classes experience, this shit gets tied up in courts for years working out stupid little shit for each other. Not quite sure maybe someone can enlighten me as well.

I didn't support them this year. I used to go to the films every year. Was pissed about all the bullshit. Didn't help that the lift tickets were pretty awful too this year

nope. the only good part of that entire movie was footage stolen from EDIAS.

and they didnt even give credit to any of the skiers. How do you not give credit to guys like Thall, Dumont, Schiller, etc?

they failed so hard.

Jay Burkhalter There was a gentleman by the name of Blake Mckenna making "slanderous" comments about WME earlier today. Apparently he took offense to a lawsuit that WME had litigated some time ago and found it pertinent to rant on this here face book page. I fell in love with Warren Millers films when I was 10 years old and took offe...

Well, at least you used better grammar than the last person who PM'd me about this. Trivia though: who owns WME currently and what was the last film and year that Warren Miller himself was involved in? Answer these so I at least know you aren't ignorant and can then take your criticism knowing it's not from another 'fool' as you put it.

Sorry pal. I'm not here to stipulate ownership of WME, or get into some heated discussion about WME's litigatory propensities. If you don't like WME, then by all means, boycott them from your life. But you can never take away from or discount the underlying mission that WME stands for. Pure love of snow sports, ...

Does anyone think its worth petitioning Poorboyz not to sell footage to WME this season? Because from what I understand all the decent footage in WME movies comes from PBP.
Or is the income PBP gets from selling to WME a big percentage of their budget to make the next movie?

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that this Jay dude is a complete bro. Allow me to cite a reference:

"After all, it's not like they sued you brah." --specifically note the use of the word "brah" numerous times

"Forget it all. Live and let live. Hit the slopes and hit the keyboard less. Because on the day you die and your loving family is there around you, it really comes down tn how many turns you made and not how many bridges you burned in the name of some distant quarrel that never really effected you." --say this to yourself in a total "bro" voice, and tell me this guy does not have his sunglasses tilted up outside his beanie, a bro-stache, and a pair of birkenstocks right this moment.

Anyway, to McKenna, way to go dude. That dude sounds like a total prick and I think it's good you are letting ignorant fucks like him know how much that company has fucked over a great film legacy and the legend that founded it. props.

Yeah dude that Jay guy was a total doucher. Seriously "its not like they sued you" is such an ignorant statement. I feel bad becoming a fan of MWE on facebook to comment on that though.
