The Colossus of Destiny: A Melvins Tale

[wynoocheewildman]

$90 grand raised with 48 hours to go. I'm impressed!!! And probably a little too excited...

[John Schuller]

The filming / editing/ sound quality of everything I have seen so far in the teasers have been great. This is going to rule. I have total faith!

20 hours to go people, if you want to help out, or get exclusive merch, or both time is running out!

Threw a few dollars more in there.

Hey guys and gals....

     Just wanted to thank you all for your support, and for sharing this thing with everyone for the last thirty days.  I believed that we'd be funded, but I didn't know how long into this that it would happen.  I also didn't know how much over we would go.  To see the final number sitting just shy of $99k is pretty damn amazing.  So on behalf of Bob and myself, thank you!

you only need to raise $1,562.96 a day will meet the goal!

Curiously, that's down to $1260.95 per day now, so it's heading in the right direction. I think the next week or so might be interesting seeing how it goes. Whether it evens out a bit or keeps going. As long as the money steadily rolls in as it has done i can't see there being a problem. It's funny that im not personally interested in pledging to the film BUT i have found myself really interested in this project as a whole and seeing how it's going.

Open up that wallet, penny pitcher! 

I feel the same way. Basically, what's in it for me? I don't give a shit about getting "free" downloads in return, & I am not impressed by the T-shirts(sorry not a comic fan) and I have bought 3 of Walsby's Melvins shirts in the last year. Sorry I'm just not throwing down $300 to get a 3rd bonus DVD that won't be in the retail release. I could close this thing out right now to finish it. But for something I'd watch 3 times a year?, no thanks.

I think Buzz/Dale could care less if this thing gets released. If they wanted it done, it would be, on their terms. I think they're looking at it as a true fan project, and are sitting on the sidelines sort of hoping/wanting for it to be done in this new way via kickstarter.

Throw Back Wednesday.

CONGRATS ON EXCEEDING THE GOAL!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone who helped.....except Chief Bitter-Bud Light of course. I just drank 10 beers in celebration of our achievement!

In my sleepy haze I noticed that my bank account was missing a few hundred bucks.  Happily realized that today was funding day and did a quick happy dance.  I'm drinking a few extra beers for our film makers this evening.

If I remember correctly Chief did indeed apologize and gave you money. So you should thank him too.

Chill out. Yeah, I want to see this film. I'll put in something soon here. I hope you guys aren't getting stressed out over this project and the rest goes smoothly. Sorry for being an asshole

He turned around swiftly and jumped on board. I'm not gonna go through this whole thread and quote all the positive things he had to say about the making of this movie but they're there.
Sometimes it you're just an asshole snd we can't help it. It happens to me constantly followed usually by immediate regret.

ANYWAY!!!
CONGRATS!!!
Looks like the kids are gonna be eating dog food cause I'm gonna have to be extra tight until payday!

Idle, we've been friends now for long enough for me to remember when this was all just a pipe dream. The amount of dedication and hard work you've put into this so far is staggering. The mental and emotional energy is you've put in is just as amazing. I knew it would happen. I kept telling ya, "It'll happen" and "Remember you're doing Gods work." and by fucking God look at this shit! LOOK AT IT.
It's finally become a reality and I don't know Bob from the other Bob or any other Bobs but I have no doubt that you're involvement was the apples for the pie. Thank you. I'm beyond grateful to have a chance to be a part of this. My favorite band ever. Who could ask for more?
