SOMEONE BESIDES ME CALLS FOX SATAN
02.19.09
Apparently the deal between Fox and WB over Watchmen didn’t include a no-shit-talking clause, or if it did, Watchmen screenwriter David Hayter didn’t get the memo. Because during a Watchmen press day in L.A. yesterday, he pretty much served Fox while stomping their yard.
“I had worked for 20th Century Fox before, and I was fully under the belief that they had the potential to shut down the movie and remake it themselves out of pure spite and meanness. They’re a rough group of people … and somewhat ethically challenged.”
Ethically challenged? Don’t mince words, man. Those people are jerks. Meanies and jerks and jerkfaced meanies.
“… My experience told me that they could shut down this movie, and lock it away in Rupert’s vault … and make it the most unseen desired cult movie of all time … but I was extremely concerned. Many producer friends of mine said the same thing as Alex – that they’re just going for money or whatever — but I was like, ‘Yeah, okay, but there’s something beyond money going on at that studio and it has to do with … Satan.” [HollywoodOutbreak]
You can hear the full audio here, but sadly, he didn’t say that last part like Church Lady. Also, just a sidenote here, but if I were Rupert Murdoch I would definitely try to use the phrase “Rupert’s Vault.” Most likely as I patted my wife knowingly on the vagina.

“most unseen desired cult movie of all time”
Whatever, princess (and nice phrasing). Seems like someone’s forgotten Revenge of the Titfuckers 2: This Time It’s Personal. Also located in Rupert’s vault, and intriguing because it seemed fairly personal the first time.
Fox really shouldn’t piss off David “Metal Gear Solid’s Solid Snake” Hayter. He could infect them with FoxDie.
P.S. Dude’s name is Hayter. He’s drinking his own ade.
“Rupert’s Vault” sounds like a gay bar.
When reached for comment Rupert Murdoch responded:
“Ethics? What the Fox that?”
Hey Asshole Fox, I like your pointy ears. What’s up with that?
Asshole Fox is not to be confused with Foxhole Ass. Hey, war makes you horny.
That pic looks like a Pictionary game describing places I’d like to fuck Megan Fox.
Rupert Murdoch and Satan walked into a bar with a Rabbi. Satan looked at Murdoch and said “watch, man, this shit’s gonna be funny!”
Foxhole Ass is not to be confused with Trench Foot, Tennis Elbow or Cello Scrotum.
@Nom–and the Rabbi says “Bar? I thought you said bar mitzvah.”
/goes to kosher corner.
…make it the most unseen desired cult movie of all time…
The good writers make it look so easy.
If Fox had a deal with the devil they’d make better movies.
The most unseen desired cult song of all time is She Sells Sanctuary.
If Fox had a deal with the devil I’d lose respect for the devil. *shakes head ruefully* You’ve changed, man.
I’m ethically challenged.
Being white sucks.
Everything i do, i do for Satan.
“Watchmen press day in L.A.” not to be confused with “Watch men rape these women day in Atlanta”.
I thought everyday was Watchmen press day?
What’s this “Watchmen” movie you guys are talking about?
::sticks head back up ass::
Why would a movie about guys wearing watches be such a big deal anyway?
My brother and I used to call ourselves “The Swatchmen”. It was only for one Christmas, but fuck was that a good Christmas.
I’d rather watch the made-for-Telemundo version of this, Watchmeng.
Lagoz atha cabyolas Samahac et famyolas Harrahya ot Nomad o Natas!
…and presto! A Dragonballz script.
Unbeknownst to Lince, the fox, being the cunning linguist he is, talked his way pass the homeless tranny guarding the alley Lince lives in! He proceeded to rummage through the filth of Lince’s cardboard box and bit a small hole into Lince’s “extra-snug” condom (about time to get a new one, no?)
Moral of the story, The Mighty Feklahr hopes you have a sock full of nickels for your girlfriend, Lince, and He hopes this teaches you not to fuck with Mother Nature.
Fek, I think you need a little less Watchmen and a little more seamen in your diet.
Meanies and jerks and jerkfaced meanies.
The janitor saw my “jerkface” yesterday when I forgot to lock my office door. In my defense, I’d just given a two hour lecture on Balzac.
New up, yaktouchers.
Fox offered me $1 million for something I had been working on recently, but I had already flushed by the time they called.
David Hayter is also the voice of Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid games. He’s awesome!
