so we are the bad guys...

[freek133]

I was reading in pb2x about the "in your face" paintball movie... it seems the epic battle between the rag tag team, and the rich boys who make fun of the rag tag team is portrayed with two markers, the EMAG EXTREEM, and the ORRACLE... and guess who has the emag extreem....... thats right, the richy rich boys who are the "bad guys" of the movie... Im mad!!!

But then again, at least agd will be in a movie!!!

m&m turned down their offer to be in E.T. because they thought it would hurt their image, and as it turned out that movie is pretty much what kept recees peices(sp?) selling.

I like recees pieces they are so peanut butterlicious. They also own M&Ms. And SKittles on the other hand is like a whole other candy.

whoops, my fault....
It is the rag tag team that uses the orracle, it is an expensive marker but the "rag tag" teams main guy as stated in pb2x is using it, his team is playing against this richy rich team lead by the bad guy who doesnt like the main guy on the rag tag team... and the richy rich kid is using the emag extreem.

sorry for the mix up.

again, the oricle is not cheeo either

The rich kids should used Warped Sportz Dark Angel Ir3's. They're expensive and have lots of fancy stuff which makes them look even more expensive. And the Angel has the reputation for being the "best gun" by newbies. The rag tag team could use grey .68 Automags. (not a cheap gun by any means as far as quality, but less expensive and grey isn't flashy)

I hope they don't screw up with this movie, otherwise it's going to give the non-paintball crowd and newbies false perceptions and more to critisize. I want to see it though, when does it come out?

that would be a good idea. but we all know this movie isnt going to be a national movie

freek was talking about the e-mag user being seen as one of the 'bad guys.' before the movie et was filmed they asked the m&m/mars candy corp if they wanted to use this for some product placement (if you havent seen this movie et gets fed some reeses pieces). mars turns down the offer thinking it might have negative repercussions on sales because of it being eaten by a monster/alien/whatever. reeses takes them up on the offer and the sales generated off of the indirect advertising in the movie keeps reeses pieces sales from going belly up. i was trying to draw a paralell between these 2 movies. while we might see it as giving e-mags a bad name, it could give sales a boost. and everyone likes more money.

Oh.......okay I get it now, just didn't make a lot of sense to me at first. Does now though, wow I just thought of something....it's been like 18 or 19 years since I saw E.T. last, WOW!

Having the rich kids using the emag is a good thing. It portrays that the emags are the best that money can buy. The rich kids could have any marker they want and they choose to buy the emags because they are the very best. This puts AGD at the top of the pile in my books. I like it.

[freek133]

yeah, but even though it could portray that... We all know how this movie will end..

the team shooting the orracle (rag tag) will win in the final tournament against the team shooting the extreem (richy rich) portraying the cocker to over come the all mighty extreem.
