A Conspiracy Theory That Has Nothing To Do With The Election

All your news are belong to us.

I thought Brian shot the footage of cookie? If so then Brian owns it.. Brian (if you read this) why was it taken off MVM? And “All your news are belong to us.” may be true but what about 8a editing cookie’s log book? (is that true or speculation?)

I would really like to hear cookie’s side of this. Chuck could you give us some of the story that “we” (the people on the outside of the circle) do not get?

oh and by the way…that dyno should get a “D” grade, no?

The simple issue with this is not (for me) holding back the release of footage to make Chuck’s video more “pure” (sorry, I could not resist) but that a push to hold the v15 grade (or D15?) along with the footage.

and as for holding footage to hold value..
what about Jade? do you think the release of the footage (pre-dosage 5) affected the sales of that feature?

What about a mid problem dyno…and SOCK HANDS….if I recall correctly, not only have I been witness to you in the act of dynoing but I also remember you enjoying it! (i.e. Sunspot)

Pull the plank for your eye before you pick the splinter from ours.

so i’m confused chuck, was it your request to remove the footage, or did sponsors that support both the website and the upcoming release of your film cry out?

either way it is a particularly disturbing thing to read about in our burgeoning industry, where these new incidents could be setting precedents for things to come.

for example, silencing one climbers accomplishment for the sake of pushing a highly sponsored/advertised public face in the media? (oh wait…)

i don’t think one segment would make that much of a difference in sales, as referenced with jade, though i’m sure it leaves a bit of an ego bruise.

Chuck, I wasn’t planning on buying your DVD to see one climbing move. If anything, the recent MVM footage intrigues me more- I want to see how it could take one man 76 days to ‘climb’ Zion and another 30 min. I don’t see how the recent footage could be considered detrimental to the value of your production.

by the way… thank you for the media…. I love it… keep shooting… and doing dosages and other flicks….good work MVM..i JUST LIKE TO BITCH.

i didn’t mean to make the climbing community seem important, but i don’t think we need to be any more petty than we already are.

let’s just all go back to filling out our scorecards.

I’m kind of surprised more people haven’t thought that this move by Chuck is bullshiz. But I guess he needs some kind of hype to get an audience for his new movie after he nearly bored us all to death with Specimen.

Hopefully, someone else will get Cookie back out there and make a new short.

I realize this is effectively a long dead topic, but I felt the need to voice an observation. The footage of Weeks sending Zion was not shown in Pure. I can’t say whether it was in the DVD extras, but regardless, it discredits Mr. Fryberger’s claim that Brian Solano’s footage “took away from the commercial value of Pure”.
