Golf, that was FANTASTIC!

Don't think any of us could have done it any better. Your pointing out of the "Magnum Reunion" on Las Vegas is tangible proof of the support of the old cast!

Hi, guys!

I cleaned it up by putting the plot suggestions on a separate page/attachment, and I sent the email this morning, with the hard copy for regular mail to go to the PO later this morning.

I don't know that we will EVER hear anything in response -- not like Larry Manetti's brief responses when we email him, huh? But at least we know Larry reads what we may have written to him.

Of course, if I ever do hear or see anything (other than the MAILER-DAEMON sending it back because his spam filter deleted it), you KNOW I will let you know first!!!

golf

P.S. I posted too soon! The MAILER DAEMON just sent the email back, so we're back to the hard copy being the only hope. It didn't say why, as in invalid email address or mailbox full -- just a "permanent error." (If anyone needs to see the return path to determine the problem, let me know.)

So, sorry, folks! If anyone ever finds a better email address, let me know, and I can always try again.

Thanks for the effort. Like you said, I'm sure they won't take our opinions into consideration, but it is nice to at least know we were able to voice it to someone.

Why not email a copy of the letter to Larry? He would probably enjoy reading it and he might even forward it to the appropriate people.

How about it Golf?? By what he answered I also think he would enjoy it.

Good job on that letter!

Perhaps this might get Larry thinking of angles in the industry to work if he knows and they know there is a grassroots movement against the planned film. I mean, have these producers even heard any sort of voice from the public against the film? Probably a resounding not. Look how the voice of fans resulted in Jericho coming back from cancellation for one more go.

I'm sorry to report that -- Brian Grazer did not even receive, much less read, our suggestions.

The letter was "returned to sender" and I got it back unopened today, with the notation "Unable to Accept -- Attempted - Not Known -- Unable to Forward."

So I don't know if this was a false address for him or what. And you may recall the email I sent got bounced back too, and now the "hard copy" letter came back.

We are voices crying in the wilderness with no one to hear us . . . .

I had sent an email to Larry Manetti with a short synopsis, but he replied,"I'm sorry but I can't take any script ideas as Universal has all right to it. I appreciate the thought."

:(

Disappointedly,

golf

Damn, this sucks! Good on ya for the effort though.

I wonder if Larry can get the address information for us. Or perhaps would he even give us any information for contacts. Surely this wouldn't be against any rules on his part. He must know somebody.
