Great, I love comedies...:smile:
What did he spend 10,000 on to break the record.
Thanks for the info.
It sounds like he just isn't comfortable with any arrangement yet, and this private screening thing is just a way to let some people see it before making a commitment to anything else.
I don't blame him for waiting for a good deal, and I don't blame him for wanting to sell it to someone who knows what they're doing rather than trying to start some kind of video-selling service himself. He should talk to Accu-stats about it (he probably already has), or even Dr. Dave who started selling his videos online a few years ago. My instinct would be to skip selling DVD hard copies and go right to something like Vimeo, but who knows, it wouldn't surprise me if the target audience for something like this is more comfortable with buying discs than streaming.
Private showings... LOLOLOL. Man that's hysterical. I wouldn't go to that if my local pool room offered at a time that was convenient for me.
I want to buy a copy and own it.

The pursuit cost him opportunities to earn a living elsewhere, no?
I'd question how he could have spent that little.

Yeah. I sure would go to your room to see it either!
At 4 hrs, I would have to break viewing up into multiple sittings.
I'll require a modest appearance fee, travel costs and accomodations for my entourage.

I'd say you should pick me up, but you already stranded me once.:angry::yikes:
sensible
His approach actually makes sense to me.
Everyone has already stated he won't make much money here if he puts it on Youtube or sells DVDs. We know that. And selling the rights directly doesn't make him much either. Let's assume that he makes 10K either way. So what he has doesn't hold huge traditional market value.
So why sell? If you owned a car that you spent your entire life restoring and someone offered you next to nothing for it, wouldn't you rather just keep it? Well, John has spent his life in a quest to achieve a world record on camera. I don't blame him for not wanting to disperse it for pennies. I believe this is the same reason that Jay hasn't released Earl's 10 rack run for the million (which I would LOVE to see, Jay, PM me if I could ever do a 'private showing'!).
In the meantime, if he creates a tour from city to city and conducts 'tours' of his run in person, I see him filling up rooms. A chance to spend the afternoon with a US Open champion walking you through a record breaking straight pool run and doing Q&As? I'd support that. Not sure how big the groups would be, but if it was 10-20 people I'd chip in $1-200. I'd guarantee I'd learn something from that session and if I could have a good time, witness a record run, meet some friends, and pick up a few nuggets, for me that's worth taking a day off work.
Even if most people aren't interested that's fine with him. As long as he gets enough people in every city for him to tour the country and use this as a draw, why wouldn't he? Maybe he can't pull it off, but at least it's a good try.

How are you going to break it up into multiple sittings when you aren't allowed to leave until it's over.
I'm the boss (when wife and kids aren't around).
But really, I was referring to what version of purchasing would be of value to me.
If I had to sit thru 4 hrs of a pool vid, I'd pay double an hour into it, just to get out of the remainder.
I'd need my own copy, to start and stop as I see fit.
On a lighter note, there's a sure-fire ancillary revenue-generating opportunity for AZB itself in all this:
The site owners could eventually compile and sell to worldwide universities, the entire contents of the "Mr 600" thread (presently tallying in excess of 1,255 comments and 46,000 views) and the three or four other 626-related threads.
There's hardly a category in university catalogs (drama, sociology, asymmetrical warfare, entrepreneurial business, abnormal psychology, sports, conspiracy histories, secret societies, novel writing, etc.) whose professors and students wouldn't find the material appealing and applicable to decades of ongoing research and Master/Doctoral programs.

Many find the appalling appealing lately, so there is no dichotomy. And probably no Deuteronomy either.
That’s how I see it...I won’t watch a 4 hour video straight through in my home...
...damn sure I won’t be trapped some place for that long.
I was hoping he’d see Pat Fleming
