J-Bolt News

[Karl J. Barnes]

You know, when someone tells me that they are this or that, I'd like more than their word on it. Just like when someone tells you that they are 'honest','caring',etc...the proof is in the pudding, not in the telling.

[MacQuarrie]

Your parody of the interview is unfair, because J-Bolt didn't try to steal credit for any of Moore's works. And it hinges on JB Fisher being a fiction, which remains unproven. From what I remember the man's retired, but that doesn't mean he never existed. I'd point you toward the fact that he exposed some crooked business dealing of his own family members, as I recall has been stated more than once. That's the kind of biographical detail I don't think you'd find written about an imaginary person!
He does not exist.

Here's the Clark County Library database (http://search3.webfeat.org/clients/lvccd/lvccldsearch.asp?inttype=a#dbs) which will allow you to search their entire collection. If J.B. Fisher has ever had a byline in any newspaper or magazine in Nevada, it will show up here.

Find him.

He. Does. Not. Exist.

Jim Fisher made him up. The J. B. stands for "J-Bolt."

Once more with feeling: put up or shut up.

[OMAR]

OMAR: read the wiki link. He didn't "poison" them. He drugged them.

Both bad, but again, there's a difference.

The link you posted did say he poisoned them, actually:

"...involved the non-lethal poisoning of prostitutes with the supposed aphrodisiac spanish fly..."

but you're right that he didn't murder them. I'm left wondering why anyone would feel the need to use "Spanish Fly" on a prostitute of all people.

I don't trust wikipedia anymore, and won't use it as a reference personally, ever since they buckled to pressure and sanitized the entry of a comics creator who complained because too much of the truth was revealed in his entry.

If their entry for De Sade is to be believed, he has blood on his hands for taking a position with the government during the Reign of Terror, but not as directly as I had previously believed, so in that manner I stand corrected. But I've seen the argument advanced elsewhere that someone who knowingly serves in a murderous regime, even if they just sign paperwork and follow orders without killing anyone themselves, is still culpable for what goes on. So maybe he is a mass murderer in a way, but not the way I was thinking of originally.

[TomStillwell]

I had thought that the subtext to your film was that by spreading his efforts too thin by working up such ancillary characters as Wolff, J-Bolt had put Bombshell in jeopardy of not getting to see her movie made. I didn't like that because of the implications for Draco. Bombshell is great, and I'm sure the movie will be too, but Draco is my personal favorite. When you had J-Bolt "kill" Wolff I was concerned that you were promoting the idea that Wolff and the others must (figuratively) die in order for the movie to be made. That was a big part of the reason I had a negative reaction to it, though it was certainly humorous. J-Bolt did misuse the word sentry in his postings, from what I can tell, and you played on some other humorous aspects of his situation quite well. At least you acknowledged Heather's existence.

Ah, a troll and his trolling. Not soon parted.

That representation of Heather is about as real as she comes.

So maybe he is a mass murderer in a way, but not the way I was thinking of originally.Um, you do understand that Guapo was just making a throw-away joke based on the fact that "Who's Who" is published by Marquis (http://www.marquiswhoswho.com/), right? Please tell me you got that.

I mean, nice tangent, but it really has nothing to do with anything. It was just a pun.

[OMAR]

No, I didn't get that. You could list internet references all day long that I haven't heard of and don't know how to use - or, more importantly, verify. In fact, it seems like you're going to.

That's why when you link to some site and say "search for yourself, so-and-so isn't there so that means they don't exist" it means nothing to me. I don't know anything about the accuracy of the sites in question, how complete they are, who created them, and what agenda the creators might have had.

[MacQuarrie]

Ah, a troll and his trolling. Not soon parted.

That representation of Heather is about as real as she comes.
It's spring. The flowers begin to bud, the hills are green again, and the trolls come out to play.

As for Heather, well, let's see...

A quick search through www.Public-records-now.com gives us 23 hits, none in Nevada. Playing the elimination game:

Search Criteria: ANDES, HEATHER

1. ANDES, HEATHER B
Age: 67
Location: LOS ANGELES, CA
Not her. Too old.

2. ANDES-BANCROFT, HEATHER L
Age: 29
Location: MONTVALE, NJ
LOS ANGELES, CA
FORT LEE, NJ
Age might be okay, but she has no history in Nevada and she's apparently married, which J-Bolt told me she is not. Not her.

3. ANDES, HEATHER M
Age: 29
Location: OREM, UT
Probably not her. She has many relatives listed in the same town. Doubtful that she's ever lived elsewhere.

4. ANDES, HEATHER
Age: 69
Location: LOS ANGELES, CA
Based on secondary details, this appears to be a duplicate of #1. Not our girl.

5. ANDES, HEATHER L
Age: 28
Location: WINFIELD, KS
YUKON, OK
SAN DIEGO, CA
MUSTANG, OK
LEMON GROVE, CA
ARKANSAS CITY, KS

Same person as #6.

8. ANDES, HEATHER MARIE
Age: 30
Location: POWELL, OH
SHERMAN OAKS, CA
WOODLAND HILLS, CA
MOORPARK, CA
ENCINO, CA
AGOURA HILLS, CA
Possible, but I doubt it. All those locations, but no record in Nevada.

9. ANDES, HEATHER M
Age: 22
Location: AKRON, OH
Too young.

10. ANDES, HEATHER D
Age: 32
Location: MCPHERSON, KS
MC PHERSON, KS
GALVA, KS
Possible but unlikely.

11. ANDES, HEATHER M
Location: POWELL, OH
Most likely the same as #8

12. ANDES, HEATHER
Location: INDIANAPOLIS, IN
Possible.

13. ANDES, HEATHER L
Age: 28
Location: ARKANSAS CITY, KS
Possible.

14. ANDES, HEATHER L
Age: 28
Location: ARKANSAS CITY, KS
Associated names:
MUNSON, HEATHER
Same as #14. But look, she's married. Not our Heather.

15. ANDES, HEATHER
Location: DUBLIN, OH
Probably #8 again, based on relatives' names.

16. ANDES, HEATHER
Location: DUBLIN, OH
Ditto.

17. ANDES, HEATHER
Location: FLAGSTAFF, AZ
Possible.

18. ANDES, HEATHER
Location: ARKANSAS CITY, KS
Same as #13.

19. ANDES, HEATHER M
Age: 30
Location: POWELL, OH
Same as #8 again.

20. ANDES, HEATHER M

Based on age and possible relatives, probably another iteration of #8.

21. ANDES, HEATHER M
Age: 22
Location: AKRON, OH
#9 again

22. ANDES, HEATHER LEANN
Age: 28
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK
Possible.

23. ANDES, HEATHER M
Age: 29
Location: OREM, UT
#3 again.

So, what does that leave us?

No match, and seven "possible" candidates, none of which are particularly likely. According to what J-Bolt told me on the phone, she was from Las Vegas.

Without a middle initial or age, it's pretty much impossible to prove any of these are Heather, assuming that "Heather Andes" is J-Bolt's alleged employe's real name, which he said it was.

More likely, she does not exist.

[MacQuarrie]

No, I didn't get that. You could list internet references all day long that I haven't heard of and don't know how to use - or, more importantly, verify. In fact, it seems like you're going to.

That's why when you link to some site and say "search for yourself, so-and-so isn't there so that means they don't exist" it means nothing to me. I don't know anything about the accuracy of the sites in question, how complete they are, who created them, and what agenda the creators might have had.
Are you referring to the Marquis link, or the Clark County Library link, or both?

The Marquis link is the same one J-Bolt posted when he announced his inclusion in Who's Who. I posted it here for informational purposes only.

If you're referring to the library one, don't take my word for it. Go to google, search for Las Vegas library and see what comes up. You obviously have money to burn, so spend half a buck on a phone call. Call the reference librarian at the LV library and ask her to search periodicals for author J. B. Fisher.
Oh. Wait. I forgot. You aren't interested in the truth. the only thing you're searching for is excuses to not look at any facts. Facts are the enemy. All you want are ways to dismiss unpleasant facts that would prevent your foolish verbal jousting.

I've put my facts up. Where are yours? I have the harder task. I'm trying to prove negatives; that J.B. Fisher doesn't exist, that Heather Andes doesn't exist. I'm asking you to do the easy part, find some shred of evidence that either of them exists. I've already done most of the hard work for you.

Come on, make an effort at something other than propaganda. Produce a fact, any fact.

This dancing is mildly entertaining, but it's losing its charm.

[Gail Simone]

I had learned in a class once that he poisoned a bunch of women. If that's inaccurate than I guess I owe an apology to his family, though I'm sure they have bigger worries than me when it comes to defending that guy's reputation.

Well, he did drug them, and they almost died, but no death equals not a mass murderer, that's all. No biggie. A lot of people think he was a killer.

Oh, and here's an interesting factoid...I quoted him somewhere in the dialogue in Of Like Minds.

[Guapo Méndez]

No, I didn't get that. You could list internet references all day long that I haven't heard of and don't know how to use - or, more importantly, verify. In fact, it seems like you're going to.

And yet you believe J-Bolt is playing it straight.
My mind boggles.

[MacQuarrie]

And yet you believe J-Bolt is playing it straight.
My mind boggles.
The only way this game can continue is if we all agree to play with OMAR's stacked deck.

Anything that favors Fisher must be taken at face value with zero verification or evidence.

Anything that contradicts him must be verified and substantiated according to the most rigid legal standards of evidence. Eyewitness testimony is inadmissable. Statements from the people identified as being involved (Adam West, Samantha Fox, Ms Baskow, Ms Moose, Jackson Bostwick, Jason Pearson, etc.) are irrelevant or supsect.

Those are the ground rules. Now, do you want to play or not?

[sk716]

Dude, it's a J-Bolt thread. We follow the Humpty Dumpty School of linguistics and semantics when J-Bolt is invoked:


God knows we're down the rabbit-hole anyway, we might as well have fun.

I declare this thread to be henceforth devoid of logic, reason or any of the dictates of reality. Let lunacy reign!

Mac, you're my hero.

[MacQuarrie]

Mac, you're my hero.
No, you're my hero.

You're the one who put in all those hundreds of hours building that fake Clark County Library website, with all those phony databases loaded with hundreds of thousands of carefully-screened files, all so that we could fool OMAR into believing that world-reknowned journalist J.B. Fisher doesn't exist.

And that fake Who's Who site, not to mention hacking into the US Copyright office and planting that fake registration for Jim "J-Bolt" Fisher.

When it comes to faking things on the internet, SK716 is the Wizard.

[Guapo Méndez]

I bet sk716 has a mainframe to pull off those dastardly deeds.

Thought that was Moliere...

Heather Andes is clearly just an anagram of "A REHASHED TEN".

[Justin D.]

This is all well and good, but . . . can I have $28 too?

Send it here:

Justin Davis

I have no children, elderly people, or invalids living with me so I'm not liable there. However, I am looking for a job again so anything's good. If you do this, I promise to stop popping into random threads on the YABS board to ask for $28.

Well, with Winnick writing him you never know. By the end of the year he will be a drunken basher.

I hope there'll be a DVD collection of the J-Bolt animated clips some day.

[TomStillwell]

If Warner Bros. and Cartoon Network had control you'd see that DVD some time in 2011.

[Weetomuncher]

I thought J-Bolt's life story was fully explained in the documentary film 'The Rise & Fall Of The Muppets'.

It was the bit just after they mentioned Kermit's sex change and Miss Piggy's cocaine habit.

I just have to say, Mr. Fisher has to have been holding onto that little gem for awhile. I'm going to try to work that into conversation somehow.

[TomStillwell]

I dunno about you guys but when I seriously threaten legal action upon someone I usually do it in a certified letter and not an internet post.

[Matt Algren]

I dunno about you guys but when I seriously threaten legal action upon someone I usually do it in a certified letter and not an internet post.Oh, Jim's been threatening legal action on message boards for years. It's his thing that he does.

Shouldn't you be working on the final part of the J-Bolt trilogy, set in a sperm bank? You know, the one with Bombshell as the teller. It practically writes itself!

[TomStillwell]

Oooo...but that will be the fourth part in my unending tribute to J-Bolt.

The next sequel is J-Bolt vs. The Simone Syndicate.

And then J-Bolt: From Spanks to Banks.

[Sharpandpointies]

RARELY EVER DO I TYPE POSTS IN CAPITAL LETTERS, BUT THIS IS JUST HOW FURIOUS YOUR LITTLE LYING TIRADE HAS MADE ME!!!

Hmm.

Actually, the Omar/J-bolt Superman/Clark Kent thing is seeming more plausible all the time.

Gail

[Matt Algren]

Okay, so on a hunch I checked out Fisher's site. Turns out it's closed for construction (http://lightningboltentertainment.com/), which is cool, cause at least he's trying.

The awesome part is this: "We're giving EVERYBODY access to the exclusive Lightning Bolt Comics MEMBERS STORE, as an appreciation of your patience while we're making this pain-in-the-butt transition. This is a great offer we're giving to even the non-members because you'll save a lot of $$$ on LBC merchandise..."

Hey, I'm even a non-member! And I like to save a lot of $$$! So again, good on Jim.

Then comes the awesomely surreal part. Are you ready? Seriously, sit down. Take a deep breath in...aaaaaaand out. That's it, again, in........don't hyperventilate, be careful.....out.*

There. Now you're ready. J-Bolt has released Bombshell postage stamps. And not just any postage stamps, these a) are real, and b) include text that...well, you have to see it to believe it. Click on the image to see a larger version of the stamp.

I'm torn on whether to get postage stamps or a license plate frame. Maybe both?

*Extra points to whoever gets the ridiculously obscure reference, which has nothing to do with J-Bolt.

That's going right into the sig.

Hey, my first sig! :)

[TomStillwell]

That first item meets with my stamp of disapproval.

[Gail Simone]

The whole thing is, Omar just isn't as dumb as people say. He's a smart guy.

So it makes me wonder, except that people I know and trust have met J.Bolt and have nothing but hilarious things to say about him.

Weird.

Gail

[Typo Lad]

Maybe he's got MPD.

[palaeomerus]

I don't want Bombshell postage stamps. I was Demon Dawn postage stamps.

Also I'm impressed that JB Fisher can do a gradient on a font. Jeez. The guy might give us a lens flare by next week at this rate.

That's can't be J-Bolt. There is only one misspelling and one misuse of grammer. J-Bolt, when infuriated can't even spell employment. And, I'm pretty sure FREAKIN' is not a word he uses with any frequency. And if he did, he wouldn't add the apostrophe in place of the 'g'.

The whole thing is, Omar just isn't as dumb as people say. He's a smart guy.

So it makes me wonder, except that people I know and trust have met J.Bolt and have nothing but hilarious things to say about him.

Weird.

Gail

He reminds me of the dorky villians from the early '70s Super Friends show.

Y'know, the type that spends millions of dollars on plans and equipment to rob a bank of ten thousand dollars.

...and they get tripped up by Marvin and Wendy.

That is the best metaphor I've seen all day.

[sk716]

Man, it's weird, I was just over at the LBC site and Googling for pages, he's taken almost all of the pages down.

I wonder if he took down the images, too...

Edit: Yup, he must have just gone in and deleted all of the directories. The Ashcan is gone, the coloring pages are gone, and the worst part... BombShell with Commentary is gone.

*cries*

[Cam63]

There, there, my lebian friend...

[Crowley]

Yeah honestly this J-bolt tirade somehow doesn't sound like him.

it smells of bad comedy.

[Magneto_X]

Maybe he's got MPD.

He doesn't have a mental disorder (that was can confirm) J-Bolt just likes to use false aliases to make himself look like he has employees and also people to worship him on message boards---exspecially his own.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I wonder if that Catherine Ingham is for real ? Its over at comicon.

[EdContradictory]

BombShell with Commentary is gone.

*cries*
I saved it. :)

[TomStillwell]

I e-mailed the real Judith A. Moose directly to get the straight poop on all this stuff. Awaiting a reply if any.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I really sometimes wonder....how can this guy get this much attention. Its like the moment he says or does something INSTANT COVERAGE. He should really thank Gail and the others. Without really everyone , he would have faded into obscurity years ago.

[Cam63]

But, Super...

He's speshall... Very speshall...

[Cam63]

I e-mailed the real Judith A. Moose directly to get the straight poop on all this stuff. Awaiting a reply if any.

We await her reply with baited breath.

I hope she's not scarred.

It's like looking at a trainwreck. J-Bolt is said trainwreck. Only he provides hours of entertainment.

The sad thing is that if he actually produced a buyable comic it would sell better than anything any other YABer aside from Gail could put out.

We have more support for the trainwrecks than the true hard working joes.

Here is Judith A. Moose's response to my e-mail.

Hello Tom,

Thank you for your message. I had received one yesterday from another member of
your board pointing out the same item. Up until that point, I had no idea of my
supposedly posting on the forum and you may post this message as a reply if you
wish. An intern that I had in my office through the end of June had mentioned something
about seeing my name connected with a forum concerning J-Bolt stating that Jaki
Baskow and I are involved in his projects. Not having seen the forum or any of
its content, I commented to my intern that we both did work with him but that Jaki
didn't currently represent him and that I hadn't worked with him since around
the end of 2000 or beginning of 2001. I had no idea that he would take it upon
himself to impersonate me, much less create chaos in the process. As each day passes,
I'm becoming more pleased that I let him go last month as I have discovered
that this is not the first item he's lent my name to.

Catherine Ingham is indeed my assistant and while that's not exactly the message
I had dictated to her over the telephone yesterday, it's close enough to what
I wanted to convey. I personally have no problem with J-Bolt at all. As far as
I'm concerned, he's a talented artist who is simply trying to find his way
in an industry that he loves. We socialized quite often throughout the time we
worked together and I considered him to be a friend.

For the sake of knowledge, other than yesterday's message from Catherine, I
will not be posting on the forum as my business dealings with J-Bolt were over several
years ago. I wish him well with his current and future endeavors but honestly have
nothing to discuss. Any type of future discussion that I would possibly have with
him would be either over a telephone or face-to-face. I have two companies to run
on a daily basis and taking part in a smear campaign isn't something that I
would do. One of my companies is an Entertainment PR firm, at which my staff and
I protect people's reputations, not try to destroy them.

Once again, thank you for your message. I appreciate you bringing this issue to
my attention.

With all good wishes,
Judith A. Moose, President
JM Media Group / Signing Stars Publishing

Now here's an interesting tidbit. In my e-mail I referred to J-Bolt as Jim Fisher almost exclusively and only once as J-Bolt. Even then I referred to him as someone who also goes by the name J-Bolt.

She never corrected me and she herself called the man I named as Jim Fisher J-Bolt.

[Crowley]

okay my bullshit detector is going crazy.


An intern decides to impersonate his boss online?
J-bolt is a talented artist?

yeah something smells here...

[Cam63]

Fishier than a tuna trawler.

If it's bullshit than it's coming from her end. I don't have any reason to make stuff up about J-Bolt. He does enough of that himself.

Personally I think it's on the up and up.

Miss Moose is in the PR business. She's not about to break bad on a former client even if he's a scumbag loser like J-Bolt. One, that opens her up to legal action by said former client. Two, it's not a big draw for future clients if she talks trash about them once out of their employment.

[Magneto_X]

The sad thing is that if he actually produced a buyable comic it would sell better than anything any other YABer aside from Gail could put out.

We have more support for the trainwrecks than the true hard working joes.

This is true.

He's YABS version of Liefeld, I guess. Only Liefeld actually has his stuff published.

Controvercy sells.

He really should go into marketing instead. That's where his real genius is.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Ok I can see Moose's point on this. She really can't discuss his business practices beyond what she said and no matter how bad J-Bolt's trying to provoke it. So she's being smart about it. Good luck Mrs.Moose ...and thanks for the answers.

[Magneto_X]

okay my bullshit detector is going crazy.


An intern decides to impersonate his boss online?

It's J-Bolt. It wouldn't be out of character for him to impersonate a former employer that fired him, IMO. He's certainly used alisases online before.

J-bolt is a talented artist?

yeah something smells here...

My guess is that she wanted to be polite and professional. It's probaly a protocol to alwasy say every ex-employee, even ones as nutty as Fisher, are "talented". A little lie so no more bad blood gets spilled.

[Crowley]

http://www.jmmediagroup.com/index.htm

okay found her website...

I don't doubt any of you... it's just that J-bolt's last post seemed uncharacteristically lucid.

[OzBat!]

Maybe he's found better meds?

[OMAR]

I personally have no problem with J-Bolt at all. As far as I'm concerned, he's a talented artist who is simply trying to find his way
in an industry that he loves. We socialized quite often throughout the time we worked together and I considered him to be a friend.


.... Wow.

This puts the lie to so many filthy insinuations that have been made in the past few years. There are definitely some folks out there who owe apologies to J-Bolt. It's as simple as that.

I called it, a few pages back in this thread and over in the comicon thread. That wasn't Judith Moose. It was all a lie.

There've been a lot of lies told, here and elsewhere. But lies tend to fall apart, eventually. I wonder how many more lies we've been told about J-Bolt's relationships with others in Hollywood.

I have a feeling we've only scratched the surface.

[TomStillwell]

Um...Judith A. Moose is not in Hollywood. She has a PR firm running out of Nevada.

Her message also is contray to statesments J-Bolt has made about having Miss Moose as an agent when their association ended years earlier.

[OMAR]

Um...Judith A. Moose is not in Hollywood. She has a PR firm running out of Nevada.



Oh, my bad. Rare for me to make a factual statment like that without having checked my facts yet, but that's what must have happened for me to make such an obvious, provable error. Huh. My sincerest apologies to all concerned.

Hmm... y'know, wait a minute. Let's Google her name and see what comes up.

"In January 2004 at the urging of her clients Judith moved from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and changed Stars In My Eyes to the JM Media Group. Her client base has grown to include 34 actors, a couple singers and a few old familiar faces. "

http://www.amazon.com/gp/blog/id/AVF13J54DK379/104-0893892-2324754

Maybe it isn't techically a lie, if you authoritatively state a fact about someone with being sure. I honestly don't know. But it's probably not good. Maybe it isn't just J-Bolt who has the right to expect some apologies.

So....ya use google to find her name...but when people showed you that Jim Fisher owned the trademarks to his creatons ( LBC) you didn't believe them . Pretty wild....so why should we believe you ? ;)

Think about it like this Omar...without people learning of J-Bolt here...who would know him ? I came online in 1999 and for 2 to 3 years had no clue who or what he was til I found the link here. Then learned his story. Yes I shared some laughs and all. It was a funny tale made more funny with what I read of his ashcan.

But ya know what....I always said that if he put out a book I'd buy it. Others here have said the same things. If anything were the guys who would more than likely buy his work if it came to a LCS.

Good luck Omar supporting him. :)

For the record, I have zero beef with Judith Moose, even though this intern thing seems like a huge steaming pile of...hmm...something. But I have no doubt she's a nice person with a legitimate business.

There was a post that fit in well with things she's said before, and Jaki has said before, then there was a very threatening post from J-Bolt, then there was a half-hearted retraction.

That's all we know. I frankly think the whole thing was bullshit, and not very GOOD bullshit, either.

Omar, I had no respect for you before, but I defended your intelligence. Now I, like everyone else on the net, think you're a goddamned dork with your head perpetually up your own ass.

In January 2004 at the urging of her clients Judith moved from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and changed Stars In My Eyes to the JM Media Group. Her client base has grown to include 34 actors, a couple singers and a few old familiar faces. Judith Moose has assisted in the production of the A&E Network’s Biography episode on Joan Collins, the NBC 75th Anniversary Special, VH-1’s Where Are They Now, VH-1’s 25 Best Superstar Cameo Appearances, VH-1’s Super Secrets of TV Shows and is currently serving as the head of PR for the feature film Woman’s Story which premiered on September 10, 2004. In November 2004, Judith released her second book titled Another Time, Another Place: Quantum Leap with co-author Richie F. Levine.

2005 has been an equally productive year. Judith released her third book titled Glamour, Greed & Glory: Dynasty in August 2005 with co-author Paul D. Keylock, (personal assistant to Joan Collins) and launched a publishing division called Signing Stars. Next up on her list of things to do is her fourth book, tentatively titled Their Hobby is Murder, is a guide book for the hit series Hart To Hart starring Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers. Their Hobby is Murder is slated for a Spring 2006 release.

The company website says she's in LA. By continuing to spread this lie, even after being corrected, you could hurt her business. Potential clients might feel that if she's limited to Las Vegas she can't help them get work in Hollywood.

Well, and I'm sorry to have to say this, but I think you're looking more and more like a moron as this conversation continues. That emoticon sealed the deal.

This is like trying to argue a factual case on the Byrne forum. You're so busy patting each other on the back that the truth doesn't have a chance. When I correct you, Gail/Byrne steps in to slam me with a personal insult, ignoring the truth.

Look, I'm trying to be respectful here but you're just plain wrong. And 30 seconds of research would have proven it, if you'd taken the time instead of relying on one of your bullettakers to get his facts straight.

EDIT: Just got off the phone with JM Media. They still have their office in Las Vegas but do most of their media work in Hollywood. Tom's statement - "Judith A. Moose is not in Hollywood" - is wrong.

Her website says she's in Hollywood.It also says she's in Vegas. Right there when you click on "Contact Us". Only when you dig into other areas do you find the LA office. This, of course, has nothing to do with anything and changes none of the arguments on either side. It's just an attempt at distraction from the silliness that is Jim Fisher. Nice try, though.This is like trying to argue a factual case on the Byrne forum. You're so busy patting each other on the back that the truth doesn't have a chance.

I wouldn't call it recent, but you're on a good track.

[Mike Smash!]

So if J-Bolt is as successful and legitimate as OMAR says he is, why is it that he's only released a SINGLE comic book -- and a bad one at that?

I mean, "experimental wolf blood"?

[OMAR]

Either OMAR really is another of J-Bolt's personalities, or he's been studying J-Bolt's rhetoric for too long.

Seriously OMAR, this is the point you choose to argue?

No, check again. It was a reference I made. Tom seized on it, ignoring the point I was (arguably, I suppose) making.

[OMAR]

That you actually called them is insane. You realize this, yes?

I saw someone was spreading misinformation about them, so I called the "contact us" number posted on their public website. I didn't mention anything about the internet, Gail, J-Bolt, or movies. I took 20 seconds of the receptionist's time to clarify whether they worked in Hollywood, thanked her for her time and hung up.

Didn't mess with anyone's business, didn't slander anyone, and was able to verify that they do work in Hollywood - the kind of information I'm sure they're glad to have desseminated.

[OMAR]

Well then, genius, Judy might want to change the contact information on her own website. For a firm that's based in Hollywood it might help to actually have a business phone and mailing address in, you know, California.

http://www.jmmediagroup.com/contact_us.htm

Tom, I said:

"I wonder how many more lies we've been told about J-Bolt's relationships with others in Hollywood."

You countered with:
"Um...Judith A. Moose is not in Hollywood. She has a PR firm running out of Nevada."

And I restated that she is in Hollywood, providing an admittedly broken link to a statement about how she moved there in 2004.

Really wouldn't have been any big deal if you'd acknowledged your error, or even just ignored it. But instead you had to "prove" me wrong.

Then, in the space of 5 minutes, Gail made 3 posts. One calling me an idiot. Another saying I looked like a moron. And a third saying that I'm a Goddamn dork with my head up my ass (Gee, I wonder if she had some pent up hostility that she was waiting for an excuse to vent?). All based on the "fact" that I had been "proven" wrong on one small factual matter.

Now she may believe all those things about me, and maybe you all do to. But regardless of that, the truth is I was right to refer to Judith Moose as someone in Hollywood, Tom was wrong to correct me, and it's clear none of you will ever admit that.

Is it bizzare and pathetic that we're going back and forth over this minor point? Sure, this whole thread's an exercise in pathetic weirdness. But I didn't start that arguement over her location, and I was right in my position.

All the personal insults in the world can't change that.

[OMAR]

So if J-Bolt is as successful and legitimate as OMAR says he is, why is it that he's only released a SINGLE comic book -- and a bad one at that?

I mean, "experimental wolf blood"?

I never said J-Bolt has been successful. That's what makes dumping on him for 5 years so pathetic and meanspirited. It's kind of my point - he's a guy working hard to fulfill his dreams, and having a hard time of it.

[OzBat!]

But regardless of that, the truth is I was right to refer to Judith Moose as someone in Hollywood, Tom was wrong to correct me, and it's clear none of you will ever admit that.You're both playing semantics here. They have a presence in both Hollywood and Nevada. It's plain that that occurred so that she could better serve and develop growing links with Hollywood based clientel. Nothing you OR Tom has said contradicts this. It's ALSO plain that Jaqui let Fisher go years ago, while he continued to use her name after the end of the business relationship in his bid for maintaining an air of respectability.

That's very close to fraud, in my books.

[OMAR]

You're both playing semantics here. They have a presence in both Hollywood and Nevada. It's plain that that occurred so that she could better serve and develop growing links with Hollywood based clientel. Nothing you OR Tom has said contradicts this.

Either this attempt at a compromise is more intellectual dishonesty, or you haven't been paying attention.

What Tom said - "Um...Judith A. Moose is not in Hollywood. She has a PR firm running out of Nevada." - does indeed contradict your explanation.


I never said she wasn't in Nevada. He said she wasn't in Hollywood. Only one of us is wrong.

McDonald's is in all 50 states. Moose's business is in Las Vegas, Hollywood and for all I know maybe somewhere else.

[OzBat!]

You're right, I apologise. Tom DID say she was not in Hollywood. Then we have this little gem:The company website says she's in LA. By continuing to spread this lie, even after being corrected, you could hurt her business. Potential clients might feel that if she's limited to Las Vegas she can't help them get work in Hollywood.

It's a lie, now, because you've been corrected and you're sticking with your story.This was in direct response to Tom linking to the JM Media Group's own contact page (http://www.jmmediagroup.com/contact_us.htm), which has their primary contact as? Ooh look! Nevada! If this is "continuing to spread this lie", then it is the company that is lying.

So, as long as we're attempting "more intellectual dishonesty", lets make it equal opportunity, okay?

[TomStillwell]

It's kind of my point - he's a guy working hard to fulfill his dreams, and having a hard time of it.

No, he's not. An actual hard working guy in five years would have produced some sellable work. No amount of "hard times" would have stopped that from happening.

Do you think any of the rest of us trying to break into the comic industry have smooth sailing and tons of support? What conditions has J-Bolt faced that no one else has endured to make it in the business?

An honest, hard working person with true talent and ambition makes it happen. Period. No excuses. They may not be Stan Lee but they come out and do the absolute best they can.

Guys who made it in comics years ago showed up in the bullpens day and day out looking for work, eager to get whatever they could. Working in comics is just that. Work.

I work a 9-5 job and have a family waiting for me when I get home. I write on lunch breaks, on the train, and when my four year old daughter is in bed. I suffer from a sleep disorder and I'm dead tired most of the time which makes it hard to write...but I do it. Aside from writing, I personally handle every aspect of marketing, selling, packaging, and shipping my comics & posters.

Gail's not at home eating bon-bons burning off a script every so often. She's working her tail off with BoP, Secret Six and The Atom. Those are monthly comics which take months to produce.

Nope, J-Bolt's never worked a hard day in comics. He wouldn't know hard work in comics if it wore a kilt and danced a jig for him. He came with a big mouth spouting off great claims but without the drive to back them up.

Instead of actual work he's handed out lies, scams, and false boasts. At best J-Bolt is a poser. At worst he's a slimy snake oil salesman who'd just as soon bilk you as earn an honest wage.

I vehemently resent you or anyone else claiming J-Bolt's just some poor schmuck having a hard time making his dream come true. That belittles the hard work and sacrifice everyone else in comics has gone through to make it work.

Bottom line, if J-Bolt had just shut his trap and worked like the rest of us his dream would be a whole lot closer to coming true.

[OMAR]

The lie is that they aren't in Hollywood.

Where it says on the website that they can be contacted in Nevada, that's not a misstatement or a lie. They can be. None of that implies that they are not in Hollywood. When Tom says it does, he's wrong.

That's not semantics, it's 9th grade logic.

When he continues to claim that - and I haven't see him post a retraction, so I'm assuming he still doesn't believe they're in Hollywood - in my opinion it turns into a lie.

Wow, it's hard to believe you have so much time to spend telling people that Judith A. Moose isn't in Hollywood. Look, I have nothing but respect for what you're doing, juggling all those things, but you're off-base here. She is in Hollywood. I realize it's not easy to be wrong about correcting someone in public, especially when it's done with such fervor. I've been there myself before.

[Sabrinaset]

But the point he's making is that in the years J-Bolt has been around talking about how hard he's working, he hasn't backed it up with any amount of work, it's all talk.

I mean, just in the past month, I've made three drawings on YABS. One of the Black Canary, one of Karen El, and a third of the Sapphic Surfer. I bet I could get three YABSies to buy those pictures tonight, if I really wanted to. Okay, the Sapphic Surfer one would be the easiest, but still ... it seems that me doing a few sketches in a few minutes is more work that J-Bolt, with all his so-called connections everywhere, has accomplished in YEARS.

Well, we know he's done some work at some point, given the ashcan. But if you're saying - or if Tom is - that he could have done more, that he hasn't done enough recently, I won't dispute that. He's said the movie takes up most of his time. Obviously there is no finished movie to judge, yet, but I join those who wish he'd spend more time at the drawing board.

[TomStillwell]

I'll say it very clearly so it's not misunderstood.

When I said Miss Moose wasn't in Hollywood that was because given the contact information off her site I had no reason to think she was anywhere but Nevada. I was wrong based off Miss Moose's own information.

When you confirmed she was indeed in Hollywood I never said that was wrong. I just pointed out that they may want to put that somewhere in their contact information especially when you contended that it might hurt her business otherwise.

So, no lies involved. Just unclarified information.

Now, let's talk about lies.

He's said the movie takes up most of his time.

Which movie would that be?

[JeffreyWKramer]

The correct answer is "who gives a shit?"

You're playing distraction games to avoid the fact that Jim Fisher lied about being represented by Judith Moose and Jaki Baskow for a couple of years after their relationships ended.

[MacQuarrie]

Here is Judith A. Moose's response to my e-mail.



Now here's an interesting tidbit. In my e-mail I referred to J-Bolt as Jim Fisher almost exclusively and only once as J-Bolt. Even then I referred to him as someone who also goes by the name J-Bolt.

She never corrected me and she herself called the man I named as Jim Fisher J-Bolt.
Here's a more interesting tidbit. I e-mailed Judith Moose when that first post appeared a couple of months ago, and I got a reply from her.

I'll post it tomorrow.

Curiouser and curiouser.

I hope it explains why Z grade famous wankers ( I can't call them celebrities anymore ) earn more per annum than some countries.

Did anyone else notice that the reply letter contradicted itself:


Hello Tom,

Thank you for your message. I had received one yesterday from another member of
your board pointing out the same item. Up until that point, I had no idea of my
supposedly posting on the forum and you may post this message as a reply if you
wish. An intern that I had in my office through the end of June had mentioned something
about seeing my name connected with a forum concerning J-Bolt stating that Jaki
Baskow and I are involved in his projects. Not having seen the forum or any of
its content, I commented to my intern that we both did work with him but that Jaki
didn't currently represent him and that I hadn't worked with him since around
the end of 2000 or beginning of 2001. I had no idea that he would take it upon
himself to impersonate me, much less create chaos in the process. As each day passes,
I'm becoming more pleased that I let him go last month as I have discovered
that this is not the first item he's lent my name to.

Catherine Ingham is indeed my assistant and while that's not exactly the message
I had dictated to her over the telephone yesterday, it's close enough to what
I wanted to convey. I personally have no problem with J-Bolt at all. As far as
I'm concerned, he's a talented artist who is simply trying to find his way
in an industry that he loves. We socialized quite often throughout the time we
worked together and I considered him to be a friend.

For the sake of knowledge, other than yesterday's message from Catherine, I
will not be posting on the forum as my business dealings with J-Bolt were over several
years ago. I wish him well with his current and future endeavors but honestly have
nothing to discuss. Any type of future discussion that I would possibly have with
him would be either over a telephone or face-to-face. I have two companies to run
on a daily basis and taking part in a smear campaign isn't something that I
would do. One of my companies is an Entertainment PR firm, at which my staff and
I protect people's reputations, not try to destroy them.

Once again, thank you for your message. I appreciate you bringing this issue to
my attention.

With all good wishes,
Judith A. Moose, President
JM Media Group / Signing Stars Publishing

My e-mail conversation with Ms. Moose is not for public posting, but I was left with the distinct impression that she was simply refusing to say anything negative about him. That's her job, to protect people's reputations rather than to tear them down, and she does her job well, but I do not see anything to indicate that she is "a fan."

But even if she is "quite a fan," that does not change the fact that Fisher was falsely claiming she represented him a good three years after their professional relationsship ended.

A fact which you continue to ignore.

I don't understand how that became a "fact". You're saying that they gave differing accounts of when their professional relationship ended? Even if that's true, one of them could have been honestly mistaken - and how are we to tell which of the two parties were wrong (or lying)?

[PatrickG]

Well, you could go based on credibility.

I don't know Moose's background but J-Bolt's lack of credibility is a known commodity.

I know you perceive this as an underdog situation, Omar... But why do you think we picked on J-Bolt instead of Kirkman or Bendis, who were both fairly indy around the same time J-Bolt showed up.

And nobody has jumped me or Tom Stillwell or Typo Lad or any number of "underpublished" creators on these boards.

And if anybody DID jump us, our reaction would be an honest "Yeah. I'd like to do more" and NOT "I am president of a multinational corporation with international fanclubs and I'm a great humanitarian who will be remembered in history books for a five page ashcan".

[Typo Lad]

I wish someone would jump on me. I could use the free publicity.

I was there in 2004 when J-Bolt referred to Judith Moose as his publicist.

Now he publicly admits that their relationship was terminated in 2000 or 2001. She also says their professional relationship ended around that time. The only thing she retracted was the implied negative attitude toward Fisher in the earlier post. Both participants agree that she has not represented him for at least five years. Yet Fisher claimed her as his publicist two years ago.

That means that it is a fact, admitted by Jim Fisher himself in his frothing ALL CAPS rant at comicon.com, that he lied about her representing him, and he did so for three years.

You are defending a chronic and habitual liar.

[MacQuarrie]

You poor bastard. I woudln't wish living in LA on my worst enemy. :p

As far as I know, he's not banned.

[EdContradictory]

Which is an insane thing to do.

Which means that OMAR is either insane or a troll of the highest order getting weird-ass jollies off of this. Which, I should also mention, would be insane.

[OMAR]

"I was there in 2004 when J-Bolt referred to Judith Moose as his publicist."

In an online statement or in person? I'd like to see some evidence of that happening (and that it wasn't a reference to their past business relationship). If it's in the present tense, and was a statement made in 2004, then by all means let's see it in it's original context.

[Brandon Hanvey]

As far as I know, he's not banned.

There is no J-Bolt account in the current system. And I do not believe he was ever banned on the last forum set-up.

Of course it was online. I've only dealt with Fisher online and on the phone.

You might find evidence via the Wayback machine, but I doubt it. Given that Fisher can't keep a domain name or website active for more than about six months at a time, and given that he completely wipes and restarts his website about every 3 or 4 years (whenever he gets caught in enough lies to have to start over), and given that he had had all the posts at IMDB wiped numerous times, you'll have a hard time finding that evidence.

Though Gail mentioned it in one of the earlier posts on Comicon.com. You could look over there for her comment.

[MacQuarrie]

Really? From the beginning of this thread (Gail saying "Well, looks like the fun is over.") I assumed he was banned. Then again I didn't exactly do... any research on it. ;)
She was referring to one of the many times Fisher's website was suspended or deactivated, most likely due to non-payment.

Folks...
As everybody knows, I ABSOLUTELY ABHORE continuing any conversation which entails the known bashers of me, my company, and the projects involved with both. But, once or twice a year, I'll check on their rantings, especially in their comic book resources bulletin boards, to see what their latest harrassments are.
What I've found, as of today, will show everybody just how much these people desire to strike against me and everything involved with me. This is directly connected with IMDb because they have plotted how to harrass me through this site. If you go to http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=2784&page=150 and look near the bottom of that page of posts, you'll find a post from one of their ilk, named "OzBat!" This is what that post entails, concerning their libelous and untrue posts they've placed here, on IMDb, involving me and the removal of those posts by IMDb: "I'd keep reposting it exactly as is, every single day. Just to piss him off. OzBat!" When you read the posts that follow in the pages afterwards, you'll see how the other members give kudos to OzBat! for such an idea.
Now, would you also like to see what I've had to endure (as well as you, on IMDb) from these people for far too long, now? Start from page 1 and read all the way through the 169 pages of posts (to date so far, anyway, as I'm sure there will be even more after this IMDb post from me) and you'll see just what I've been forced to endure and ignore, as of late.
Once again, the only reason I'm even mentioning them again now is so that everybody can finally see what's been going on and maybe the bashers can get lost once and for all. On the same note, I'm sure that IMDb will be reading this post and make their own judgements on the situation, especially if any of the bashers attempt to have this post removed, whereas it exposes them for what they truly are, in THEIR OWN WORDS.
I apologize for breaking my own rule of not talking about these miscreants, but this info needed to be outed. I'll now go back to ignoring this sort of thing and let all of you be the judge. If there's something you want to know about firsthand, I'm welcome to relevant/intelligent questions in my e-mail.
Thanks for everyone's support,

Let's see that post that J-Bolt is so worked up over:

I have no association with any other comic publishing companies. Back in 1996, I worked for Electric Crayon, a now-defunct company that colored comics for Marvel, DC, Image, Wildstorm, Verotik and others, but that was a long time ago. I have associations with a lot of freelancers, but not any companies.

Your ignorance is showing. A "URL" is the address of a web page. "http://www.lightningboltentertainment.com" is a URL. Nobody can access your site by using a different URL.

You mean "ISP" (Internet Service Provider) or "IP Address" (Internet Protocol), neither of which I have ever done. I've never changed my ISP just to avoid a ban. I've been with Earthlink since 1995, and have not installed any "trial disks" or used any other service in all that time.

I did post from my office (my own office, not my employer's, back when I was freelancing), from my brother-in-law's shop (when I was helping him there), and from a couple of other computers (with the owner's knowledge). Not to avoid your ban, just because they happened to be the computers I was using at the time. I certainly never made any trips to the library to avoid your ban. Why would I when there are all those proxy services out there?

Comicon was mocking you. Making fun of you. The "Notoriety Award" was an insult. Notoriety is generally BAD publicity, not good.

You have no idea what you are talking about. "Pro bono" means "for the public good." It doesn't mean "taxpayer funded." A "pro bono" attorney is a volunteer. All it means is that I didn't pay for my attorney's services. If you were educated, you would know that.

You do recognize that this sentence is contradictory? Either you've always delivered on your promises, or you haven't been able to meet deadlines. It can't be both.

Now, I've been leaving you alone. I haven't posted any of your hilarious stuff on Monkey Spit, haven't described your frothing breakdown at IMDB. Haven't posted on the J-Bolt forum at IMDB. How come you're still going after me? I was not in any way involved in putting up the J-Bolted site; I found out about it at the same time you did.

So how about you knock it off? Remove my name from your site.

By the way, all the cast information about Bombshell is still on your site, under "In Production." And Jackson Bostwick thinks you're nuts.

Best,

Man, nobody is better at making J-Bolt look like a dumbass than J-Bolt himself. Let's give the guy a hand.

[kcarroll]

The funny thing is that I was the final basher to leave the IMDb forum in April. I think the last thing I asked about was how he made money. So, jbolt, if you're reading, and I'm pretty sure you are, perhaps you might be able to explain why your legions of fans haven't returned to that forum? As far as I know, the bashers from this forum have pretty much been confined to one thread in one forum for several months. How has that impeded your progress on the movie and comics?

oh, and i think OMAR is just winding you guys up. i wasn't here for the first round of jbolt, but i was here for the second coming, and i am aware of all the fabrications and ridiculous claims. there's no point in arguing it with OMAR. He is simply going to remain contrarian. It still keeps the thread lively, and i do love me some jbolt news.

The one small problem with using my post as proof of Libel, is that by applying any small amount of reading comprehension you should have been able to quickly work out that I was replying to another posters' report that you insisted on deleting ANY post of theirs from those boards, that didn't agree with you. Particularly the ones with the truth. And helpful suggestions for how to update your news page. You know, the kinds of suggestions that help you out, so that YOU weren't liable for libel. Knowing your predeliction for deletions, I was urging him to repost it, daily if need be, so that you finally got the hint.

Just saying hello.

When are we going to see your finished products, as in comic and movie projects ?

Do you still wear " the mask " and do you tie up your mullet into a bun or ponytail when you do business deals ?

[OzBat!]

They were "nearing a critical juncture" four years ago, too. And for LBC fans everywhere, could you please define "everywhere"? 'Cause all the fans we know about are right here on this board. We're the best publicity he's ever had. IF he ever gets anything made, even if it's an Ed Wood direct to video special, you can GUARANTEE that the regulars on this thread will fight each other for spots in the line to purchase a copy.

Let's take this apart, shall we?

On behalf of LBC fans everywhere
How can there possibly be fans of a comic that has never been published? We've seen a few one- and two-page introductions to various characters, but nothing more than that, certainly not enough to base any kind of fandom on. But what the hell, let's go with it. Where are these fans? There was a rumor that somebody started a "fan site" in Japan, but that turned out, if I recall correctly, to be merely a Japanese tanslation of the IMDB listing for Bombshell, generated automatically by a bot. So where are all these fans? Practically every post ever seen on the old Bravenet forums was one of us in disguise having conversations with ourselves.

please knock it off with the wasting of J-Bolt's time with foolish or impertinent questions.
This is a logical impossibility. Nobody can waste anybody else's time without that person's cooperation. Fisher doesn't have to read the foolish questions, and he doesn't have to respond to them. He could ignore us quite easily. I could go post impertinent and foolish questions for George Lucas, Bruce Springsteen, Dick Cheney or Bill Gates, and I certainly would not expect them to answer or even read them. If Jim Fisher is such a big wheel with "dozens" of employees, why not let them answer the questions? Or better yet, why not let the legions of LBC fans do so?

It only serves to distract him from his various creative endeavors
And what endeavors would those be? His site sat neglected and unchanged for over a year, listing a dead actor as part of his cast for several months. No new comics pages, no new content at all, nothing to justify anybody's subscription to the site. One can only assume that the "creative endeavors" to which you refer involve finding gold in EverQuest.

and at a time when, according to his recent posts, preparations for the movie seem to be nearing a critical juncture.
Critical? Given to hyperbole, are we? What possible "critical juncture" could he be approaching?

Preparations for this movie are in exactly the same place they were back when he announced that its world premiere would be on February 14, 2003. In fact, movie preparations are at exactly the same place they were when he first showed up on YABS trying to con people into buying subscriptions to the website that currently has pretty much the same amount of content it had then. If anyone had been dumb enough to sign on back then, they would have gotten exactly nothing for their money.

Now, given that you seem to have a knack for throwing away money, let me ask you a couple of questions, Omar:

1. Are you a subscriber to the LBE premium site?

2. If yes, did you pay for your membership?

[Sabrinaset]

One can only assume that the "creative endeavors" to which you refer involve finding gold in EverQuest.

Ed - I'm not joking, several comments J-Bolt has made gave me the impression that things are really starting take off. I don't have a specific quote though. It may just have been my impression, but he seemed optimistic.

MacQuarrie - I must confess that I've never been a paid subscriber to the LBC/LBE sites. I've never made a secret of my frustration with the lack of LBC material, including an online presence. I've seen the ashcan and so forth without paying, through links that were posted when J-Bolt first came on the scene - in retrospect it seems someone had circumvented his site's security, though I don't know how and wasn't concious of such a fraud at the time.

Um, well, see... the thing is, his site had no security. Apparently none of his expert web designers knew how to install a simple htaccess password. They left the directory containing those pages completely accessible to anyone who wanted to go to it.

Looking at pages in an unprotected directory is not fraud, even if the site owner says not to. If it's publicly accessible, it's public.

Of course, if Fisher wasn't so busy pretending to have a huge staff and offices, any of a half-dozen people here would have gladly helped him protect his files. But that would have required him to admit his ignrance, and that doesn't happen.

Rule of Holes.

[Gail Simone]

Tom, I said:

"I wonder how many more lies we've been told about J-Bolt's relationships with others in Hollywood."

You countered with:
"Um...Judith A. Moose is not in Hollywood. She has a PR firm running out of Nevada."

And I restated that she is in Hollywood, providing an admittedly broken link to a statement about how she moved there in 2004.

Really wouldn't have been any big deal if you'd acknowledged your error, or even just ignored it. But instead you had to "prove" me wrong.

Then, in the space of 5 minutes, Gail made 3 posts. One calling me an idiot. Another saying I looked like a moron. And a third saying that I'm a Goddamn dork with my head up my ass (Gee, I wonder if she had some pent up hostility that she was waiting for an excuse to vent?). All based on the "fact" that I had been "proven" wrong on one small factual matter.

Now she may believe all those things about me, and maybe you all do to. But regardless of that, the truth is I was right to refer to Judith Moose as someone in Hollywood, Tom was wrong to correct me, and it's clear none of you will ever admit that.

Is it bizzare and pathetic that we're going back and forth over this minor point? Sure, this whole thread's an exercise in pathetic weirdness. But I didn't start that arguement over her location, and I was right in my position.

All the personal insults in the world can't change that.


Or how about, "Gee, maybe you ARE a complete ass, Omar."

I stuck up for you for a long time, but who's kidding who here? Your SOLE claim to fame is as a troll jerk of many years standing. You post endlessly and obsessively about your OWN little cadre of pro targets.

You're a liar and a hypocrite.

[Gail Simone]

Well, we know he's done some work at some point, given the ashcan. But if you're saying - or if Tom is - that he could have done more, that he hasn't done enough recently, I won't dispute that. He's said the movie takes up most of his time. Obviously there is no finished movie to judge, yet, but I join those who wish he'd spend more time at the drawing board.

Ed - I'm not joking, several comments J-Bolt has made gave me the impression that things are really starting take off. I don't have a specific quote though. It may just have been my impression, but he seemed optimistic.


he always seems optimistic because he's scamming people. He's never created a comic and no one is interested in his movie.

If he had serious movie stuff going... wouldn't it be on AICN? or LITG? or Newsarama?

I mean Zoom Suit has been all over the place... So has Hack/Slash.

[OMAR]

Well we've been given an explanation for the current lack of pre-production publicity and buzz... he made his initial announcements regarding the movie too soon. The bashers were able to disrupt his plans by prematurely contacting interested parties and creating the impression that there was a certain crazed, negative movement against the Bombshell movie, turning those parties off. So I'd expect to see a very low publicity profile until the movie is finished.

I'm not familiar with either of the movies you cite so I can't respond to that point. I've never heard of them, but like so many comics fans I've heard of Bombshell and LBC, so what does that tell you?

I think the best thing to do now is simply wait. Either there will be a movie or there won't; we can debate it's merits once we've all had a chance to veiw it in our local theaters on the opening weekend. Of course by then the bashers will have changed their argument to whether the opening box office is on the level of Spider-Man or X-Men movies, but let's keep in mind that those properties have a built-in audience.

Getting the right actors will make all the difference, especially if, as I hope, J-Bolt ends up directing the picture instead of trusting someone else to translate his unique vision.

[Red Jack]

I have never seen the absense of something, this case a product, produce so much interest. Well, Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears come close but at least they're nice to look at.

Nothing against "J Bolt" as a person, i don't know him, but I think Gail was generous at the beginning with her offer.

I don't beleive this guy has the skills necessary to create a compelling comic book either scriptwise or artwise. It's clear he doesn't have the business sense to even produce work in the POD format, which would save him lots of cash and, at the very least, keep his product and therefore his copyrights and trademarks active.

After this last post of Omar's I'm convinced he is just having fun. There's no way that any objective observer could slog through the mountain of J-Bolt data (AMAZING. Like a singularity. Just amazing) and come away with any more than a head-shaking bewilderment at the size of this guy's clacky brass balls. Omar isn't stupid and I don't beleive he's J Bolt so I can only conclude he's taking the piss.

This irritates me, I have to say.

I've been busting my ass for the last six months to publicize and put hard copies of my book into the hands of fans and reviewers. I won't get into the details but getting our preview book to SDCC involved a lot more thn just sending files to Quebecor and waiting for delivery. There were many many abrupt and unforseen roadblocks that had to be overcome or avoided just to get the convention issue ready in time.

And we did it. Just as the stack of other creative entities, large and small, managed to do it. It ain't easy for the little guy but we do it anyway. We put in the work and, trust me, there's no derailing this train with sniping. Zero chance. No negative feedback will deter me from completing this project. The answer to anyone who tries to start static is "Yeah? here's my book. Now what do you have to say?"

Product. output. Work.

Which is, from what I've been able to glean, the opposite of what J-Bolt has created.

So I'm a bit offended by this whole J-Bolt thing, now that I've taken its measure. And, aside from that basic irritation, I'm left with big fat stack of "who gives a shit?"

There are actual creators doing actual work and making incremental headway due exclusively to that work. They are, in short, playing it straight. J Bolt and any support of him, however spurious it may be, is affronting to all of us.

Put a fork in him, please.

Have they ever been turned down by Steven Spielburg just because he doesn't have time? Have they been in Who's Who an unprecedented two years in a row?!? They think they're so hot, but you know what? They're not! :mad:
I'm not familiar with either of the movies you cite so I can't respond to that point. I've never heard of them, but like so many comics fans I've heard of Bombshell and LBC, so what does that tell you?Yeah, that's all we hear about! I wish I could find out what's going on with Superman or the X-Men, but all anyone wants to talk about is Bombshell this and LBC that. (We don't even bother to use the company's name, we just call it 'LBC' for short.) I suppose it's for the best. Anything else would just pale by comparison to Bombshell.
I think the best thing to do now is simply wait. Either there will be a movie or there won't; we can debate it's [sic] merits once we've all had a chance to veiw [sic] it in our local theaters on the opening weekend. Of course by then the bashers will have changed their argument to whether the opening box office is on the level of Spider-Man or X-Men movies, but let's keep in mind that those properties have a built-in audience.That's why I like you, OMAR. You're always thinking ahead. Now when the bashers (:mad:) change their argument, we're ready! 'Spider-Man and the X-Men have built-in audiences!' we'll say. Oh, if only there were some way for J-Bolt to get the word out. I really need to research the X-Men and see how they did it. (I wonder if Superman would work too. What with the current movie out it might be a little bit easier to find early stage marketing materials.)
Getting the right actors will make all the difference, especially if, as I hope, J-Bolt ends up directing the picture instead of trusting someone else to translate his unique vision.That's such an awesome idea! No one shares J-Bolt's unique vision, you know. Others (like Sable or Steven Spielburg) might try, but J-Bolt's vision is absolutely unique. You might even say it's ominously unique.

[Gail Simone]

Well we've been given an explanation for the current lack of pre-production publicity and buzz... he made his initial announcements regarding the movie too soon. The bashers were able to disrupt his plans by prematurely contacting interested parties and creating the impression that there was a certain crazed, negative movement against the Bombshell movie, turning those parties off. So I'd expect to see a very low publicity profile until the movie is finished.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too far, Omar.

[howyadoin]

But...but Bombshell will have a built in audience as well. LEGIONS of them.J-Bolt won't be paying for a ticket, though. So everything rests on OMAR's shoulders in terms of profit.

[Gail Simone]

I have never seen the absense of something, this case a product, produce so much interest. Well, Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears come close but at least they're nice to look at.

Nothing against "J Bolt" as a person, i don't know him, but I think Gail was generous at the beginning with her offer.

I don't beleive this guy has the skills necessary to create a compelling comic book either scriptwise or artwise. It's clear he doesn't have the business sense to even produce work in the POD format, which would save him lots of cash and, at the very least, keep his product and therefore his copyrights and trademarks active.

After this last post of Omar's I'm convinced he is just having fun. There's no way that any objective observer could slog through the mountain of J-Bolt data (AMAZING. Like a singularity. Just amazing) and come away with any more than a head-shaking bewilderment at the size of this guy's clacky brass balls. Omar isn't stupid and I don't beleive he's J Bolt so I can only conclude he's taking the piss.

This irritates me, I have to say.

I've been busting my ass for the last six months to publicize and put hard copies of my book into the hands of fans and reviewers. I won't get into the details but getting our preview book to SDCC involved a lot more thn just sending files to Quebecor and waiting for delivery. There were many many abrupt and unforseen roadblocks that had to be overcome or avoided just to get the convention issue ready in time.

And we did it. Just as the stack of other creative entities, large and small, managed to do it. It ain't easy for the little guy but we do it anyway. We put in the work and, trust me, there's no derailing this train with sniping. Zero chance. No negative feedback will deter me from completing this project. The answer to anyone who tries to start static is "Yeah? here's my book. Now what do you have to say?"

Product. output. Work.

Which is, from what I've been able to glean, the opposite of what J-Bolt has created.

So I'm a bit offended by this whole J-Bolt thing, now that I've taken its measure. And, aside from that basic irritation, I'm left with big fat stack of "who gives a shit?"

There are actual creators doing actual work and making incremental headway due exclusively to that work. They are, in short, playing it straight. J Bolt and any support of him, however spurious it may be, is affronting to all of us.

Put a fork in him, please.



The people (including myself) who seem the most offended by J-Bolt's idea that hype is as good as production are people who actually HAVE busted their rear ends to produce books. As I've said, I wrote more comics in the last two weeks than J-bolt has in five years.

Gail

[Cam63]

Have you ever tried writing with a crayon in your mouth while straitjacketed and strapped to a gurney ?

[Lubichev]

I think I saw a movie about that.

I think WhiteRose played a nurse.

[Wingnut]

J-Bolt won't be paying for a ticket, though. So everything rests on OMAR's shoulders in terms of profit.

I figured OMAR would be J-Bolt's date to the premier being held in J-Bolt's mom's basement, so he wouldn't actually charge OMAR.

Then again, J-Bolt probably is a stickler for box-office accuracy, so he probably would charge OMAR.

[Wingnut]

Just a head's up. J-bolt, in one of his new posts, (w/i the last hour or two), has admitted that his name has been, "exposed".

The main reason is because the original shades were 1 lense that went across my eyes, and the press said they resembled a mask... so, the name stuck. Before you ask why I even wear them at all, even now that my real name has been exposed? Because a: it was an image I came up with when I created the J-Bolt name (as other public personalities create their own certain "look" with similar accessories or other things, which makes their appearance more individual than others); and b: when I first started my publicity, under my real name, no particular individual look, etc., I couldn't go anywhere in public without being asked for my autograph. Since I never turn down someone who wants my autograph, yet also want to be able to have privacy in public for myself and my family, I took advantage of a year-long hiatus for the public to forget what I look like and created the J-Bolt image. From that point on, even though I kinda' stand out as a tall, long-haired, slender guy, I don't get recognized as J-Bolt unless I'm wearing my signature red & black with the "mask," allowing me to have my privacy whenever I desire it.

It wouldn't be a shock to me if after reading this here that he will go back and edit the remarks, but that's o.k. The original has already been saved.

Now, if he had said, all that time ago, that he would not confirm or deny what his name was, but he just chose to go by a stage name, he'd probably have received little guff over it. The only reason he has been given such grief was due to his continual temper tantrums and blowing of mental gaskets over INSISTING his name wasn't Jim Fisher.

He continues the spewing of his delusion that he is/was some type of celebrity.

He reminds me of a guy who went to my university. This guy was a clinically confirmed whacko. (I know this, because he kept trying to sue the Social Security Administration to take back their assessment of him, saying they made it up to provide work for their caseworkers.) The guy was harmless, and actually intelligent, but had no grasp on reality and how to interact with the world. Now, it was true that there was an inordinate number of people on campus, and in the town in general, who knew who this guy was, but he was NO CELEBRITY. He was one of the few real town crack-pots, and that's the only notoriety he had. J-Bolt mistakes people probably knowing him to be the town crack-pot of Parumph, and being a, "Celebrity".

My oath, I cheated !

[Mike Smash!]

J-Bolt had people asking for his autograph? For doing what?

Seems to me that J-Bolt's goal in life is not to make comic books, but to be a comic book creator. I knew a lot of people like this when I used to be a film student. People who didn't want to do the work, but just wanted to be a filmmaker, with all of the prestige (ha!) that goes with it and like J-Bolt were more interesting in the parsley than in the meal -- ie J-Bolt putting more effort into promoting a product that doesn't exist and creating merchandise for characters that no one has ever heard of or read...

I knew an actor like this who I briefly worked on a TV pilot with. A friend and I were Executive Producers and Director/Head Writer, respectively on a project that never really went anywhere. I had written 8 drafts of a pilot script and we'd cast it and had gotten involved (and negotiated full creative control) from a guy named Raphael Carlo -- and yes, he's just as big of a worthless prick as his name implies, think J-Bolt meets Kato Kaelin.

The fact that he'd gotten myself and my friend -- people without credits to our name and both still in film school -- for the job should have been the first sign that this guy wasn't serious. He was more interested in marketing comic books spin offs and merchandise and other bullshit for a project that was never filmed or ever got past the initial rehearsals, because Raphael didn't want to act. He wanted to be an actor.

So if J-Bolt wanted to make comics, he'd make comics. He wouldn't dick around with posters and bullshit promotional material or pitch a movie adaption of a source that doesn't exist. If he wanted to write and draw comics, he'd just do it... the same way that other comic creators, whether famous or not, just do it.

He'd draw his ass off and self publish and go to Cons and pitch his stuff to creators and potential fans. He'd keep at it and get better with each attempt.

But he doesn't do that. Because he doesn't want to make comics. He just wants to be a comic book creator.

PROVE IT.

Who are these "bashers"? What "interested parties" did they contact? How did they "create the impression that there was a certain crazed, negative movement against the Bombshell movie"?

Gail and I are the two people specifically named as "bashers" by Jim Fisher in the various places that he posts, and I'm sick of it.

Either prove this accusation or retract it. Don't give me any chickenshit weasel-words about how you aren't referring to me; you're referring to SOMEBODY, and if you can't prove it, you are accusing those people unfairly and falsely.

It costs about $20 to file a lawsuit in small claims court; thanks to you, I can do that and still come out $8 to the good. Once I file that suit against you for libel, I can subpoena CBR and Newsarama for whatever contact information they have on file for you. From there I can subpoena your ISP to give up your home address and contact information. I can only collect up to $5000 from you, but I can make you come to California to fight it or you lose by default. When that happens, I'll slap a lein on everything you own.

I'm dead serious. You proved you're a man of your word; I advise you to take me at mine. If you can produce any solid evidence for the claim quoted above, do so immediately. If you cannot, retract and apologize immediately.

Enough is frigging enough. Put up or shut up.

I'd be willing to testify, Jim.

I'm also curious. How can one adapt a movie from a comic book that's never been published?

Is Jim Fisher disguised as J-Bolt, or is it J-Bolt disguised as Jim Fisher?

Note to J-Bolt: Don't tell people that pages of website content is still up (!members only!) when you have a history of not protecting said content.

Note to J-Bolt #2: When you do leave pages up and don't intend to make them public, at least get creative with the name to throw them bashers off the trail. Something more imaginative than, say, 'home.html'.

Aaaand here's a clip on the sad death of J-Bolt's close personal friend Pat Morita. (I think he means 'production'.)
As we're sure everybody knows, early this year, the World lost a special friend with the passing of Pat Morita. Though Pat was known for so many roles and characters, everybody was anxious for him to portray Police Negotiator Guy Ito in the BombShell movie. J-Bolt wrote the role especially for him, as they had been friends even before the film project went into fruition.

I didn't make any claim at all. I have no evidence of any such goings on, and have never claimed to. We were discussing the lack of publicity for the Bombshell movie, and I stated that we've been given an explanation for why that is. Is it true, is it accurate? I've never claimed to know.

I do know that J-Bolt has publicly labeled the entire Warren Ellis Forum and the YABS forum as "bashers", on several occasions. I apologize to anyone from those forums who feels unfairly maligned by my repeating J-Bolt's story here. I in no way meant to suggest that any one of those thousands of people were the specific individuals who made such phone calls, or that I have any first-hand knowledge that such activities actually took place.

[OMAR]

So... "J-Bolt" is a jerk who won't sign autographs?

In the post you quoted, he says he never turns anyone down who asks for an autograph.

[EdContradictory]

In the post you quoted, he says he never turns anyone down who asks for an autograph.
No. He said he couldn't turn anyone down as "Jim Fisher". Then he says he went on to create the J-Bolt persona and... oh, wait a minute... THERE'S NO POINT IN DISCUSSING ANY OF THIS WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE AN INSANE PERSON.

[OMAR]

Ed, you're right, he created the "persona" so that he wouldn't be constantly asked for autographs. But that's not the same as saying he "won't sign autographs" - he says he never refuses to sign.

Call me crazy (again), but I think when most people hear the phrase he "won't sign autographs" they get the impression that he has at some point been asked for an autograph and refused to sign.

And, yes, I guess maybe I really am insane, but can you at least see the point I'm trying to make? I don't know if he signs autographs, I don't know if he's even ever been asked for an autograph, I'm just reading what he said and disagreeing with your analysis.

The only people who have ever asked Fisher for his "autograph" are the UPS driver, the cop who wrote him a ticket and the clerk at the comic shop that one time he used his credit card.

People have as much reason to ask him for his autograph as they do you or me.

[MacQuarrie]

I didn't make any claim at all. I have no evidence of any such goings on, and have never claimed to. We were discussing the lack of publicity for the Bombshell movie, and I stated that we've been given an explanation for why that is. Is it true, is it accurate? I've never claimed to know.

Where do you say "J-Bolt says..."?

You said "The bashers were able to disrupt his plans ..." stated as fact, not opinion, and stated as your claim, not J-Bolt's. You said it, you own it, and you will be held responsible for YOUR words.

You've been caught now. The next time you make an unsubstantiated claim like this, I bring out the big guns. Drop this line of argument now.
