J-Bolt News

[Screwtape]

Actually, syphillis might explain a few things. Like the insanity...No good. Syphillis is sexually transmitted.

[Cream Filled Taco]

Woohoo! J-Bolt wrote a story about me:

"By the way, we found an audio tape of your birth. I'll play it for you:
Doctor: Mr. and Mrs. Delirium, you have a brand, new, baby....CRAP! I dropped him. Don't worry... I'll just... <whispering> Nurse, stop stepping on his head, Dammittall!
Nurse <whispering>: Sorry, Doctor... it's just... so...BULBOUS. I think I have him...OOPS! I kicked it...I mean HIM... it's that... bulbous head.
You: WWHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE >ffrrrrrrtttt!<
Doctor: AH! I've got him! Here you go, Mr. and...oh, BLAST! He's as slippery as a SNAKE! NURSE, STOP KICKING HIS HEAD!
Nurse <giggling>: But, Doctor...it's like playing Soccer or something like it!
You: >ffrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttt!<
Doctor: THERE! I volleyed... I mean... I caught him! Here you go! You all look so PERFECT for each other! Quick turn the dictophone off.
>click!<"

[Screwtape]

J-Bolt WROTE something?

Spack, I owe you twenty bucks.

Yeah , I notice he's resorted to making fun of you Instead of being civil and answering questions. He calls all the posters who do take the time to post to him Jesters. Its little wonder no one respects him.

Wow....and he wants to make a Court Case out of this.

[palaeomerus]

Crap! Roquefort beat me to the "it's better than the ashcan" joke.

BTW he's not just threatening a criminal/civil/whatever the judge decides legal action...he's thinking of making it a class action case(clearly he doesn;t understand the term) so you's all best get yer habeus corpi a'ready fer a rumble.

[Cream Filled Taco]

Oh, and he's also threatening a class action lawsuit against all of us. Who wants to tell him he's got it backwards? I will, if nobody else steps up.

[Cream Filled Taco]

J-Bolt WROTE something?

Spack, I owe you twenty bucks.


I'll need it, as he'll probably sue me for copyright infringement since I reposted his little story.

[PatrickG]

Anyone think we could somehow convince him to write Cartoon Network and ask for their lawyer Harvey Birdman?

I may just see if I can talk him into it...

[Dreadstar]

It's sad... this is so much better than the script of When lightning strikes.


I agree, that actually has a bit of humor in it.

Wow.

[palaeomerus]

You shouldn't laugh at him because now he'll sue the whole internet and they'll all have to go to jail because that's the law. And plus he can probably control an army of rats. You ever think of that?

[PatrickG]

Isn't that his legal team?

Oh. Wait. Isn't that ANY legal team? *

* Excluding the CDLDF --- Ed.

[palaeomerus]

I'm not saying that they'd be elite high quality rats. Not the rats of NIMH or anything respectable like the rats of Redwall. No these would be the greasy, yellow toothed, scaly, fat, plague carrying, sewer rats with the long scabby tales and the black, beady, souless, little rat eyes...thousands of them moving towards you like some hellish living carpet of crawling hungry death....

Paralegals maybe.

[Cam63]

It's OK if the rats are wearing Armani.

[OzBat!]

Hey, I WANT to be included in the class action! But only if he pays for my international flight!

Think we can get the case booked for just after the San Diego comicon?

I read what Bolt said about you and Mac... absolutely revolting indeed.

[J. Roberts]

Everyone at the JBolted forum is either someone from here acting like a deranged J-Bolt fanboy, or else J-Bolt himself, right? Right? You can't get rabid fans just by putting out a single comic that looks like rejects from Champions fan art, right?

no those are all 100% genuine J-Bolt groupies ;)

[Crowley]

how awesome would it be if more and more fans joined and then suddenly it all went silent.

[sk716]

Hard to believe, yes. But true nonetheless.

:D

[Cream Filled Taco]

Regardless of who the fans really are, J-Bolt believes in it 100%. His ego and mental state doesn't allow any other conclusion.

[J. Roberts]

I just can't fathom it. I mean, fans of what? A single issue of a comic featuring the cliched, overwrought origins of some of the most uninspiring characters ever seen in comicdom? I mean, Wolff? A character named after a real word but with a not-so-clever misspelling? Geez, is it 1994 again?

I'm actually veeeeeery tempted to go into full-blown rabid J-bolt fanboy mode on the Jbolted forums just to see how far I can push it. I figure I'll smack my head against the screen every time I start a sentence, just to give myself a little daze and screw up my grammar a little. And I'll do all my typing with a good, thick pair of oven mitts, just to get those authentic J-Bolt fanboy typos. I've already made a few posts, though, so my previous good spelling would probably spoil it.

Those forums (both IMDB and J-Bolted) are like a train wreck. I know I shouldn't look. I know by craning my neck I'm just going to see something I'll regret, but by God, I just can't resist.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Its a train wreck we can't stop watching really. Why do we care ? Maybe because he says or does something that makes us laugh and we respond to It. I personally have had only that 1 Interaction with the guy and thats all I care for.

I think the two boards are quite different in tone. The IMDB board has gone into sad head shaking mode. J-Bolted, however, is full of nutty goodness. I think it can be enjoyed, regardless of if you think the posters are genuine or not.

Im glad to say that my last couple of post have been driving j-bolt a bit nuts. :D

Oh, yeah? Get ready for the comic, movie, novel, billboard, placemat, and wallpaper debut of.....CAYNINE! Once, just an ordinary man who dreamed of no more than his ordinary life. Then one day, crossing the street, he forgot to look both ways!! Oh no! Look, out, ordinary guy! He was hit by a truck carrying vats of dog blood--irradiationed dog blood! The impact flew him up, up , up, into the air and finally ... several panels later....into a vat of dog bloood just as a lightniening bolt struck! ZAAM! NOw, when night comes, an ominous transformation takes over, and he puts on his pants and becomes--CAYNINE!

I like the posters who are playing the straight men--asking seemingly innocent, honest questions that you would ask if you knew none of the backstory of J-Bolt and the Bombshell fiasco. It's sort of fascinating to see how their legitimate questions get ignored and avoided.

Yeah the Innocent posters really got shit on . One up and quit who seemed to really give the guy a fair shake. He wished him luck but pretty much didn't take kindly to the "Jesters " line.

Thats what gets me though. The ones who do treat him with some respect he Ignores and calls them names. Reading Imdb he seems to do that a lot.

[TCJohnson]

And yet he says he likes me.....ah well.

I hope he does go with a class action law suit. We can have a party afterwards! It can be our own convention!

Yep, if you have the slightest questioning tone, he's going to assume you're part of the basher entity. He thinks he's chopped off the head (MacQ) of the bash body, and he's having a blast spitting on the corpse (everyone else). I believe that's why he's just defaulting to rude remarks now. He's having fun, because he thinks he's won. I can't wait until he talks to a lawyer.

[TCJohnson]

I don't get it...I told him he is deranged and needs serious psychological help, and that he was a complete ass for speaking that way to a lady. And he still likes me. What the flying hell?

[Cream Filled Taco]

I'll tell ya one thing, J-Bolt has made the last three days much more fun for me. I've been off from work taking care of a flu invested household, washing towels and blankets, and changing diapers constantly. But good ol' J-Bolt gave me something fun to read all the way through! Thanks, ya big loon!

[Michael P]

For no particular reason, I read through the cast list for "Bombshell." Found this:

"Pat Morita .... Police Negotiator Guy Ito"

Says it all, doesn't it?

Let me just say, that you have played the wrong game with the wrong person.

I posted to this board because I ran across the name 'Bombshell', which is a character I had drawn for tv executive Craig Nevious. After the help of some of your posters, I was given the link to your ludicrous website which was non-functioning and discovered your character and your artwork WERE NOT mine and not part of any agreement I have ever entered into.

You are very unprofessional and your posts are frankly rediculous. If there are actually people in this world that would waste their time looking at your load of worthless unpublished and unproduced material, so be it, but do not ever implicate anyone that actually has a career in your endeavors or you will most definitely be pursued to the fullest extent for slander.

So to end your game, keep this fact in your mind , 'neighbor' because as I said, I have never entered, pursued or been involved in any sort of agreement with you through email or otherwise, and I doubt there is any truth that anyone else has either.

Who Is this ?

[Crowley]

J-bolted just got stranger too...

[Cream Filled Taco]

Who Is this ?

No idea. He only posted once before, asking for a link to J-Bolt's site for legal reasons. If I'm reading it right, he's saying he has the rights to the character. Maybe I'm wrong. Anybody else have a different take?

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Seems likely.

[Pamela Jarvinen]

you were not reading the post correctly on IMDb.

whoever J-Bolt is, wrote a ludicrous post about some sort of agreement being entered on a contract for work... non-factual/fictional in regards to jarvinenk, after jarvinenk posted asking for details about the comic and movie.

I posted to this board way back, further asking for details about the character Bombshell, because my husband had worked on story boards for a character by that name in 2000 and 2001. All the links that pointed to the LightningBolt website were non-functioning at the time, so I asked for help in locating some more data on the Bombshell character. Another poster, I believe 'McQuarrie' actually got me a photo reference from the CafePress website, which determined that this was not the same Bombshell character Kirk had worked on.

Whatever this J-Bolt's game is, we do not want to be implicated in anything that is fraudulent and not serious work being published. Kirk is a professional artist with a long line of credits to his name. The actors on the IMDb, are also professionals who deserve not to have their name slandered into some false light if they are not involved in it. The last post on IMDb was to insure that "J-Bolt" considers that the lives he is involving need to be as imaginary as the characters he creates or he will risk being prosecuted

All is good fun, till the joke is put on someone innocent with something to actually lose.

[abbas.khan]

kirk jarvinen is one of my favourite artists.

remember that x-factor issue he did in 91. it was sweet. he's drawn one of the best archangels i've ever seen.

please tell him that mrs. jarvinen.

[Kyuubi]

I have some very important information to share with you all.





This afternoon, behind closed doors, Gail Simone and Jim "J-Bolt" Fischer settled their differences without the need for a court case. They both agreed to settle in a very calm, and orderly manner. How did they you ask?





DANCE OFF MOTHERF***ERS!

http://fl.cl/puchiko/dance.gif

GO GAIL, GO GAIL, GO!


Now J-Bolt, DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT!

http://www.sonic-gif.com/images/img-ag/eggman/a_egg/heureu/dance.gif

THAT WAS WEAK SON, THE WINNER: GAIL 'DANCEMASTER' SIMONE!



and J-Bolt: YOU GOT SERVED!

That is all.

[abbas.khan]

what a one sided contest!

everyone knows j-bolt's mask prevents him from dancing properly. as much as it helps him in his endeavours as a writer/artist/prawn star, its not meant for dancing.

while bolt tries to keep on his mask... gail kept on doing her fox trot.

lets see a more fair contest - like razor yahtzee!

[the4thpip]

By the way, if the jbolted site is a cruel joke on him (which I assume it is), now might not be a good time for its authors to reveal the truth. That guy's unhinged enough as it is.

J-Bolt is an artist, a writer, a humanitarian, a filmmaker, and an actor.

:D

The explosive premiere of the comic that will change the comic book world FOREVER, When Lightning Strikes #0 is the greatest beginning to a comic book ever. The fight between good and evil has never been portrayed in such an amazing way. WLS #0 is not only a visual treat for the eyes, but the most thought provoking comic book ever written. I eagerly wait for more, but for now, reading this masterpiece over and over again keeps me satisfied.

:p :p :D

Well, as you know, English is a foreign language for me. So when I see really odd spelling, I usually put it down to being a regional variant of the English language.

The4thBolt is funny:

Unlike stuff like X-Men, you can find tons of those on ebay!! Even at some garage sales, but that depends on the neighborhood you're in. In some of those "red states" you never find any reading material at garage sales, just guns. Always with the guns.

But I digress. lol

So let's not be mean, k?

Step away for a few hours and wow!

Is it just me or did J-Bolt's posts where he "outs" Mac were clearer then the usual dribble?

It seems like 2 different people wrote under J-Bolt's username.

Which explains allot.

Either - Its more then one person
or
its more then one person but one body.

[J. Roberts]

Aren't all the posters there just people from over here??

That's what it looks like to me. I mean, I just can't see how anyone could be such a rabid fan of a comic book "company" with a single issue. The J-Bolted forum posters have to be either J-Bolt sockpuppets or people having fun with him.

[Pamela Jarvinen]

Gail-- thank you for your reply...
Kirk currently does work for an advertising pro in Michigan, but recently has also began re-entering the comic book work force. He pencilled two issues for Moonstone Books under the "Kolchak: Tales of the Night Stalker" series. He and Peter David were approached at a comic convention last year by Moonstone, and asked it they would consider doing something together again. As a result, Kirk did the recent issues 5 & 6 and is currently in production for a 'Kolchak' black and white anthology with Mr. David as the writer.

thank you for the compliment Abbas.Khan, I will make sure Kirk receives your comment. ;)

[SUPERECWFAN1]

From the art I saw he seems to draw a good Mary Jane. Any future plans for him to do Amazing Spiderman or Spiderman MK down the road Mrs. Jarvinen ?

[Pamela Jarvinen]

superec--- call me Pamela, please

well, if asked, Kirk would definitely consider the job, but there are no current plans for him to do Spider-Man at the present. Kirk does have an especially good eye for drawing beautiful women ;) ...

Spider-Man is probably Kirk's most favorite superhero character... especially Steve Ditko's issues. Kirk drew two Golden Book adaptations of the character, in addition to the Marvel Swimsuit Mary Jane pin-up.

Ok thanks Pamela......someone get Joe Quesada on the phone. I'd love to see him drawing the book.


Gonna track those down once my work picks up Pamela. Good luck with the new work tell him. And I'll pull that he gets Spiderman at some point. ;)

[Cream Filled Taco]

http://imdb.com/title/tt0282390/board/threads/

The threads "Samantha Fox?" and "Get Off J-Bolts case!" are the key areas.

[PatrickG]

If I were J-Bolt, I think I would concoct a story about having been raised at the marine installation where Micah Wright served. He could claim that while he was raised speaking English, he learned to write in Vietnamese and so his spellings and punctuations are sometimes off.

Strange thought errors are generally much more forgivable among people who learned English as a second language.

Having been naturally endowed with ominous beauty, Jen Layton lived her life, in Tombell, Nevada, endlessly searching for respect and a love that would want to know her as a person...not just some blond bombshell. Jen works throughout her young life surpassing the expectations of those around her with superior drive for intellect and accomodations which end up in a respected position as a chemical scientist for one of the country's leading chemical research facilities, as an adult. This leads to even more ridicule and jealousy from her peers with the lone support of her best friends, Francie and Ronny. In an exhausted effort to prove her worth to those who look down upon her, Jen experiences a fateful accident which mutates her system into that of an explosive femme fatale, while finding that there was a real love with her all along, beyond her notice. The accident results in a detrimental "condition." Jen feels that all is lost as everything she's ever loved and worked for is blown away. Now its time that she shows everyone just how much of a "BombShell" she is. Can her family, friends, law enforcement, or even a new aquakinetic hero named Marinna, who was also mutated, stop BombShell's explosive rampage? You'll be surprised of the outcome.

Actually, in the U.S. it does until contested.

A copyright is considered to exist on all work produced, registered or not, so long as it is not in violation of a previous copyright. Registering provides protection, however, and enhances the rights afforded, basically.

[Matt Algren]

The scary thing is, he probably just deleted it and is pretending it never happened.
Well, I found the deleted thread, or at least what occupies its space. According to this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0282390/board/nest/15832203), the posts were all deleted by an administrator. I''m not up on IMDb's vernacular, but I have a feeling Samantha Fox's people complained to IMDb.

I wonder when she's scheduled to come to Vegas for acting lessons from Fisher? Wasn't he going to teach her how to be Bombshell?

I can't help imagining him at the airport with his mullet, mask, and a cardboard sign with her name scrawled across it. Sobbing in the corner day after day, he wonders what's holding her up. Maybe MacQuirkie got ahold of her, or worse yet, maybe she's a basher herself. "WHY WON'T THEY JUST LEAVE J-BOLT ALONE?!? DON'T THEY KNOW WHO I AM?!?"

[MacQuarrie]

True. For copyright anyway. Trademark is a whole nother beast.

Trademark is completely dependent on registration, and it costs a lot more than copyright. And since copyright does not cover names, titles or concepts, trademark protection is vital.

[PatrickG]

Well... Trademarks are interesting. They can be registered at the state or federal level so Pamela's search might not cover the (cheaper) state trademark (which I doubt J-Bolt acquired) and unregistered trademarks can be grandfathered.

I could trademark a superheroine known as Bombshell but J-Bolt COULD use his ashcan to establish a prior claim that would allow him to continue distributing the ashcan.

However, I believe he could be legally blocked from doing much in the way of NEW Bombshell material in that scenario.

I believe he could use the character and even call her "Bombshell" but never on a cover or in a title or any promotional material. Ala DC's Captain Marvel which arises from a somewhat different but somewhat similar scenario.

[MacQuarrie]

Very thorough analysis. I'm just pleased somebody knows the difference. It's one of my pet peeves, hearing people claim that they've copyrighted a character name.

Good job, Patrick.

Now where is some J-Bolty goodness?

[MacQuarrie]

Pardon me, I meant "copywrited". Or is it "copywrote"? "copywritten"?

[PatrickG]

Before anybody thinks I'm a Law student, I should suffix the above by saying that the above is my understanding from my interest in publishing as well as my parents' business.

My parents did some research before starting their restaurant. They chose what they believed to be a suitably untrademarkable, generic name. (To trademark something requires novelty. You can't trademark 'the' unless it has special novel meaning in the way that you are using it.)

A lunchmeat company later trademarked the name and sent my parents a cease and desist order. My parents were advised that while they could be grandfathered as their use of the name predated the trademark registration, the large company could still litegate and appeal to press the matter. Because my parents at that point could not afford the legal expenses of litigation, it was pointless to defend the limited rights that grandfathering would entail.

So my parents agreed to cease and desist and they chose a new name for their restaurant. In order to insure that a repeat would not occur, they chose a novel name. They secured internet domain rights as a first step and then filed for a trademark.

However, because they do not do inter-state commerce, a federal trademark could not be issued. (It's easy to loophole this by doing a single out-of-state sale but at the time my parents opted not to.) They applied for and were granted a state trademark of their name.

In the long run, I think their course of action has benefited them as the more novel business name has contributed to brand identity. They subsequently remodeled and have twice moved to larger and nicer retail units because of the growth that they have experienced. They have clout with vendors and in the community... And similar restaurant concepts have passed on the area, word being that they simply aren't in a position to start a new unit that could compete with my parents' restaurant for our market.

These are all strong benefits that have come with brand identity.

Now, even large companies don't always register trademarks for minor characters... But if you plan to merchandise or develop a property in any major way, it would be foolish not to lay down the $500 or so.

Enter J-Bolt and his Bombshell...

[Pamela Jarvinen]

patrick---
my comment was not that they could not 'claim' copyright, but that they did not have one according to the government...
and as your last post mentioned, if they were pursuing a movie---
their script should be registered, which it is not


however... why does some of the other links provided for J-Bolt say that he resides in Kansas? I missed something along the way there

[Pamela Jarvinen]

in retrospect, I thought about the Samantha Fox deletion and wondered why the one post would not just have been deleted instead of the entire thread. I noticed on another thread, one post had been deleted, it would seem to make sense that if the Fox representative was not real, the single post would have been deleted instead of the entire thread related to her. Afterall, isn't that exactly what was requested was her name 'deleted' from the board?


you know when to tell if any of the Bombshell info is a lie?
watch for it to be posted

[Pamela Jarvinen]

Here's another side of that copyright argument...
click on the copyright link:
http://www.copyright.gov/records/cohm.html

and type Pacific Trust into the claimant slot,
you'll get a whole list of over 235 different film scripts that are copyright registered by just that one particular financing company. if you scroll the list, you will see that many of the titles are completely unheard of and some are for simple television series.

We aren't talking about just comic books in this scenario...
If there was anyone financing a Bombshell movie, they would REQUIRE the copyright protection, otherwise they would risk someone else producing a similar project and losing their return. A movie doesn't make money until its seen and if it gets scrapped because someone else beats them to a release, the investor or bank loses everything invested

[MacQuarrie]

Beating the dead horse a little more....

Now that we've covered the intricacies of copyright and trademark law, the cold fact remains that there's no way J-Bolt can claim ownership of the titles.

Fact: Multiple properties can have the same title. For example, in the last 20 years there have been at least seven films with the title "Saving Grace" and none of them are remotely similar (the 1985 one with Tom Conti is great).

Since there is nothing unique or novelty about the common word "Bombshell," it would not be eligible for trademark protection as a film title. Perhaps when tied to the character design it might be defensible as a comic book trademark, but record searches indicate that it has never been filed. Aside from the fact that other comics, notably SpyBoy, have used characters of that name.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

It doesn't shock me that J-Bolt's delusions had him spinning these complex lies to the point he pestered 2 agents to telling him to "Go Fly a Kite ".

J-Bolt has sadly became a paranoid maniac who blames anyone for his not graspin reality. I'd hate to be on Imdb and see how he handles this loss.

I'm still trying to figure out if jbolted.com is a true fan site or a joke site or maybe even J-Bolt himself. So far, all I've learned is the site is registered to a Leslie Kennedy of Hot Springs Arizona. And google searches of that name come up with mixed results.

I had to make this request of Boltess because my attorney advised me that it would not be too intelligent of me to join a group that they previously joined and/or be associated with them in any capacity at all, while legal implications are being sought against the two of them.
Of course he is right, but it's so much fun having him in a room of people who will attack back, on my behalf, so that I'm not alone, like I have been TOTALLY bashed by them for about 5 YEARS, now! Things like that... are indescribable to the point that I can't spell that word!
You guys are...like...my Band-Aid, from 5 YEARS of attacks from these little weasels... and that's a BIG BAND-AID.
Now, somebody break out the brewskies and we'll think of campfire songs about lebian ex-hair-dressers.

And get a load of this:

BombShell won't come out until we start filming, so that the story is fresh, which means.... by the time you get to the movie, you're at the same point in the comics. That'll make the next movie and the next comic a surprise for you, instead of telling, and re-telling , and twisting a story that we've already head a hundred times over.
At the same time, we'll put out When Lightning Strikes #0 Hard-Copy because we're going to time that just right for the reason being, that we'll be doing a When Lightning Strikes Movie right after the BombShell movie tallies come in and the WLS movie is going to take a LONG time since it'll have EVERY LBC character at least make an appearance in it. That movie will end up answering a question that the comic leaves off at.
Everything is timing. I don't want to tell you a story you already know, but I'm trying not to leave you hanging too long either. That's why a lot hinges on the BombShell film. It'll start EVERYTHING and everything will be timed from there.

superec...
actually he did come back today on the jbolted board, but his post was deleted... (http://www.jbolted.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=21&start=15&sid=a7dc8c0067d24ab6d594e057cc6054c0)

guess that would mean his boltheads didn't think as much of his words as they have been claiming (or maybe they just realized how rediculous he was sounding and were afraid that would be proof to what the "bashers" have been saying

unfortunately, he proved his foolishness and reposted more

Since you guys have been so great, you might remember that my company's site has 2 stores: the general merchandise store, and the Members' store. At the Members' Store, I cut the cost, where we're barely making anything over the base price, of the merchandise, and is generally held for those who have a Membership BUT since we're re-working the site and the general merchandise store, I had a rush on getting the Members' Store put back together, so that I could give you guys, the URL, to say "Thanks for the help and support."
It is: www.cafepress.com/LBCMembersStore
Have fun and, if you have any suggestions, while we're putting the rest back up, by all means, ask me.

He is being really "generous." I have my own Cafe Press store. He would be making at least $2 to $3 per item if someone bought one.

[MacQuarrie]

You and Gail were erased from the JayBolted site, Mac.
I just wanted you to know we're here for you guys. A blow that...blowfull would surely topple...something...a fly, maybe.
This is me picking up the shattered fragments of my now-meaningless existence and struggling to get past it.

Even more tragic, the girl at Starbucks forgot to put the extra shot in my espresso this morning. The JBolted blow pales in comparison.

[Kyuubi]

Just so you know, we're here for you Mac. If you need a shoulder to cry on, i'll always be here.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Well I just spent an hour replying to J-Bolt In the "Ask J-Bolt" forum.

I forgot to mention I was from CBR In the 1st post and well....read It yourself. Guy pissed me off. Said In short: "I am scared of him and that I should leave."

This after treating the guy with some kindness. I pretty much replied with the usual response . Check It out.

Gail/Yabbers, I haven't been to the board in ages, but seeing that the J-Bolt thread has infected the board with over 78 pages, and reading of Mac and Gail's ban from the site I just wanted to say...


you make me proud.
Did William Shatner thank him at the Golden Globes?

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Ok Is this for real ? I mean....could this be someone from here or what ? If It Is....ok this Is good. I mean I'm no Legal Beagle but damn ! I want this guy bein my Lawyer If I can sue someone.

I just want him to toss a statement that he tossed out!

[MacQuarrie]

Your guess is as good as mine. I just wandered over there to see if Bolty had responded to the questions about Samantha Fox. I'm not posting there, and have no idea if this guy is real or not, but here's hoping.

Sweet Jesus! That felt like a ton of bricks.

But if the lawyer is for real and he takes a peek inside the JBolted site, he'll find new posts of Bolty making an even bigger ass of himself.


I wonder if we should post in JBolted that IMDB just got a legal bomb(shell) posted...

So he says he can sue whoever the stars who were named by J-Bolt. Plus how could he sue posters for replying to what J-Bolt reported as "news " ? I mean they just followed what he said and replied to It.

[MacQuarrie]

I didn't read it that carefully, but I thought he was suing on behalf of the stars named by J-Bolt. From what it sounds like, all the legal threats are aimed at J-Bolt and the owners of the J-Bolted site, not at the average posters. I could be wrong about that.

If anybody posted anything libellous about one of those stars, they could be liable for ther comments. I don't know for sure. Better find some of CBR's resident lawyers and brace for whatever's next.

[Pamela Jarvinen]

I think, the gist is,
he's saying he can sue j-bolt for causing or inciting the posts

Given J-Bolt's history, it wouldn't surprise me if this is fake. Still, if it's real, this is quite kooky, and it's scary to think I've been semi-watching this trainwreck for 6 odd years.

[the4thpip]

Over at J-Bolted, J-Bolt is trying to be as controversial as John Byrne:

I haven't seen too many people actually DO Humanitarian acts that have influenced me. Oprah makes BILLIONS but will start a charity, then take credit for it, Maury Povich has done a few good deeds, but those get over-shadowed by his tendancy to make his show more like Jerry Springer. I've seen a few good deeds, in my time, but I've never really seen a good "humanitarian." So, I guess, I'll just have to influence myself and make sure that I keep doing what's right, on my own merit. I don't mean to sound boastful with that answer, but can anyone really think of a GOOD HUMANITARIAN to be influenced by? I was raised in the days when comics gave us hope and REAL heroes, not heroes that we're almost as afraid of, as the villain. Therefore, I modelled my sense of humanitarianism based on those comic book morals: "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few," "save whoever you can, no matter what the risk/cost to yourself," etc. Stuff like that is what I grew up with and it was a hard fall down when I grew up and learned that the Police, Fire Departments, Politicians, News Industry, all the people that we grew up believing in,... we're, in actuality,... as corrupt as the crooks, if not more. Now, in comics, characters, who had the highest morals, go nuts and start killing people, they don't show the reality of corruption in the World, as it should be...so that kids won't grow up, thinking they're safe, when the truth is quite the opposite. The "Humanitarians" do what they do for tax write-offs, even if they, personally, don't do it. So, I guesss I'm just gonna' have to keep an eye out on myself and make sure MY values don't get twisted... maybe keep looking up the word "humanitarian," once in a while... just to remind myself what I want to be. Then be it.

[Pamela Jarvinen]

I'm not familiar with Loren, but I just went back and read the post again and it was clearly written directly to J-Bolt.
If it had been meant to include anyone else, it would have named them individually. It only named one other person.

I went back and re-read It. One guys already posted to It. Man...that was quick. He did apologize and said he was leaving the Forum. Man.....this Is like some Insane Internet Soap Opera and Its starting to get more wilder as we go!

[Brandon Hanvey]

J-Bolt is finally starting to update his site
http://www.lightningboltentertainment.com/home.html

[Pamela Jarvinen]

well, unless they just forgot to correct the date, its not too recent an update:

GET YOUR VOTES IN NOW BECAUSE WE'LL BE AVERAGING THE TOTALS BASED MOSTLY ON THE POLLS THAT COME IN THROUGH 12/31/04! DON'T WASTE ANY TIME!

[Brandon Hanvey]

well, unless they just forgot to correct the date, its not too recent an update:

The part about Samantha Fox is new. But below that is old. Plus he fixed the links to the rest of his site, but only on the home page.

[Pamela Jarvinen]

thanks Brandon, I haven't really been to the site much so I wouldn't have a clue between one change and another, just the date threw me off

[MacQuarrie]

Okay, I'd love to sit here and watch this ongoing slow-motion train wreck all night, but I'm going to bed now.

Maybe by morning the whole thing will be in flames.

I can't wait to see what happens when Samantha Fox's lawyers get a gander at that front page.

ah yes because this origin is clearly a very moral character:

Jen experiences a fateful accident which mutates her system into that of an explosive femme fatale, while finding that there was a real love with her all along, beyond her notice. The accident results in a detrimental "condition." Jen feels that all is lost as everything she's ever loved and worked for is blown away. Now its time that she shows everyone just how much of a "BombShell" she is. Can her family, friends, law enforcement, or even a new aquakinetic hero named Marinna, who was also mutated, stop BombShell's explosive rampage? You'll be surprised of the outcome

[Crowley]

and J-bolt continues to be a class act:

shame he can't spell lesbian.

and he follows it up with this:
That's what 5 YEARS of bashing does to ya'! It makes ya' hit buttons twice.

By the way... I'm not at all surprised about her being gay. She used to be a hair-dresser, for Pete's sake! Hello? How many hair-dressers AREN'T gay???

[TCJohnson]

and J-bolt continues to be a class act:


shame he can't spell lesbian.

and he follows it up with this:

I thought he was accusing Gail of being lebanese. While I hate to give into racial stereotyping, I hear the lebanese make greate hair stylists.

[palaeomerus]

I used to know a guy who was born in Greece on the Isle of Lesbos(or so he claimed) and he LOVED telling people that he was born a Lesbian or announce he wished to indulge his "considerable Lesbian appetites" anytime we went to eat Mediterannean food. It used to REALLY piss his mom off.

[YoGo]

Och. It's so painful to look at his website. The front page is a mess of poor copy and spelling mistakes. So much for 'editors' who while not editing his posts on forums, DO edit 'official' copy like the website. Not a big surprise though.

I'm glad he's getting active again though! It's like thinking he has fans now has re-energised him into putting out new bullsh....uh, hype.

[YoGo]

I just realised that Gail only mentioned, as far as I know, that she quit hairdressing completely here in YABS. And J-bolt knows obviously at J-bolted.com with his "lebian ex-hairdresser" remark.

So J-bolt obviously lurks here and I'd just like to say this:

Hi J-bolt! Hahaha! You're so deluded and you smell like a shoe. AND you just got ur ass handed to you by Sam Fox! Hahahahahaha!

I just want you to know how special you make my life with the work you produce....or claims of its existence at least.

[YoGo]

Oh good God! I've just had the greatest notion!

DWIGHT! You just HAVE to start posting at jbolted.com!

And then the entertainment will flow!

[Gail Simone]

Gee, I guess someone forgot to tell my son and my 6'3" martial artist, former bouncer husband that I'm a lesbian. Oh, and me, too. No one told me.

Could someone get a screen cap of wherever he said that, please? I'd like that just in case I need evidence.

Best,

Alsol, he said you were a lebian, not a lesbian.

Hey, here's a thought... maybe instead of dropping an "s", he dropped a "p".

Nah. Doubt he knows what "plebian" means.

I thought she was a lesbean?

For the love of Lucas somebody get these people a dictionary and instructions on its use.

[palaeomerus]

So have you guys made up your mind on him being a total delusional psycho or are you leaning more towards the theory that he's a creepy "wanna be a porn director" weirdo with a bizarre(and stupid) casting couch scam going on ?

I saw Dodgeball this weekend, and I think that Ben Stiller's character is pretty close to what our hero J-Bolt is like. laughing at his own jokes in, coming on way to strong, malapropisms galore, and following any controversial statement with "just kidding, but not really."

I think he has a bit too much confidence, and I am sticking with my theory that he has some type of behavioral medication. Perhaps he's bipolar.

[TCJohnson]

malapropisms galore

Great, now I need a dictionary. Is there any instructions on this thing? Stupid, stupid kcarroll! (Just kidding kcarroll...not really.)


;)

[kcarroll]

As a bit of history, I'd like to point out that no one has been "bashing" J-Bolt for 5 years. I believe the story goes like this. J-Bolt appeared on several forums saying that he was creating a new comic ompany to compete with the existing ones. this was about 5 years ago. Several of the characters from this forum took him up on the challenge of proving him wrong. They did, he got angry. Shortly after that, he disappeared.

that was before i frequented this forum, so i could have some details wrong.

However, last year, J-Bolt came back to this forum asking for a second chance. He was humble and simply wanted to be given a second chance. He began making realistic claims and even admitted to being overwhelmed. He participated on this forum for a little while, and as he stayed, his claims got more ridiculous. Suddenly, he had a family of companies agian, dozens of employees, and he began to take offense at anyone questioning his answers. He then stormed out, as much as anyone can strom out of an electronic forum. But some of us followed to his forum to continue the conversation.

so the whole point of that summary is to remind everyone that ol' J-Bolt has twice asked for this attention. As far as I know, during the 3 or so years of "quiet time", no one hassled J-Bolt. Other than the nostalgic reference from time to time, no one even thought about him. In the last year, it's been pretty constant attention, but like I said, he did request it.

Har! I saw Dodgeball yesterday, and was thinking the exact same thing!

The guy in Dodgeball was a success.

Gail

[TCJohnson]

Hey, you never know. J-Bolt still might be a success someday.

[Kyuubi]

Hey, you never know. J-Bolt still might be a success someday.


You are hearing yourself? You just said he might be a success, go to the nearest bathroom and wash your mouth out with soap right now!

[Roquefort Raider]

As a bit of history, I'd like to point out that no one has been "bashing" J-Bolt for 5 years. I believe the story goes like this. J-Bolt appeared on several forums saying that he was creating a new comic ompany to compete with the existing ones. this was about 5 years ago. Several of the characters from this forum took him up on the challenge of proving him wrong.

We weren't even that antagonistic. When a few curious souls went to J-Bolt's site and saw how bloody awful the first pages of the ashcan were, and how preposterous his claims of excellence were, they encouraged others to go see by themselves how ridiculous the whole thing was. A few people tried giving him pointers on artwork, storytelling and even basic grammar, but he was as dismissive of criticism then as he is now. At the time, nobody even doubted that he could produce books; we just thought that they wouldn't be very good without a whole lot of effort.

Then his stories became more and more preposterous and he became the butt of many jokes. Anyone remember when he'd blame his website problems on his defective mainframe, and how his "team" of technicians was handling it? God, it was painful to see him dig a deeper and deeper hole every time he posted.

However, last year, J-Bolt came back to this forum asking for a second chance. He was humble and simply wanted to be given a second chance. He began making realistic claims and even admitted to being overwhelmed.

It bears repeating that he was granted every courtesy and received a lot of honest encouragement by many posters, particularly Gail. I am personally convinced that given his own determination, and despite his lack of real talent, J-Bolt could have produced a comic-book or a direct-to-video little superhero flick. All he needed was to recognize his limitations and seek out help in the fields where he wasn't as good as he should, particularly when it was freely offered. (I mean, the guy refused a script by a professional comic-book writer! How full of himself can he be???)

He participated on this forum for a little while, and as he stayed, his claims got more ridiculous. Suddenly, he had a family of companies agian, dozens of employees, and he began to take offense at anyone questioning his answers. He then stormed out, as much as anyone can strom out of an electronic forum. But some of us followed to his forum to continue the conversation.

By then, it was also obvious that hye was something of a con artist and not only a delusional and frustrated would-be creator. His only customer that I know, Mac, was deprived of his money and got nothing in return. Bolt had also impugned many posters' honesty, a sure way to ask for people to blow holes in one's own lies.

In the last year, it's been pretty constant attention, but like I said, he did request it.

It's also probably the ONLY attention he gets. And the poor man must feel so happy to have true and devoted fans over at j-bolted. I hope that he doesn't undergo a massive breakdown the day the Great Oz steps from behind the curtain.

[TCJohnson]

You are hearing yourself? You just said he might be a success, go to the nearest bathroom and wash your mouth out with soap right now!


And I still have hope I can win the lottery...anything can happen.


A few people tried giving him pointers on artwork, storytelling and even basic grammar, but he was as dismissive of criticism then as he is now

I wish I could have read this. I would have loved to see that criticism and his response. I think he has some minor talent as an artist...but you can tell he got to a certain point and decided he didn't need anymore help from anybody so he stopped growing as an artist.

[MacQuarrie]

So have you guys made up your mind on him being a total delusional psycho or are you leaning more towards the theory that he's a creepy "wanna be a porn director" weirdo with a bizarre(and stupid) casting couch scam going on ?
I don't want to make unfounded accusations or say anything libellous, so I'm going to step very carefully here.

EDIT:: Never mind. I better keep my yap shut.
