WME's Dynasty... a review

Okay first off yes I went to the show last night. Yes I paid to get in.... hate all you want, but I don't like to talk shit about something if I don't know what I'm talking about. So I paid my 18 dollars to get in and watch this and here is what I got from it.

Dynasty was easily the worst "professional" ski/snowboard film I have ever seen... even worse than the last 3 or 4 years of WME movies. I have seen Refresh, EDIAS, Transitions, MN Nice, Lets Dance, and So Far So Hood. Every single banger shot in Dynasty was footage that WME purchased from other film companies, and when I say every single banger shot I mean something like the 3 banger shots in the film. WME's editing staff absolutely murdered every single clip of anything worth watching by showing a 1 second clip of the trick and not showing landings and or the second half of a spin or rail. The absolute worst part of this film though was the fact that they actually were so desperate for athletes that they put the Schrab brother's in the film... I mean really guys? They bulit a shitty jump in a corn field in Michigan and had some shotty winch tow in system. I'm pretty sure the banger shot of their segment was a penciled out 7... like straight up penciled out, no grab, spin to win 7. I couldn't believe my eyes... there wasn't a single grab in that whole segment and it was just painful to watch. Get some real skiers WME. Oh and we were laughing our asses off when we saw people actually getting Luke Schrab's autograph. The soundtrack for the film was just so weak and poorly chosen. Jonny Moseley is such a piece of work too. I don't want to listen to some washed up mogul skier talk about how well known he is for his mogul skiing. The best shots in this movie were the ones from back in the day.... the ones that Warren Miller actually filmed. I didn't once hear Warren Miller's voice in the entire film... now granted I didn't stay for the credits so maybe they did put his famous "if you don't do it this year, you'll be one year older when you do". But for some reason I feel like they always put that in before the credits. It was kind of sad to realize that WME continues to do well because the majority of the people who go to see their films now days are weekend warriors... the people who go skiing once year. It's disgusting to see people hootin' and hollerin' for a flim that is absolutely god awful. WME I want my $18 back and the 2 or 3 hours I wasted watching b-footage. Thank god I was able to go drown my sorrows in some liquid courage at a playboy mansion party last night.

HA THEY DID THIS LIKE TEN YEARS AGO

and why couldn't I 'quote reply'?
 
i don't know what you expected.... and why on earth would anyone ever pay $18 for a movie premier????? that is the biggest rip off i've ever heard, how did they even sell any tickets at all??
 
warren miller entertainment movies kinda suck because they always use atleast 3 songs by dave matthews band
 
Yeah what tha fuck?? $18 for a warren miller movie?? Haa..you could almost buy 3 sick ass, real ski movies from I-tunes for that price. I'm so glad I didn't go this year. I'm never going again..
 
yea i would never pay that for movie, but at most WME premiers you get free lift tickets with you purchase... so its kinda worth it
 
Warren Miller officially fails
so does Luke Schrabi guess this is the person you were talking about
he fails
 
I'm glad to hear it sucked, and that Warren's voice wasn't even used in it. That alone kinda makes the WME v. Level1 suit funny, as far as I'm concerned.
 
i wouldnt really call moseley a washed up mogul skier...fuck it, if you have a chance to make cash after your prime pro skiing years...why the hell not? its all about the benjamins fool.
 
They bought footage? what the hell kind of busch league is this? Warren used to do the coolest segments, its sad to see them throw such a great legacy away
 
$18 to see a WME movie? This is why they're so damn rich. Both snowboard movie premieres I have been to this year were free, and I'll bet they kicked the shit out the WME premiere you were at.
 
they've been buying footage for years. All of PBP and MSP's b and c shots. and they'll throw a Nature Valley promo shot in during a heli ride.
 
i would never have paid 18 bucks to see that, today i paid 10 bucks, got to see 4 premieres, and ski a set-up..
 
HELL YEAH! I was talking to a boarder about this at the event today because he asked if I was going to the Syracuse premier of Dynasty. Unfortunately, it became incredibly obvious to me how little the general public knows about WME and what the company has become. Oh well, they'll fade out in due time.
 
I wore my "warren miller is my friend" Tee to keystone the other day. Very surprised to see how many older guys not only knew what was up, but also backed level 1 even though they have been riding the Warren Miller wave since its birth. Looks like the press has done an excellent job showing the true colors of the corporate monster called WME. Not only does it cost more to get into their premiers but for a company that has the financial backing of a bank, their shwag bag giveaway stuff is lame. I can get nature valley granola bars for free at any of the vail resorts. Save your money, buy something worthwhile!
 
Why did you go in the first place? Not trying to be a dick, but don't buy a ticket. Even if WME put out a great film I'd hope nobody actually would go to it in support of Level 1.
 
And adding to that, I do realize you wanted to go so you wouldn't "hate on something you hadn't seen" or whatever, but still, why support a company while they have a lawsuit on Level 1...
 
i didnt see the film, i stopped watching WME movies a couple years ago because i saw them start to go downhill, i mean the older films are great, but the new ones like mentioned just use shots from other movies and only feature a little bit of warren millers commentary if any.
 
Fuckkk. I just found out that my gaper friends parents bought tickets to the premier before I could tell them other wise. I guess I'll have to sit through another WME film and pull my hairs out one by . I'll wear level 1 tee or some sort of warren miller is my friend

I wasn't openly supporting WME. I went because I had just gotten a good tip for hooking some buddy's up with a keg that night and my friend was heading out to WY for the winter and we're skiers so we figured we'd go check it out. Trust me whether or not WME got my $18 wasn't going to make a difference... the show ended up selling out and they had to turn people away. I wasn't expecting the movie to be good at all... it was kind of like when there's nothing good on t.v. so you watch some retarded show anyways. So I don't feel like I was supporting WME by giving a company that is backed by a large corporation my 18 dollars. And I'm pretty sure I've bought or i'm going to buy plenty of films this year that will directly support companies like Level 1, PBP, etc. So no worries I didn't sell my soul to the devil or anything.
 
my friend got all gaper-ed out and went to see it. she has never seen any other good ski flicks before (pbp,msp,tgr, ect)sucks that for most of the skiing community (outside of NS really) WME films are the still the shit, and people dont know any better
 
yeah... children of winter was trash ( got it for free from friends dad" and i went to the premier and almost no one clapped at the end. it was terrbile
 
thats not really true. the racing community is very aware that wme is bs; i mean i went to see anomaly with some teammates a few years back, and come on everyone knows yearbook was the shit.

plus now that level1 is being assaulted by wme, its generating enough press for even more people to wise up
