cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted April 16, 2010 From New York Times : ...Dowd, who wrote the screenplay for “Slap Shot” based in part on the experiences of her brother, Ned, who played minor league hockey, said she believed Hanson and the Carlsons were performing as the Hanson brothers illegally. “I own the rights to live representation,” Dowd said. “We’ve put them on notice and sent a letter to their lawyer.” ... ...“What they do in these shows, those are not the Hansons,” she said. “I created the Hansons. The Hansons were innocent goons. Not some dirty old guys in wigs. They tell dirty-old-man jokes. I find it offensive.” She added, “I think they’ve seriously diminished the value of ‘Slap Shot’ by these dog-and-pony shows they’ve put on.” ... The boys should offer to cut her a cheque in her name, made out to her favourite charity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordie Howe hat trick 110 Report post Posted April 16, 2010 Oh cry about it Dowd. If them going around like that diminishes the movie, then every person who dresses up like a Ghostbuster for Halloween diminishes that movie as well. Maybe the people who dress as them should start cutting checks as well...stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
