#NerdsUnite: Let's get @therealadamwest a star!
Dudes - hold the phone ... HOLD THE FREAKING PHONE!
Look at this email last night from my nerdy buddy @actionchick ... it says AND I QUOTE:
Wait, @therealadamwest DOESN'T have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame? Wait - WHAAAAATTTTTTT!!!! How is this possible!?! Like no, not even remotely attempting to be overly dramatic - it just is ... and it is just happening ... HOW THE FUCK DOES ADAM WEST NOT HAVE A STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME?!?!
Matt Damon has a star (hahahaha Matt. Damon.) Britney Spears and her illegitimate once conjoined twinkie Mickey Mouse bff Christina Aguilera has a star ... Tony Danzzzaaaaaaaaaaa has a star!!!!!!!!!
HOW DOES ADAM WEST NOT HAVE A STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME?
This is not okay.
Like at all. Look at this list of people that have stars. Seriously? Seriously? Seriously? How is this happening.
The man is a living LEGEND! His bio is like a guide on "How to Be Awesome In Life!"
Men have killed for less than this man has achieved with his PINKY!!!!
PINKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
HE. IS. BATMANNNNN!!!!
Alrite, so its been established. He doesn't have a star. Cool beans, what can we do about it?? WELLLLLL!!! We can unite and cause a coup d'état CLEARLY!!!
Watch!
Are you an Adam West fan? Have you visited his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? No you haven't! That's because after more than 50 years of entertaining his fans, Adam still hasn't been honored with a star!
Whether you're a fan of the original Batman series or of Mayor Adam West on Family Guy, there's no denying that Adam West is one of kind.
For the past two years I've been documenting Adam's personal and public moments as his family and fans campaign to get him a star on the Walk of Fame. We've followed Adam to the Kevin & Bean KROQ radio show, to Comic Con, and to a recording of Family Guy. We've also taken a deeper look into the concepts of celebrity and stardom, and examined the personal toll they've taken on Adam and his family.
We recently scored a victory in Palm Springs which finally honored Adam with a star but friends, family & fans still have their sights set on Hollywood.
After 65 years of stardom, why hasn't the Hollywood system accepted Adam and given him the star his fans think he deserves? We hope that this documentary will help to answer that question and to finally push the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to take notice.
Please help by supporting this film and the campaign to finally honor a true American icon with a star on the Walk of Fame. Your donations will allow us to finish shooting, to hire an editor, and to license both clips and music. We really need your help to get this project to the finish line!
Thanks so much for your support!
This man is an icon, a living legend - if there is ANYONE under the sun that deserves this, it is Adam West. Like seriously, I am not even kidding you when I keep saying this is blowing my mind that he doesn't have one. I just wow, cannot comprehend how all this time has gone by and he hasn't gotten one. WEIIIRRDD!!
Alrite, so let's identify what the next doable actions are ...
If you got a dolla - you can help donate to their KickStarter program. They've already backed over 8K! Not too shabby mcnabby!
I would say start a twitter campaign or even a facebook like page, but the Hollywood peeps are fucking dinosaurs. I very genuinely do not believe that would work. Breaks my heart to say that, I assure you - but it's Hollywood. Do I really need to say more?
A youtube video - like the one Kat is putting together - is brilliant! (You think people read in Hollywood? have you not seen the scripts that have come from this place recently?? *smh*) Let's be a part of it! I'm going to record my part this afternoon, send it on over to Kat, and I really hope you all can do the same! I am not even kidding you, I will ABSOLUTELY make this my new life mission. For reals, I am a VERY focused individual - and this just has to happen. So, let's do it!
Your mission should you choose to accept: Today, if you have 2 seconds (which let's be real - who doesn't have two measly seconds) send a quick vid, or take a picture showing your love for Adam, and send it to Kat (chick at actionflickchick dot com)
Then, when ya do - drop me a tweet @JenFriel or some sort of nerdy love note (jenfriel at talknerdytomelover dot com) and lmk that you did it, so I can thank you personally. For reals, this would mean a lot to me. Very small gift to give back to a man who has contributed so so much!
We love you Adam! Sincerely from the very bottom of my nerdy heart, thank you so so so much for your contribution to the arts. You are truly an icon. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Keep up the amazing work.
xoxo #nerdsunite
PS. Adam, how the hell do you know @jamesisanerd??
Dude, he was totally in our flick for the Fiesta Movement (Ford gave 20 teams across 16 cities a Ford Fiesta to travel around in and document their adventures in social media. Best. Idea. Ever.) - and just randomly bumped into him in a party a few weeks back. Amazing dude! Wait, of course you two would know each other ... birds of a feather. UGH! Life! Why are you so awesome. *sigh*
