Wow muppitman...looks like we bet on the wrong fighter...or the right fighter in the wrong ring. Thanks for the post. Guess we shouldn't be surprised....
Have a good holiday season everybody...boy, the presents I could have bought for my family with the money I thew down the can on this pos.....
Dividend? You mean...someone actually GOT a divident? How about we all call Ken and ask about it....
I agree! That's why I said "LOL"! Thousands of bucks was a high price, so I might as well watch the unfolding saga! Better, fankly, than Jenny Jones or Jerry Springer.
Well, I'll be jiggered...Emperia does not present a great deal of competition...but it sure has it now...look what James is doing! LOL!
Owned Entertainment Announces Website, Executive Team, First Project,
Future Plans, Interactive Entertainment Division and Undefeated MMA
Fighter Cung Le In Key Role
AUSTIN, TX. Oct 17, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) – Owned Entertainment, Inc.
announced today that it has launched its websites
ownedentertainment.com and MMAmovie.com to the public. The website
contains pictures and detailed bios of the newly announced executive
team which includes Chairman/CEO Eric Alfio, President James Hergott,
President of Production Tarquin Gotch, President of European
Distribution Don Clovis, and President of Domestic Distribution and
Marketing Damir Catic. The website also has a "Captured" section
which includes a number of pictures of its executive staff.
FIRST PROJECT ANNOUNCED
Chairman/CEO Eric Alfio is funding the initial start up and will be
funding the first movie going into production "Owned". Alfio comments,
"We have a very strong and diverse team with expertise in different
areas of the industry, we will set a new standard for mainstream
independent entertainment." The company has also retained an attorney
to take the company public for additional expansion. James Hergott
who recently completed the screenplay and will also be directing Owned
comments, "This is by far the best screenplay I have ever written. It
includes MMA fighting but is also set in the future and is an exciting
sci-fi action thriller. It is a mix of Die Hard, The Matrix, and A
History of Violence. We will be looking for a combination of talented
actors and MMA fighters for the movie. By having our funding already
in place it allows us to focus on the creative side of the business
without worrying about capitalization."
FIRST FIGHTER ANNOUNCED
The first fighter announced is undefeated MMA fighter and world
kickboxing champion Cung Le (www.cungle.com). Le has a key role in
the upcoming Academy Award winner Terrance Howard (The Brave One,
Pride, Hustle & Flow) film Fighting and is growing an impressive
acting resume. Le is excited to be a key character in Owned, he
comments "I am very happy to accept a challenging role that will allow
me to grow as an actor and I look forward to working with Mr.
Hergott."
INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT DIVISION ANNOUNCED
Owned Entertainment, Inc. is also starting an interactive
entertainment division and will be producing a video game in
conjunction with the movie. Owned Entertainment is in negotiations
with several top video game and software designers about co producing
the game. While last year's US movie box office increased to $9.49
billion, the global video game market is expected to grow from $33
billion in 2006 to as much as $47 billion in 2009. It is projected
that worldwide sales for the top video game consoles will reach
between 180 and 210 million by 2012. The recently released Halo video
game pulled in an estimated $170 million during its first 24 hours,
which is more money than any movie in history has made in the US box
office over the same period of time. Interactive entertainment
typically has lower budgets and higher profit margins than motion
pictures, which enables it to increase sales when released in
conjunction with a motion picture. In a recent industry study it was
reported that many games in this scenario have attained 90% or higher
profit margin while the typical Hollywood studio generates overall
margins in the 15% neighborhood. Owned Entertainment, Inc. intends to
position itself to capitalize on this expanding entertainment market
with an aggressive push in the interactive entertainment market as
well as traditional movie markets.
Hergott comments, "The Owned movie is perfect for our first release as
it translates well to both a motion picture and video game. It has
already been reported that Wal-Mart is pulling movies off of shelves
in order to increase its interactive entertainment content space and
video stores such as Hollywood Video are closing up stores. As
entertainment trends change we want to be in a position to capitalize
on future growth markets. Our strategic plan is to be on the
forefront of the convergence of movies and interactive entertainment
so that we are prepared for the future. We want to not only be
focused on where things are now, but where the market is headed in the
next five to ten years. Such diversification could also put us in a
prime position for a future acquisition by an entertainment or
software media conglomerate." Owned Entertainment, Inc.'s Interactive
division will be operated out of Houston, Texas.

Hi underalue...You've been around this board for some time and I really respect you...for a while you and I were some of the very few folks who were positive about Imperia...I just can't get positive over this thing any longer...yes, we've read the PRs....but that's the problem..we've read TO MANY misleading PRs...Ken's trustablity quotient is a little lower then zero...at least in my opinion. It's good to hear you on the board again...and, if you could give me a serious reason to be hopeful...no one would be happier than me...I just can't hold my breath any longer on this one...Have a good day.
Has anyone heard how Ken is supposidly going to get the funds for those divies to us when he doesn't even have our addresses? (And I don't WANT to give HIM my address!!!!)
Also..has anyone heard if he is still doing his monthly propoganda,er, I mean, conference calls? I'd like to listen in again just for the entertainment...and learn from a master magician...
I could not have said it more eloquently stockmavin!
Interesting insight...So, how has he proposed to get those payments too us? He doesn't have my address - I purchased this pos through Scottrade for thosands of bucks. How about it Ken? You gonna look up all our addresses?
What a beautiful day it is here in Michigan...fall means the trees are turning fantastic colors...and, more exciting than that, Imperia's movie "Say It In Russian" will be out soon...I and all the other folks who put thousands of dollars into this will be RICH RICH RICH soon! Yes, it's Fall...they told me it was coming out in the fall! OH NO! WAIT! They said fall...but they said LAST fall...Fall 2006!
Here we are...a year later...and much poorer! Well...the European Tour is over...no buyers yet...incredible! Who can take acomplished actors like Rade Sherbegia, Steven Brand, Berkoff, and Dunaway, have it edited by William Anderson...and give us an unwanted dog like this!?
Thanks to all you Ihub folks who have helped me maintain my sanity with your humor and insightfulness over this past year...I could have done some wonderful things for my family with those thousands of bucks
Ah! That must be what my Michigan Farmer freinds call "Fresh"...as in "It sure is fresh out here today Ma..."....If there IS something else in the air, I'm not aware of anything...sure has been quiet for the last few days...perhaps we are all in silent reflection....how skillfully...how deftly Ken bamboozeled us. I like your "sweet" mrdale...that's what Ken got us to believe his saaweet stuff was....
seriously...does anyone have any news....I'm not holding my breath for any good news anymore...but, maybe the smelling the air around Imperia should be avoided...
Something in the air? Something besides the smell of Ken's droppings of doo doo all over our lives? Reverse split? Bankruptcy? If anyone knows, I'd love to hear...being entertained by the Imperia saga (sick soap opera)is about all I have to claim for the thousands Ken took from me....
Please relax Parishan....I never erased anything from you...My posts with Russian have been erased in the past also....I think especially on the weekends...please do not include me in with what others have done...
Really...nobody is against you here....
Peace to you Salam Elechem!
Zdrasvieta...sposiba...u menya krasivia ruski jena! Tak, ti budet ponomieta kagda Ya chochu smotrit "Govorit Eta Po-Ruski"!!!! LOL!
Hello! thanks! I have a beautiful Russian Wife...So, you will understand why I want to see "Say It In Russian"!! LOL
Yes...it was so cool two years ago when I was showing my beautiful Russian Wife all about this wonderful movie they were making...it brought back memories of me being in Russia falling in love with her...seriously! Lukily...MY Russian wife is honest, caring, and wonderful...she hasn't mentioned divorcing me after putting thousands from our inheratance money in this pos...DERMO, pravda?
Hang in there Mrdale...e astaroshnia! There are people like Ken out there, pravda?
You are not a moron Parishan....Many of the folks who bought into this are reasonably intelligent people...Ken is just very good at doing what he does (to listen to him on the phone...unvelieveably smooth! - he doesn't miss a beat) Remember...we warned you...I was defending him too a year ago...Eventually everyone catches on...it's just we've lost thousands of bucks in the process...I just like tuning into this board every day...it helps ease the loss a bit...yes, expensive entertainment...but there are some good folks out there on the board...I feel like the folks here are my "commrads"...TOVARISH!
Muller is up? Yeh' Now I'll be rich with all those divy shares!...Wait! I don't HAVE my divy shares! Wasn't Ken supposed to be getting some kind of an accountant to get these to their holders? Is Ken still doing his monthly phone conference chat? Does anyone know? Does anyone Care...
Good Luck to everyone
Yes, of course I saw "screening" part instead of the competition part...was just being a little facisious...What else could I do when I realized my thousands of dollars had been turned into less than 70 cents by Ken...
Good luck everybody....thanks for being as about as therpeutic as anything could be in the face of this turd factory. You guys out there have often made my day. Hang in there...if we all go though enough incarnations, it would be interesting to see Ken's Karma
Hey Everybody! We're going to Europe again!!!!!
Imperia Entertainment to Screen 'Say it in Russian' at Venice Film Festival
49 minutes ago - PR Newswire
Imperia Entertainment, Inc. (Pink Sheets: IPEI) announced today that it has accepted the offer of the Venice Film Festival's Industry Office to screen "Say it in Russian" at the festival outside of the films in competition. The Venice Film Festival is the oldest and most prestigious film festival in the world. It will take place from August 9 through September 8 on the Venetian island of Lido. Exhibition at festivals from now until the American Film Market in November is part of the company's strategy to obtain a theatrical distribution for the film. A theatrical distribution in the U.S. typically makes the film ultimately more valuable in foreign sales.
ABOUT SAY IT IN RUSSIAN
"Say it in Russian," (http://www.sayitinrussianmovie.com) starring Faye Dunaway, Rade Sherbedgia (Snatch), Steven Brand (The Scorpion King), Agata Gotova, and Steven Berkoff (Beverly Hills Cop), is directed by Jeff Celentano (Gunshy) and edited by award winning editor William Anderson (The Truman Show). The film follows the story of an American man who falls in love with a young Russian girl and follows her to Russia, where he gets involved in a hurricane of events surrounding her father, a rich Russian oligarch
Ahhh! So it will be just like he did with James as C.E.O.
I hope any prospective C.E.O. will run across our board...
Hi Parishan..They deleted me too...
I wouldn't have believed it! My comments were tounge and cheek..WAY less inflamatory than MANY other comments...Maybe they really are afraid of different languages...
Come on guys...I'll translate what I wrote if you're worried
Ken Dermo means Ken is s..t
Ken Durack means Ken is an A.. H....
Remember guys...I'm on YOUR side!
I'll try not to "say it in Russian" again...
Ken stepping down???!!! Sorry I have to be in class teaching at 11:00...This news I want to hear!
Thank-you for correcting me...Salam Alechem....
Thanks for joining the talks Parishan...I've got lots of respect for you...my wife is also foreign born (Russia) and is working on her English...her favorite joke is...."if a person speaks two languages they're bi-lingual...if they speak three they're tri-lingual...what are they if they speak one?"....the asnwer is "An American". Please do not feel offended...lots of us have been really screwed by Ken and Imperia....I was wanting to be positive about this company for a long time...some of the "critics" were pretty rough on James and Ken...I didn't listen to them...I was wanting to give Imperia a "fair shot"...well, I did give them a fair shot and got royally screwed. Ken has NOT been fair. Now that we know you're not Ken or one of his buddies you are part of the family...Of course, you're still working on your English...it is one crazy language! But I understood your entire communicaiton...keep up the great work...With your military training, I assume you were taught that there are some folks you better not trust...Ken is a guy not to be trusted
Wow Muppitman! I wonder who those "investors" are! Is that us or Ken's super duper friends?
Ken is a real magician...turning thousands of dollars into just about one in my case...thanks to all you Ihub people...I've been taken, that's for sure...but some of you folks sound like pretty intelligent folks...I guess it's not completely because I'm dumb...Ken was really good in what he did...by the time I caught on it was too late...
Good luck to everyone....
Thanks for bringing us the updated page for N.S.
I notice we have a new Rebecca! Agata is now "Sasha"...appropriate!
Cindy...once again you show your class. I wish I knew what you have shared with us a year and a half ago...just like everyone I guess....I'm actually down MORE than 98%
Good Luck To EVERYONE!
I love the new Ihub page too!
bless your heart Thorserb....I could never fault someone for trying to be optimistic. So you are defining this as a bit frustrating. L.O.L.! Research shows that an optimistic attitude can foster mental health, so great...just remember that chronic frustration and getting screwed (in the negative sense) can be quite detrimental as well...
No one would like to see this go up more than I would... but my "frustration" has passed to dispair, resignation, and the learning of a pretty painful lesson long ago. A while back I thought I might buy at 2 cents..that had been the previous low...I thought a few more thousand dollars could help recoup some of my losses...SO glad I listened to some of the voices on this board and my new found learnings regarding Ken.
Good Luck man...stick around on this board...I won't bash you for your laudable intentions to look on the bright side. We probably need you as a balance. I think your frustration may turn into something else eventually...it did for me...good luck
Hi Thorserb2....
So that was YOU who called in and asked about James....you sound like a good and intelligent person.....
The call made you feel better because that is what it was DESIGNMED to do. I never said Ken was dumb. He has taken money from lots of pretty bright people who write into this board. Let's encourage other I-hub members to call next month. Now we know...yes, people can really ask questions - kudos to you for proving it. Until a couple of months ago I was willing to give Ken the benefit of the doubt also...I've been in this for more than a year and a half. With lots of respect for you Thorserb - I'm warning you.
Did you hear all that slick talk about waiting for a better buyer? I respect your right to independent investigation of truth....I just don't want others to get screwed like we were....
About the dividends that were mentioned...yes, we were supposed to get them A YEAR AGO...
They are getting a new accountant so now they can issue those Muler shares...what excitement! So, they are planning on such calls on a monthly basis....
WOW...this guy is slick! That is the first time I heard him by voice. Nothing is his fault. According to him James resigned from the company. Here comes more publicity (surprize surprize) There were only about 10 callers!!!!
Exactly why I had to say "good luck"! LOL! Have a good day faster. Maybe I'll hear you in the phone conference
Exactly why I had to say "good luck"! LOL! Have a good day faster. Maybe I'll hear you in the phone conference
Wow...We opened up 25%! Probably on all the excitment over the phone conference coming up today...Good Luck to everyone!
Thank-you once again Cindy
Thank-you once again Cindy
Hi Titan...Where can I find that pr? Certainly it's not on the Imperia Site...What a magician Ken is...he can take 10,000 dollars and turn it into less than 50 dollars. Good luck to everyone. Cindy..thanks again for all the information...it's painful but we certainly need it. Not so sure I want to hear any more but it will probaly help make sense out of things. All the elements of classic Greek Tragedy..character flaws lead to a dismal conclusion...Such sordid stuff....
I like your spiritual outlook. LOL!
I wish I could stop him. All readers of this discussion are warned. The king has no clothes but some don't want to see...I've never seen anything like this either undervalue
No one can say Ken is stupid when it comes to getting people to give him money...
Oh My God...down to seven tenths of a cent...
I was wondering about that distributing agreement - it was one of the reasons I was so excited about this stock...Thanks for the posting. A dose of reality. Not pleasent but needed
All Lies All Lies...
A year ago we thought this would be a week of rejoicing...
Good Luck To Everyone...
Hi Thorserb2...
My comment on the price going down after the showing has historical context. Obviously I did not expect the film to be purchased on the first day as soon as the movie was over. When "All That I Need" came out there was a wonderful upsurge in price based on confidence. This was actually on anticipation of its release. This situation is diametric - the absolute opposite. There is no confidence in this - and there are reasons behind that lack of confidence. I sounded so much like you a year ago it is spooky. I support your right to an optimistic view point. I admire it. You make your own decisions and I respect you for it. I didn't listen to the "bashers". Some comments over this board have been a little on the crude side. Maybe that's why I was not inclined to head the warnings. Now that I've thrown my money away, I'm just throwing my voice in with lots of others. You do what you want, of course, but many of us have lost and lost big. I could handle loosing on an even playing field. There have been, however, some unseemly things going on here. You are respectfully warned. I wish I would have cut my losses back in December at least. There just isn't much to cut anymore.
I suppose I should get used to strange things with Imperia...but the price going DOWN after the debut of what we've all been waiting for...what a shame. Good luck to everyone
Hi Thorserb2
You sound like a good person. I like positive! Just like you, I'd MUCH rather put out positive energy than negative! For more than a year and a half I ignored the negative comments on this board. This stock will have to go to about $1.25 for me to get back my loss of thousands of dollars. I was actually willing to "wait it out". "Of course companies can have delays" I said. I will admit...this is my first venture into Penny Stock land (what an education!)....If you go back and look at the charts over the last year - things just DON'T behave as they should based on both technicals and fundamentals. At least the false fundamentals put forth in press releases from this du du factory. IPRE is toxic stuff. In my opinion, there is a sociopath doing bad things out there in California. I said that was my opinion. No body can sue me for that can they? It would be great if you were right Thorserb2...Lot's of intelligent folks have been screwed here. It is no shame to be taken by someone who is good at what they do
I was just wondering everybody....What is going to happen to that European investment concern when Never Submit never materializes? Somebody is going to have folks on both sides of the Atlantic who are a little less than pleased.
Well...I guess SIIR was shown yesterday...are we all rich yet?
Cindy...thanks for clarifying that you are not a stockholder...but I still think you are pretty cool and would be great as part of the leadership team. I'd have some confidence then.
If this is a possibility - for what it's worth, I'll through in my shares to see such a scenario....of course my shares, compared to Ken's gazzillons may not look like much. Good luck everyone
