actually doucheman posted a blog about this:

I'd give negative kudos if I could. So you've seen some horror movie from the 80's, you're really funny.

Less Saw, more Leprechaun

Darren Lynn Bousman, director of Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV, would like to do a Leprechaun movie according to this article written by some smarmy bitch at Dread Central. Yeah the article is annoying, but the quotes are good. Fuck you new jack!

with friends like these...

movies being remade for us:

A Nightmare on Elm Street (not written yet), Friday the 13th, Near Dark, and The Birds all by Platinum Dunes.

Also Prom Night has been remade, and soon, The Stepfather, both from the same TV director.

some of the news not fit 2 print

Hi! Long time no writing. I know.

Today I was lucky enough to be invited to check out a bunch of posters in the back room of a certain Hollywood memorabilia shop. They were getting rid of these for a buck – all genres, all countries, all eras. I bought 32. I can’t remember what, but I know there was Reform School Girls, Women’s Prison Massacre, Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell, Gremlins, Nightmare on Elm Street 4, Maximum Overdrive, and a poster of Kurtis Blow that reads “Blow is Back.”

Let’s see, let’s see. I go to real college now as a film major, but am still dealing with a bunch of upper division general-ed junk. I’ll have to attend a lot of screenings for a criticism course and sadly I don’t think they project 35mm prints. Theater is excellent though.

I’m sorry if I’ve written these next two paragraphs before… I forget…

I’ve fallen out of love with the New Beverly as it has been swamped with fan boys who bring out double deluxe edition DVDs for their favorite current directors (in the audience) to sign. The upcoming Eli Roth-programmed festival ain’t gonna make things any better – though the line-up is of course amazing including Torso, Pieces, Mother’s Day, etc...

Also pretty girls and attractive couples have been attending screenings. It just used to be me and the dirty old bastards. Fuck all you hipsters. Get lost.

There are now two Grindhouse shows a month and maybe two of Phil’s midnight movies. Great programming, but I’ll do just about anything to avoid the fanboyz whose type I gotta see in film class anyway.

I did catch the touching Bob Clarke tribute around Christmas with of course Black Christmas (no I did not cry). The speech mad by the kid who played the bully from A Christmas Story was by far the drunkest and most profane in Grindhouse guest history. It did not go over well and almost everything does – so, good job man.

Made the mistake of going to a midnight opening of Cloverfield at the Mann’s Chinese where they had the headless Statue of Liberty out front. I talked to some of the people in line, all of whom had bought tickets in advance, and I swear I don’t know how these people can even cross the street without helmets. Talk about fanboy retards…

And the movie was gay..

I had no idea it was gonna be a shaky-cam movie. Do I live under a rock? Sorry fan boy dick sucker, but I at least try and get out and get some action while you sit in front of the monitor and resemble the ain’t-it-cool news guy a bit more each day.

Sweeney Todd at the Vista

I think everyone in LA has seen a free screening of Sweeney Todd. I got there too late for the all goth/AFI fan screening at the Chinese Theater and they were gracious enough to give me a guaranteed pass to an all-yuppie screening the following week at the Vista Theater. Oddly the yuppie audience was more annoying than the Hot Topic crowd – the things I overhead…

I don’t get the critical praise for this one. The last half hour is fun, but leading up to it is pure boredom and some pretty sappy songs not sung all that well. Johnny Depp looks like a brooding Edward Scissorhands and Helena Bonhan Carter even walks about like one of those puppets in Burton’s stop motion films.

I’d skip it man, fuck this.

Quentin Tarantino introduced Ishtar last night

I’ll be quick, I’ve been to many screening at the New Beverly lately and they just keep getting better and better. Ishtar played secretly last night after Bugsy Malone and Phantom of the Paradise. It was a late night ending at 3:45 where only a handful of people, including Quentin Tarantino, singer/songwriter Paul Williams, Edger Wright (Shaun of the Dead), and Beat the Geeks Movie Geek remained. Eli Roth cut out early before Ishtar.

Edgar Wright’s take on people on the internet wondering why they would screen films that “everyone has on DVD.”

He had two words: “Fuck you.”

A little more from me on Ishtar and Tarantino.

P2 – early Christmas

You know I like Christmas horror (this year there will be a Black Christmas/Silent Night, Deadly Night double feature at the New Beverly) and I guess it is coming early in theaters with P2.

Trapped in a parking garage on Christmas Eve for Christmas dinner, that is the story. I don’t wanna give anything away, so my synopsis is that short, you probably did your research anyway. It will be interesting to see if this movie focuses on just two characters or others will be involved. Hmmmm.

Comes out the 9th.
