Ranty Ranterson and the knotheads

Okay, nuff said about the above. But my how I love when Dave gets pissed off!
Golly Ms. Molly. I sure do know how to piss off the Jensen fans. Well, some of them anyway. Them which I will from now on refer to as “Military Jensen” or perhaps “Force 10 from Ackles” or better yet, “Saving Jensen’s Privates”. Either way, they come down on you like a ton of Winchesters if they feel you have wronged their man. And why pray tell? What did wittle oh me do to piss’em off? To deserve such hateful emails? Such venom?

Simple. I suggested in my personal (although slightly public) journal that the Acktor would make a great Rex in the movie version of Nightmare Academy. Meant no harm. Meant no offense. But apparently the militant faction of the New Jensen Nation considers his acting in a kid’s movie beneath him. Well. Shame. On. Me. Thank you sooo much for correcting my misguided self. Consider my opinion changed! And while we’re at it, what in the world were Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, John Hurt, Jason Isaacs, Kenneth Branagh, John Cleese, David Thewlis, Michael Gambon, Julie Christie, Timothy Spall, Emma Thompson, Miranda Richardson, Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes and Alan Frackking Rickman thinking? That silly little Harry Potter thing was soooooo beneath them.
EDIT: It is the wee hours on the morning of my daughter’s second birfday and my little email account has been flooded so I thought I’d jump on here and thank everyone for the well wishes…and…offers to hunt down those that may have wronged me. Thank you. Not necessary but thank you. As I mentioned in a comment to Reaper, the majority of the emails concerning my last post were positive. But three were negative and two were…well, more than a little nasty. So, that said, of the millions of Jensen supporters I guess I lashed out at two. Hey. I was pissed. I’m human. :) But I should have made the numbers clear. My bad. In truth I’m diggin the majority of you knuckleheads and can honestly say I’ve made some lifelong friends in the fanpool since this journey began. In fact, I even secretly navigated a couple of you to the set during the shoot (safe to say now I suppose since the shoot is over). Anyway, thanks again. Warmed my bitter heart to have so many of you willing to go to war on my behalf. But all is well. Don’t go hurtin’ nobody. :)

And since I’m now in a nefarious mood I might as well continue ranting. So my buddy Patrick gives an interview in which the questioner asked if Patrick had thought about a sequel to Bloody Valentine. Patrick was honest. There was no positioning or PR or press releases. He simply said, yeah, we’d thought about it. We’d talked about it. Spend six to twelve months together and you talk about alot of stuff. But the next thing I know dozens of sites are reporting, “Director already talking sequel! And commenters are tossing in their 2 cents, “Wow, it’s too early to be thinking sequel.” Well, let’s see. We just spent six months to a year of our lives making a movie that we happen to like. With actors we happen to like. And in that six to twelve month period if we discuss a sequel, if we talk ideas, isn’t that a good thing? Isn’t it good to be prepared? Or should we wait to see if the movie is a success and then phone it in cuz by that point there’s no real time to meet the arbitrary studio imposed deadlines that will no doubt crop up due to industry greed? Matrix II and III anyone?
You tell me. What would have been the correct answer? Patrick, have you thought about a sequel? NO! Someone mentioned the word sequel and I immediately shouted NO. For the love of Jesus and all the little children in the world, DO NOT talk about a sequel until the movie has been released and we get clearance from the blowhard know-it-alls in the world!
If you take issue with my attitude then I say to you what I said to J3ns3ngirl71, “Lose my email.”
So, what’s new in Bloody Valentine news? Well, I’ve seen several cuts of the film and it just keeps getting better and better. And I just watched the trailer this morning! Oh. My. I’m geeking out! It’s 1996 again and I just saw Arnold driving onto the Universal Lot with his stoggie. Needless to say, I am on the north end of excited.

A month or so back I popped into LA to be interviewed for the documentary, “His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th”. It was fun but I don’t think any amount of time will change my opinion about Jason X. It could/should have been better. Yes, I know there are some out there who love it. Some who have had their lives changed for the better due to the dramatic influence of Jason X. And that’s great. But if you liked it that much then you would have had a mental orgasm had you seen the flick we were going to make.
Monkey’s Paw is in the hunt for a director. In fact, there is a meeting going on as I type this. I’ll leave it at that for now.

And I AM writing Devil’s Commandos. No. Really. Just kept getting distracted. I’m on it. The above poster was designed by Tim Bradstreet, who, by the way, is co-writing this mammoth bit-o-Awesome with me. It is sooo much fun. I don’t want to get too detaily but it’s a world war II meets the Twilight Zone sort of story. Tom’s off shooting a pilot but his plan is to direct as he did with Dark Country.

Two days away from Izzie Rain turning two years old. She has asked that we spend the weekend pwning gnomes. We said okay, just this once.
And by the way, if I don’t pay my phone bill they turn off the phone. It’s pretty cut and dry. Nobody BAILS me out. I don’t have some magical Auntie who swoops in and buys me a house and pays for all my bills. And knowing me, I wouldn’t take it if offered. 700 billion? Seriously? You see, there’s this little thing called economic reality. You can put a 700 billion dollar bandaid on the problem but it’s similar bandaids that put us in this silly fix in the first place. Half a million dollar homes were selling for over a million in California and nobody thought that was a red freaking flag? Morons. “Oh but the housing market always fluxuates. It goes up and down and even if it drops it will go back up.” Imbiciles. I remember back during the big frenzy in LA our Real Estate Scumbag actually had the hairy balls to tell me that it was okay to overextend because you always make more and more money. I have not seen or heard from her in years but I certainly hope she’d dead. Oh I’m sorry. Did I get off on a tangent? Teehee.
Where was I?

Heh, ain’t she darlin? I’m tired and wore out. I’m heading home. Oh great news concerning Monkey’s Paw and the director but that’s a story for later.
Love you all. Mean it.
