Tomorrow’s the big day…well, tonight rather. The screening went…I don’t know. I couldn’t tell if the audience liked it or not. They seemed real quiet. Ugh, I think we’re gonna get creamed. Hensleigh sent and very nice email. Said he would be buying two tickets tomorrow night. I actually thought it was sort of funny. He didn’t say he’d go, just that he’d buy tickets. Not really his kind of movie. The plan is to see it with the Loreys and Noel and John Jerrell and Wimmer and a couple of Mel’s friends. I think we’re gonna hit Universal. In less than 24 hours we’ll know whether or not I’m a hero or a big friggin dummy.
The Radio Screening
Well, a flick like Jason X doesn’t exactly get a big premiere, what we get is a radio station sponcered screening. That’s Thursday night. Ugh. I don’t want to go. Last time I saw it I didn’t like it and I was several Vodka’s into numbness. Jimmy and David and Sean and Kane will be there so I can’t exactly blow it off. And Jonathan Potts is flying in from Canada to see it with us. He played Yllo (which later became Lowe because everyone was too stupid to make the Y silent). Jonathan’s a good guy. We’ve been chatting through email. He could use a hit himself. The other two leads now have their Sci-Fi TV show and some of the others have moved on to bigger things but Jonathan’s been struggling I think. Hrmph, I’m still struggling, I think.
The Great Escape
Mel and I are going to Disney tomorrow to get away from all the Jason X worry.
Interviews
I have been doing a bunch of interviews. Nothing to write home to momma about…mostly internet stuff. But it’s still fun. I’m sure by the second flick I will have lost all interest in media promotion. But for now and since it’s been such a long freaking road, it’s sort of nice to be the center of attention.
Sent more pages to Hensleigh. Would be great to get a draft of “Riddle” at least readable in case Jason creates some hype.
