It’s April! No foolin! “Jason X” comes out this month. I’ll either be a hero or a friggin looser for life. We’ll see. Look, Ma, I’m writin movies for a living! It’s been in the can for, what? Two years? Well we wrapped two years ago. The whole freakin story is on the net so who knows what will happen. The movie is a huge Kazaa download. Why spend ten bucks when a fast internet connection can have it for free? Looks like we’re up against Angelina Jolie. She’s awful perty. But she’s not the worry. The worry is “Scorpion King”. Dwain “The Rock’s” new action flick. The Rock is gonna still be strong the second weekend and will probably kick our tails. I think you can bet on that. And the following week “Spiderman” unleashes and will squash us into complete nothingness. We got one shot and that’s to have a decent weekend. Jimmy’s thinking 20 million. BAH, I’f that happens I’ll join a monk’s order and spend the rest of my years learning self oral. I’d love to see 10. Not great but it won’t be considered a flop.

Spent an hour on the phone with Riesner. He misses us. Mel and I are gonna see him this weekend.

Well, I hung around all day waiting on Jimmy’s call. Nada. I think Jimmy’s a good guy. I wish he’d fought more for the script but I understand no one was more busy during the shoot than he was. Of course, Sean and Noel should have been the ones fighting for the script…I mean is that not the job of the producers? To back the talent? But that’s not the way it went. Sean and Noel were the ones rewriting the thing. Of course, I can’t ride them too hard because I know at the end of the day they were simply trying to make it better in their opinion and that’s what it all boils down to. Jimmy said he was picking his battles and in the mean time the script got stupider and stupider.

Jim Isaac’s in town today. He’s gonna call when he gets here. we’re gonna talk about what the two of us might be able to do in order to cash in on whatever hype “Jason X” may create.

So the network guy showed up to install the network on this new computer. Now there was a time when I knew computers front to back. I could tear the sumbitches apart and have them back together and working even faster within an hour. No more. Technology has run off and left me behind. I’m a big friggin dummy now. Well, I’m a Godbestowed supergenius compared to this retarded network guy. As soon as this bozo is out of our house I’ll go through and fix everything he’s presently screwing up.
