UPS!! How much do I love the men in Brown when they show up with a giant Cow Box!! Mel and I may be constantly strung out with a need for money but one should never go too long without a top of the line computer.

Michael Goldstein called about “Hounds of Hell”.
I met Goldstein through Noel and we played around with pitching some TV movies around town a couple of years ago. I think we pitched Sci-Fi and USA a couple of ideas and then it just went away.
Anyway, Goldstein did read “Riddle” and liked it enough to send to his former agent, Nicole Clemmens. Nicole read it and liked it and now she’s mine. I’m told I don’t owe Goldstein, that, in fact, Nicole owes him for sending me to her. But I can’t help but feel I owe him. Nicole was by far the best of the agents I met with. She was certainly the most excited about me. And granted her hands-on ways might have made my life tougher but she has gotten me work and I know alot of guys who can’t say that about their agents.
Anyway…Goldstein called about “Hounds”. He’d like to work it into a TV series pitch. Problem is, Dean and I have been talking about writing it as a spec. The original idea was mine but Dean and I talked about it while drunk one night and came up with a great outline for a flick. I’ll talk with Dean and get back to Michael.

Hensleigh and I met about “Riddle”. He’d read my pages, liked them but wants to try a whole new direction. It’s too much to explain at this point but it looks like it’s back to the drawing board for me.

Sigh. Nothing going on. I’m anticipating Jason X’s release or at least keeping my fingers crossed that it will do well. You can never tell. Out loud I’m very confident. But I have my doubts. So much of the story is already on the Internet and many fans have already drawn their conclusions. The biggest surprise of the movie is right in the middle of the freaking poster. Uber-Jason. Or Robotic Jason. Basically I wrote it so that the movie ends and you think it’s over then he comes back yet again but this time he’s part machine. It’s supposed to be a big surprise. To get people talking. But to put it on the poster? That’s like putting the penis on the poster in “Crying Game”. I just don’t get that logic. You should have to go see the movie to see what he looks like. Now you can just download the pic off the net. With the lame new dialog and stupid characters I’m starting to smell a stinker. Hope my career isn’t over the moment it gets started.

I gotta say, I’ve become addicted. Even if the movie sucks I think I’ll continue to hang out there. Is it possible to make real friends online? Noel turned me on to the site before I’d even written page one of Friday part ten. They treat me like an ass and that’s sort of refreshing.
