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.

“Brotherhood of the Wolf”, now that was refreshingly fun. Mel and I had a blast.

New Year. New Dreams. I sent 45 pages to Hensleigh. Haven’t heard back yet. I did sign my portion of the contracts. Soon as Hensleigh signs I’ll see a small chunk of cash.
