Current mood:  amused
I'm here in Chicago after having visited the set of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and figured I might as well stay awhile. My brother is moving to Miami at the end of the month to pursue his doctrine (yay, he can support me!) and I figured I might as well enjoy the next few weeks with him and it will be the last time we can just randomly go, "Wanna drink? Wanna watch a movie? Wanna go randomly drive around like assholes bored?" So my short trip turned into a long one as I'll be here until July 18th. The second I get home I need to prepare for Comic Con, which has become the most dreadful 5 days of the year. I know, I know, from your perspective I'm a whiny bitch, but if you only knew how much work (not fun) it is to cover, you'd be feeling some sympathy. Following Comic Con it's back to Chicago for two weddings (yep, Blueteamno is getting married) and then off to Toronto (maybe) for Midnight Madness, back to LA for the month of October (madnesssss) and then AFM in November. No rest for the wicked.

So, I've been busy and out of my element, which is my latest excuse for lack of blog entries. Plus, it's hard to focus when all of your friends are just a short car ride away. Yesterday Tom and I played some basketball, worked on our skills. I'm looking to get signed in the off-season. I think with my vertical I have a good shot, what do you think?


For those of you keeping tab, ELM STREET was doing some shooting in Gary, IN, which was the day we visited. After the shoot my brother and I drove to the Jackson's old house on 2300 Jackson Street in Gary. The town is deserted and quite sad, I wonder what it was like when Michael and co. grew up there. Below is my crappy cell phone picture of his house; can you believe 8 people lived in that box? Insane.


I'm fairly sick of the people who are acting like such assholes about Michael Jackson's death. If you didn't like his music, fine, but what he did for African Americans is so tremendous. And to sit there and point your finger at him and call him a child molester is such a load of crap, especially if you call yourself American. That's the problem with this country and paparazzi and TMZ and all that sh*t, everyone is guilty until proven innocent. The fact that MJ was accused and never convicted doesn't matter, because you know, people don't take advantage of each other on a daily basis. I'm waiting for the Culkin or Feldman to speak out, and until they do…

Anyways, I personally have a lot of good family memories that revolve around him. He brought us together on many occasions from seeing Captain EO to camping around the couch after The Simpson's for the debut of Black or White. I grew up on Thriller, Bad and Dangerous and my early love for horror came from the Thriller video. I'd say Michael is the first celebrity that died that hit me a little bit. I always take the stance that they're just people and I don't know then, don't care about them and have my own friends and family to worry about. But Michael was someone who was a part of our family in the sense that it brought us together. So f*ck ya'll who don't like it.

On the brighter side of things, last night we got together in Slice's basement to watch The State. Yup, you heard me right, The State is finally coming to DVD this July 14 (get it here) and I got my grubby little hands on the entire collection already. For those of you unaware of this classic MTV skit show, it featured Tom Lennon (Hancock, Reno 911 and tons more), Robert Ben Garant (Reno 911), David Wain (Role Models, The Ten, The State, Wet Hot American Summer), Michael Ian Black (Reno 911, Stella, The Ten, Wet Hot American Sumer, I Love the 80's), Kevin Allison (Reno 911) and more. Here's Amazon's description: The State was simply one of the sharpest, funniest, and most under-rated shows of the 1990's. Originally created as MTV's first foray into the sketch comedy genre, The State was a comedic gem that rocked Generation X with slapstick, smarts and witty sarcasm. The dynamic cast features 11 multi-talented actors that have continued to collaborate on such projects such as Reno 911!, Stella, Viva Variety and Wet Hot American Summer. MTV's timeless sketch comedy show, The State, is finally here.

FACT.

Speaking of funny, how hilarious is it that Variety continues to steal news from our website, and various others. I give mad props to The Hollywood Reporter for giving us credit on the AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON remake news, but Variety just straight up plagiarized us. I know a lot of other sites are sick of it too, one even joked about starting Varietystoleourews.com and linking up all pieces of evidence. I think that would be hilarious. The fact of the matter is it does nothing for our traffic, but it's nice street cred to show that your site is on top of your sh*t and not making crap up. Speaking of, anyone who says we make our scoops up can suck it. ALIEN, PREDATORS, POLTERGEIST, ELM STREET, AMERICAN WEREWOLF... we broke the news here on Bloody-Disgusting. But hey, I guess we made that up ROFL.

In other horror news, we're not doing anymore HorrorHound Weekends. Instead, we're getting behind Ultimate Horror Con, which will have its first show in Chicago this September 11-13 before moving to Indianapolis, IN. The best part of that show is the appearance by American Olivia (yes, the crazy hot nude chick from the opening of FRIDAY THE 13TH and star of BITCH SLAP). People who pre-order can score free autographs and DVDs, details on the site.

Let's see, what else is going on? Did you guys hear the new Alice in Chains single? Yeah, I know, it's Alice without Layne, but Jerry wrote most of the music and even sang a ton of vocals (sounded very similar to Layne). You can get the single at the official website, tell me what you think. I think it's actually pretty 90's awesome.

Then there's the new The 69 Eyes track "Dead Girls Are Easy" (listen here) that's got that some-ol' pin-up girl metal/punk blend that I love. I'm so excited for the new album, I like to think of them as Type O Negative if they hadn't started to suck ass.

Anyways, I got stuff to do, so I'll leave you with this. I saw ANTICHRIST. How jealous are you?

I saw a report on TMZ, errr I mean CNN about Twittering vs blogging. The silly reporter with his snarky smile and fake hair reported that twittering is the new blogging and that bloggers will be a thing of the past (already). A: Thanks God I’m not a blogger and B: He’s 100% right. Every since Twitter I find myself writing less blogs because I’m throwing my thoughts out there immediately and therefore forgetting about them for my blog. Either way, I’m still going to continue writing as I enjoy doing so. It’s finding the time that’s the hard part. Did you see the amount of news that hit from Friday through this evening? Jesus man, I didn’t stop to breathe. Since it’s been so long since I wrote a blog, I’m going to have to work backwards through my memory, so I’ll start with yesterday. Flash back like six years ago (I think?) - my brother comes home with a demo CD of a band by the name of 30 Seconds to Mars. He says, “Just listen, don’t ask any questions.” It blew my friggin’ mind. When he revealed to me that I had just rocked out to Jared Leto’s band, I threw up a little in my mouth (even though I’ve grown to really like the guy over the years, especially after how nice he was at Sundance). It took 6 months to a year for the album to finally hit stores, from then on out I’ve been a super fan. Anyways, yesterday they held a little thing called “The Summit” at the Avalon in Los Angeles, CA. We had no idea what it was, but figured maybe we’d get to hear some new tunes early. It turns out that the band was recording fans chants for their forthcoming tentatively titled album “The War”. It was pretty awesome because we got to sing the chorus, intros and outros to a bunch of the tracks. The best way to describe what I heard was old-school 80’s U2 meets Angels and Airwaves meets 30 Seconds to Mars. The sections of the tunes were catchy, fun and freakin’ loud. We got burnt out after three hours and bailed, but it was still a pretty fun experience. Sticking on the theme of music, last week we scored all-access passes to see Avenged Sevenfold. It’s funny how out of my element I felt, as typically I have special stuff for movies, but never for music. Apparently we could have walked on stage if we wanted to, but instead we watch the show from the front of the stage. The theater out here is INSANE as they had two monster HD screens that I would have done anything for back in the day when I had to see bands like Metallica from the last f*cking row. The concert was at the Nokia Theater, which was located next to the Staples Center, a place I had been going to quite a lot over the past month. My friend Brandon took us to the final Laker’s game of the season where we watched the Jazz get pummeled. I also went to see The Clippers play The Blazers, The Cavs and The Celtics, all pretty astounding games. There’s nothing like watching the worst team in the league beat one of the best and see Lebron bring the Cavs back from 19 down to win it all. The only thing that sucks are some of the drunk assholes who get tickets to games. At the Lakers game the guy next to us woudnt shut the f*ck up the entire game. Every single time the Jazz had the ball he’d yell, “ ‘D’ it up, ‘D’ it up!” It was obnoxious. The worst was every single time the ball went out of bounds he’d scream, “Our ball, our ball.” They gave us those blow up noise makers for when the Jazz shoot free throws and he was playing with those like he was a two-year-old. The best was we left with under two minutes left cause the game was over and he actually says to us, “some fans you are.” Luckily I didn’t hear it because there WOULD have been a fight. At the Blazers-Clippers game, it was even worse. Instead of re-writing the story, here’s a letter I sent to my ticket agent at the arena: “Thanks again for the tickets this season, but I unfortunately have to end the season on a bad note. I'm an avid sports fan and go to a lot of games and have NEVER in my life experienced what I experienced tonight. You might even know who the tickets were sold to, but there was a group of people around our section (rows 8 and 9 assuming they were in the right seats) that we OUT OF CONTROL. From the beginning to the very last second of the game these low class pieces of trash were throwing popcorn, spilling beer on people, putting their feet on the seats and kicking people's heads and STANDING UP non-stop. They'd walk back and forth, jump seats, our just stand there taking to each other. The worst part was that they weren't even watching the game. The entire conversation consisted of extreme verbal usage ranging from F*CK (I counted 37 times in 5 minutes) to B*TCH ASS. They would scream stories about f*cking a chick to throwing up all over some "bitch asses" car. Security was notified by us 3 times and by others on various other occasions. The security guards would come up, say something and then leave, or take one of them downstairs with them and then the jerk would return a few minutes later and continue what they were doing before. When the security guards were there they put on the smiles, and the second they left they'd scream "f*ck those punks, I'll do whatever I want." It's one thing to end up next to a bunch of idiots, but it's another to spend $136 on tickets and not have security do a damn thing about it. There were kids everywhere with parents holding their ears! Why these people weren't escorted out of the arena on the FIFTH return to the seats is INSANE. Were they scared of an altercation? Why did we have to be punished? Isn't that was security is for?” It was out of control and ruined the entire night. It’s sh* like this that makes we want to stay home and watch the game on HD TV. Why even leave? It’s the same with theaters. I’m starting to more and more fall into the category of “wait ‘till DVD,” just so I don’t have to deal with all the little sh*ts talking through the entire thing and “twittering”. Speaking of DVDs, I wanted to share my prediction with all of you, on the state of DVD/home entertainment. It appears to me that the number of low budget independent productions are dwindling. There seem to be less and less direct-to-disc Lionsgate movies and more high caliber releases. But the thing is, everyone is losing money hand over fist and the odds of selling your indie film is slim-to-none. The markets are silent as sales are lower than ever before. Things are changing for the better, but it’s going to be a few years before anything locks in as the new medium. The only real good thing is that these “times” are forcing all these bull crap companies to stop making bad movies just to make a quick buck. Companies like Lionsgate will be releasing less and less of the garbage and will be focusing on higher quality content. It’ll be good for us, but bad for their business. But hey, things are a changing and new technology is always awesome. I can’t wait to see where we end up. Speaking of new media and home entertainment. Tim Anderson and David Harley are going to head our DVD/Blu-ray section, if we ever get around to spicing it up a bit. There’s just so much on our plate, like our new video player we’ve been beta testing the past few weeks. I’m really excited to get a new player locked and loaded – while nobody watches videos, it’s nice to stay ahead of the curve and have a place to share trailers and clips. One of the highlights of this past weekend was watching COOL AS ICE, which was so bad it's good. If you have a chance you must check this out. I nearly died when Vanilla Ice says, "Cool out man, I'm coolin'!" It reminded me of David Harley's blog where he saw MC Hammer (can;t we call him McHammer?). Now I'm just rambling.... Technically I could write a book right now, but I’ll leave you with this: the memory of Rebecca Gayheart in the Noxema commercials. We used to think she was the hottest girl on TV. Then she starred in SCREAM 2. Eck.

Monday morning, the day after the latest HorrorHound Weekend, I'm back in Chicago and finally catching up on some work. I've still got some sort of "bug" and have been coughing here and there and keep losing my voice. The drive home wasn't an easy one as there was dead-stop traffic halfway home. Why? This sh*t always pisses me off. Just like when we drove to Indianapolis, one of the two lanes were closed down for construction. For about 15 miles there were orange canisters blocking the left lane and forcing loads of traffic into a single lane. It was painful. The most frustrating part of it was that there was ONE guy with a slow sign and one little machine plowing in the middle by the grass - two people, barely working, causing thousands of people to be jammed into traffic. The worst part was the right lane was massive and they could have easily forced the shoulder into a lane avoiding all of the BS.

So beyond that frustration, the weekend went without a hitch. It was the highest attendance of all of the events as it was packed door to door for nearly every hour of every day. We screened some incredible movies and partied like there was no tomorrow at night. This was like the fourth show in Indiana, so we had a nice group of friends we always see there. My fav group of peeps were James, Brandon and Chad, who I wish we were able to hang with more. Being at a convention all day and then trying to hang out at night is tiring as all hell.

All weekend John Kassir was making announcements over the PA as "The Cryptkeeper", which gave me chills. Tales from the Crypt is one of the pinnacles of my horror life and to see him in the flesh acting as The Cryptkeeper was pretty damn epic. Another highlight was watching Corey Haim sing to some Doors songs played acoustically. I think he thought he looked cool, but we all thought it was f*cking hilarious. "We're not laughing with you, we're laughing AT you." It's so weird seeing him as such a mess, especially since he was my favorite of the two Corey's in the 80's. LICENSE TO DRIVE? Who hasn't seen that? If you haven't, get on it ASAP. DREAM A LITTLE DREAM on the other hand, yikes, Feldman, what the hell? You're NOT Michael Jackson.

Derek Mears (your new Jason Voorhees) had a massive line non-stop and you could constantly hear people exclaiming (he's the nicest guy I have ever met). It's not easy meeting thousands of fans and keeping it cool.

The highlight of my weekend was Saturday night, after some "pre-drinking", we were hanging out by the event party when one of my buddies comes running up red in the face and laughing. "Dude, you wanna see people speaking in tongues?" My response, "HELL-F*CKING-YES!" So we run upstairs to the third floor where we hear a room of people screaming and chanting at the top of their lungs (you might get to hear some of it on the Dead Pixels podcast coming soon. "Creepy, it sounds like Gizmo is in there," Andrea exclaimed. Another guys also yelled that he thought Gizmo was dying. I have never heard anything like this in all my life. The craziest part was I think they enjoyed people popping in as they had their door opened enough to where you could peek in and see the madness unfold. My brother sent me an article awhile back that showed how they scientifically proved that all these people are doing is speaking in "baby talk", which is a string of vowels (your brain processor is slow). You can read a little about it here.

Following the events on floor 3, I worked my way down to the lobby where we were hanging out with some B-D fans. One gent had a pretty cool tattoo that he was showing off to my friend Kiel. It was a tattoo of Ariel (from LITTLE MERMAID) stoned, playing video games. He says to Kiel, "Do you like Disney movies?" Kiel says, "Kind of," to which he continues, "What about smoking pot?" Keil's response, "sometimes." "How about video games?" As Kiel smiles and enthusiastically screams "hell yes" we all look to the right as a quarrel is taking place. The second I glance to my right I see a fist connect right into the nose of another guest. I stand up and get behind them as they are barreling into each other on top of a giant plant. They spring up and as they pass me, the girlfriend of one of the guys smacks a bottle on the back of the head of the other dude. Glass explodes in my face and beer flies all over Kiel. Another bottle zooms between us as we avoid it MATRIX-style. Blood is everywhere and then two security guards tackle the dudes and work ‘em apart. One guys is gushing blood from his nose and the other had cuts all over his face (we'll hopefully have some bloody photos for you guys in the next week).

The cops finally show up and one guy is bleeding all over the tile floor. The manager is screaming insults at the dude bleeding and freaking out over the blood. I just wanted to scream, "It's f*cking tile dude, mop it the f*ck up." But the best part of the fight is what happens next, as the brother of the guy who got a bottle to the back of the head shows up. "What happened?" he exclaims, before falling to the ground in convulsions. I'm not exaggerating when I say that he screamed "I'm having a seizure!," which is IMPOSSIBLE when you're actually having a seizure. Someone helps him up (another sign of a fake seizure) and he sits in a chair shaking. It was pretty epic.

I was pretty pissed that the girlfriend smacked someone with a bottle and wanted to give a statement. That's assault with a deadly weapon and had it not "popped" miraculously (maybe it was the people speaking in tongues that saved him) he could have died, or even been paralyzed. I hadn't said a single thing during all the clean up and before I left I told the cop I wanted to give my statement before I went to bed. He screamed at me to fuck off and go away NOW. I said, "She assaulted him and I want it in a statement in case he takes her to court." He says to me, "Shut the fuck up, turn around, walk the fuck away and don't say another word – or I'll arrest you." WTF? Seriously. The guy on the floor told me to not to worry, so I bailed. But what a crazy, crazy evening.

I've been in Chicago for a little over a week now, so I still haven't had a chance to see THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT. The trailer looks awesome, but my friends all say it sucks ass. Tom and I are going to go tonight, so hopefully it's at least OK. Last week I saw KNOWING, which I was dying to see ever since Eli Roth and Richard Kelly were working on it. While the movie is horrible cheesy and about 45 minutes too long, it was still pretty entertaining. The bleak ending maybe even better, although the other half of the ending was such a cheesefest Wisconsin was jealous. It's almost a beautiful disaster and I highly recommend watching with some friends and beer.

I know it's idiotic, but I couldn't sleep Thursday night because I was so excited for the new Marilyn Manson song that was going to be released on Friday. After the disaster that was "Eat Me, Drink Me", I could only hope this would be a better album. But the facts are right there on the net:

Exhibit A: Evan Rachel Wood is gone (thank God) and Manson is once again focused.
Exhibit B: Manson had stated that he wrote ‘Eat Me, Drink Me" in a week after coming "out of retirement."
Exhibit C: He's been working on this album for quite some time and has put his feature film PHANTASMAGORIA on hold to finish it. There's passion and effort behind it.
Exhibit D: Twiggy is back.
Exhibit E: This is the first album Twiggy has recorded "all the strings" since the epic "Antichrist Superstar".

It's all there, and more. The first single, "We're From America" is pretty solid and sounds like something off of "Mechanical Animals". But what got me really excited were the demo tracks that leaked on to YouTube for "Four Rusted Horses" and "Arma God Damn Mother F*cking Geddon", two tracks that I think are god-damn-mother-f*cking-astounding. I'll embed them below for you guys to enjoy, alongside "We're From America." What do you guys think?
