Holy shit!!! After 7 goddamned years, I'd given up on this particular project!
It's.....
Scream, Queen:
My Nightmare on Elm Street (2019??)
Formerly "There Is No Jesse".
Here's the long and winding road with this one.
I scapbooked it the whole way.
- Original announcement of "There Is no Jesse" (2011)
- Some updates in my 29th anniversary review of the Nightmare franchise (2013)
- Some more updates (they secured a director, anyway) (2014)
- They allegedly finished shooting (WTF happened to that!?!?) (2015)
- The title changed to "Scream, Queen". (2015)
- They finished up, and just needed a Kickstarter for bonuses (2015)
- (Again, WTF happened to that!?!?)
- They were still in editing (and I noted it took 2 years to edit "I Am Nancy") (2016)
- Big long announcement that they were still editing (2017)
So, here's the latest Facebook post from them.
Watching the latest #screamqueendoc edit with @markpattonnoes2 and fighting back tears as end credits roll. I think we have a winner on our hands. Who’s ready?!?
Holy shit!! Could it be?!?!?!
Could they...could they be DONE?!!?!
Could this really be happening?!?!?!?!
If it is, and I finally get to buy this thing, I'll do a big recap of all the documentaries I wanted, and finally got.
Cuz the Pet Sematary one is finally within reach.
And I picked away at a bunch of the other ones.
Another old-ass project I finally get to wrap up!!
Hooo-fucking-ray!!!!!

I watched "The Shape Of Water" today. I'm not very impressed. Few surprises in the main love story, which isn't very impressive anyway, you can totally tell where it's all going. When the movie isn't surprising, we get totally out-of-touch stuff like the fish-man biting a cat's head off, and weird ruminations on 1950s life, for some reason. The fish-man also isn't a very interesting fish-man. And man, does Michael Shannon ever ham it up as the bad guy, even worse than in "Man Of Steel." Of course it has the usual great production design but who cares. Geez, how many Del Toro films do I even love anyway? Like one!!! ("Cronos.")
Didn't you say once you wanted a gill-man movie? Like when you did that rant on your old site about Dracula, and mocked Goths for following trends, and said "Why not START a trend instead of FOLLOWING one?" because you wanted a Gill-man movie? Well TSOW is a gill-man movie...
...oh and guess what else I watched, all the way through this time, after all these years.
"Super Mario Bros." the 1993 movie.
It's nothing more than a totally overexpensive chase movie through a bunch of CYBERPUNK sets!! The movie's visual aesthetic looks like someone wanted to make "Blade Runner" or "Total Recall" for TEN YEAR OLDS!!! Almost nothing in the movie comes from the video game, either! Hilarious. (The movie isn't actually as awful as you've been told--still not good, but certainly still nowhere near as unwatchable as, say, "Batman & Robin.")
Oh, and, DENNIS HOPPER AS KING KOOPA = TRUMP. I'm serious--the performance was OBVIOUSLY modelled after Trump. (But wasn't Hopper a Republican by then...?)
Shit, that's right, I did joke about a Gill-Man movie.
Both in the goth rant, and in my making fun of Twilight over the years.
Del Toro got my letter to Santa.
He often gets mistaken for Santa.
Re: SMB the movie.
More ridiculous than the movie itself is Nintendo still bneing gun shy to try another movie.
We're in a geek renaissance, now's the time to go for it.
The Castlevania Netflix show is awesome.
Good conversions CAN be done.
Doesn't have to be Mario, could be Kirby or Metroid.
Yes, Hopper-Koopa is Trump, and so is Max Shreck from "Batman Returns".
And Alternate-Future-Biff from "Back To The Future II".
I've heard that apparently the "Metroid" series no longer sells in Japan and is kind of defunct now? That's weird, and I've been told it was because of all the cinematic cut scenes in one of the most recent games, that are apparently so bad they stop the game dead in its tracks? I'm going by second hand knowledge here.
I know we're getting a new Mario movie but it's apparently to be animated.
Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo both called the 1993 film so bad and poorly handled by its directors (did you know the directors were the people behind MAX HEADROOM? I'm not making this up!!) that they took to drinking themselves stupid during the shoot and both have called it the worst thing they ever did. Hell, you can watch the movie and Leguizamo clearly does NOT give a shit about the movie he's making!
KIRBY is still going? Really? Wow. I loved "Kirby's Dream Course"!! Wish someone would make a movie out of that...well no, I don't but...
Here's one for you....
...."Die Hard"?
The original, from 1988?
I'm rewatching it now and some of it honestly hasn't held up that well--it's stunningly long winded and talky by today's standards, which could be both a good and bad thing. I guess it's still overall pretty good. Did you ever care for it, or that series? The second film is almost funny with how much Renny Harlin directs it like a sadistic super violent asshole. I haven't rewatched the third or the fourth.
