Can't Wait by calnorso	Aug 16th, 2007 08:11:07 AM
I like that he went for the hard R-rating, and its about time we got a GOOD vampire flick
I like David Slade by Darth Kong	Aug 16th, 2007 08:14:52 AM
He's changed a lot since TOMMY BOY and JUST SHOOT ME though hasn't he?
Hard Candy is incredible by DirkD13"	Aug 16th, 2007 08:23:34 AM
Can't wait to see what Slade does with this.
Again - copy editing, anyone?? by Steve Rogers	Aug 16th, 2007 08:29:31 AM
"I had them right it into my contract" - Come on Quint. "And like so no it was..." seriously dude, we don't need to have syllable, pause and dropped word reproduced verbatim from your tape recorder. The shit is fucking horrible to read. Just crop that stuff out.
Neverwhere.. by Duncan Irons	Aug 16th, 2007 08:37:11 AM
I was about to rant about why Quint didn't ask him about Gaiman's Neverwhere when i realized that this interview was made at the con... damn....
Enough of Vampires by TheBloop	Aug 16th, 2007 08:56:59 AM

. . . these 2 interrupted each other?
Man by Quint	Aug 16th, 2007 09:04:23 AM
Lotta talkbackers are cranky this morning... Sorry you couldn't read the interview (notice a lack of quotes because whether you want to believe it or not, I did sit down and ask questions that were answered by another person) because 5% of it was about my head appearing in his movie somewhere. Damn, I'm cranky, too. Time to get some sleep...
umm... by jimmy rabbitte	Aug 16th, 2007 09:08:22 AM
Slade = silly two-hit wonder band, whose biggest claim to fame is that Quiet Riot covered a couple of their songs. Spade(,David) = Saturday Night Live alumnus/ co-star to Chris Farley in Tommy Boy, etc.../ Dennis on "Just Shoot Me." Not to mention a close, personal friend of Heather Locklear... To sum up... Slade: wrote tunes Spade: wrote jokes.
Lucky Thirteenth! by spud mcspud	Aug 16th, 2007 09:16:11 AM
I'm cluthcing at straws here... Movie looks awesome.
Chupacrabras = Critters by spud mcspud	Aug 16th, 2007 09:19:14 AM
Chupa 1: They have weapons. Chupa 2: So what? Chupa 1 gets blown the fuck away. Chupa 2: FUCK! Chupa 2 rolls for his little furry life. Sorry TheBloop, they already made it. Four times. With Leo DiCaprio. Now we need a Skinwlaker Ranch movie. David Slade makes hardcore horror, it seems. Can we get him for a remake of a GOOD Carpenter flick now? How about CHRISTINE? REALLY looking forward to 30 DAYS too. That's a great trailer.
Flying Spaghetti Monster musical = teh awesome by Tubbs Tattsyrup	Aug 16th, 2007 09:21:06 AM
I want.
Quint that was great.. by dr sauch	Aug 16th, 2007 09:29:40 AM
how you stopped him from cutting you off with the point-blank "pirate musical". He didn't cut you off after that. Seriously though, Slade is great and Josh Hartnett is underrated and I can't wait for this.
Deformed vampires? by Abin Sur	Aug 16th, 2007 09:39:22 AM
I dig the idea myself...making them a cross between a shark and a retard is BRILLIANT.
Steve Niles sucks. by Mosquito March	Aug 16th, 2007 09:44:06 AM
And I'm not talking about blood.
Everything about this sounds great. by Wilclas	Aug 16th, 2007 09:46:13 AM
So as the vampire design. Can´t wait.
Only drawback- Harnett. by Judge Briggs	Aug 16th, 2007 09:59:56 AM
You know you're all thinking the same!
Re: Slade (the band) by Steve Rogers	Aug 16th, 2007 10:37:57 AM
Cum On Feel The Noize is a great song. Nuff said.
I'm not much of a gore hound by Bloo	Aug 16th, 2007 10:45:23 AM
but from this interview and what not, you count me interested in this film
jimmy rabbitte by Darth Kong	Aug 16th, 2007 10:49:11 AM
Yeah, thanks for that. I was well aware. Too early for y'all is it?
I interviewed Niles for the magazine I write for by Purgatori	Aug 16th, 2007 10:53:13 AM
Great guy, with a lot of great stuff coming up. I think we're the only magazine that's got this on the cover and not Halloween. This and Sweeney Todd are the only things I'm looking forward to this fall/winter season.
Purgatori... by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Aug 16th, 2007 11:36:08 AM
who is doing Sweeny Todd? Movie? Musical?
Sweeny Todd = Tim Burton by indyit	Aug 16th, 2007 11:52:30 AM
And I loved 30 days of Night, have high hopes for this flick ^^
Good interviews... by Sledge Hammer	Aug 16th, 2007 11:55:53 AM
...you've been doing some quality work of late with this stuff Quint, kudos. You do need a better copy editor though, so many obvious spelling/gramatical mistakes really do take away from the quality of what you're doing a bit. Still both this and the whacked out Fonda interviews were good stuff all the same.
Gatsby by Purgatori	Aug 16th, 2007 12:07:54 PM
it's going to be Burton and it's also a musical. The posters and still that I've seen look amazing. So I have high hopes. He's somehow managed to get that great dark and grey lifeless look from The Corpse Bride to transfer to reality.
Ghoulies > Critters by TheBloop	Aug 16th, 2007 12:41:44 PM
And no, there were no more goat suckers that the Shaggy Dog was werewolf. Count Floyd would back me on that one. AAAWHHHOOOO!
Judge Briggs by skimn	Aug 16th, 2007 12:44:17 PM
In total agreement. Outside of Luck Number Sleven, Hartnett's been totally "meh" as far as I'm concerned. He's basically Josh Brolin with a better agent.
I thought it said "David Spade." by Larry of Arabia	Aug 16th, 2007 12:45:20 PM
I should go back to bed now...
Vampirisim does not exist in this dojo by Cobra--Kai	Aug 16th, 2007 12:50:29 PM
I hope this is better than the original - '30 DAYS OF DAY'. In terms of vampires that movie was a bit of a letdown.
Josh Hartnett = Life Sucker by TheBloop	Aug 16th, 2007 02:08:59 PM
You know this is true
re: Darth Kong by jimmy rabbitte	Aug 16th, 2007 02:12:52 PM
Not at all too early... I was just trying to goof on the similarity of the names... that was all I had at the time ...maybe it was too early after all... ...and for no reason at all, I'll close by saying... Ma-Ma-Mama Weer All Crazee Now!!!!
Alanis gag: Genius! by MaxTheSilent	Aug 16th, 2007 03:26:32 PM
Cool guy. 30 DAYS OF NIGHT looks awesome.
Mysterious Yobo by Purgatori	Aug 16th, 2007 04:49:06 PM
If you want to bash on way too many flicks being made...why don't we start with stoner comedies? But if we did that what would Seth Rogen do for the next ten years? The fact is we NEED a good vampire flick to wash the taint of things like that fucking awful acting done by the dude who played Craven in Underworld. Vampires need what we got when Shaun of the Dead came out for the zombies. And I'm hoping that Benicio Del Toro's Wolfman movie will do for werewolves. Cause god knows, Skin Walkers sucked donkey balls. And before you all start, I actually like Seth Rogen. Just using the insane glut of stoner flicks as an example.
barf by the last starfighter	Aug 16th, 2007 05:32:06 PM
how i want a good vampire movie, but with David Slade directing, most likely this will be shit. Hard Candy is an insult to anybody who knows anybody who has dealt with any form of molestation (despite what you may think, many don't want their perpetrator's balls cut off...violence begets violence, etc.) and the man has directed some of the worst music videos ever. When you work with a band like Muse you would think it would be hard to make creatively lacking videos. 30 Days of Night would be cool if someone better directed.
I totally misread that as David Spade... by PirateEmery	Aug 16th, 2007 05:53:23 PM
...and was rewarded with the funniest image ever.
hard candy by GavinVanDraven	Aug 16th, 2007 07:05:00 PM
was uncomfortable to watch. i hope this "30 days of night" is as good as i thought it would be when i thought it up over 10 years ago. i guess more than one person can come up with the same idea... meh.
Boy, he shot you down. by Daddylonghead	Aug 16th, 2007 10:58:20 PM
Quint: You could add some rainbows or something into it maybe. David Slade: Yeah, so no. I lol'ed at that one.
Story and Character by MediaNerd	Aug 16th, 2007 11:01:59 PM
I liked Hard Candy quite a bit, though it reached too far at times. I really hope all his talk during the interview about character and story focus holds up with this one. Gore for gore is boring, but you add a driving motivation and you have something...
David SLADE?!? Ohhh, I thought you wrote "David SPADE" by MrMysteryGuest	Aug 17th, 2007 01:24:00 AM
When I first read that, I thought "WTF? Spade's in this movie? What's he playing, a vampire, a townie? What?" Then I read it again and I saw David Slade, so I said, "Oh, okay..." But it would be an interesting movie if David Spade was in it, though, and he played it straight! (Yes, I know I'm like the third or fourth person to notice the Slade-Spade deal, but I had to write it -- this was just to funny to leave alone! :) )
Hey- leave Critters alone by Lost Prophet	Aug 17th, 2007 07:49:09 AM
It's just great. How can you not love a film where they fire a rocket launcher at a toilet because there is a "critter" in it.
Bruce Campbell/Mike Richardson interview by TheMostHorrible	Oct 24th, 2007 01:45:08 PM
This Saturday 10/27 at 7 pm pacific, a great interview with Bruce Campbell and Mike Richardson of Dark Horse comics airs on the radio variety show Live Wire, on Oregon Public Broadcasting. If you're local you know where to find it, but the rest of you can listen online at: http://tinyurl.com/ynwbmg (I feel like a tool using tiny url when the real address is www.opb.org much tinier than the tiny, but it seems like the thing to do.) Anyways, there's a link to listen live and it's totally worth a listen. Bruce and Mike talk a lot about "My Name is Bruce", Sam Raimi as an abusive stick wielding director, 30 Days of Night, Hellboy and more. Bruce even steps into some sketch comedy with Faces for Radio Theater and goes OFF on people who like to call him Ash. The musical guest is the band Loch Lomond.
