it would be shit. but i could try. and hope one day this movie is a classic then mine will be a classic by proxy.
SECOND!!! by BringingSexyBack	Jan 28th, 2008 09:26:45 AM
I still think you're the man, Vern. Don't get the recent hate for you ...

everyone take notes I will be calling for interviews soon.
SAG Awards go unnoticed but this doesnt? by krycek08	Jan 28th, 2008 09:32:41 AM
it aint news
Vern by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 09:38:49 AM
you do realize that this guy is going to kill these actors don't you? hahaha
so, he got Tom Cruise to narrarate the promo? by LHombreSiniestro	Jan 28th, 2008 09:38:51 AM
Just listen to this and Tom Cruise nararating "Stanley Kubrick: A Life In Pictures".
Gods bless the guy for trying by Franklin T Marmoset	Jan 28th, 2008 09:41:48 AM
But every time I read his discriptions of what this film is going to be like, I couldn't help but think of that American Movie guy. What happened to Coven, anyway? Did it ever get finished? On a final note, I would like to add that I thought the TCM remake was OK. Not great, not a patch on the original, but pretty enjoyable when compared to its contemporary peers like House Of Wax and Saw and whatnot. Come on, Vern, just relax and give it another go. Set that bag of hatred down, buddy.
Franklin by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 09:45:00 AM
Coven got finished and it is on the American Movie DVD. As a huge TCM fan, i can't agree with you on the remake, i despised that piece of trash.
Thanks, Kloipy by Franklin T Marmoset	Jan 28th, 2008 10:00:27 AM
I may actually check that out. P.S. The remake is OK! I am a fierce and passionate defender of the OKness of that film. I will defend its right to a score of six out of ten with my very life. Alright, maybe not my life, but I will thumb-wrestle anyone who suggests the TCM remake is not slightly better than average!
Coven by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 10:05:27 AM
It's not that good, but I'll give Mark tons of credit because you can tell that dude loves movies and tries to live for his passion so you have to hand it to him. TCM Remake-the problem I have with it is just that it doesn't understand what TCM is all about. It just wants to make Leatherface the new Jason/freddy/MM and it doesn't capture the crazy-ass tone of what made the original so fucking classic and scary. I did like the camera zoom through the headwound though. But otherwise I fucking hated it, and when it ended my theater clapped and I heard people saying that is was the scariest movie they ever saw. And that just depressed me
TCM 2 by MC-909	Jan 28th, 2008 10:16:06 AM
The '86 sequel is a masterpiece. It is by far one of the craziest and most turbo-charged horror films of all time. I can understand some of the hate it gets but good god, that film is one of the most insane mainstream horror films ever released. Chop top scratching skull boogers off his own head and then eating them? What in the fuck is that all about?
MC-909 by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 10:16:43 AM
I agree, that movie is fucking crazy
TCM 2 by Bloo	Jan 28th, 2008 10:53:03 AM
is that the one where Leatherface and Dennis Hopper get into a chainsaw duel?
I'm going to make a movie about the making of the 2003 remake. by Frank The Rabbit	Jan 28th, 2008 10:54:09 AM
It'll be 2 hours of closeups of shit falling into a toilet.
Why don't they make this a musical? by anchorite	Jan 28th, 2008 11:02:33 AM
They can even use the "Barbecue" song from Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas. "Barbecue, it lifts my spirits - I swear that it never fails. But the sauce mom makes just stays there forever if you ever get it under your nails..."
The Remake by Lost Jarv	Jan 28th, 2008 11:10:41 AM
was dogshit, but it is depressingly probably the best of the recent remakes. And that's sad.
"Frogs" remake now! by classyfredblassy	Jan 28th, 2008 11:19:45 AM
With some current CGI effects the frogs could be much more scary. Get'er done, Tim Story.
Casting Gunnar Hanson. by Sprout	Jan 28th, 2008 11:22:17 AM
They should contact Justin Urich, in Monster Man he looks like a young Gunnar.
TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE by palewook	Jan 28th, 2008 11:23:13 AM
someone should do a movie about the real story. b/c TCM is loosely, very loosely based on a real story. so loosely you might say TCM has little to do with the real story of Ed Gein.
"Nobody’s right about anything anymore." by leobloom	Jan 28th, 2008 11:35:31 AM
When was anyone ever right about anything then? Whoever this guy is, his mystical, philosophical way of describing Tx Chainsaw Massacre is really annoying.
This movie was called Summer School by ArcadianDS	Jan 28th, 2008 11:35:33 AM
The guy from the Coors commercials, Mark Hammond, was the teacher - I'm surprised you guys dont remember it.
I think he really wants to make an evil smurf movie by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 11:45:05 AM

It looks pretty interesting by Turd Furgusen	Jan 28th, 2008 11:49:51 AM
I think Vern's right. We'll have to see where he is later in development. I got to thank you Vern. I never really got into TCM, but after reading your posts, I finally sat down and really watched it. I am definitely a fan now. The scene where they pick up the hitcher makes my skin crawl no matter how many times I watch it.
yeah Turd, but this scares me by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 12:00:49 PM
"There’s a specific scene in STB that emphatically represents the title. It’s a fantasy sequence titled (in the script) “Beyond the Blue Wall.” Tobe’s line from the script (that he reads in narration during the scene) is: ”It’s a wall that separates the artists who suffer from the blues from the industry that despises them. It’s hard to bring the two camps together because they’re always fighting for different goals.” That particular scene (visually) will be represented by one very long twelve-foot-high (guarded) brick wall. On one side of the wall is a cliché paradise right out of the most extravagant 1930s Hollywood movie set. It’s like David O. Selznick meets Shangri –la except for the heavily armed guards. On the other side is a murky dark blue circle of hell with one hundred or so vicious creatures called the “putrid blue artists.” They foam at the mouth, have razor sharp fangs, blue skin, black hair, and the blackest eyes. Voluptuous blue actresses carry (normal looking) headshots and expose themselves to the wall. Others carry cameras, scripts, etc. From out of the murky crowd comes Tobe wearing streaks of blue from head to toe. Even his cigar and Panama hat are blue. Tobe fights his way (cigar in mouth) to the base of the wall. The putrid creatures claw at him as he scales the wall to the top. Some of the putrid blues make it to the top of the wall but are swiftly shot through the head by the guards. Once Tobe reaches the top, his body is bathed by the rays of the golden sunset (from the other side) and the blue begins to completely dissolve from his body. Tobe then jumps over into Shangri-la." WTF?
That sounds terrible. by Billy Batts	Jan 28th, 2008 12:22:39 PM
Like.....really bad. Suffering artists? Guh.
I gotta agree with you there, Kloipy by Turd Furgusen	Jan 28th, 2008 12:23:58 PM
It ain't no "Pink Floyd". The only way I see that scene play out is tongue and cheek. Ala: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00 88846/trailers-screenplay-E116 66-310
Question for Vern by ArcadianDS	Jan 28th, 2008 12:24:22 PM
At what point in the interview did you realize this guy was moonbat crazy? I figured it out as soon as he described his "Night Of The Living Blue Man Group Cannibals" thing with the giant wall and the blue women being exposed. If I was conducting this, my next question would have been "geez where'd the time go?" and I would have put as much distance between me and this guy as can be considered reasonably safe. Miles Davis taught us all that the blues aren't always a bad thing. Having to choose between Mr Davis and this lunatic looking for work, I'm going with Mr Davis.
Gimme a bottle of anything by Abominable Snowcone	Jan 28th, 2008 12:44:05 PM
and a glazed donut. Ta go.
Arcadian by Vern	Jan 28th, 2008 12:44:42 PM
I actually asked that one last, after it occurred to me I should have him explaining what the movie is instead of me trying to sum it up at the beginning. So I meant for him to describe the movie, but I guess he thought I was asking about the meaning of the title. Anyway yeah, I did not expect that kind of answer but oh well. He did mention HOLY MOUNTAIN so I guess I should've known it was gonna be a little more out there. And I'm glad to see somebody giving Tobe Hooper credit as an artist. We'll see what happens.
Thanks by SuckLeTrou	Jan 28th, 2008 12:48:54 PM
I share your irrational love for TCM, Vern, a classic American comedy of manners that I've seen at least 40 times now, and it never fails to surprise me with how perfect it is. People around me get frightened for their safety when I talk about the remake. I might watch this guy's film. Maybe have a cocaine-snorting Hollywood producer named Mike Albay who wants to remake old horror films be one of the victims. He can get his sack lobbed off with a chainsaw and fed to him. I'd watch that.
it's the Un Chien Andlou of TCM movies by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 12:52:30 PM

Tobe DOES deserve a lot of credit by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 12:55:58 PM
I've loved a lot of the guys stuff. I think guys like Hooper, Romero, HGL, and the like never get the recognition that they deserve. People never seem to mention that these guys have created films that go beyond genre and have become iconic
I REMEMBER SUMMER SCHOOL by lecter1914	Jan 28th, 2008 02:07:22 PM
Had that awesome scene where like the principal walked in and everyone was all dismembered and impaled and jst really bad looking. Turns out it was just a makeup gag the students pulled. I always wanted to do that to someone.
DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 02:09:53 PM
Obviously you've never seen the original TCM, because if you did, you would know it is not "gore-laden". So move along
Headcheese, Stalking Leatherface by ThePilgrim	Jan 28th, 2008 02:16:48 PM
I love the idea of this movie. You should call it headcheese over the original title. Sorta like a homage to the original title and in a way a commentary about the mentality of the production itself. I would often find myself wondering more about the production of the film then the film itself while watching it. Even more so while watching documentaries like A Family Portrait and so on. I think the biggest problem to tackle will be in reviving the look and setting of the original film. I love those masks in the first film more than anything. Whenever I see a replica of them. I judge it too much and I always see how much they don't look like those original 3 masks. But then again too think of how cool your film could possibly be. I think you have to go back back to a time before the film was being shot and focus more on the time just before it. Show Tobe and Kim working on the screenplay, Show the original guy that got the leatherface job, show him getting smashed, and locking himself up in his hotel room, refusing to come out, Thus opening the door for Gunner Hansen, and Tobe asking him if he was crazy or could pretend too be. Show Bob Burns riding around Texas collecting dead animals to stuff and make furniture out of, have him show up at funeral houses asking about procedures and taxidermy, and going to vets and asking for dead bodies, and farms asking for bones. Show Dotty Pearl and Bill Barnes making life mask off of Jay Parsely and a few other friends to make the leatherface masks and Bill sculpting the wax dugan mask that would become the grandfather appliance. Show Tobe and Kim going to that club that Jay Parselys Father owned to ask him for that 60 thousand dollar loan for the film. Show Tobe convincing whats him name to let him use the van making comments about how it wold be better if they could remove the door to film certain shots and him getting pissed off. So much stuff happened just before they began filming that it could also make a great film if you focused on that. Once your out there making the movie about the movie and we see the masks and the setting lots of the hardcore fans are gonna compare to much. Maybe if you never show leatherface. And if you do, only shots from behind him. The saw used is a Poulan 245 A. I don't know if that helps. I'm a TCM nut.
WOW by marcomc2	Jan 28th, 2008 02:24:31 PM
I Love this guy!!! I completely agree with him claiming you can not make a knock off or a remake about this to pay tribute to TCM, that this is the way to do it. Fucking Genius..I hope this gets made. It gives me hope as well, that I can make a film like this. Good luck and Props! Peace
Let's make a bad movie about a bad movie! by skywalkerfamily	Jan 28th, 2008 02:35:07 PM
Sweet idea!
I guess most here are too young to understand horror by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 02:55:51 PM
and I can understand somewhat being that you've only been fed shit movies like HOstel, Saw, and remakes of GOOD horror films

Just take a look at the A-Z section. by Turd Furgusen	Jan 28th, 2008 03:05:38 PM
There is a ton of stuff in there, that I totally forgot.
turd, good to hear it. Danny by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 03:07:46 PM
Exorcist and Poltergeist are great horror movies too, however so is TCM. It is def not a 70's version of Hostel though. It's insanity. I think people have become so desensitized to violence that when people who haven't seen the original TCM see it for the first time might say "this sucks it wasn't even scary". But it is. It is so fucking insane and such an example of being out of your element and losing reality. I used to work with people with mental disabilities and let me tell you, spend enough time listening to people go on about seeing monsters that aren't there is enough to drive you kind of crazy. It is just such a raw movie that to me feels real and the second one is just crazy as fuck and fun as hell
turd by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 03:11:38 PM
there is a ton of great shit on that list
Man, did Peter Cushing rule the roost back then. by Turd Furgusen	Jan 28th, 2008 03:21:33 PM
Holy crap. Agreed, Kloipy.
70's and 80's Golden Age of Horror Cinema by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 03:29:57 PM
we only get a glimpse now and then any more
Bloo by MC-909	Jan 28th, 2008 03:53:39 PM
Yup. TCM 2 is also the one where Crazy Dennis Hopper kicks a wall in an amusement park and gallons of blood and guts come spilling out....and it's also the one where the heroine is forced to wear the bloody wet face of her dying friend...and it's also the one, eh, you get the point. TCM 2 is fucking crazy, man.
An interesting idea... by EvilGeek1	Jan 28th, 2008 03:55:20 PM
It's different, yet hopefully the same. I hope it's as good as that bit in Ed Wood where they're making Plan 9. Thought that was awesome!
evilgeek by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 03:57:12 PM
it will be just like ed wood except for being cool, it will have a naked "tobe hooper" covered in blue paint twirling his dick around like a helicopter blade and flying to mars with wings made out of bread

Kloipy by EvilGeek1	Jan 28th, 2008 04:08:16 PM
Man you should seriously get in on this WGA thing. You'd make a great scab!
yeah, I could make sitcoms a whole lot weirder by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 04:36:53 PM

Kloipy I got your pilot for ya! by EvilGeek1	Jan 28th, 2008 05:05:05 PM
Darma & Greg meets Lost Highway....on crack! Darma finds a severed head in Greg's saxaphone, so Greg suggests they watch reruns of The Teletubbies and have a masturbation contest while eating fistfuls of jam. Works for me. But what about the demographic???

Horror Business by The Oh My God Guy	Jan 28th, 2008 06:06:08 PM
Seriously, THIS guy gets interviewed on AICN? Hey, Vern, my new script just got financed. Are you going to interview me? Or do I have to act batshit crazy? I stopped reading when I realized that it's the same guy who made that awful "documentary" Horror Business. Worst. Fucking. Documentary. Ever.
Oh My God Guy by EvilGeek1	Jan 28th, 2008 06:11:01 PM
New script huh? What are you remaking? Only kiddin'...
Grace could you give me a hand with the Hitler sushi??? by EvilGeek1	Jan 28th, 2008 06:12:59 PM

Will walks in the apartment by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 06:18:22 PM
Grace is sitting topless surrounded by apples that are bleeding purple drops of blood which splash on the floor and turn into lotus blossums. Monkey's hang from the ceiling and a woman is tap dancing backwards (and she is the only thing in black and white in the room). "Honey I'm home" cue laugh track which is the sound of hogs getting slaughtered
Touche Kloipy Touche by EvilGeek1	Jan 28th, 2008 06:24:22 PM
I don't think I can top that. I think the best I can summon up is The Smoking Hot Francis Mc Dormand Show. Rather pathetic.
Leatherface on Broadway! by quantize	Jan 28th, 2008 06:27:13 PM
Now a musical would really be genius..and i fucking HATE musicals, but THAT, i would line up for.
Bea Arthur nude hour by Kloipy	Jan 28th, 2008 06:28:27 PM
just an hour of her skeleton placed by a fireplace a la Master Piece theater. There is no dialouge just the sound of the crackling wood and the slow process of bone turning to dust
Blues Brothers is really the only good musical... by EvilGeek1	Jan 28th, 2008 06:30:26 PM
The rest are completely un-digestible for any creation without a vagina and thirst for romance novels.

Poth TX and Bar Harbor.... by TomBodet	Jan 28th, 2008 07:00:39 PM
...Sure both are linked (somewhat) to the Texas Chain Saw Massacre(TM). Poth TX either was where they shot some location footage for the movie, OR some of the 'Real life' incidents were based. So one of the locals told me when I was last in that area in '85. Hard saying. As for Gunnar Hanson, well he lives out there on Mt Desert Island, no one really knows it's him, from what I've seen of the local media interviews etc up that way-seems like quite a good egg all the way around. Don't think they'll ever quite recapture the movie's atmosphere, w/ or w/out the Giant Robots, either.
Sounds like somebodys diaper is wet! by PhantomTerror	Jan 28th, 2008 07:48:20 PM
Look out! Oh My God Guy sounds like hes wet himself. I wasnt going to post on this thing but after watching the trailer what I cant stand are jealous fucks who cant handle the fact that someone is getting recognized and theyre not. If your shit dont stink why arent you the latest news? Some of you geeks on here should ask yourselves that question before you share a mouthful of heaping hot shit like if your so great. Suckers! Everyone is a critic nowadays even if all they do all day is sit around posting on shit like this all day. By the way TCM IS GREAT no matter what anyone says and Im looking forward to at least checking out what this guy will do with this.
I think this is a great idea, but it would be better off as a co by RedwingsHoolihan	Jan 28th, 2008 07:59:06 PM
I love TCM. This guy has an enourmous amount of passion for this, but I think he's approaching it wrong. I agree with ThePilgrim's comment. That's how this movie should be made. A blue Tobe Hooper scaling a wall to reach Shangri-La? There were some really funny stories behind the making of this film. Please don't make it pretentious, and artsy fartsy.
PhantomTerror by EvilGeek1	Jan 28th, 2008 08:06:24 PM
I bet you feel really dirty now that you've sunk to our level. God what fiends we are! talking about movies! Debating, discussing, arguing....What right have we to do so!?! I'm not going to lie. There's a lot of cynicism in these talkbacks (and god knows my hands aren't clean), but sadly Phantom, that's the species you belong to (I think). People are cynical, prejudiced and bitchy. Get over it! I'll tell you something, these TB's would be boring as fuck if it wasn't for the bitchiness. Coz even if you get into a filthy argument with someone, it usually resolves and you learn a thing or two. That's my sentimental bullshit finished. I don't know what's more sad. Us or you going to the trouble of putting in a username and password just to dis people who you think are pathetic. If I was you, I wouldn't give a shit!
And another thing... by EvilGeek1	Jan 28th, 2008 08:08:51 PM
There is nothing wrong with being a Geek! Not one thing! I'm one and damn proud!
Why do people keep remaking this movie? by skywalkerfamily	Jan 28th, 2008 08:11:12 PM
The original was nothing special.
Phantom Terror by MC-909	Jan 28th, 2008 08:25:36 PM
So what you're saying is that this guy's shit DOESN'T stink BECAUSE he's being interviewed by Dee Snider? There are quite a few bastards on the talkbacks but I'm willing to bet all the ill will directed at crazy blue Tobe Hooper guy has nothing to do with jealousy. Other times, other directors: yes, without a doubt. This time? No fucking way.

TCM2 by veniceRocks08	Jan 28th, 2008 09:12:08 PM
was the best hands down. Who would even want to watch a crap movie about the making. Somethings are left better alone. BOO!
Geek by PhantomTerror	Jan 28th, 2008 09:20:05 PM
Why do you care then? Why does anyone care about anything for that matter?! The point is EVERYONES SHIT STINKS kids and thats that. I just wanted to say what I think like everybody else "has a right to" like you said cause you just know it all (not really). Im not saying hes fucking Martin Scorsese by any means but it would be smart to actually watch the film before you make some half wit comment because you dont get what hes trying to convey. Since I went to so much painstaking and physically taxing trouble just create a username I might as well put it to use right?
PhantomTerror by EvilGeek1	Jan 28th, 2008 09:37:05 PM
Well that's fair enough. I'm not expecting it to be cinematic gold either, but I'll most likely check it out as well. TCM is a classic. It's influence in the horror world is unparalleled. So anything to do with a chainsaw and a certain crazy hick family, and I'm there (that said, I abhor the remakes completely). Personally I care about a lot of things. Case in point: Flying to Mars with wings made out of bread!
PhantomTerror by leobloom	Jan 28th, 2008 10:04:26 PM
If this dude is fucking Martin Scorsese, that's BIG news.

This film sounds bad to the bone, the pitch film is fucking awesome, and the only thing that's shitty are all you morons who have no idea what you're talking about. Everybody bitches about remakes and "torture-porn" yet a unique project comes along and everybody shits on it. I hope they remake your precious TCM film a million times over you dickfags.. that's what you deserve. Hail Satan.

I appreciate the enthusiasm by Cedar_Room	Jan 29th, 2008 07:05:59 AM
but this film sounds like complete and utter arse. This is no reflection on Vern who is the most entertaining contributor to this site by far - but the other guy sounds like a total douche.
TCM- the original by Lost Jarv	Jan 29th, 2008 11:42:41 AM
Being raised in a sad and repressed little country I didn't actually see it until I was 19. And first time I saw it, it didn't actually do anything for me. However, this is purely because my expectations where fucking completely wrong. Now at the ripe old age of 29, I do appreciate it- and that is something you will never, ever, ever be able to say about anything from Roth, Zombie and those two Saw dickheads.
Hey Vern by Automaton Overlord	Jan 29th, 2008 11:53:17 AM
Hey Vern, I share your passion for the original 'Chainsaw Massacre', coincidentaly I live in Bastrop TX ,which is like ground-zero for TCM locations; (the gas station/BBQ, the road, the slaughterhouse, the bridge from the sequel). I hope that guy tones down his "Hollywood-sushi-fag" vibe if he intends to shoot out here. I really doubt if wearing his hat backwards and sunglasses indoors, will help him enlist local cooperation. I also hope he's prepared himself for every Texan he talks to, to tell him that this is central Texas not south Texas.

You all do not know SHIT. Atleast the guy has guts to make a film and to have the passion he does. All you fuckers can do is criticize and be GEEKS. Got your fucking Gold Passes for your next convention? Vern, thanks for the interview with Chris. Loved it.

Is Hail Satan Dave "The Demon"? by anchorite	Jan 29th, 2008 01:21:15 PM
Was his name even Dave "The Demon"? It's been a long time since the Demon got Juggfuckled. Ah, the good ol' days.
Roger Ebert, I'm calling you out!!! by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 01:23:02 PM
Hahaha what Chaos that was
I don't think HailSatan is the 'demon' by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 01:26:33 PM
he wasn't talking about fa-TAL-aties in a crypt. That was the best fucking review ever. That and the Zoo review+talkback. That was the weirdest day
Hailsatan by MC-909	Jan 29th, 2008 02:33:01 PM
Has to be the guy Vern just interviewed. Either that or his mom. And speaking of the guy... Dude, Christopher, if you're reading these comments, please don't take them to heart and go on a shooting spree somewhere. Such an act is incredibly counter-productive to getting your film made.
Dave the Demon/Chaos by MC-909	Jan 29th, 2008 02:34:13 PM
Hahahahahaha! Vern, fucking interview THAT guy pleeeeease.
He did. Remember? Dave the Demon was on AICN! by anchorite	Jan 29th, 2008 02:46:42 PM
He got juggfuckled! Best TB ever. I'm surprised Moriarty didn't come on that TB, accusing Dave the Demon of not really being Dave the Demon. He probably thought he was Bruce Willis or something.
Central texas South Texas- some of you are faggots. by PhantomTerror	Jan 29th, 2008 02:49:14 PM
You stupid fucks dont know the first thing about making movies and you act so self righteous without even knowing who this person is or what hes about. I bet you all the little cunts that wanna talk shit about this film and its director are gonna be the same idiots still watching when it comes out... like the buttfuckers you are. Because your pin sized brains cant comprehend a 2 minute sequence description doesnt mean its "artsy fartsy". HAS ANYONE SEEN THE BIG LABOWSKI? If you read a 2 minute description of any of the fantasy scenes in that you wouldnt understand them either cause youre a bunch of retards. This shit rocks and all of you maggots will eat SHIT when it comes out. Ill be as annoying to you as you are to the people that are actually doing something with their lives while you sit and complain about it like whiney bags of shit.
DEMON DAVE..... by travis-dane	Jan 29th, 2008 02:55:24 PM

PhantomTerror = The director of this movie by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 02:55:54 PM
look dude, I like stuff that is artistic and touches of fantasy and weirdness are great. However showing that Tobe Hooper is unlike hollywood by painting him blue and having him fly to shangri la is just fucking retarded
I'll bet he does Travis by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 02:56:41 PM
in this crypt of SOD-O-MEEEEEEE
anchorite by MC-909	Jan 29th, 2008 03:15:26 PM
He came into the talkbacks? Whoa, I missed that one. I just remember the review of Chaos and the stories about him at screenings. "You've seen what I did in the movie, imagine what I can do in real life..." and all that shit. Where can I find the talkback where he showed up? Phantom Terror, several talkbackers on here ARE filmmakers and just because you haven't heard of them yet doesn't mean you won't someday. Everyone has their chance to shine. It's like a cosmic thing.
Kloipy = hydrocephallic retard by PhantomTerror	Jan 29th, 2008 03:17:31 PM
WRONG- Im not even a dude. So Hailsatan and I and whoever sticks up for him must BE HIM is that it? Nope. Or am I his mom now too? You people are so dumb its hilarious.
PhantomTerror, how did you know??? by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 03:21:43 PM
and yes you are his mom
and PhantomTerror by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 03:24:45 PM
you need to let your son fight his own battles. I mean, I'm all for someone who loves TCM, but a flying Tobe Hooper is a little much don't you think. But as his mom you probably know him best so I guess I can't judge because he didn't come out of my birth canal
Last by PhantomTerror	Jan 29th, 2008 03:24:50 PM
Well if in fact they are filmmakers which you dont really know that unless its all the same losers that talk shit about people and you know each other, why dont they understand this shit a little better? These are not filmmakers on here. If they are theyre simple minded jealous fucks who wish they could be the latest news on a major website. TOO BAD THEYRE NOT HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Phantom OUT...I do actually have a life.
Ladies and gentlemen... by CHRISTOPHERGARETANO	Jan 29th, 2008 03:37:04 PM
Well Folks, I've read some of your posts and (not to be confused with anyone else on here) I figured I would step up to the plate and put my two cents in. For what it's worth....here it is: So there's this movie I'm going to make and it's called South (meaning southern united states) Texas (meaning the state where TTCM was filmed) and Blues (meaning the state of mind of the artist with all of the odds against him). I'm well aware that I was in Central Texas when I was in Basdrop, thank you. However I didn't wear a hat that week and I was welcomed with nothing but kindness and encouragement. So I suspect that when we do the shoot in Texas (later this year) we will be met with the same spirit that made me appeciate Texas so much in the first place. The "sunglasses" however are tough being those are my prescription glasses and I wear them sometimes. I don't eat sushi and I'm actually from the mean streets of New York. Not LA. Now. As for my much maligned "blue wall sequence" it's far from artsy fartsy.. I hate that shit too and It would never play out like that in my film. It's a short sequence that plays out more like Richard Mathison's I AM Legend (novel), you know those parts where the vamps are coaxing Robert Neville to come out of the house.. if you read the book then you'll know what I'm talking about. Most of the (rest of) film was painstakingly researched and is filled with all of the best known and unknown moments that surround the making of TTCM. Otherwise I guess just wait and see how my film plays out before you try to crucify me. Anyway thanks for your time .. If anyone has anything to ask or say to me I would prefer them to give me the same respect and let me know who they are and send me an e-mail. Here it is STBMOVIE@AOL.com . I'll be more than happy to answer your questions. Thanks again Vern for the interview.
Chris by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 03:41:52 PM
thanks for the insight. I think it's cool that you are such a huge fan of TCM, however I was pretty worried after reading the "blue" stuff. Just didn't seem to make any sense. Thanks for the clear up and good luck with your movie. Hope everything turns out well. Just quick question, is phantomterror really your mom?
Christopher by MC-909	Jan 29th, 2008 03:42:54 PM
Thanks for stepping up and out of the shadows. I have a feeling this TB is about to get real interesting.
it's funny that phantom terror left a couple minutes too soon by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 03:45:50 PM

MOM by CHRISTOPHERGARETANO	Jan 29th, 2008 03:46:13 PM
lol!! Not to my knowledge Kloipy. I don't think she even know's what Aint it Cool News is.
also Christopher... by MC-909	Jan 29th, 2008 03:47:47 PM
I think the problem a lot of people have is trying to envision Tobe Hooper as some sort of "hero". While TCM is a monumental achievement, it seems like your idea of this "creative hell/utopia" and the literal translation of "blues" is too far outside the realm of TCM. First of all, blue is the LAST color I think of when I think TCM. I think I get what your trying to convey about the creative process being torture. I'm just not sure the idea of a crazy blue fantasy sequence is the way to do it.
yeah... by MC-909	Jan 29th, 2008 03:50:06 PM
Where did Phantom Terror go? Hmmmmm....
Hahaha thanks Chris by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 03:50:17 PM
Always nice to have the film maker come in and talk to us and you seem like a good guy, so I'll def give your movie a look. Just one more question for you, what are your feelings on the remake of TCM? I for one fucking hated it with a passion

I had to! by PhantomTerror	Jan 29th, 2008 03:55:06 PM
Point made!!!!!!!!! Im glad he said something. Now all the faggots who talk shit are feeling exactly like the dingleberries that I said they were ESPECIALLY KLOIPSY the annoying little freak that posted 50 times. And to answer youre question if youre still wondering Im not his mom, you just feel like an asshole cause your little cyber bullshit is shattered now pick up the broken pieces and SHOVE EM jerkoff. Why would his mom be on here that is so dumb you just didnt know what to do with yourself. Peace kids.
REMAKE by CHRISTOPHERGARETANO	Jan 29th, 2008 03:56:07 PM
The remake is what it is. It's not like they destroyed the original film (in the process) so it makes no difference. To me it was just another sequel. It was created with the intention of making a return on the investment. Everyone was well paid and it was a much different situation.
Phantom Terror, I thought you had a life to go to? by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 03:56:49 PM
Also Chris cleared it up that you aren't his mom, so no worries
thanks again Chris by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 03:58:09 PM
I appreciate your answers. The saw is family!
MC-909:DEMON DAVE TB..... by travis-dane	Jan 29th, 2008 04:55:46 PM
go to Vern`s website and look it up,the link is in there(I think in the CHAOS review,the old CHAOS,not the new one with Statham and Snipes).Hope I could help.
Gee, Vern... by The Oh My God Guy	Jan 29th, 2008 04:58:53 PM
I make one remark about how I think this guy is an untalented filmmaker and you come back and fuckin insult me? Are you a relative or something? I wasn't saying anything about you at all but way to take it personal anyway. And let me get this straight. You're only interested in hearing about a new genre movie if it has something to do with TCM? Sorry, mine's an original. Christ, Vern, don't be so fuckin touchy.

lol. Student film maker shitfest alert... by Tourist	Jan 29th, 2008 05:32:41 PM
...I stopped reading after the first paragrah. "SOUTH TEXAS BLUES represents the struggling artist’s state of mind. There’s a specific scene in STB that emphatically represents the title. It’s a fantasy sequence titled (in the script) “Beyond the Blue Wall.” Tobe’s line from the script (that he reads in narration during the scene) is: ”It’s a wall that separates the artists who suffer from the blues from the industry that despises them. It’s hard to bring the two camps together because they’re always fighting for different goals.” Yeah. Okay. I've seen the behind the scenes dude. It was really hot and smelly apparently. I don't know what else you hope on bringing to the table on this overexposed flick. Really, really crap title by the way. Also, Im curious...I understand interviewing, say, the guy who made the I Know What You Did Last Summer guy. He made a movie. It was even coming out soon. But lately...A pretentious loser who WANTS to make a shitty movie and some dude who WASNT in Star Wars? Are you honestly that desperate for content that youve started interviewing the talk backers?
Kloipy and Travis-Dane by MC-909	Jan 29th, 2008 05:43:21 PM
Thanks. I'm reading it now. You guys are right: that is one epic TB.

Are fucking kidding me? How does Vern always bring in these guy by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Jan 29th, 2008 07:38:09 PM
I wonder how many directors of movies verns reviewed DON'T announce themself in the talkback. They could be any of you... or me!?
Tourist, you must be new here. by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Jan 29th, 2008 07:40:15 PM
Or a troll. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Common Fucking Sense, of which you have none. What is that like, being an idiot?
Demon Dave TB by MC-909	Jan 29th, 2008 07:48:28 PM
Holy fucking shit. I just finished reading it for the first time. That has got to be some of the funniest stuff I've ever read anywhere. Thanks for directing me to it. It does seem like some stuff has been taken out, though. Did Juggfuckler say anything other than his inital challenge? I didn't really see anything else substantial. Though what he said was plenty. Also, it looks like "Pantera's" posts were all deleted. Either way it was incredible. The smart-ass comments are partly the reason I visit the site daily...and in that talkback EVERYONE had something funny to say. Brilliant.
MC-909,welcome to the DEMON DAVE club.... by travis-dane	Jan 29th, 2008 07:54:11 PM
FLEX it BITCH!;-)
yeah Juggfuckler said a good amount by Kloipy	Jan 29th, 2008 08:22:19 PM
I'm glad pantera got booted cause he was a douche bag. But yes it was a great TB and a hilarious read

Guy Who Got A Headache by The Oh My God Guy	Jan 30th, 2008 02:45:25 AM
Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with what tourist said? I'm not trying to start shit at all, I'm honestly curious why you think he's an idiot for voicing his disapproval on interviewing this guy. If you think he's an idiot, I guess you could call me an idiot too. I said roughly the same thing as him and Vern jumped all over me (for some reason, I think he took it personally when I didn't mean it that way at all so, Vern, if you're reading this, it wasn't an attack against you). My take on it was that you could throw a rock in any AICN talkback trying to hit a wannabe filmmaker and a lot of people would get knocked the fuck out. Probably half (or more) of the TB'ers on here have either written a script or want to get a movie made (or already HAVE movies made and released) and they chose to interview someone who...has an idea. I didn't get it. Anyway, just thought I'd ask.
"THE OH MY GOD GIRL" by CHRISTOPHERGARETANO	Jan 30th, 2008 04:02:39 AM
I'm sorry folks but I have to say something to this worm. Anonymity seems to keep you very courageous. I think you're the one who's taking this all personally pal. By the looks of it it seems like you're someone who clearly has out for me. Why don't you be a man Mr. Talent and tell us all about YOUR "newly financed" script and YOUR real name. I'm sure everyone here can learn something from a cinematic genius like yourself. Then you'll get your wish and everyone will learn about your greatness on AICN. Your move buddy. Or better yet chief.. why don't you e-mail me in private and we'll talk about it. STBMOVIE@aol.com
oducerproducer by Kloipy	Jan 30th, 2008 06:19:35 AM
thanks man, i'll have to check it out
Tourist by MC-909	Jan 30th, 2008 07:47:56 AM
Interview the guy that did "I Know What You did Last Summer"? Here's a quick rendition of how that interview would go: Vern: Why do you make shitty movies? Creator of "I Know What You Did Last Summer": Doyyyy! Because I'm retarded. Seriously Tourist, more guys like Christopher NEED to be interviewed. Read the interview again and tell me it's not infinitely more entertaining than some douchebag that makes piss-poor "horror" films.
LOL Chris ROFL ZOMG! by The Oh My God Guy	Jan 30th, 2008 06:27:31 PM
Zowie, Chris, do you want to meet in the schoolyard at 3:00 too? Or maybe get our gangs assembled to rumble by the playground at midnight? Now who's taking it personally? Yes, Chris, I'm going to out myself for you because you called me a girl. I can see you haven't developed that thick skin as a filmmaker yet. Don't worry, it'll grow. In the meantime, here's a word of advice. Actually two words and I'm giving it to you because you really seem to need it. Calling people out and asking for their real names SCREAMS amateur filmmaker. The real ones just quietly take the criticism and move on (but you haven't made a real movie so...never mind). If you want some reference, check out any independent movie on IMDB and you'll be able to find hundreds of filmmakers in your class. You can swap stories with them and generally spend a lot of time being angry. It takes a while but you'll get past it. Second, flame wars and insults don't ever work on me but I love to see people try. I've got the mother bitch of all girlfriends and I've always said, if you think you can say something to me that she hasn't already said, go for it. Buddy, you're not even on the same planet much less in the ballpark. So, unfortunately, your worm and girl comments didn't really work. Next time, try "worthless piece of shit untalented filmmaker". I haven't met one yet that liked to be called that. Witness your last post. Anyhoo, you'll have to forgive me if I'm really not too keen on the idea of giving out my real information just to win a flame war with you, as CRAZY as that sounds (hey, "crazy", there's a word you know a lot about). After reading that interview, I do believe that you are actually the LAST person I would want having my personal info and I would rather my email not end up posted all over the internets for everyone to see. So, sorry, but I can't really accommodate you there as much as I know you would like it. By the way, respond back if you feel that you must, but I'm done with this TB. If you want to do it so other TB'ers can see what a witty scribe you are, that's fine but don't do it to try to get a response from me because I can guarantee you 100% that it will never be read. I'm just trying to help you out, chief. Okay, buddy. Buh-bye now.
Last Comment: Thanks again folks. by CHRISTOPHERGARETANO	Jan 30th, 2008 06:43:38 PM
That's exactly what I thought he would say.
Pussies on this thing. by PhantomTerror	Jan 31st, 2008 12:52:54 AM

OMG by Bilblow	Jan 31st, 2008 03:18:01 AM
"I've got the mother bitch of all girlfriends and I've always said, if you think you can say something to me that she hasn't already said, go for it" How many times has she said, "I am having your AIDS baby !!" And that is totally an illegal use of 'mother bitch'
