THE MAGNIFICENT DOUCHE...AT YOUR DISPOSAL 01/03/2008 at 05:33 PM

Guys:

It's actually quite simple. I'm a f*cking moron that blabbed out of school and blew it
with my Taskmaster story earlier. I preempted something that I had no business
preempting. The paperwork isn't done, the ink isn't dry, so I want to revise my earlier
blog entry and simply say that Marvel and I are in active talks to make this happen but until
it does, it's little more than speculation. And if I've learned one hard lesson kids, it's summed
up best by that oft-quoted Yogi Berra adage: 'It ain't over till it's over...'

So, in the spirit of that, expect a proper update of this story in the weeks to come
but until then, I must remain aggressively mum on the subject.

JC

Oh dear, this blogging is so much more complicated than one would think, isn't it? (Gotta love your enthusiasm though).
Live and learn or as my old dad says "It is not a mistake if you can fix it."

Mum is the word and I am sure all will wait on the edge of seats for things to sort out.

Meanwhile, hope to hear about KP. Love that topic.

Ha Joe, at least you have enthusiasm. Too much "carefully crafted" info these days. Don't sweat it.

LOL. Joe, how many times now have you preemptively posted something and then had to backtrack? Too many for it to be accidental and enough to have your agent monitoring your RSS feed 24-7. C'mon, you love overstepping the line and then doing an 'oopsie' backstep! Any chicken in this coop is gonna get ruffled feathers sooner or later, and there'll be you, sitting in the corner with a fistful of feathers and a 'who, me?' look on your face. It's why your blog rocks balls out while the others are wearing their grandmother's underpants on their heads. Keep it coming, hombre.

F.ck that, Joe! I get called on this sh.t by my family all the time - and they're right! I've been "trained" by the way of this "business" - the little contact I've had in it - NOT to get excited about sh.t. Anything. Why? Because every second something changes and "nothing is what it seems."

But you know what, f.ck all that guarding yourself and not getting excited because "something isn't going to happen the way you think it is." Or maybe it is, but you understand the rarity of that.

To know something MAY not happen the way it's currently drawn out doesn't mean you shouldn't get excited. That's the New Year's Resolution for '08. F.ck professionality or understanding; not being excited about something you work hard for is bullsh.t.

Get excited, ink dry or not, brother!

Peace,

JW

Wait. What??? This thing isn't just between us few folks at SJC?!?! :)
I feel ya homie, sometimes I get caught up as well and say things like, "Hey, do you know what Joe said to me the other day?" to which people will look at me funny and remind me that, "Um, you don't know Mr Carnahan, uh, Joe to you, and typing on a keyboard two thousand miles away isn't exactly 'talking to you', doofus." Then I whip out my "Smokin' Aces" hat and wink, to which they exhale and walk away shaking their heads whispering, "Get a life."

Anyway, I think we all tend to personalize this space a bit too much at times and forget that we aren't all just sitting around the living room shooting the sh*t. (but I bet that would be cool...right Joe, um, I mean Mr Carnahan?)

Peace all,
RTA

We're not? :(

*Going to sit and talk to my "Mr. Carnahan" teddy bear about Killing Pablo and basically cutting the balls off the makers of the other Pablo film*

Can't you just see the resemblance?

In a future I can't imagine, where Mr. C is unable to crack the industry that is hollywood to try and continue making and writing movies, I hope that it is posts like the marvel one and the other premi's that will cause the new generation to forever respect you and forever keep you in a high place.

I know for me, it means a lot getting information like that. Even if it is early, or ends up premature, or whatever. It provides a kind of energy to me and a hope for my future that I couldn't put words on. The truth is free but for telling it there is always a price to be paid.

That's okay, Douche. We forgive you.
