Smokin' Joe Carnahan: A DISPLAY OF ASTONISHING DOUCHEBAGGERY

A DISPLAY OF ASTONISHING DOUCHEBAGGERY

04/27/2008 at 02:10 PM

Guys:

This is one of the reasons I'm considering just closing the site down. When
bores like this plop down in here and everybody wonders why I don't post comments any
longer: It's the death of every good moment I can squeeze out of a day. But since I
started this, here goes:

When losers and lost causes are given public forum, you get guys like JOHN ATKIN who
come onto this site and claim to be the cousin of my first A.D. on NARC and
then go on to misspell his last name. It's not JORDAN moron. It's MICHAEL
JOHNSON. Next time, if you want to randomly attack me, at least visit IMDB
and get the guy's name right. Michael and I got on pretty well. So well in fact
that I tried to get him on several films after NARC and actually bring him to L.A.

You never visited the set and if you had, you wouldn't have heard any yelling from
me. I don't yell fu*ckface. Ask anybody WHO ACTUALLY WORKS IN THE BUSINESS.

So again, we've got a case of some assh*le coming onto the site and just spewing
trash. Only this particular assh*le didn't have the common sense to do it anonymously
so if you're interested, you can check out 'Actor and Performer Of Special Skills'
(I'll bet they're REAL SPECIAL hoss) JOHN ATKIN at the following:

http://www.globalproducer.com/ID22347

As one of the leads in the short film 'Billy Bites People' John is uniquely qualified to
comment on my career trajectory and its considerable failings.

And pally, before you go throwing around 'Fat and Bald' comments, you might want
to update that handsome headshot you've got online.

That's it. I've taken precious time out of my life that I won't get back, addressing this
putz, who doesn't even have enough gas in the tank to be a f*cking footnote in the
entertainment biz.

John, I'd wish you luck but all the luck in the world ain't gonna get
it done for you. THIS, sadly, will be the closest you will ever get. Sparring
with yours truly, which is like me having a slapfight with a eighty-six year old
invalid.

So next time you pick that fight, make sure you do it like the rest of the chickensh*ts
who take swipes at me on this site and just 'John Doe' it. And next time, try to post
something APPROACHING the truth.

Wow. What a waste of time. Sorry to the regulars for this idiotic post but I wasn't gonna give
this guy a pass for those comments. My daughter is sitting next to me at the airport, we're both
bored stiff and she begged me to retaliate, so there you have it.

Well, I can easily understand your nessicity to answer to this 'guy' I keep ignoring like all the other ones coming here exclusively to insult or play some very strange (not to say lame) game.

But please Joe, don't consider closing the site down because these guys have so many time to lose in their life they come here and say stupid things. I personally ignore them for a long time now but being their target, I guess it's harder for you.

Maybe you should try to make the comments on this blog for registered members only. It may be a solution even if the guys can still register, comment and get banned, and do it again. But at least it makes things more complicated and tracking them would be easier.

I don't have any solution but it would be a shame to close this blog when you have so many wonderful regulars hanging around :)

PS: a little pun as a conclusion: SJC, you smoked da guy! (it's late over here, please be lenient with me) ^^^

During a short period John August had to close down the comments section to his site for this very reason (especially during the strike!). I believe he's back up, but I don't really go over there that much.

Comments from others is what essentially creates the "community effect" and of course, when everyone is involved and commenting back and forth it can be productive and entertaining, but there are those out there that just have it in their blood to be assholes! I don't get it, but it is what it is and it's not going to change.

It would be a shame if those assholes got what they wanted and yet, at the same time, having them post is really much of a waste of any writing I care to read, so I guess that's the quandary.

How do you keep productive people in and the ten year olds out on an internet that's up for grabs? Wish I had an answer.

Well, I have been coming here everyday for many months now, mostly checking to see if there is any news on KP, etc. Posting now and again.
And I have been following the recent battle getting more and more depressed.
So I agree with your daughter about you nailing this guy and other trolls; it somehow makes me feel better.
Some 10 yr olds (don't know how old your little girl is) are much more mature than these morons.

Why do people even both comment on someones blog if they can't say something nice? This fellow doesn't even know you and he's taking cheap shots.

That just goes to show you how mature people are these days, sheesh. Sounds like John Atkin needs to get himself a life, ASAP.

Wow.

Your daughter rocks!

Utterly speechless.

Kevin

PS Have a safe flight.

who cares really? its over, just keep on trucking. i feel you all get way too emotional about these things. let people have their opinions, agree, disagree, and move on. it doesnt matter in the grand scheme

you could very easily just turn "Comments off" and save yourself the headache. It's the internet -- civility is a lost art here.

Posted by: Casey Moore 04/27/2008 at 06:11 PM

This is what ruins things. People being idiots just because. Really Joe, as much as I like dropping a comment in here every now and then, I think turning the comments off would work better. Then you don't have to deal with the idiots.

Really, the site is great; but I think it is time for the comments to go away. It sucks, but it also neuters those who think they are entitled to say whatever they want with no repercussions.

I'd say, "Just ignore 'em," but I'm not so idealistic to think that is always the right approach. I would say that you don't need to stoop to anyone else's level as far as your fans are concerned. There will always be jerks who get their kicks by cutting you down, but in the end, everyone winds up with the reputation they deserve. I honestly believe that. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Joe, the guys an idiot. I hope no one actually thought he was anybodies anything on that set. Safe flight. Looking forward to hearing more about KP. Keep posting. Ignore the dipshits.
