Just a quick update:

About a year ago, I formed up with my two closest friends and out came Imagos Films.
A few months later, we begun production of our first feature film, Motivational Growth.

A typical day on the set of Motivational Growth

Production wrapped in January, and has since been in post production at a local Chicago post house.

Lex, Edward and I saw Darren Aronofsky’s “The Wrestler” a few days ago and were each of us stunned by the piece. I could be called an Aronofsky detractor in any other circumstance, his earlier work like fingernails on the chalkboard of my brightest hopes. The Wrestler, however, delivers.

One of my favorite films when I was an impressionable young squirt was Bloodsport. Cyborg and Universal Soldier (Dolph Lundgren!) were not far behind. A few years into puberty and I realized that Jean-Claude Van Damme couldn’t act to save his own life and  movies like Timecop and The Film That Shall Not Be Spoken Of only cemented this idea.

I can’t help but think that JCVD wil rock face, however. The trailer, at least, rocks mine. Give it a look, it may rock yours as well.

Also, did you know they are making a Universal Soldier III? I didn’t even know there was a Universal Soldier II…

What was the last Bruce Campbell movie you saw? Was it the one where they were trapped in a snowed in airport and one of them was an alien? Was it the one where he may or may not be Elvis and fights a zombie pharaoh? Maybe it was one of hismany cameos?

The last film in which I saw Bruce Campbell be anything but a reflection of what Bruce Campbell once was, was actually the single film that made Bruce Campbell what he was in the first place. It seems as though he has been riding an image for decades now while the people who actually made the single franchise that gave him any cred at all are off to doing bigger, better things. Sometimes they throw him a bone, sure, but where is the work for this guy that everyone seems to think is the greatest actor ever born?

AICN posted this one-sheet today for a film made in 2007 that has been struggling for almost a year to find a distributor:

It’s one of those films where the main character is actually the actor himself and is sought out by people who don’t get that it isn’t really him doing those things in the movies he’s made and he has to bungle his way through what he’s only done on set to save the day.

The trailer looks fine. It is definitly camp, and it is cool that Campbell is making fun of himself, but haven’t we done this already?

Actually, where the hell is my Brisco County Jr. ??

If you’ve never seen a sweded film before, you’re missing out. Well, you’re missing out on all of the other ones. You know, because I just showed you this one.

Fuck you, Schrödinger.
