Lunch With David: Return To Ammo

According to a (stupid) study, sequels with numbers don’t perform as well as sequels with names, so…

    wow- the homophobe screams for cock
    That wasn’t Josie who gave you the menu- she was at the front fuming about your sense of entitlement .
    “I’m David Poland they know why I am here.” You’d think CREW would leave your name at the door with a crown, huh? But no.
    Two jokes tank and you turn to your tee shirt.

    Spam, don’t you think you’ve made your point already? Is it really necessary to — your name not withstanding — spam this forum with such relentlessly gleefully condescending remarks? We get the point. Seriously. Soooo…shut the hell up? Please?

    You know, Spam, one thing I never considered about the blog was that someone would start making up detailed lies about me on a weekly basis and post them.
    Your homophobia thing is an opinion (a stupid one) and so what? But the rest is just a fantasy. And I have to say, I am beginning to worry about my safety. You’re really moving into what is traditionally stalker behavior.
    I actually discussed your comments with Ammo’s manager yesterday and we had a good laugh about you. The idea that I might have to start actually investigating who you are, wasting their time and my time, makes me sick to my stomach. But you are obviously at least a semi-regular there and you insist on dragging them (I don’t know who Josie is, btw) into it, which makes them party to your libel.
    I am not threatening you. But I am getting more concerned. Maybe that’s your goal. If my tires get slashed after the next taping, I guess I’ll know who it was.

    Not sure how posting on a public board is libel.
    Your homophobia is just my opinion. Based on remarks you made to me two weeks ago.
    I am glad you and Ann Marie chatted. I think your other readers see no threat from me- they think I am annoying and a nuisance. You think I am douche. And now dangerous. Okay.
    Let me get this straight- you put up a weekly diary and a place for people to comment and then you act all strange when I post my opinion?
    What would you charge me with? Definition of character?
    That said, and not because of the fact that you ARE threatening me… I am gone. I have obviously upset you in a meaningful way and never intended to do so at all. I thought you wanted insight and opinion and dialogue. You have nothing to fear from Spam except being forced to face the truth.
    I hope your other posters realize that if they ask too many questions about endgames they will end up threatened with an ass kicking or worse.
    I am Spam Dooley and I am gone.

    It’s defamation of character dumbass.

    It’s defamation of character, not definition. Unless you think Dave actually thought you were defining him, and that he was threatened by that. Either way, all I can say is, “Dumbass.”

  8. Blackcloud says:

    It seeems obvious Dave thinks Spam has no character. To be defined, defamed, or otherwise serve as a direct object for a transitive verb.

    I thought the definition of character thing was kind of a clever play on words.

    You can opine all you like about me, Spam. But making lies up and claiming them as fact is unacceptable. Giving you a forum to print those is problematic to me in a way it could not be to any of the commenters. And banning you would be allowing you to force me to take action that I have not wanted to take on this blog, ever.
    I have no concern about your opinions or your attempts to stir shit. But if I were to publish “Studio Exec X says Producer Y is a lying cunt and stole money from the budget of Film Z,” that would be quite different than writing, “Publisher Y is a jerk.” Especially if I made up everything but the names. And that is the line you crossed, Spam.

    I thought it was clever too, Eric. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy having Spam around when he’s on his meds.

    Who hates Poland more, Spam Dooley or Kevin Smith?

  13. jeffmcm says:

    Hooray! And you didn’t even have to give him a phone call, David.
    I wonder if there’ll be a new poster in the near future calling himself FlanHannigan.

    I miss Spam already. Like I miss my cancer.
    Dave I think this was your worst piece yet, yes I know these are just fun diversions but do you think you can keep them focused a bit more. There were subject jumps like a cricket on a hotplate. And it doesn’t hurt to have a point to monologues at the end of the day, otherwise its better known as rambling.

  15. Aladdin Sane says:

    Weird, I don’t know why it double posted. I was halfway through writing it and the page refreshed, so I fleshed out the post. But the first post never appeared. Oh well, c’est la vie.

    Spam, this isn’t a public board…this is David’s blog. He has a right to outright ban you for less than some of the crap you’ve posted here, and I’m sure plenty of people would be much happier without your ridiculous posts.

  17. EDouglas says:

    BTW, I think someone should produce a movie where David crosses the country talking about Oscars and the biz to anyone he meets and then it’s filmed to get their reaction.

    Don’t worry about Spam. He can simply go back to his old job making mendacious campaign commercials for Republicans.

    I have nothing to say.

“Two hours in the labyrinth of Paramount’s Avarice…. It was my first–and my last–IMAX venture. Haven’t been to a 3-D movie in years, and it’s bye-bye to THAT scathing visual transgression for the remainder of MY lifetime… It was an unceasing, unrelenting, take-no-audience-prisoners audial and visual back-alley mugging for two hours… I have been beaten up many times; I know what it feels like: this was a two-hour assault. I weep, as Jesus wept, for the generations that will grow up thinking this is what it means to “go to the movies.” I am near-on 79, and I [understand] that this is a generational opinion, but I do not think any sensible person not of a tot age where videogame… overkill is pro forma, could confuse the IMAX “experience” with a Saturday matinee outing. The term “author” as regards Summer Blockbuster movies, is not only moot, it is Urdu. Mountains heave mightily, and give birth to volcanic ant-hills.”

“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
