WHO DO VOODOO? WE DO VOODOO!

I hate to keep picking on David Spade, but since the debut of Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, there has just been too much delicious Spade-related news items to pass up.

As you may have heard, Dickie was number one at the box office over the weekend. But did you know it’d didn’t earn as much as the studio originally estimated?

So instead of the $7 million they said it raked in, it actually made $6.7 million. That means it bested the number 2 movie – Jeepers Creepers 2 – by less than $100,000.

On top of it all, Paramount Pictures and Happy Madison Productions (Adam Sandler’s shingle) are being sued by Wham-O! – the company that manufactures the Slip N’ Slide. According to them, Spade uses the summertime staple in a dangerous way and that could leave the company libel to lawsuits if any morons decide to follow suit. They also charge the filmmakers violated its trademark by using the product without permission.

Read this article at CNN for the whole story.

In other news, Spade is gathering up all his former child star cronies to do a week on Hollywood Squares to promote the movie.

I just leave that one hanging out there for a minute.

Anyway, enough Spade bashing. Onto some site news.

Some of you may have noticed the site has been running slow the last couple of days. Unfortunately that was due to some hosting problems our crew over at Dayfree Press was experiencing. Those little banners on the left hand side and bottom of the site are hosted on their end and it was slowing things down a bit. Things should be up to speed now, but let me know if you run into any more slowdown.

Also, I’ve finished inking my SECOND POSTER that I will be selling on the site soon.

I won’t reveal the design until later, but I’m thinking of debuting them at the Minneapolis Fallcon (WHICH I WILL BE ATTENDING OCT 4,5). So if you’re in the area, you’ll get first dibs.

That’s about all that’s going on in my life right now. I’ll update you if there is more to tell later!
