PLOTZ

Isn't [Peter] Sarsgaard the one playing young Merrin in the EXORCIST sequel?

Nope... here are his credits: [...] although I thought for a minute you were saying he was in another sequel that was GOING to be made and I thought oh please, no... so I took a look at that In God's Hands that's listed for 2003 (just in case) and I thought... oh please, no. That one apparently is somebody trying to be philosophical about the surfing lifestyle; Sarsgaard isn't one of the leads, fortunately, but still. I must get working on a script for that poor child. He likes "interesting" roles and experimental sorta stuff, but there's no fine line between Salton Sea and Empire, between Boys Don't Cry and (oog) Center of the World. It's a big raggedy-ass line in day-glo colors which should not be crossed even by an actor who's as capable of rising above bad material as Sarsgaard is. Pete, listen to me, boy! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

If he's gonna do crap, I wish he'd at least get a summer contract with Fox Family Flicks and join up with Herr Prochnow. I have a plot for them. A huge oil reserve has been discovered in the Canadian mountains (well, that's why it was never discovered before) by Jürgen's geologist daughter, but before she can cash in on it the bad guys kidnap her to make her tell where the oil is. She escapes, but is now lost in a howling blizzard in the mountains... Jürgen and Peter head off on snowshoes to rescue her, and just as they get there the bad guys locate the source of the oil. Lighting a match to get a good look, they blow it sky-high causing a huge FLAMING avalanche to bear down on the good guys as they skirt a cliff... I have no idea how they get out of it, but the Fox Family people won't have any idea either and it'll still have a happy ending. (They can make a jump for it. It worked last time.) Sarsgaard marries Jürgen's daughter, and they all get rich running a ski resort on that oil-slicked mountain. Hooray.

You know, sometimes, you worry me.

Thank you. I AM the creator of Eel Man, you know.

[By the way, someone else claimed there is no reason to assume the "prequel" to The Exorcist is going to suck. I pointed out that the sequels they've already made suck, and they were made before CGI was invented.

The judge ruled in my favor.

For the record, I also asserted that Peter Sarsgaard would be a prime choice for a role like that, but being a fan of his the last thing I want to see is him in a bad horror flick. We're saved for the moment... the star of the movie is actually Stellan Skarsgard. -ed.]
