Big Project Done

Sorry I've been such an absentee blogger. Long story short, turns out a friend from college actually made himself some pretty decent connections in Hollywood, and that he actually likes a script I wrote some time ago and have had no luck getting read by agencies or studios.

I had to spend the last three days giving it a last edit and generally putting it into good shape.

Anyway, that's done now. For the next couple of days, my only excuses for not blogging will be sloth and "too much nog."

Merry Christmas Eve!

Hey Ace, outstanding! I'll be praying for you. Just remember us little people when you make it big!

And to all the Ace-Of-Spaders: Merry Christmas!

Ace,

Good luck with the project and Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Ace! I'll be pulling for you.

Posted by: JImmie on December 24, 2004 03:33 PM

I'd guessed as much, from previous comments you'd made. So, no plotline teasers for your faithful readers?

Best of luck with it regardless, and have yourself some happy and slothful holidays.

As someone who once cranked out a crappy screenplay, I know that's a tremendous grind. Congrats on finishing, keep us posted, and good luck!

I'd tell you what it's about, but then, the whole reason I'm anonymous is that so no one can connect me to it, you know?

I mean, what if the studio wants Margaret Cho for the female lead? You see the problems there.

Posted by: ace on December 24, 2004 04:01 PM

On second thought, given that Margaret Cho has about as much of a film career as John Wayne Gacy, I guess I have to admit that possibility is somewhat remote.

Posted by: ace on December 24, 2004 04:03 PM

I don't know, Cho would be perfect as the hooker with a heart of gold.

Margaret Cho? - Lightning bolt, lightning bolt!

Posted by: RapidTransit on December 24, 2004 04:59 PM

Merry Christmas, Ace.

Merry Christmas, Ace, and I think we'd all forgive you for blogging under the influence of Nog.

Posted by: Sobek on December 24, 2004 05:41 PM

Ace,

Congratulations.

Merry Christmas.

And thanks for lots of interesting stuff and good laughs during a long, tough year.

Margaret Cho cast in your movie? Eewwww! That's a fate worse than, I dunno, unemployment or some such.

Seriously, congrats, Ace. When you make the big time you'll have to find a way to let us know it's you.

Posted by: keggin on December 24, 2004 07:12 PM

Go, nog!

Merry Christmas! Thanks for all the fun this year.

Posted by: m on December 24, 2004 10:10 PM

Wait, you don't think being known as "the guy behind Ace of Spades HQ" is going to cinch you the deal?

Posted by: someone on December 24, 2004 10:56 PM

So Ace could put Cho in just as a cameo, saying "It puts the lotion in the basket."

PS Merry Christmas! We're off to west-coast midnight service pretty soon. Hope all goes well with the nog-blogging!

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
