Congrats, Ace! Good luck with the pitch!

Good Luck Ace! Let me know if I can help in your absence (I'm at least as good as Hoke Malokey and Smitty!) and I'd be glad to do it. Just drop me an e-mail.

The only thing better than crazy blog money? Crazy movie industry money.

mmm....fresh blood

May the Force be with you! Seriously, kick much ass in the spirit of Anka. You are the only one that matters in that room...

As you're coming "out west" - let me know if I can buy ya a beer when you get to LA.

(p.s. you know my email, hit me up)

A.

A, always.
B, be.
C, closing.

Always be closing.
ALWAYS BE CLOSING!

Did you know there's a conservative filmmaker's blog out there? Libertas is the name of it.

Good luck Ace!

Senator,

Thanks, but I've already asked several people... but I appreciate the offer.

Fat Kid,

Would love to have a beer, but I'm, um, not quite going to be where you are.

Keep it on the DL-- not LA, Sundance.

See how crazy I am about my anonymity? I don't even want to take a chance that someone can place me in Utah next week.

Brian, See-Dubya, Geoff,

Thanks for the encouragement.

And Brian--

I do intend to ALWAYS BE CLOSING. And to remember AIDA:

Attention.

Interest.

Decision.

Action.

(I have a feeling "Attention" isn't right.)

You know what it take to sell a script to Hollywood?

It takes brass balls to sell a script to Hollywood.

Amish,

Hope you enjoy the new blood.

As my agent would say 'This is huge, baby, it's HUGE!'

Seriously, good luck

'Attention' is right - and don't worry, second prize is a set of steak knives. Don't ask about third prize.

Excellent. Glad the bleg seems to have worked out for you.

Is this where I say "break a leg" or something?

Sending good ones your way. Don't forget all of us little people:)
XoS

I'm already laughing at the thought of Ace blogging from Cannes. Good luck.

君達の基地は、

I just want to get within ten paces of Michael Moore, like Jet Li in Hero.

And I will not pussy out just to have a unified China.

Believe you me.

(Ummm... you may now be saying, "Thanks for spoiling that movie, Ace." To which I say: the movie sucked, except for the pretty pictures. I've spoiled nothing.)

Sondra,

Thanks!

Slice like a hammer, Ace. We're rooting for you.

Allow me to be the 75th person to wish you the best of luck.

Best of luck! Just remember, it's not always a lengthy romance.....sometimes it's just gotta be like a Viking.

Good luck, ace, and make us proud. Don't make a fucking maniac out of us.

Courage...

Oh yeah... and All your Blog Belong To Us.

Let me be the first second next to wish you luck, Ace.

And hey, if Hollywood doesn't want your script, the CBS Evening News could probably do something with it.

Kick Mikey once for me!

Previous comment was much funnier with the strikethroughs intact. Trust me.

Did they send the Ted Danson plane?

Let me guess, 'House Party IV: Kidd's Revenge'. Or maybe a Paul Anka vehicle.

Seriously though, good luck.

I read your site many times a day. I do not comment much as I enjoy the postion as a veiwer rather than a particapant. But I did want to drop you a note and say goodluck. Try not to get any of the left coast slime on ya!!!

You don't have to be a star, baby
To be in my show

-But it couldn't hurt!
Good luck!! Wow.

If you meet anybody really cool, don't be shy about shameless name-dropping.

I don't comment often, but I am a regular reader and love your blog and also reading the comments. It seems to me that your readers are the most intelligent. Good luck with your trip. If the script is even half as enjoyable as your blog you will be just what they are looking for. It has been a long long time since anything original came out of Hollywood.
Looking forward to being able to say we "knew" you when.
Sincerely

Awesome news, best of luck, Ace! We need some good conservative-types in Hollywood. You know, besides Dennis Hopper! :-)

Good luck, Ace. Hope things go well with you.

I have a favor to ask of you - could you kick Robert Redford in the shins for me?

Thanks.

Good luck with the pitch. Keep your conservatism in your pocket. The folks in Hollywood won't approve.

Is it appropriate to say "break a leg" to a film person? Or is it just for actors?

Anyway good luck, and keep us posted.

It's a trap. Everybody knows to get a script looked at at Sundance means you have to give up the "stinky starfish". And that's not even counting the blowjob you'll be doling out to some guy named Calvin who claims he's "with Weinstein's people".

But go ahead, learn the hard way. Like I did.

I look forward to the day when you wear a huge platinum and diamond necklace with the word "Ace" spelled out in bling. And you pour bottles of Krystal out just for fun.

Alright alright, just kidding, knock em dead!

I think this "Sundance" shit is all a smoke screen.
I say hes working on a porno. Why else would he be so secretive? What is the working title you ask?

'Ace in the Hole-Ace does Hollywood'

I just hope Andy Sullivan isnt co-plotter...

I am surprised that as of yet no-one has stated the obvious in reference to the guest-bloggers. Ace, you are the only important poster on this blog.

Knock 'em dead.

Coming soon...."The Guys Get Shirts: The Movie"

good luck out there

Ace, just remember what I said about Lance Ito jokes never getting old and you'll do just fine.

HA! Sitting at a beachside cabana in Cannes drinking sweet mint teas with topless starlets begging for attention. "No, baby, I got to get back to my blog. I'm finishing my report on yellowcake."

How cool is that? Make it big you crazy sob!

Good luck!

Good luck, Ace!

I myself am hoping it is an Andy Sidaris type film.

And FYI, it better not be about zombies on submarines, because you don't want my attorney after you.

And on a side note -- if Ron Howard wants to schedule a late night meeting with you, you might want to pass. Let's just say that Opie can be a little "handsy".

Please tell me it another teen movie. Complete with nerdy girl being rescued by the cute rich athletic guy. I can't wait.

ACE you chose a good time, for the post-election fatigue has set in big time. If your script is half as witty as you are, it can't fail. I wish you all the luck.

... By the way, I have this idea for a sort of current- updated-Rap-version-Romeo-and-Juliet-in NYC-Planet-of-the-Apes-thingie, oh and it stars Angelina Jolie. Let's do lunch!

I hope whatever the project is, you totally sell out all your artistic integrity and conscious. That your checks don't bounce, and you get full value on your money.
Then you can blog fulltime.

Ace,

Sure, you go West, and I'm in NYC for the next three days!

Sorry, I haven't been able to get the info you requested, but I'll keep trying.
And once that script sells, you'll really see all that Crazy.Blog.Hollywood.Money.
One word of caution, do not trust anyone in LA.
No one.
No.
One.
Especially actresses.
That is all. Travel safely.

Thanks, everyone. Your support is generous and it really helps to know that someone out there is rooting for me.

I tried to make a joke about giving Dennis Franz some hand-love, but I got censored by my own stupid site. Geeze, how do you guys put up with this?

And why the hell is Dennis Franz considered "questionable content"? I mean, apart from the obvious.

Go A-Ace! Go A-Ace! Go A-Ace!

(think Bring It On for complete mental image)

Good grief, after all this well-wishing, any further gushiness seems too brown-nosey.

So, burn in H***, Ace.

Wait, no, that's too harsh.

Just, hurry back, man. You got some good subs but we'll miss you.

Later,
bbeck
