WARNING: This is one of my more chatty posts. Get a glass of your favorite beverage, relax, and read on.

I've been noticed! I mean noticed noticed. Well, I may have been noticed before, but I didn't notice if I were noticed, but now I know I've been noticed, doncha know.

Emissaries from Monsieur DeCoteau have made it known that they find my unassuming little blog of interest. I was e-mailed a press kit for one of David's squidzillion recent productions, 1313: Wicked Stepbrother. It contained some lovely photos (above) that I was able to transform into wallpaper. Those'll be under y'all's Christmas tree tomorrow.

By the way, I have been assured that Luke and Jarrid are not the same person. Then they must have been separated at birth. If so, they'd be the hottest brothers since Sam and Dean. How does he manage to get so many hot young guys in his movies, and have them wear next to nothing? I have my suspicions. I think he'll be going to Heaven, for bringing entertainment to so many for so long. Voodoo Academy alone has provided much inspiration for a group I've been involved with for years.

It's funny; I've been a fan of David even before I knew I was. What, me, obtuse? What I mean is, one of my favorite movies back in the day was Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama. I also really liked I Was a Teenage Sex Maniac. It wasn't until after Voodoo Academy that I found out they were directed by the same guy. He also did a pseudo-Lovecraftian movie, which adds more points in my book.

I've only seen clips from his recent stuff (it's so hard to keep up). Seems like one commonality in his 1313 series, aside from the obvious, is the location. Almost all of them look to have been filmed at the same swanky house. I don't know if it belongs to David, or a friend of his, or he just got a good deal. It must have helped cut production costs, that's for sure. Doesn't really matter where he films, as long as the cast looks like it does.

Speaking of that, he should film down here in Florida sometime. It's more than beaches and Disney World. Sunny, various scenic opportunities, the options are myriad. I know that Burn Notice and The Glades are currently filming here. Oh, if David could get Matt Passmore in a movie during Matt's downtime, maybe speaking in his natural Australian accent...

Where was I? Oh yeah, filming in Florida. There are filming facilities in Orlando due to Disney, of course. And a number of movies have filmed down here. Heck, some of his actors are from Florida originally. We're gay friendly, too. Maybe not everywhere, but definitely in places like Key West, Miami, Orlando and Tampa. Ghu knows we can use the business, 'specially since that whole Gulf thing last year. Which didn't seriously affect us, anyway. So here's hoping.

More tomorrow. Happy Holidays, y'all.
