Greetings, 'Thonners!
It has been quite some time since I've had the time to post anything, and I just wanted to confirm for everyone (miko especially) that I am not, in fact, deceased.
I figured everyone here would be interested to know that I just currently read not only the script, but also the SCHEDULE for an upcoming superhero blockbuster that has been discussed in this very forum. It may very well turn out to be my next job. Which makes me feel like jumping up and down with geeky abandon.
Prudence demands that I not reveal the title of the movie here, but if someone wants to guess in the Comments section, I'll be more than happy to spill (some of) my guts.
Sorry to have been away so long!

I guess, Avengers, whomever you are. (I still believe Stan was killed, probably at the bottom of a huge pile of naked Hollywood starlets...ah, the life of the movie people)
Nah, I'm thinking it's Captain America!
No, I'm the real Stan! I SWEARI Ask me a question that ONLY Stan would know :)
And it's not the Avengers. I'll reveal that it is a SINGULAR superhero in this movie, not a group...
JPX has one WORD of the hero's name correct...
And it wasn't a huge pile...just Julia Roberts. But she was tough to roll off me...
Ah, so it must be Captain Marvel???
SHAZAM! What would you like to know? Everything?
EVERYTHING!
Well, I think it's common knowledge at this point that they got The Rock for Black Adam, which is friggin perfect. I can confirm that most of the rumors are true, it's an origin story (both Marvel AND Adam) that sticks pretty faithfully to the comic. It's set in Fawcett City (which may in reality end up being...Boston! Hell yeah!), and overall it ends up being Marvel vs. Adam in the final, with a few really surprising twists...of which I will bait you now...
I have to insist that this stays within Horrorthon. No Superherohype or any of that shit. I could get into serious trouble if it's ever traced back to me.
And this just happened - the 1st AD I'm currently working with just walked back into the office, so I had to close this window immediately. Fortunately, he was distracted by a phone call from...Peter Segal. Yes, THAT one. To say that Shazam is, in his words, "really heating up." And he's got the job. Which means I might.
Holy fucking shit.
Oh, and there's some time travel and 2 Captain Marvels at one point.
Awesome Stan. We promise nothing will leave this blog. Now about those beans - spill'em.
Welcome back to the blog. I wish you'd post here more often.
welcome back handsome stan and congrats on those cool possibilities. might there be actual filming done in boston?
I volunteer to hunt and punish any who violate Pretend Stan's "cone of silence".
Now I have to get this next bit right...my wife has no interest in any of this stuff and often walks by while I am on the blog and calls me geek. HOWEVER, the wife has a thing for The Rock, her exact words when I relayed this bit of movie info? "Tell Stan I volunteer to be The Rocks assistant, ass-cleaner, whatever". I relay this story only because she said ASS-CLEANER!!! WTF.
I can't stress enough that it's all really tentative, but I know they're looking very seriously at Boston as the primary location, with green screen type crap being done in LA, starting maybe as early as next summer.
Let's see...Cap thawrts a big blimp's accident (the Sivana family's blimp), his secret identity is revealed to his 8th grade teacher, who had a crush on Cap before that, and there's all sorts of weird shit with a tiger that leads him into the Rock of Eternity for his first meeting with Shazam. And the time travel thing is too complicated to get into in one post.
Captain Marvel was always one of my favorites growing up, and they are totally sticking to what makes him so appealing. Rather than turning Cap into a stern Superman clone, they've kept him as the 12 year old boy stuck in a superhuman man's body. There's a lot of (I hesitate to use this comparison, for obvious reasons) Big-type of humor in it. But the whole thing is a far cry from friggin Tom Hanks looking down his underwear in the morning with a surprised expression. But there is that vibe with Cap. In a good, good way, trust me.
And I feel like I'm echoing something I read recently, either here or on somewhere. But I can totally confirm that what's on the page is faithful and totally cool.
(I have to be careful on these posts, because my current boss on this movie, the 1st AD who might hire me on that movie, keeps walking by my computer)
And miko, if I don't end up as the 2nd Assistant Director, I may have to volunteer for the Ass-Cleaner position.
My girlfriend will understand.
Your wife could be the 2nd Assistant Ass-Cleaner. But the pay isn't so good.
This is all terrific news! Stan, If the shoot in Boston I really want to be an extra, please, please, please, please?
I knew this day would come. And I've prepared for it.
I'll give you a choice: you can be an extra, and bring your camera and photograph things you shouldn't photograph and run the risk of maybe getting yelled at and kicked off the set, in which case you've never HEARD of my name, OR...
I could simply have you on set as my guest, where you'd be able to sit behind the monitors, wear headphones to hear the dialogue, and maybe meet the cast & director. But you can't get any good photographic dirt, simply because you'd be my guest.
That offer is always on the table for anything I work on, and that goes for all you 'Thonners in New England or New York. And it seems I'm finally getting work on things that are actually cool, as opposed to diaper commercials and Meet Joe Black.
For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good feeeeellooooooW!
And so say all of us!
umm, handsome stan, you don't know me at all, but i would still take you up on that offer in a heartbeat. option number two for me please.
That's very cool, thanks Stan. I'm glad you weren't killed, although a little sad that there aren't naked women in piles in Hollywood....another dream crushed.
Sorry I took so long to respond, I passed out, you see.
NUMBER 2 NUMBER 2!!!
I promise to behave!
i too would behave.
I almost certainly would get into some trouble.
Well, maybe we can even have a Horrorthon Day on the set in Boston! There's a few other New England-types here, right?
And it would be great to see part of the group together, outside, squinting in the harsh, harsh sunlight. Why does it BURN?
And I think I only know what TWO of you all look like for sure...
I will now be taking any requests for set visits to the set of this independent movie I'm working on in Lowell - "Four Single Fathers." Any takers, anyone want to - hey, where'd everybody go?

Love the new avatar, miko!
Stan, wanna know what's weird? When I read your cricket comment, at that exact moment I heard a cricket, I shit you not!
That's God's way of blessing all that is Horrorthon.
Jesus, on the other hand, couldn't give a shit.
Thanks JPX, it's in honor of Octo. He introduced me to GJ.
And if you check way down on the BWF blog, there's a picture of me sitting in JSP's old kitchen in Norwood wearing a Cap T-shirt.
That one had the yellow lightning bolt. Also hanging in my closet is the new Alex Ross-inspired "gold" version, a blue Captain Marvel JUNIOR t-shirt, and a black Black Adam t-shirt.
I just want to state here, for the record, how much of a dorked-out Captain Marvel WHORE I am.
I also convinced a former roommate to SEW TOGETHER a Mary Marvel skirt for a costume party, because she kind of looked like her. No, I didn't sleep with her, because she was crazy.
Crazy is a reason not to hook-up? Since when? I haven't been married that long.
Not when you LIVE with her. Even if she DOES look like Mary Marvel. With big boobs, too.
handsome stan must have a wicked good super-ego. the fake mary marvel would have had sex with handsome stan, since she was willing to sew the skirt and all.
Oh, totally.
Don't get me wrong, I know what kind of effect I have. Mary Marvel was mine for the taking. But she was crazy. You can't invite a psychopath into your bed, no matter HOW big the boobs, no matter WHICH comic book t-shirt she wears...
If she had worn the Leia gold bikini, this would be a different story...
Um, damn my job - I missed all of this today!!
But, I want option two Handsomestan - bragging rights is good enough for me.
"You can't invite a psychopath into your bed..."
This would have been nice information to have prior to my first marriage.
Really? I introduced you to GrimJack? Hmm. That kinda makes sense but it very neatly short circuits the mockery cap I was going bust on your ass for your silly 80's comic book avatar.
Did you ever go to the library and find a FAT hardcover collection of a ton of old comic book stories? I got a Captain Marvel one and loved it. I remember this storyline in which Dr. Sivana and his two kids split up to gather some weird substance in the past, present and future (it was the same substance, but it morphed over time into different stuff, so they had to chip a piece off in each era). When combined they could make a shield that blocked the Marvel Family's lightning bolts from hitting them and therefore yelling "Shazam!" was neutralized.
And they always called CM "The Big Red Cheese." Ha!
Octo, damn I had to do some hardcore googling to find GJ too! Seeing all the Watchman stuff made me think of a comic book you gave me to read around the same time. I spent half an hour on some of the nerdiest sites ever trying to find out what it was...poof, GrimJack.
